Integrating Production Planning with Truck-Dispatching Decisions through Reinforcement Learning While Managing Uncertainty
2021
Minerals
This paper presents a new truck dispatching policy approach that is adaptive given different mining complex configurations in order to deliver supply material extracted by the shovels to the processors ...
The approach is tested at a copper–gold mining complex, characterized by uncertainties in equipment performance and geological attributes, and the results show improvements in terms of production targets ...
The mining complex shares the truck fleet between pits A and B. ...

Electricity price forecasting: A review of the state-of-the-art with a look into the future
2014
International Journal of Forecasting
A variety of methods and ideas have been tried for electricity price forecasting (EPF) over the last 15 years, with varying degrees of success. ...
In particular, it postulates the need for objective comparative EPF studies involving (i) the same datasets, (ii) the same robust error evaluation procedures, and (iii) statistical testing of the significance ...
