“…Therefore, it is conservatively believed that the movable parcel locker unit can be used for 1 day when fully charged. The charging process of the movable parcel locker units can be completed in the residential areas [46] or the depot. This paper assumes that the movable parcel locker units return to the depot every night for charging and maintenance.…”

The movable unit equipped with a set of lockers has been recently developed as a new mode to improve the efficiency of the last mile delivery. Locating a set of movable parcel locker units appropriately is a fundamental factor to promote the merits of movable parcel lockers. However, the difficulty in determining where to locate movable parcel locker units arises from the stochastic characteristics of demands. Therefore, we propose a robust optimization approach to determine the number of movable parcel locker units and their locations simultaneously with the aim to minimize the operating cost under stochastic demands and mobility restrictions. To reduce the complexity of the optimization model, the non-linear constraints have been transformed into the linear counterparts, resulting in an integer linear programming (ILP) model that can be solved by commercially available mathematical programming solvers. The results from the numerical examples indicate the proposed approach can obtain high robustness with a small extra cost within reasonable time. In addition, it is found that if each unit is equipped with more lockers, fewer movable parcel locker units are required to accommodate the demands with less operating cost, as the demand points can be clustered into a few intensive self-pickup sites.

“…Innovative and structural changes in urban electric grids, their increasingly close interaction with the transport system, and the service sector determine the trends and related research on the development of concepts for the "smart neighborhood" with a subsequent transition to the "smart city" [1]. The advent of digital electricity meters and the development of telecommunications and elements of smart electrical grids made it possible to increase flexibility, optimize consumption, and reduce energy losses in urban electrical networks by using various adaptive solutions.…”

Development of Digital Twin for Load Center on the Example of Distribution Network of an Urban District

The paper proposes a concept of building a digital twin based on the reinforcement learning method. This concept allows implementing an accurate digital model of an electrical network with bidirectional automatic data exchange, used for modeling, optimization, and control. The core of such a model is an agent (potential digital twin). The agent, while constantly interacting with a physical object (electrical grid), searches for an optimal strategy for active network management, which involves short-term strategies capable of controlling the power supplied by generators and/ or consumed by the load to avoid overload or voltage problems. Such an agent can verify its training with the initial default policy, which can be considered as a teacher’s advice. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated on a test 77-node scheme and a real 17-node network diagram of the Akademgorodok microdistrict (Irkutsk) according to the data from smart electricity meters.

“…The main goal of increasing the spread and use of renewable energy generation systems is to reduce the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions (Roselli et al, 2019). The transition to sustainable energy can be achieved in many ways (Longo, Foiadelli, & Yaïci, 2019) and renewable energy structures must be managed with care so that they do not harm the environment (Ben Jebli, Ben Youssef, & Apergis, 2019). Growing concern about the effects of energy production and the use of fossil fuels on global warming also generates investment opportunities in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects (Martí-Ballester, 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to point out the scientific development and research density of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic, wind, and biomass, using a mix of computational tools. Based on this, it was possible to verify the existence of new research trends and opportunities in a macro view regarding management, performance evaluation, and decision-making in renewable energy generation systems and installations.Design/methodology/approachA scientometric approach was used based on a research protocol to retrieve papers from the Scopus database, and through four scientometric questions, to analyze each area. Software such as the Science Mapping Analysis Software Tool (SciMAT) and Sci2 Tool were used to map the science development and density.FindingsThe scientific development of renewable energy areas is highlighted, pointing out research opportunities regarding management, studies on costs and investments, systemic diagnosis, and performance evaluation for decision-making in businesses in these areas.Research limitationsThis paper was limited to the articles indexed in the Scopus database and by the questions used to analyze the scientific development of renewable energy areas.Practical implicationsThe results show the need for a managerial perspective in businesses related to renewable energy sources at the managerial, technical, and operational levels, including performance evaluation, assertive decision making, and adequate use of technical and financial resources.Originality/valueThis paper shows that there is a research field to be explored, with gaps to fill and further research to be carried out in this area. Besides, this paper can serve as a basis for other studies and research in other areas and domains.
