Capacity expansion in contemporary telecommunication networks
We study three capacity expansion problems in contemporary long distance telecommunication networks. The first two problems, motivated by a major long distance provider, address capacity expansion in national hybrid long distance telecommunication networks that use both the traditional TDM …

An economic optimization model for capacity expansion decisions
… is developed to identify the optimal capital expansion decisions for producers of s consumable products. The model features an optional selection of corporate level in a product tree hierarchy and a choice of several optimizing objective functions. The model assumes that intermediate product …

Task-Aware Spatial and Temporal Aggregation for Capacity Expansion Planning
… is enough? These decisions are the domain of Capacity Expansion Planning (CEP), a class of optimization models that guide long-term infrastructure investments in power systems. To be realistic, CEP models must capture fine-grained spatial and temporal variations because demand varies by city …

Evaluation of semi-passive treatment technologies for septic lagoon capacity expansion
… of the pond system. In order to augment the capacity of the current facility, and ensure it remains a self-sustaining system with the capacity to safely accept septage from other sewage haulers, it was hypothesized that pond effluent treatment could be further enhanced through the …

Cost Optimization Modeling for Airport Capacity Expansion Problems in Metropolitan Areas
… identify an optimal solution to expand airport capacity in metropolitan areas in consideration of demand uncertainties. The study first analyzed four airport capacity expansion cases from different regions of the world to identify possible solutions to expand airport capacity and key cost …

A Capacity Expansion Planning Method for A Regional Water Supply System (Illinois)
The goal of this study is to develop an optimization model for designing an economical regional water supply system which consists of water production and water transmission facilities. Water demands are assumed to be increasing over a planning horizon and to be satisfied from several potential …

Enhanced Representations of Probabilistic Resource Adequacy Risk in Power System Capacity Expansion Modeling
… investment optimizations traditionally rely on capacity-based reserve margin heuristics to produce least-cost solutions that also meet probabilistic resource adequacy criteria. While these conventional strategies have always had shortcomings, they are becoming increasingly untenable as the …

Capacity Expansion Modeling of Hydrogen and Electricity with Sector Coupling in New England
Alternative fuels are necessary to achieve decarbonization, especially of sectors outside of electricity supply. Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier due to its flexibility of storage and transmission and applicability to a wide range of sectors. We model a case study of New England to …

Financial and regulatory considerations in capacity expansion planning for the electric utility industry
… considerations gain paramount importance in the capacity planning decision of an electric utility. Three important financial issues are choice of appropriate capital and fuel costs, effect of regulation and scarcity of capital. The first section of the dissertation is devoted to an overview of …

Electric utility capacity expansion planning with the option of investing in solar energy
… such as solar energy into electric utility capacity expansion programs is as yet unsolved. This thesis develops methods to incorporate solar energy as a decision variable into capacity planning and capacity expansion planning algorithms. The model is based on variable or intermittent …

Capacity expansion modeling of water supply in a planning support system for urban growth management
… support system enhances our ability to use water capacity expansion as an urban growth management strategy. This paper reports the development of capacity expansion modeling of water supply as part of the continuing development of such a planning support system (PEGASUS: Planning Environment for …

Incorporating endogenous demand dynamics into long-term capacity expansion power system models for Developing countries
… a novel approach to long-term power system capacity expansion planning for developing countries by incorporating endogenous demand dynamics resulting from social processes of technology adoption. Conventional capacity expansion models assume exogenous demand growth; however, literature …

Capacity expansion and capital investment decisions using the Economic Investment Time Model: a case oriented approach
Capacity planning is an area in which engineers can affect business performance. The size of the expansions and the timing in which they take place are the most important variables in capacity planning. The Economic Investment Time (EIT) Model is a tool that enables planners to accurately determine …

Managerial Knowledge, Expansion Trajectories, and Competitive Advantage Among Large Firms in the United States Paper Industry, 1973--1992
… the firm's top management team with the firm's capacity expansion path. Specifically, top management teams hiring managers from large firms, from large plants, and from slow-growth plants are likely to expand at above-average rates. Further, some evidence is found that a firm's capacity …

Fuel cells : manufacturing strategy for emerging technologies
… phases that lead to product introduction and capacity· expansion for the company to rapidly ramp up production if the product generates high demand. As further market information and customer input are obtained after product introduction, the different phases can be iterated to achieve low …

Increasing Railway Efficiency and Capacity Through Improved Operations, Control and Planning
… develop a new decision support framework to help capacity planners determine how to optimize the allocation of capital investment for capacity expansion projects. This framework has three stand-alone tools: (1) an ""Alternatives Generator"" that enumerates possible expansion options along with …
