Stochastic optimization of trigeneration systems for decision-making under long-term uncertainty in energy demands and prices (2019)
Journal Article
Onishi, V. C., Antunes, C. H., Fraga, E. S., & Cabezas, H. (2019). Stochastic optimization of trigeneration systems for decision-making under long-term uncertainty in energy demands and prices. Energy, 175, 781-797. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2019.0

Combined heating, cooling and power (CHCP) systems, so-called trigeneration, are widely accepted as more energy-efficient and environment-friendly alternatives to traditional separate energy generation. Nevertheless, the tasks of synthesis and optimi... Read More about Stochastic optimization of trigeneration systems for decision-making under long-term uncertainty in energy demands and prices.

Optimization of multistage membrane distillation system for treating shale gas produced water (2019)
Journal Article

Unconventional natural gas extraction from tight shale reservoirs, or “shale gas”, has recently emerged as an attractive energy resource to face the rising worldwide demand.

Optimal Shale Gas Water Management: A Perspective from the Cooperative Games Theory (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Caballero, J., Reyes-Labarta, J., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Salcedo-Díaz, R., & Onishi, V. (2018). Optimal Shale Gas Water Management: A Perspective from the Cooperative Games Theory. In 2018 AIChE Annual Meeting

Cooperation is gaining importance in different fields of process management due to highly complex network structures. Therefore, it is not sufficient to plan operations in terms of isolated decision making. While examining cooperation, many decision...
