Table of contents

Contents

The course will present the basic concepts of optimization under uncertainty (Stochastic Optimization, Robust optimization and Risk models) on simple logistics planning problems and their application to actual problems in the oil, gas and renewable energy logistics systems. Examples of these models are the oil & gas strategic planning problem, the biodiesel supply chain optimization, hydrogen fuel supply chain or the refinery production planning problem.

Topics covered: Stochastic Optimization; Robust Optimization; Mathematical Programming Modeling; Oil & Gas Supply Chain; Renewable Energy Logistics; Network Design

The course is connected to the following study programs

Recommended knowledge
