A 0–1 integer linear programming approach to schedule outages of nuclear power plants

Journal of Scheduling Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We address the problem of planning outages of nuclear power plants submitted by EDF (Électricité De France) as the challenge EURO/ROADEF 2010. As our team won the first prize of the contest in the senior category, our approach may be of interest: it is conceptually simple, easy to program and computationally relatively fast. We present both our method and some ideas to improve it.
