78 CONCLUSIONS Problems can be modeled as large scale MILPs / non-convex MINLP flexibility in representing general topologies complex logical decisions and operating rules can be modeled representation of realistic financial objectives Modeling Issues time representation blending/pooling transitions The LP based Branch and Bound Method is satisfactory to generate good feasible solutions no guarantee of global optimum solutions for all instances The OA/ER/AP Method is efficient to circumvent the non-convexity problem is satisfactory to generate feasible solutions has computational performance similar to MILP model

79 CHALLENGES Main theoretical difficulties Complex problems with high combinatorial features; NP-Complete Problems Exponential computational times Main practical difficulties The understanding of the problem itself can constitute the major difficulty Multiple systems and interfaces The cooperation between the modeler and the practitioner is essential and remains as a major challenge Continuous update necessary due to the dynamic nature of problems.
