Large oil filled transformers are found in all power and switching stations, as well...

Tops and branches from tree-felling sites are reborn in the laboratory as compact pellets. However, the energy industry will not act until the price is right.         We have all seen it when we walk in the forest after the lumberjacks have been there. When the logging machinery moves on, what it usually...

Due to the way Li & Lim generated the test instances, the number of tasks in these instances are different and slightly higher than the nominal value. Here you find instance definitions and the best known solutions (to our knowledge) for the 1000 tasks instances of Li & Lim's PDPTW benchmark problems...
