Plenary Lectures


“Pyomo: expressing mathematical programs and developing optimization solutions in Python” (Videoconference)


Dr. John D. Siirola

Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA


Abstract:

Computational tools for modeling mathematical programs are in wide-spread use within both academia and industry.  While available commercial and open-source software packages provide strong capabilities for model genericity by separating modeling constructs from instance data through concepts like sets, parameters, and parameterized constraints, the final model representations are generally limited to constructs that directly correspond to established solver inputs.  Similarly, while these environments frequently support an ability to script the model and solution process, these scripted processes are typically ad hoc and specific to the model in question.

In contrast, the open source optimization modeling environment Pyomo focuses on extensibility and the development of generic optimization algorithms and solution approaches.  In this presentation, I will introduce some of the advanced modeling capabilities in Pyomo, including structured block-oriented models, Generalized Disjunctive Programming, and Stochastic Programming.  I will show how Pyomo can map these modeling constructs into algebraic forms that are compatible with standard optimization solvers using user-configurable automated model transformations.  I will also show how Pyomo’s object model supports developing custom solution workflows, from simple preprocessors like applying basic steps to disjunctive models, to complex decomposition algorithms like Progressive Hedging and Benders Decomposition.

Throughout this talk I will draw examples from Sandia’s multi-year effort developing scalable solutions to optimization problems arising from power grid planning and operations.  In particular, I will highlight solutions to stochastic unit commitment, incorporating transmission switching into N-1 reliability analysis, and stochastic grid expansion planning models.


Biographical sketch:

Dr. John D. Siirola is a Principal R&D Member of Technical Staff in the Optimization and Discrete Math Department within the Center for Computing Research at Sandia National Laboratories.  His main areas of expertise are systems design, operations research, optimization modeling, and optimization algorithms.  John’s research focuses on the intersection of computational tools with systems design and analysis; in particular, developing approaches for modeling highly structured systems, optimization algorithms that can exploit the expressed structure, and the application of these techniques to national security problems.

Much of John’s research is disseminated through open-source software projects.  He leads the Acro project (optimization algorithms) and co-leads the Pyomo project (optimization modeling).  He is a contributor to the Water Security Toolkit (modeling and analysis tools for drinking water distribution systems) and Dakota (optimization and uncertainty quantification), and contributes to numerous tools, including Utilib, PyUtilib, gcovr, and cxxtest.

John has a B.S. from Purdue University (2000) and Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University (2005), both in Chemical Engineering.  He is a senior member of the AIChE, member of INFORMS, and member of the COIN-OR Foundation.  John currently serves on the COIN-OR Technical Leadership Council and recently co-chaired the 2014 Foundations of Computer Aided Process Design (FOCAPD) conference.

“Desafíos de la Producción de Gas No Convencional en Vaca Muerta”


Dr. Diego Cafaro

INTEC, UNL-CONICET, Santa Fe, Argentina


Resumen:

Los recursos de petróleo y gas no convencional (shale) han revolucionado la política energética de los EE.UU. en los últimos años, y podrían jugar un rol preponderante en la Argentina en un futuro no muy lejano. La formación Vaca Muerta, segunda en el mundo en recursos de gas no convencional, ha abierto un panorama alentador para nuestro país en procura del autoabastecimiento energético. No obstante, la explotación de estos recursos plantea enormes desafíos, no sólo desde la perspectiva económica sino también medioambiental. La presentación busca introducir la problemática del diseño y planificación estratégica de la cadena de suministros de gas no convencional, para luego describir las bases de un modelo matemático que permite optimizar en forma simultánea el conjunto de decisiones de largo plazo involucradas. El objetivo es planificar adecuadamente la perforación y estimulación de nuevos pozos, y dimensionar la infraestructura de transporte y procesamiento del gas, bajo la premisa de viabilizar el desarrollo de los proyectos, minimizando los impactos sobre el medioambiente.

Breve biografía del expositor:

Diego Cafaro es Investigador Adjunto del CONICET en el INTEC (Instituto de doble dependencia UNL-CONICET) y Profesor Adjunto de la Facultad de Ingeniería Química de la UNL. Sus trabajos científicos más destacados han contribuido a la planificación óptima del transporte de crudos y combustibles refinados a través de tuberías. En el año 2013 inició una nueva línea de trabajo vinculada al planeamiento sustentable de la producción de gas y petróleo no convencional (shale), desarrollando una estancia de investigación posdoctoral en el Dpto. de Ingeniería Química de la Universidad Carnegie Mellon (Pittsburgh, EE.UU.), financiada por la Comisión Fulbright y el CONICET.
