A quantitative approach to asset allocation and trading
(Master thesis, 2012)This thesis evaluates and verifies technical trading strategies and risk management tools on the behalf of Holden Capital AS. The strategies are quantitatively formulated by constructing a complete base trading model. The ... -
A ranking method for prioritising retail store food waste based on monetary and environmental impacts
(Journal article, 2018)Food waste has become a major concern globally, leading to high economic, environmental and social awareness, as well as inclusion in international policy documents. In the developed world, the retail stage has the greatest ... -
A real options approach to generation capacity expansion in imperfectly competitive power markets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper proposes a real options approach to generation capacity expansion in imperfectly competitive power markets. Our framework incorporates firms with different levels of market power; heterogeneous technologies, ... -
A Review of Repurposing Lithium-ion Batteries for Household Applications
(Chapter, 2023)As global sales of electric vehicles are rising rapidly; vast amounts of end-of-life batteries are expected to need treatment in foreseeable future. Using second life batteries in lower demanding applications, could prolong ... -
A robust cost estimation framework in construction projects by considering cost development
(Master thesis, 2013)In construction projects avoiding cost overruns depends on a decent estimation of cost for the projects in their initial phase. However due to limited project information in the early phases of projects the degree of ... -
A Shortest Path Heuristic for Evaluating the Quality of Stowage Plans in Roll-On Roll-Off Liner Shipping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Roll-on Roll-off shipping companies transport rolling cargo, such as cars, trucks and large construction machines. When sailing, this type of cargo must be attached to the deck using chains, to prevent damaging the cargo. ... -
A shortest-path-based approach for the stochastic knapsack problem with non-decreasing expected overfilling costs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The knapsack problem (KP) is concerned with the selection of a subset of multiple items with known positive values and weights such that the total value of selected items is maximized and their total weight does not exceed ... -
A simulated annealing algorithm for routing problems with fuzzy constrains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper puts forward a location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (LRPFD). A fuzzy chance constrained programming (CCP) model is presented and a simulation-embedded simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed to ... -
A spot-forward model for electricity prices with regime shifts
(Journal article, 2014)We propose a novel regime-switching approach for electricity prices in which simulated and forecasted prices are consistent with currently observed forward prices. Additionally, the model is able to reproduce spikes and ... -
A Spreadsheet Model for Offshore Logistics Planning With Dynamic and Activity-Based Demands
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Petroleumsindustrien står ovenfor flere avgjørende valg i møte med en mer bærekraftig verden. Ved produksjon av flere ikke-fornybare produkter, er industrien avhengig av å gjøre tiltak innenfor de ulike sektorene i næringen ... -
A standardized process assessing off-grid PV-system investments in developing countries - Multi-horizon stochastic programming for valuing projects with high uncertainty
(Master thesis, 2017)This thesis is written in cooperation with SunTap, as a step towards their goal of becoming an important actor in the market for electrification of Uganda using solar technology. More than 80\% of the population in Uganda ... -
A Stochastic Capacity Expansion Model for the European Power System - Using a Distributed Progressive Hedging Approach to Handle Long-Term Uncertainty
(Master thesis, 2018)In an attempt to limit the adverse effects of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions, the EU has set ambitious targets to reduce its domestic CO2-emissions by more than 80 percent from 1990 to 2050. The European power ... -
A Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach to the Bidding Problem in the Intraday Electricity Market
(Master thesis, 2018)The purpose of this thesis is to provide flexible market participants decision support in Elbas, in such a manner that they can take advantage of energy surpluses or deficits in the market after the spot clearing. A ... -
A Stochastic Programming Approach to Daily Surgery Scheduling Under Uncertainty at a Norwegian Hospital
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis proposes two mathematical stochastic optimisation models handling two different aspects of uncertainty in the daily problem of deciding start times for a set of surgeries in a single operating room. The uncertainty ... -
A Stochastic Programming Approach to Optimal Operation of Low-Temperature District Heating
(Master thesis, 2020)Den økende energietterspørselen i verden sammen med økende utfordringer knyttet til klimaendringer har ført til en omstilling av dagens energisystemer mot fornybar energi og smarte energisystemer. I dag blir en stor andel ... -
A Strategic Tool for Competence Building within the Health Sector: With the Use of Nurse Rerostering
(Master thesis, 2012)Implementing a model of competence building in the XpressMP and building a case based on a simplified version of a hospital gave room for computational studies. A lower amount of nurse rotation lead to lower cost of external ... -
A Study of Effectual Behavior Among Student Entrepreneurs - How do student entrepreneurs in a Venture Creation Program behave in a situation of uncertainty?
(Master thesis, 2018)Deciding to start a new venture is undoubtedly a risky decision. In fact, around 90 per cent of all startups fail. This high failure rate is explained by the fact that entrepreneurs launching a new venture find themselves ... -
A study of experience feedback from reported unwanted occurrences in a construction company
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)An interview study in a major Norwegian construction company was conducted to analyse learning from reports of unwanted occurrences (RUO). Systems for reporting unwanted occurrences are on of the most important tools in ... -
A Study of Internet Search Volume's Contribution to Day-Ahead Volatility Forecasts
