Technical brief

Why large refinery planning models fail to solve, and what to do about it.

A short technical brief for planners and LP modelers. It covers the failure modes behind unreliable solves in large multi-period models, and the modeling and decomposition practices that address them.

What is inside

  1. 01Why multi-period models become ill-conditioned, and how to see it coming
  2. 02Zero flows, starting points, and other common causes of solver stalls
  3. 03Tracing an infeasibility back to the constraints that cause it
  4. 04When to decompose a model, and how to choose the boundaries
