Collecting all solutions with the MIP solution pool


Type: Power generation
Rating: 3 (intermediate)
Description: We take the power generation problem stored in hpw15.mat which seeks to optimise the operating pattern of a group of electricity generators. We solve the problem collecting all solutions found during the MIP search. The optimal solution's objective and solution values are printed to screen.
