An Interperiod Network Storage Location–Allocation (INSLA) model for rail distribution of ethanol biofuels

INSLA addresses the storage location optimization for ethanol and biofuels. The model is similar to the MPLP ethanol model in that it is a dynamic optimization, but it is a mixed integer programming variant. The data requirements are similar to the MPLP ethanol model, but also include information on the locations of blending terminals as part of the storage optimization output.
