Constrained Production Schedule Optimization of Output-Normalized Expenditures under Uncertainty in Shift Duration and Energy Price Forecasts

چکیده
Variability in day-ahead energy prices offers the potential for reductions in energy expenditures through flexible load planning in which production is shifted to periods of low predicted energy prices. In this paper we present a means of optimizing a production run for the following day and week given basic constraints on the start and end times of production shifts as well as the total production within a specified time frame (planning horizon). The general problem is a difficult, non-convex optimization problem over stochastic variables that can only be solved in its original form by global optimization and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. However, reasonable approximations to the original problems render it more tractable. By linearizing the energy price forecasts and the plant consumption profile, as well as discretizing the stochastic variables involved, we can reduce the planning problem to a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) problem, with the customary linear bounds.

Optimal production strategy of bimetallic deposits under technical and economic uncertainties using stochastic chance-constrained programming
In order to catch up with reality, all the macro-decisions related to long-term mining production planning must be made simultaneously and under uncertain conditions of determinant parameters. By taking advantage of the chance-constrained programming, this paper presents a stochastic model to create an optimal strategy for producing bimetallic deposit open-pit mines under certain and uncertain ...

Water shortage crisis is an issue that has led to drastic changes in different agricultural policies, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. Uncertainty in the amount of resources, e.g. water, used for agricultural production entails risk for farmers' income and cropping pattern changes. In the present study, the robust optimization model was used for optimal allocation of arable lands of Khor...

A chance-constraint multi-objective model under uncertainty in the availability of subassemblies is proposed for scheduling in ATO systems. The on-time delivery of customer orders as well as reducing the company's cost is crucial; therefore, a three-objective model is proposed including the minimization of1) overtime, idletime, change-over, and setup costs, 2) total dispersion of items’ deliver...

Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...

Open-Pit Production Scheduling (OPPS) problem focuses on determining a block sequencing and scheduling to maximize Net Present Value (NPV) of the venture under constraints. The scheduling model is critically sensitive to the economic value volatility of block, block weight, and operational capacity. In order to deal with the OPPS uncertainties, various approaches can be recommended. Robust opti...
