A 0-1 integer linear programming approach to schedule outages of nuclear power plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of planning outages of nuclear power plants submitted by EDF (Électricité De France) as the challenge EURO/ROADEF 2010. As our team won the first prize of the contest in the senior category, our approach may be of interest: it is conceptually simple, easy to program and computationally relatively fast. We present both our method and some ideas to improve it.

Sensitivity analysis for the outages of nuclear power plants
Nuclear power plants must be regularly shut down in order to perform refueling and maintenance operations. The scheduling of the outages is the first problem to be solved in electricity production management. It is a hard combinatorial problem for which an exact solving is impossible. Our approach consists in modelling the problem by a two-level problem. First, we fix a feasible schedule of the...
متن کاملLocal Search for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization: A Methodology and an Application
A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is illustrated through the localsearch heuristic implemented for solving an energy management problem posed by the EDF company in the context of the ROADEF/EURO Challenge 2010, an international competition of applied optimization. ...
متن کاملStochastic Short-Term Hydro-Thermal Scheduling Based on Mixed Integer Programming with Volatile Wind Power Generation
This study addresses a stochastic structure for generation companies (GenCoʼs) that participate in hydro-thermal self-scheduling with a wind power plant on short-term scheduling for simultaneous reserve energy and energy market. In stochastic scheduling of HTSS with a wind power plant, in addition to various types of uncertainties such as energy price, spinning /non-spinning reserve prices, unc...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Multi Objective Programming Model for Power Generation and Transmission Expansion Planning Problem
The increasing consumption of electricity over time forces different countries to establishnew power plants and transmission lines. There are various crisp single-objective mathematicalmodels in the literature for the long-term power generation and transmission expansion planning tohelp the decision makers to make more reasonable decisions. But, in practice, most of the parametersassociated wit...
متن کاملCoordinated resource scheduling in a large scale virtual power plant considering demand response and energy storages
Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective approach to aggregate distributed generation resources under a central control. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming model for optimal scheduling of the internal resources of a large scale VPP in order to maximize its profit. The proposed model studies the effect of a demand response (DR) program on the scheduling of the VPP. The pro...
