DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIML OPERATIONAL PLANNING SYSTEMUSING AN OBJECT-ORIENTED FRAMEWORK FOR ENERGY SUPPLY PLANTS

摘要

An optimal operational planning system with a userfriendlyrninterface using an object-oriented framework isrndeveloped for the purpose of determining operationalrnstrategies of energy supply plants in a simple and rationalrnmanner on personal computers. The system has thernfollowing main functions: (a) data registration, (b) plantrnmodel graphical editing, ? automatic programming andrnoptimization calculation, and (d) graphical representationrnof results.rnA plant model graphical editor enables an easy andrnflexible composition or change of plant configurations andrntheir relevant data by using fundamental data registered inrna database. Plant data composed by the editor are arrangedrnautomatically to carry out an optimization calculation, inrnwhich the operational strategy is determined so as tornminimize an objective function, such as operational costrnsubject to energy demand requirements and otherrnoperational restraints.
