Strategic Energy Resource Investment Optimization for the US Army (Serious - A). Appendix D

摘要

The main analytical tool in the SERIOUS-A project for determining investment strategies for providing electrical power to critical mission facilities at an installation by distributed generation (DG) is integer linear programming (IP). The solutions of the IP formulations determine, for each facility, what type of generator to use and when in the investment planning period to purchase the generator. The objective functions in the IP formulations include cost and security value. In this Appendix to the SERIOUS-A report, the definition of security value is developed further to include (1) information about how individual facilities support the installation s mission and (2) properties of types of electrical generator such as reliability and emissions data. The revised methodology is applied to one installation, Ft. Riley.
