Methods for multi-objective investment and operating optimization of complex energy systems
Fazlollahi, Samira; Mandel, Pierre; Becker, Gwenaelle; … - In: Energy 45 (2012) 1, pp. 12-22
The design and operations of energy systems are key issues for matching energy supply and consumption. Several optimization methods based on the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) have been developed for this purpose. However, due to uncertainty of some parameters like market conditions and...

Microgrid capability diagram: A tool for optimal grid-tied operation
Jayawardena, A.V.; Meegahapola, L.G.; Robinson, D.A.; … - In: Renewable Energy 74 (2015) C, pp. 497-504
The microgrid paradigm has gained much interest in the electricity industry due to the increased penetration of distributed resources. A grid-tied microgrid can be viewed as a single generating entity or a load depending on its power export and import at the grid supply point. Similar to...

An inexact robust nonlinear optimization method for energy systems planning under uncertainty
Chen, C.; Li, Y.P.; Huang, G.H.; Zhu, Y. - In: Renewable Energy 47 (2012) C, pp. 55-66
In this study, an interval-robust nonlinear optimization (IRNO) method is developed for planning energy system and managing CO2 emissions with trading scheme, through incorporating interval-parameter programming (IPP) within a robust optimization (RO) framework. In the modeling formulation, two...

Energy and financial balances of new installed energy systems
Pucker, N.; Schappacher, W. - In: Renewable Energy 9 (1996) 1, pp. 1094-1097
The costs of a photovoltaic energy system are studied. The system is supposed to be in a selfsustaining state: once established is it able to produce the energy necessary also for the substitution of expiring old plants. Here we investigate the financial situation of such a system.

Planning of community-scale renewable energy management systems in a mixed stochastic and fuzzy environment
Cai, Y.P.; Huang, G.H.; Tan, Q.; Yang, Z.F. - In: Renewable Energy 34 (2009) 7, pp. 1833-1847
In this study, an interval-parameter superiority–inferiority-based two-stage programming model has been developed for supporting community-scale renewable energy management (ISITSP-CREM). This method is based on an integration of the existing interval linear programming (ILP), two-stage...
