An interval full-infinite mixed-integer programming method for planning municipal energy systems - A case study of Beijing
In this study, an interval full-infinite mixed-integer municipal-scale energy model (IFMI-MEM) is developed for planning energy systems of Beijing. IFMI-MEM is based on an integration of existing interval-parameter programming (IPP), mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and full-infinite programming (FIP) techniques. IFMI-MEM allows uncertainties expressed as determinates, crisp interval values and functional intervals to be incorporated within a general optimization framework. It can also facilitate capacity-expansion planning for energy-production facilities within a multi-period and multi-option context. Then, IFMI-MEM is applied to a real case study of energy systems planning in Beijing. The results indicate that reasonable solutions have been generated. They are helpful for supporting (a) adjustment of the existing demand and supply patterns of energy resources, (b) facilitation of dynamic analysis for decisions of capacity expansion and/or development planning, and (c) coordination of the conflict interactions among economic cost, system efficiency, pollutant mitigation and energy-supply security.
