In this paper, a pricing mechanism is proposed for the electricity supply chain, which is consisting of one generation company (GC), multiple consumers, and competing utility companies (UCs). The UC participates in electricity supply chain management by a revenue sharing contract (RSC). In the electricity supply chain, the electricity real-time balance has an important role in the stable operation of the power system. Therefore, we introduce the demand response into the electricity supply chain to match supply with demand under forecast errors. Hence, we formulate a noncooperative game to characterize the interactions among the multiple competing UCs, which set the retail prices to maximize their profits. Besides, the UCs select their preferred contractual terms offered by the GC to maximize its profits and coordinate the electricity supply chain simultaneously. The existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium (NE) are examined, and an iterative algorithm is developed to obtain the NE. Furthermore, we analyze the RSC that can coordinate the electricity supply chain and align the NE with the cooperative optimum under the RSC. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model and the influence of market demand disruptions on the profits of the UCs, GC, and supply chain.
In the double cold rolling process, the emulsion entering the roll gap during the double cold rolling process has the characteristics of high concentration and small flow rate so that the roll surface oil film thickness will affect roll gap oil film thickness, which in turn affects the rolling friction coefficient. This paper analyzes the formation mechanism and evolution process of the roll surface oil film thickness by considering the equipment and process characteristics of the emulsion direct injection application lubrication system. Then, based on the principle of fluid dynamics, the roll surface oil film thickness model in the double cold rolling process is established, and the prediction of the roll surface oil film thickness during the double cold rolling process is realized. Subsequently, the effects of five factors, such as rolling speed, work roll roughness, maximum contact stress between rolls, emulsion initial dynamic viscosity, and emulsion pressure viscosity coefficient, on the roll surface oil film thickness are quantitatively analyzed, and the corresponding influence laws are given. Finally, the relevant model and software that are applied to the 1220 double cold reduction mill have achieved good results.
