There are many uncertain factors, which are critical for the efficient operation of steam power systems (SPSs). Due to the modelling inaccuracy and the changing environment, it is challenging to directly formulate the model for SPS operation. In this paper, a method is proposed to alleviate the influence of small-scale fluctuation by discretizing the uncertainty working condition on the SPS. Moreover, the exergy analysis method is proposed to evaluate the quality of different energy and develop a mixedinteger nonlinear model of SPS considering the economic and exergy objectives. Finally, the ε-constraint method is used to obtain the Pareto front of the multi-objective optimization problem, and the fuzzy decision is used to determine the optimal strategy of the system. By introducing the multi-objective optimization of the SPS model with demand side uncertainty, a flexible scheduling scheme with good economic and exergy objectives is obtained. Comparing with the optimal scheduling without the demandside uncertainty, numerical results indicate the feasibility and effectiveness of the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
