“…The utility plant is able to produce electricity independently of the generation of steam by using wind turbines. The wind farm is modeled similarly to that in Pérez-Uresti et al The power produced over time by the wind farm ( P wind t ) is calculated by eq , where v t is the wind velocity in period t , P nom = 1500, a = 8.08 m/s, mp = 0.78 s/m, and N turb t is the number of wind turbines used over time.…”

“…The weekly variations of solar radiation and wind velocity are shown in Figure S1a,b of the Supporting Information. Additionally, the biomass potential was determined similarly to that in Pérez-Uresti et al Figure S1c,d of the Supporting Information shows the monthly and weekly profiles for the electricity demand in the Istmo de Tehuantepec over the year. They were calculated by correlating the historical data of electricity consumption in the oriental region of Mexico with the annual consumption of the city .…”

The search for the design of sustainable systems for the production of chemicals and utilities based on renewable sources has been recently considered with special interest. In this work, a methodology for the design of flexible renewable-based utility plants is presented. The methodology is based on the formulation of a multiperiod mixed-integer linear model. The model uses a superstructure that includes different technologies to process biomass, solar radiation, waste, and wind and takes into account variations of renewable resources and utility demands over time. One of the main objectives of this work is to analyze how time discretization affects the design, for which the differences and implications of design under three time-horizon levels are considered. A case study for a city located in the southwest region of Mexico is taken to show the implications of optimal structure designs under annual, monthly, and weekly details of demand levels. It is shown how a yearly or monthly based optimal structure needs to be further adjusted to meet the demands given by a more detailed set of demand data related to weekly needs.

“…The model considered the integration of wind, solar radiation, biomass, and waste to produce steam and electricity, and was used to study the effect of time discretization on the optimal design. The flexibility of the model has already been tested in several case studies including the design of utility plants located in Scotland (Pérez-Uresti et al, 2019a), andSpain (Perez Uresti, 2020). The model has also been used to estimate the production cost of renewable-based steam at different pressures levels (Pérez-Uresti et al, 2019b).…”

Design of Sustainable Renewable-Based Utility Plants in the Face of Uncertainty

This work presents the formulation of a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model to include uncertainty in the design of renewable-based utility plants. The model is based on a superstructure that integrates technologies to process biomass, waste, solar radiation, and wind and considers uncertainty in availability of the renewable resources and on the utility demands. The uncertain parameter space is calculated based on a monthly probability density function for each uncertain parameter and discretized into different levels. It is shown that as uncertainty is considered in the model formulation, design flexibility improves with respect to the deterministic-based designs, although the flexibility is achieved at the expense of higher underused facilities and therefore unused investment cost.
