a hybrid mathematical programming-fuzzy expert systems approach for improving combined cycle power plants’ operations

چکیده
by developing the level of life in societies, the need for new resources of energy becomes more important. in almost all cases, the aim is to convert one form of energy to the electrical form. with advances of technology and use of new electric and electronic devices and gadgets, the need for electrical energy is increasing and providing stable and continuous electric power becomes very important and urgent. the most common place to convert other forms of energy to electric energy is power plant. to maintain the stability and continuity of delivering the electric energy to costumers, the operation and control of the plant is great important. advances in power plants’ technology have resulted in more reliance on human (i.e. expert-based) decision making. in this way, a mathematical programming-based decision support system could provide a suitable support for human decision making in optimizing power plant operations. in this study, a new approach is presented for optimizing the load distribution among units in a combined cycle (gas and steam turbine) power plant. in the normal operations status, two parameters, i.e. the efficiency and risk are the most important factors for load distribution. power is demanded by the control center (national electric grid control) and this needed power is often equally distributed by the control center, power market and operators between units. however, this distribution scheme is not economic in terms of efficiency and risk. in the suggested method, online data from units after fuzzification are fed into a fuzzy expert system and according to the unit conditions, two defuzzified scales, i.e. the efficiency scale and risk scale, are calculated for each unit. these scales are then used as coefficients in the proposed bi-objective mathematical programming model by which the best possible load distribution scheme is obtained according to the demanded power and the efficiency and risk of current units which is then displayed to the operator to set in the load control system. finally, the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by a real case study.

Fuzzy Optimization of Start-Up Operations for Combined Cycle Power Plants
In this paper we present a study on the application of fuzzy sets for the start-up optimisation of a combined cycle power plant. We fuzzyfy the output process variables and then we properly combine the resulting fuzzy sets in order to get a single value in the lattice [0,1] providing the effectiveness (zero bad, one excellent) of the given start-up regulations. We tested the methodology on a la...

A fuzzy goal programming-based approach is used to solve a proposed multi-objective linear programming model and simultaneously handle two important problems in cellular manufacturing systems, viz. cell formation and layout design. Considerations of intra-cell layout, the intra-cell material handling can be calculated exactly. The advantages of the proposed model are considering machining cos...
متن کاملEnvironmental-economic evaluation of sugar cane bagasse gasification power plants versus combined-cycle gas power plants
Approximately 2.4 million tons of bagasse are produced each year in Iran, most of which are currently treated as waste adding to serious environmental concerns. Application of bagasse for energy production is a sustainable solution to supply the required energy within the sugar refineries and export the surplus electricity to the grid. Currently, the energy demand in Iranian sugar mills is main...
متن کاملA goal programming approach for fuzzy flexible linear programming problems
We are concerned with solving Fuzzy Flexible Linear Programming (FFLP) problems. Even though, this model is very practical and is useful for many applications, but there are only a few methods for its situation. In most approaches proposed in the literature, the solution process needs at least, two phases where each phase needs to solve a linear programming problem. Here, we propose a method t...
متن کاملThermodynamics of combined-cycle electric power plants
Published data imply an average thermal efficiency of about 0.34 for U.S. electricity generating plants. With clever use of thermodynamics and technology, modern gas and steam turbines can be coupled, to effect dramatic efficiency increases. These combined-cycle power plants now reach thermal efficiencies in excess of 0.60. It is shown how the laws of thermodynamics make this possible. VC 2012 ...
