Mathematical model of managing of the generating company on the criterion of the profit maximization

Abstract

The urgency of the work is conditioned by the electric power industry reforming, which implies a gradual transition to a competitive market model. So each producer will be interested in maximizing his own profit and independently determine the volumes of electric and heat energy production. On the basis of the developed criterion of maximizing profits, the following problems are considered in the article: The most advantageous distribution of electric energy of thermal power plants at given values of the rate for electricity; distribution of thermal energy between the plant's units, taking into account the forced heating mode of operation of the stations; finding the optimal modes of operation of the stations for the combined method of producing electric and thermal energy; appointment of the most favorable operating modes of the generating company; substantiation of tariff rates for the products sold, depending on the optimal production volumes at thermal power plants that are part of the generating company, determining the optimal operating conditions of SIBEKO JSC (Novosibirsk, Russia). The results: methodology of optimization of CHPP for electric and heat energy has been developed in the work. And also a new criterion has been proposed for maximizing profits for managing the functioning of a generating company.
