A Goal Programming Model for Solving Renewable Energy Planning Problem Generated from Palm Oil Waste

Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that energy plays central role to achieving goals of modern society. Many developing countries face population growth that far exceeds planned rates of grid connection, so that many will either remain without energy, or be forced to migrate to urban areas where the infrastructure is already over burdened. However, nowadays the world is plaque with global warming problem due to the energy inefficiencies. This paper describes a plan about how to get renewable energy from the processed whole waste of oil palm. As there are three objectives should be fulfilled, we model the plan using multi-objective programs. The result shows that it is possible to get optimal energy while minimizing the waste created from oil palm.
