24 Carnegie Mellon Time-sensitive pricing motivates the active management of electricity demand demand side management (DSM) Price [$/MWh] Hourly electricity prices in 2013 Source: PJM Interconnection LLC Time [h] Electricity prices change on an hourly basis (more frequently in the real-time market) Challenge, but also opportunity for electricity consumers Chemical plants are large electricity consumers high potential cost savings 24

25 Carnegie Mellon Strategic planning models have to incorporate long-term and short-term decisions for demand side management Industrial Case Study: Mitra, Grossmann, Pinto, Arora (2014) Uncertain demand Air separation plant Air feed GO2 GN2 On-site customers Electricity LO2 LN2 LAr Storage Off-site customers Given: Power-intensive plant Product demands for each season Seasonal electricity prices on an hourly basis Upgrade options for existing equipment New equipment options Additional storage tanks Determine: Production / inventory levels Mode of operation Product purchases Upgrades for equipment Purchase of new equipment Purchase of new tanks for each season on an hourly basis 25

26 The operational model is based on a surrogate representation in the product space 1 Carnegie Mellon Disjunction of feasible regions, reformulated with convex hull: Feasible region: projection in product space Modes: different ways of operating a plant Mass balances: differences for products with and without inventory Inventory balance Demand satisfaction Energy consumption: requires correlation with production levels for each mode + Inventory and transition cost 1. Zhang et al. (2016). Optimization & Engineering, 17,

27 Carnegie Mellon Transient plant behavior is captured with logic constraints 1,2 Minimum uptime: 48 hours Off Minimum downtime: 24 hours Ramp up transition After 6 hrs Production mode Link between state and transitional variables State diagram for transitions: nodes: states (modes) = different ways of operating a plant arcs = allowed transitions (including constraints, e.g. min. up-/downtime) / / Enforce minimum stay in a mode Coupling between transitions Forbidden transitions 1.

34 Approaches to Planning and Scheduling Carnegie Mellon Decomposition Sequential Hierarchical Approach Simultaneous Planning and Scheduling Detailed scheduling over the entire horizon Planning months, years Planning Scheduling days, weeks Challenges: Challenges: Scheduling Different models / different time scales Mismatches between the levels Very Large Scale Problem Solution times quickly intractable Goal: Planning model that integrates major aspects of scheduling 34

35 Approaches to Integrating Scheduling at Planning Level Carnegie Mellon Extensive review: Maravelias, Sung (2009) - Relaxation/Aggregation of detailed scheduling model Erdirik, Wassick, Grossmann (2006, 2007, 2008) Single stage multiproduct batch/continuous with sequence dependent changeovers - Projection of scheduling model onto Planning level decisions Sung, Maravelias (2007, 2009) General MILP STN model for multiproduct batch scheduling - Iterative decomposition of Planning and Scheduling Models - Bilevel decomposition - Lagrangean decomposition 35

36 MILP Planning Models Multiple Stage Batch/Continuous Carnegie Mellon Erdirik, Grossmann (2006) I Relaxation/Aggregation of detailed scheduling model Scheduling model Continuous time domain representation Based on time slots Sequence dependent change-over times handled rigorously Incorporates mass balances and intermediate storage II. Replace the detailed timing constraints by: Model A. (Relaxed Planning Model) Constraints that underestimate the sequence dependent changeover times Weak upper bounds (Optimistic Profit) Model B. (Detailed Planning Model) Sequencing constraints for accounting for transitions rigorously (Traveling salesman constraints) Tight upper bounds (Realistic estimate Profit) 36

37 Proposed Model B (Detailed Planning) Carnegie Mellon Sequence dependent changeovers: Sequence dependent changeovers within each time period: 1. Generate a cyclic schedule where total transition time is minimized. KEY VARIABLE: ZP ' ii mt :becomes 1 if product i is after product i on unit m at time period t, zero otherwise P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 P1 ZP P1, P2, M, T = 1 P5 P4 P2 KEY VARIABLE: ii mt P4 P3 ZP P2, P3, M, T = 1 2. Break the cycle at the pair with the maximum transition time to obtain the sequence. ZZP ' :becomes 1 if the link between products i and i is to be broken, zero otherwise P1 P4 P2 P4? ZZP P4, P3, M, T P3 37

38 Changeovers within each period Carnegie Mellon According to the location of the link to be broken: P1 P2, P3, P4, P5, P1 ZZP P1, P2, M, T = 1 P4 P2 P3, P4, P5, P1, P2 ZZP P2, P3, M, T = 1 P4, P5, P1, P2, P3 ZZP P3, P4, M, T = 1 The sequence with the minimum total transition time is the optimal sequence within time period t. P5, P1, P2, P3, P4 ZZP P4, P5, M, T = 1 P4 P3 P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 ZZP P5, P1, M, T = 1 YP ZP i, m, t imt i' ii' mt YPimt ' ZPiimt ' i ', m, t i [ ] YP imt YP ' ',, i i i mt ZPiimt i m t Generate the cycle and break the cycle to find the optimum sequence where transition times are minimized.

40 Multiperiod Refinery Planning Problem Fractionation index model for CDU Given: refinery configuration Alattas, Palou, Grossmann (2012) Carnegie Mellon Time horizon with N time periods Inventories and changeovers of M crudes Determine What crude oil to process and in which time period? The quantities of these crude oils to process? The sequence of processing the crudes? 40

41 Multiperiod MINLP Model Carnegie Mellon Max Profit= Product sales minus the costs of product inventory, crude oil, unit operation and net transition times. s.t. Performance CDU (FI Model) each crude, each time period Mass balances, inventories each crude, each time period Sequencing constraints (Traveling Salesman, Erdirik, Grossmann (2008)) 0-1 variables to assign crude in period t 0-1 variables to indicate position of crude in sequence 0-1 variables to indicate where cycle is broken Continuous variables flows, inventories, cut temperatures 41

44 Bilevel Decomposition Algorithm Carnegie Mellon Includes TSP constraints Integer cuts are added to ULP to generate new schedules and avoid infeasible ones to be passed to the LLS problem 44

45 Lagrangean Decomposition Carnegie Mellon ULP problem can become expensive to solve for large industrial cases Temporal Lagrangean Decomposition (TLD) can be applied to ULP problem: each time period becomes a subproblem : Inventory levels, assignments (changeovers across periods) 45

46 Hybrid BD-LD Decomposition Carnegie Mellon Multipliers are updated using the Subgradient Method Lagrangean subproblems are solved in parallel using GAMS grid computing capabilities * Maximum 30 LD iterations allowed * http: //interfaces.gams-software.com/doku.php?id=the_gams_grid_computing_facility 46
