Site Selection Optimization for Thermal Power Plant Based on Rough Set and Multi-Objective Programming

Abstract:

The site selection optimization for thermal power plant will directly impact the economic operation and sustainable development. On the basis of constructing index system for site selection of thermal power plant, the method of rough set is applied to obtain the index weights, which are determined only by the system potential information. Through the method of expert decision-making, the quantitative and qualitative information is integrated, and the priority of the alternatives is obtained. The multi-objective model for site selection optimization is built up to balance the economical efficiency and the average comprehensive efficiency. In consideration of decision-makers predilection and heat load demand, the two goals of cost minimum and average comprehensive efficiency maximum are achieved at the same time. Case analysis indicates that the method for site selection optimization of thermal power plant proposed in this paper possesses some advantages, such as scientificity and practicability.
