油轮到达时间不确定条件下的原油调度优化

原油调度是炼油企业生产的第一个环节,它直接影响后续生产过程的稳定性和经济性.文中采用连续时间建模方法.建立了油轮到达时间不确定条件下的原油从到港、卸载、储存、调合到进料全过程的随机规划机会约束调度优化模型,模型的优化目标是最小化给定调度时界内的总操作费用.采用直方图法对油轮迟到时间进行回归,得到油轮迟到时间的概率密度函数和分布函数,并引入置信水平,将模型中的不确定性约束转化为确定性约束,使得油轮到达时间不确定条件下的随机规划机会约束模型转变为可以求解的确定性混合整数非线性规划模型.针对原油调度模型的特点,采用广义Benders分解算法将原模型分解为两个混合整数线性规划问题和一个非线性规划问题进行迭代求解.避免了直接求解混合整数非线性规划问题的复杂性.最后,将建立的模型和算法应用于背景企业的原油调度过程,结果表明模型和算法都有良好的实用性.

Optimizing Crude Oil Scheduling under the Uncertainty of Tank Ship Arrival Time

Crude oil scheduling is the first process of refining processes, and it has a critical impact on the downstream processes and the economic performance of the whole refinery complex. A stochastic chance constrained programming model, based on continuous time presentation, was presented to optimize crude oil scheduling under the uncertainty of tank ship arrival time. The objective of the proposed model is to minimize the total operating costs which involve crude unloading costs, sea waiting costs of tank ship...
