| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Concerns over increasing energy price, exacerbating power shortage and changing climatic conditions are emerging associated with municipal energy management systems. Most of the previous studies could hardly address multiple uncertainties that exist in such systems; this may lead to incomplete, simplified or even false solutions, and could jeopardize the robustness of management decisions. This study is to develop a dynamic inexact stochastic energy systems planning model (DITS-MEM) for managing municipal energy systems and greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions under uncertainty. Through integrating mixed-integer, interval-parameter and two-stage stochastic programming techniques, DITS-MEM can handle not only the uncertainties expressed as interval values and probabilistic distributions associated with GHG-emission reduction targets, but also the dynamics of capacity-expansion issues. The developed model is then applied to the Beijing Municipality. The results suggest that the DITS-MEM model is applicable in reflecting complexities of multi-uncertainty, dynamic and interactive municipal energy management systems, and capable of addressing two-stage stochastic problem of GHG-emission reduction. The obtained solutions can provide decision bases for formulating GHG-reduction policies and assessing the associated economic implications in purchasing emission credits or bearing economic penalties. |
