Robust Smart Energy Efficient Production Planning for a general Job-Shop Manufacturing System under combined demand and supply uncertainty in the presence of grid-connected microgrid

This paper is the first to introduce the concept of Smart Energy-Efficient Production-Planning (SEEPP) for a general Job-Shop manufacturing system in the presence of Grid-connected Microgrid with wind power generation. To cope with the unpredictability of wind speed and the uncertainties of demands, a novel risk-based Robust Mixed Integer Linear Programming (RMILP) model is mathematically formulated. The last aim of the model is to minimize the total day-ahead cost of the system considering peak demand charge. The results show the capability of the proposed integrated framework to obtain a constructive trade-off between scenario-based cost deviations, and heat and power imbalances considering the attitude of Decision Makers (DMs) toward risk. The results further indicate that the proposed SEEPP concept is able to produce products with at least 1.95% less cost than conventional manufacturing systems, although it supports a much wider range of demands for products. The performance of the model is analyzed and evaluated in terms of accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
