Empowering Energy Optimization with Precision and Reliability
Optimize your energy operations with precision and reliability. AMPL’s advanced modeling capabilities help you streamline production, distribution, and energy resource management for a more efficient and sustainable future.
Solve large-scale energy optimization problems, from production scheduling to grid management, with ease and flexibility.
AMPL helps you quickly adapt to changing demands and conditions, ensuring your energy systems stay optimized in real time.
Seamlessly model renewable energy resources, optimizing energy mix and grid balancing for a sustainable future.
Backed by decades of use in the energy sector, AMPL provides the stability needed for long-term operational success.
Optimize energy generation schedules, allocate resources effectively, and reduce operational costs for power plants and energy grids.
Model and optimize the integration of renewable sources like wind and solar, ensuring efficient energy production and grid stability.
Leverage AMPL to forecast and respond to fluctuating energy demand, ensuring supply meets demand in real-time.
ampl model example: Unit Commitment in the Energy Industry
# Sets
set GENERATORS; # Set of power generators
set TIME; # Set of time periods
# Parameters
param demand{TIME}; # Electricity demand at each time period
param cost{GENERATORS}; # Cost of operating each generator per unit of power
param max_gen{GENERATORS}; # Maximum generation capacity of each generator
param min_gen{GENERATORS}; # Minimum generation level for each generator
param startup_cost{GENERATORS};# Cost of starting up each generator
# Variables
var gen{GENERATORS, TIME} >= 0, <= max_gen; # Power generated by each generator in each time period
var on{GENERATORS, TIME}, binary; # Whether a generator is on (1) or off (0) at each time period
var startup{GENERATORS, TIME}, binary; # Whether a generator is started up at each time period
# Objective: Minimize the total cost (generation + startup)
minimize total_cost:
sum {g in GENERATORS, t in TIME}
(cost[g] * gen[g, t] + startup_cost[g] * startup[g, t]);
# Constraints
# Ensure demand is met at each time period
subject to meet_demand {t in TIME}:
sum {g in GENERATORS} gen[g, t] >= demand[t];
# Limit generation to on/off status
subject to generation_limits {g in GENERATORS, t in TIME}:
gen[g, t] <= max_gen[g] * on[g, t];
# Ensure minimum generation level if the generator is on
subject to min_generation {g in GENERATORS, t in TIME}:
gen[g, t] >= min_gen[g] * on[g, t];
# Startup constraint: A generator can only start if it was off the previous period
subject to startup_logic {g in GENERATORS, t in TIME: t > 1}:
startup[g, t] >= on[g, t] – on[g, t-1];
