A stock border compensation technique for gaseous energy scheduling in steel enterprises under uncertainty

Abstract

This study proposes a stock boundary compensation method to address the uncertainty of gaseous energy in integrated steel plants. The uncertainty disrupts the balance of temporary storage, resulting in energy waste, environmental pollution, and disturbances in steel production. The method accurately compensates for the impact of gaseous energy uncertainty on storage. Firstly, this paper takes oxygen and byproduct gas systems as the examples to describe the gas energy system and its scheduling model. The storage deviation caused by gaseous energy uncertainty is quantitatively analyzed using formulas. Subsequently, this study formulates an optimization problem to determine the optimal margin for compensating the storage boundary using a data-driven approach. Comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed method not only significantly enhances the safety of gaseous energy storage subject to uncertainty, but also outperforms traditional robust optimization and stock fluctuation optimization methods in terms of system robustness against uncertainty and operating cost optimality.
