Abstract

The network that ensures the delivery of electricity to end customers, and consists of actors such as transformer centers, distribution centers, distribution transformers and field distribution boxes is called electricity distribution network. Effective design of electricity distribution networks plays an important role in terms of ensuring the continuous supply of electricity and decreasing the costs of electricity distribution companies. Motivated by this fact, in this study, we focus on an electricity distribution network consisting of transformer centers, distribution centers, distribution transformers and field distribution boxes, and propose a two-stage stochastic programing model for the location, cable and flow decisions under demand uncertainty. The proposed model is tested on a real-life case study regarding Eskişehir, which on one hand shows the applicability of the proposed model on real-life instances, and on the other hand brings important managerial insights. As an example, computational results reveal that ignoring the uncertainties in the electricity distribution networks may bring substantial additional costs.

Özet

Elektrik enerjisinin son kullanıcılara ulaştırılmasını sağlayan ve trafo merkezleri, dağıtım merkezleri, dağıtım transformatörleri ve saha dağıtım kutuları gibi elemanlardan oluşan ağa elektrik dağıtım ağı adı verilmektedir. Elektrik dağıtım ağlarının etkin bir şekilde tasarlanması, elektrik enerjisi arzının kesintisiz devam etmesi ve elektrik dağıtım firmalarının maliyetlerinin azaltılması açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu motivasyonla, bu çalışmada, trafo merkezleri, dağıtım merkezleri, dağıtım transformatörleri ve saha dağıtım kutularından oluşan bir elektrik dağıtım ağına odaklanılmış, talep belirsizliği altında lokasyon, kablo ve akış kararları için iki aşamalı bir stokastik programlama modeli öne sürülmüştür. Öne sürülen model Eskişehir iline yönelik bir gerçek hayat uygulaması üzerinde test edilmiş, bir yandan modelin gerçek hayat problemlerinde uygulanabilirliği kanıtlanırken, bir yandan da önemli yönetimsel çıkarımlar elde edilmiştir. Örnek olarak, sayısal sonuçlar, elektrik dağıtım ağlarında belirsizliği göz ardı etmenin ciddi ek maliyetleri beraberinde getirebileceğini göstermiştir.
