A method of meeting a power demand of a power consumption unit is disclosed. A forecasted power demand for a power demand scenario for the power consumption unit is determined and a probability of occurrence of the power demand scenario is determined. An objective function for operating at least one power supply device is created that includes the forecasted power demand of the power demand scenario and the determined probability of occurrence of the power demand scenario. A substantial minimum of the objective function is located to determine a schedule for operating the at least one power supply device to meet the forecasted power demand. The at least one power supply device may be operated according to the determined schedule to meet the power demand of the power consumption unit.

A system and method which support determination of a design process order. The system includes: a storage device that stores constraint data indicating a strength of a constraint that is given to a respective design process from a respective of the other design processes; a detection unit that accesses the storage device to detect, from the constraint data, a loop of relationships concerning a design process receiving a constraint from another design process; a selection unit that accesses the storage device to select, from the detected loop, a pair capable of canceling the loop when the pair is deleted and having a minimum total constraint strength; and an output unit that deletes the selected constraint pair from the constraint data and outputs data indicating a constraint that is to be satisfied by each design process.

The method includes the steps of: generating sequentially, by way of a Markov decision process based on a Monte Carlo method, a series of data having states on a memory of a computer; computing a risk measure of a present data by tracking generated data from opposite order to generation order, where the risk measure is calculated from a value at risk or an exceedance probability that is derived from risk measures of a plurality of states transitionable from a state of the present data; and executing the step of computing the risk measure while tracking back to starting data, where at least one of the steps is carried out using a computer device.
摘要:
Apparatus and method use a Markov decision process (MDP) to reduce the cost of variations in electric power usage. The user notifies a power company of a predicted value for a period. The period is divided into subsections. For each subsection, on the basis of a MDP including a state that depends on an electric power usage amount error, charge amount, and set target, the amount of charging and discharging of a storage battery as an action at any given time is optimally decided depending on the electric power usage amount error, charge amount, time, and set target at that time. A predetermined time in a subsection is a target setting time, at which a future target is further set as the action. The action includes deciding the charging and discharging amount in that subsection and deciding a future target in a subsection whose target should be set.
摘要:
A better configuration for a computerized system is determined by performing a first stage and a second stage. In the first stage, the performance of each system configuration, including candidate configurations and a standard configuration, is evaluated, and the number of scenarios needed in the second stage is determined. In the second stage, the performance of each scenario of the standard configuration is evaluated, and the mean thereof is determined. For each candidate configuration, the performance of each scenario of the candidate configuration is evaluated, and the mean thereof is determined. Where the candidate configuration's mean is greater than the standard configuration's mean by a threshold, it is selected as the better configuration. Where no candidate configuration's mean is greater than the standard configuration's mean by the threshold, the standard configuration is selected as the better configuration.

A method for determining an optimum policy by using a Markov decision process in which T subspaces each have at least one state having a cyclic structure includes identifying, with a processor, subspaces that are part of a state space; selecting a t-th (t is a natural number, t≦T) subspace among the identified subspaces; computing a probability of, and an expected value of a cost of, reaching from one or more states in the selected t-th subspace to one or more states in the t-th subspace in a following cycle; and recursively computing a value and an expected value of a cost based on the computed probability and expected value of the cost, in a sequential manner starting from a (t −1)-th subspace.
