Tiivistelmä: | A large mixed-integer linear program (MILP) and a much smaller nonlinear programming (NLP) approximation of the MILP, involving simulation and response surface estimation via regression analysis, are proposed to solve the problem of the optimal selection of natural gas supply contracts by local gas distribution utilities. Each potential supply source is characterized by several price and nonprice parameters. Weather variability is the basic stochastic factor that drives the demand for gas by various market segments. |
