Game Model of Thermal Power Capacity Planning Considering Environmental Constraint

ABSTRACT

Rational planning of thermal power capacity is one of the main measures to reduce emissions. According to air pollution control plan, different environmental capacity regions provide different constraints to the scale of thermal power plants. With the development of electric market, unified relationship among thermal power plants has been changed to gambling one. To solve the above new problems emerged in the area of thermal power capacity planning, this paper presents a game model for thermal power capacity planning considering the constraint of environmental capacity. In this game-theory-based model, the thermal environmental adaptability factor, that reflecting the adaptability of environmental capacity to thermal power in different regions, is brought into the traditional profit function. Consequently, proper thermal power planning capacity adapting to environmental capacity could be obtained to provide support and basis for government regulation and enterprise decision. The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated by a series test results of different scale power planning examples.
