Strøkøøp - a program on long-term investigation of cost optimum nuclear power systems : input description (status april 1971)

Abstract

For the purpose of a long-term planning in energy politics one needs some information support in order to reach an optimum extension of the energy supply grid. Arising problems might todate be solved sufficiently precise by means of mathematical optimization processes. The program discussed here is appropriated to deliver such a support - a suitable employment provided. It was determined the cost-optimum capacity distribution of up to 10 different power plants in a national grid under consideration of the classified curve of annual load curve and of various restrictions, e.g. limitation of capacity increase of fast plutonium breeders by limited availability of plutonium. The optimization is carried out for each period of time. Here, nuclear power plants were exclusively selected according to economic view points. The description of this calculational model corresponds in essential to that of Ref. (2), and is made in the following chapter. Henceforth is given a description on the accomplishment of special calculations, in the end a detailed description of all necessary input data. Also, an illustration is given for input and output.
