A project submitted to the faculty of
Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg, in partial fulfilments of the
requirements for the degree of Master of science in
Engineering
Johannesburg, 1994 / The purpose of this document is to report on the
development of Linear Programming function for the
Generation Expansion Planning environment of Eskom.
This was achieved by researching the modeling methods
employed in this and related fields of work. After
establishing the scope of the work to be performed all
the options were carefully assessed and it was decided
to develop the Production Scheduling function first, as
this would serve as the foundation for future work.
The requirements were specified after extensive
discussion with the customer. These requirements were
utilize to establish the formulae, including their
bounds and constraints. These were in turn converted
into the Linear programming function. To faci1itate the
data input process a simple input facility was
developed. To maximize the value of the results the
report writer was developed to enable sensitivity
studies to be performed. This work was later used as
the foundation of the NewGex programme.
