Dear all
My mathematical problem is to schedule the device in a home to achieve the minimum cost during a day. I divide a day into 24 time slots. Each device with have its own Power rate and length of operation time. Main variables in my problem are starting time of devices at which a device is started to run. When I run my program, starting times of devices are always at time slot 1 and these are wrong results. I do not know why my program give wrong results.
Here is my program
Model Main_Test_starting_time {
Set Time {
Index: t;
}
Set Devices {
Index: d;
}
Parameter Price {
IndexDomain: t;
}
Parameter Power_rate {
IndexDomain: d;
}
Parameter Length_of_operation_time {
IndexDomain: d;
}
Variable Starting_time {
IndexDomain: d;
Range: {
{1..inf}
}
}
Variable Energy_consumtion {
IndexDomain: t;
Range: nonnegative;
Definition: sum[d, if Ord(t) >= Starting_time(d) AND Ord(t) <= Starting_time(d) + Length_of_operation_time(d) - 1 then Power_rate(d) else 0 endif];
}
Variable Total_cost {
Range: free;
Definition: sum[t, Energy_consumtion(t) * Price(t)];
}
Constraint Contraint {
IndexDomain: d;
Definition: Starting_time(d) <= Card(Time) - Length_of_operation_time(d) - 1;
}
MathematicalProgram Minimum_Total_cost {
Objective: Total_cost;
Direction: minimize;
Constraints: AllConstraints;
Variables: AllVariables;
Type: Automatic;
}
Please help me
Thank you very much
