Abstract

In this paper, a new model for energy planning problem is proposed based on environmental and social aspects of sustainability. Power plants capacity expansion is modeled in a way that the water consumption cost is minimized and the greenhouse gases emission rate is controlled. Moreover, social acceptance for the capacity expansion plan must ensure the government’s social acceptance level, in the planning periods. Different scenarios generated to cover the variety of uncertainties, based on stochastic P-robust approach. In this approach, the expected cost is minimized and the regret value for each scenario would not be more than P, so the solution is P-robust. The proposed model is applied for a case study from Iran energy sector. The results indicate that a slight increase in expected cost value leads to considerable regret reduction.
