Abstract

Nowadays waste of energy is one of the most important problems power plants are faced with all over the world. Because of costly energy sources, notably fossil energy, renewable energy technologies are becoming more indispensable. Since no specific published record has yet been found of studying mathematical programming and simulation method applied to solar power plants and photovoltaic power generations in buildings as a lean manufacturing method, in this paper, by using mathematical programming and simulation method, we propose an approach consisting of the combination of mathematical and economic models used for distribution systems of electricity transmission networks in solar power plants installed out of the city, and photovoltaic power generations in buildings of the city.

The main approach is to use the simulation method for both models and compare the results with each other. Finally, by analyzing the test results, the optimum process of solar energy is presented. This aims- above all- to lead to cost reduction by appraising the percentage of country energy demand in distribution systems of electricity transmission networks. Moreover, the paper goes on to discuss constructing new solar power plants, or using new methods and technologies to satisfy the country demand which has the minimum rate of energy waste and the maximum earned value. Besides, system costs and the rate of energy waste during the transmission are considered as two criteria for comparison, and then by the test results of the simulation, the optimum procedure of the suggested models is presented.
