    Description: The SCIP Optimization Suite provides a collection of software packages for mathematical optimization centered around the constraint integer programming frame- work SCIP. This paper discusses enhancements and extensions contained in version 7.0 of the SCIP Optimization Suite. The new version features the parallel presolving library PaPILO as a new addition to the suite. PaPILO 1.0 simplifies mixed-integer linear op- timization problems and can be used stand-alone or integrated into SCIP via a presolver plugin. SCIP 7.0 provides additional support for decomposition algorithms. Besides im- provements in the Benders’ decomposition solver of SCIP, user-defined decomposition structures can be read, which are used by the automated Benders’ decomposition solver and two primal heuristics. Additionally, SCIP 7.0 comes with a tree size estimation that is used to predict the completion of the overall solving process and potentially trigger restarts. Moreover, substantial performance improvements of the MIP core were achieved by new developments in presolving, primal heuristics, branching rules, conflict analysis, and symmetry handling. Last, not least, the report presents updates to other components and extensions of the SCIP Optimization Suite, in particular, the LP solver SoPlex and the mixed-integer semidefinite programming solver SCIP-SDP.

    Description: To attain the highest performance of energy supply systems, it is necessary to determine design specifications optimally in consideration of operational strategies corresponding to seasonal and hourly variations in energy demands. A hierarchical mixed-integer linear programming method has been proposed to solve such an optimal design problem efficiently. In this paper, a method of reducing model by clustering periods with the k-medoids method is applied to the relaxed optimal design problem at the upper level. Through a case study, it is clarified how the proposed method is effective to enhance the computation efficiency in a large scale optimal design problem.

    Description: To attain the highest performance of energy supply systems, it is necessary to determine design specifications optimally in consideration of operational strategies corresponding to seasonal and hourly variations in energy demands. Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) methods have been applied widely to such optimal design problems. A hierarchical MILP method has been proposed to solve the problems very efficiently. In addition, by utilizing features of the hierarchical MILP method, a method of reducing model by clustering periods based on the optimal operational strategies of equipment has been proposed to search design solution candidates efficiently in the relaxed optimal design problem at the upper level. In this paper, these methods are applied to the multiobjective optimal design of a cogeneration system by considering the annual total cost and primary energy consumption as the objective functions to be minimized. Through a case study, it turns out that the model reduction by the operation-based time-period clustering is effective in terms of the computation efficiency when importance is given to the first objective function, while it is not when importance is given to the second objective function.

    Description: A robust optimal design method of energy supply systems under uncertain energy demands has been proposed using a mixed-integer linear model for constituent equipment. However, this method takes a long computation time, and thus it can be applied only to small-scale problems. In this paper, a hierarchical optimization method is applied to two types of optimization problems for evaluating robustness to solve them efficiently. In a case study, the proposed method is applied to a cogeneration system with a complex configuration, and the validity and effectiveness of the method are ascertained.

    Description: A robust optimal design method of energy supply systems under uncertain energy demands has been proposed using a mixed- integer linear model for constituent equipment. A robust optimal design problem has been formulated as a three-level min-max- min optimization one by expressing uncertain energy demands by intervals, evaluating the robustness in a performance criterion based on the minimax regret criterion, and considering hierarchical relationships among design variables, uncertain energy demands, and operation variables. Since this problem must be solved by a special algorithm and is too difficult to solve even using a commercial solver, a hierarchical optimization approach has been applied to solve the problem but its application is limited only to small scale toy problems. In this paper, some strategies are introduced into the hierarchical optimization approach to enhance the computation efficiency for the purpose of applying the approach to large scale practical problems. In a case study, the proposed approach is applied to the robust optimal design of a cogeneration system with a complex configuration, and the validity and effectiveness of the method are ascertained.
