HIERARCHICAL SOLUTION OF THE OPTIMUM ALLOCATION PROBLEM LAGRANGIAN RELAXATION AND EXPLICIT SOLUTION PRINCIPLES

Recently, there have been many problems describing the technological, societal and environmental processes, very complex, large in dimension, with many inputs and outputs. These problems can be optimized by classical theories but often such methods based on centrality cannot be applied because of huge amount of information. Then, hierarchical approaches seem to be a convenient tool for the optimization problems. This contribution describes the hierarchical solution of optimum load allocation problem in thermal power plant. Two iterative and one explicit method based on the price coordination and interaction balance are derived and applied.
