Hello!
I'm trying to create a script in MATLAB in which I can maximize the revenue from a heating plant.
This problem is, each boiler can only be turned off or run in between 40 and 100 % of the maximum power. So I want the boiler input x to be equal to 0 or in between 0.4 and 1. But how can I put this constraint in a linear programming script? Is it even possible?
If I introduce help variables, x1, x2 x3 ... xn, can that help me to achieve this?
It might be possible to use non linear constraints, but I want to do it with only linear constraints first if it's possible?
regards,
