Abstract:

For some decisional problems, it is difficult to have a set of potential alternatives a priori. This is true, for instance, when the object of the decision is dependent on an external environment, as in the case of disturbance situations in industrial processes. Computer assistance must support, first, the elaboration of a potential alternatives set and, second, the decision-making activity which will determine the decision elements leading to recovery from the disturbance. This paper deals with such a situation encountered in an electricity production contest. An interactive multicriteria procedure exploiting a knowledge-based module to select electricity production alternatives is presented. Section 1 introduces the electricity production–consumption framework and identifies the Spinning Reserve Mobilization (SRM) function. Next, our contribution to the systematization and the experimentation of a decision-making process which supports the dispatcher confronted with an SRM situation is described. The decision-making process includes an intelligent module and a decisional procedure. The module and the procedure, and their interconnections, are developed in Section 2. Section 3 describes the DSS called CASTART which implements this process. An overview of DSS functionalities is given, as well as the results obtained by a dispatcher working in cooperation with the system, in the case of a simulated production incident.
