Résumé :
This paper deals with the optimal design of a stand-alone hybrid system
composed of wind turbines, solar photovoltaic panels and batteries. To com-
pensate for a possible lack of energy from these sources, an auxiliary fuel
generator guarantees to meet the demand in every case but its use induces
important costs. We have chosen a two-stage robust approach to take ac-
count of the stochastic behavior of the solar and wind energy production and
also of the demand. We seek to determine the optimal system, i.e. the one
that generates a minimum total cost when the worst case scenario relating
to this system occurs. We use a constraint generation algorithm where each
sub-problem (the recourse problem) can be reformulated by a mixed-integer
linear program and hence solved by a standard solver. We also propose a
polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm for the recourse problem
and show that, in some cases, this algorithm is much more efficient than
mixed-integer linear programming. Finally, we report computational exper-
iments on instances constructed from real data, that show the efficiency of
the proposed approach and we study the addition of constraints linking the
uncertainty in consecutive time periods.
