Efficient Quantum Solution for the Constrained Tactical Capacity Problem for Distributed Electricity Generation
conference paper
With the transition to sustainable energy sources and devices, the demand for and supply of energy increases ever more. With energy grids struggling to keep up with this increase, we need to ensure that supply and demand are correctly matched. The Tactical Capacity Problem tackles this issue by choosing the optimal location of sustainable power sources to minimise the total energy loss. We extend an existing quantum approach of solving this problem in two ways. Firstly, we extend the problem to include capacity constraints, resulting in the Constrained Tactical Capacity Problem. Secondly, we propose two ways of optimising the performance of the resulting model via variable reduction. These optimisations are supported by numerical results obtained on both classical and quantum solvers.
