Abstract

The article discusses the features of applying the precedent approach when managing complex energy-intensive systems in the context of the need to take into account various energy, technical, environmental and operational indicators, as well as the uncertainty of many internal and external factors influence. This leads to the presence of a large amount of semi-structured information that can be presented using various scales, which determines the prospects of using the precedent approach. The proposed fuzzy ontological model for supporting decision support based on precedents is described, characterized by the use of dynamic concepts, as well as concepts in the form of different scale numerical and linguistic variables. An algorithm for assessing the proximity of precedents based on an ontological model is proposed, which differs by taking into account the dynamic aspects of changes in the state of controlled systems. The developed algorithms for fuzzy inference for decision support based on precedents are presented, which allow the use of both linguistic and numerical variables as input characteristics of the fuzzy production model, as well as using various logical connections between the rules pre-requisites. The software that implements the developed model and algorithms is described. Particular attention is paid to the modified fuzzy inference component, implemented using Python 3.8.7 language tools. To implement the user interface of the specified component, the cross-platform graphic library Tkinter was used. The results of computational experiments using real data obtained during the operation of an energy-intensive system for processing fine ore raw materials, including a conveyor-type roasting machine, are presented. Minimization of specific total costs for thermal and electrical energy was considered as a criterion for the effectiveness of management decisions. The outcome obtained showed that the proposed model and software make it possible to obtain a result comparable to the one of using complex analytical dependencies, while ensuring a reduction in time and financial costs.
