Operational plan optimization device and operational plan optimization method

Abstract

The integrated control processing unit is configured to recognize a varying processable amount over time within a predetermined period of each of the simulators; transmit a simulation request for a simulation process within an optimal processing amount within the recognized processable amount of each of the simulators to each of the simulators together with an operation state information group and a simulation condition; receive a plurality of evaluation value groups as a simulation process result based on the operation state information group and the simulation condition from each of the simulators; and recognize a highest evaluation value group based on an operation objective function among a plurality of received evaluation value groups. The operational plan optimization device can perform various simulation operations at high speed at lower cost and recognize an optimal operation efficiently using hardware resources when performing operation simulation.
