Control of the Process Equipment Modes with the Piecewise Continuous Characteristics of Power Consumption

This article considers the matter of control of the process equipment modes with the piecewise continuous characteristics of power consumption. It takes place under conditions of double-rate tariff system on the electric power. Investigating the examples of the several consumers the optimization of operations mode by the criterion of minimum expenses of the purchase of the electric power on double-rate tariff, the criterion of a minimum of the charge of the electric power and complex optimization by two criteria at once was made. The results of optimization promote economy of the electric power and money resources at the expense of redistribution of outputs only.
