Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the large and medium-sized crude oil tank farms of domestic refining, chemical and warehousing logistics companies generally have problems such as a large number of storage tanks, complex process pipelines, and wide distribution of tank farms. The scheduling decision of tank farms mainly depends on the subjective experience of dispatchers. It is difficult to take into account the conditions of all process equipment, such as pipeline occupancy, the current status of valves and pumps, etc., often resulting in low operating efficiency and increased operating costs of the tank farm

Embodiment Construction

[0043] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] figure 1 It is the process flow chart of a crude oil tank farm of a storage logistics enterprise. In view of the complex process of the tank farm, it is difficult for traditional manual scheduling to find the shortest operation path while taking into account the status of the tank farm equipment. The invention provides a scheduling method for a crude oil tank farm, which solves the above problems.

[0045] Such as figure 2 As shown, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0046] Initialize the tank farm process flow chart. In this embodiment, the storage tanks, centrifugal pumps, berths, on-off valves, flow meters, and pipeline confluences in the tank area are respectively regarded as a node, image 3 is an initialized weighted directed graph, with a total of 143 nodes, node set V={1,2,...,143}.

Abstract

The invention discloses a crude oil tank farm scheduling method which can accurately and rapidly provide a comprehensively-planned and comprehensively-optimized scheduling scheme for tank farm scheduling. According to the method, the aim of looking for the optimal working route by supporting a designated device which is sure to be passed by and a designated device which cannot be passed by under the constraint conditions such as tank farm devices and pipeline real-time states and by taking the shortest path as the optimization target is considered. By means of the method, enterprise operation cost is greatly lowered, production accidents caused by human subjective judgment are reduced, work safety of a crude oil tank farm is guaranteed, and the scheduling level and the economical efficiency in the tank farm are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of scheduling of crude oil tank farms in refining and chemical enterprises and warehousing and logistics companies, in particular to a method for quickly finding an optimal scheduling operation path, and in particular to a scheduling method for crude oil tank farms. Background technique [0002] At present, the large and medium-sized crude oil tank farms of domestic refining, chemical and warehousing logistics companies generally have problems such as a large number of storage tanks, complex process pipelines, and wide distribution of tank farms. The scheduling decision of tank farms mainly depends on the subjective experience of dispatchers. It is difficult to take into account the conditions of all process equipment, such as pipeline occupancy, the current status of valves and pumps, etc., which often results in low operating efficiency and increases the operating cost of the tank farm.
