Abstract

The paper deals with a problem of an emergency power supply in the case of a blackout. It needs to be decided which of the power consuming devices should stay active and under what modes of operation. For this purpose a decision making problem with multiple criteria such as cost, systems operation time and priority usage, was formulated. It was assumed that the information about the recovery time is given by an expert in the form of certainty distributions. Then the results were provided under the assumption that the planned execution time is not shorter than the estimated recovery time with a given certainty threshold. This methodology is illustrated with a computational example.
