Abstract

Since renewable energy systems have a limited lifespan and cannot be used after a while, it seems imperative to pay attention to recycling and sustainability in the supply chain network design of these systems. Also, modern power systems have high complexity and a large number of problems that affect the reliability of electricity supply to consumers. Therefore, organizations should consider broader goals, including the maximum use of resources and the minimization of waste, which is known as lean economy. In this research, a multi-objective non-linear forward optimization model has been considered for the design of the supply chain network of photovoltaic and wind systems based on the aspects of stability and taking into account the reliability. Also, adding the reverse flow, in addition to the forward flow, is also considered, which, in addition to economic advantages, also pays attention to environmental and social issues. The objective function includes minimizing all costs and negative environmental effects as well as increasing reliability. In order to convert the multi-objective planning model into a single-objective one, the epsilon method of the enhanced constraint is used. Uncertainty has been considered for all variables (except binary variables) and parameters of demand, intensity of sun radiation and amount of wind speed. Then, the efficiency of the model has been investigated through its implementation on a case study and the results have been obtained. Eventually, the model's efficiency is illustrated by discussing a real-world case, through which prominent managerial results are acquired.
