Issue of select members from sets

GAMS
1

Hello,

I’m a beginner to GAMS, I have a question about select members from sets.

For examples,
Set
r relays / 1*6 /

Variables tds(r);
con13… ((tds(‘5’) * 0.14) / (vcPower((384 / (5* 40)),0.02) - 1)) -
((tds(‘1’) * 0.14) / (vcPower((1978.9 / (2 * 60)),0.02) - 1)) =g= 0.2;

con14… ((tds(‘4’) * 0.14) / (vcPower((466.17 / (5 * 60)),0.02) - 1)) -
((tds(‘2’) * 0.14) / (vcPower((1525.7 / (3* 40)),0.02) - 1)) =g= 0.2;

con15… ((tds(‘1’) * 0.14) / (vcPower((175 / (5* 60)),0.02) - 1)) -
((tds(‘3’) * 0.14) / (vcPower((1683.9 / (2 * 40)),0.02) - 1)) =g= 0.2;

So, I do have a huge set of constraints, how I can introduce a specific sequence for the equations, instead of having a large number of equations?

It is a good practice to index your equations but in your case, it needs some work. I can give you an outline on how to do it.

The aim should be to write con(r);

first let’s look at the terms tds (in first equation, you have tds(5) and tds(1), in second you have 4,2 and in so on… I don’t see any programming logic here so you will need to declare a 2D set.

set r1(r, r);

populate its elements based on your needs.

r1('5','1') = yes;
r1('4','2') = yes;
r1('1','3') = yes;

You will then declare con(r, r) but to differentiate between indices of two tds() you will need to declare an alias.

alias(r, rr);

Now you can write the following equation

con(r, rr)$r1(r,rr).. ((tds(r) * 0.14) / (vcPower((384 / (5* 40)),0.02) - 1)) -
((tds(rr) * 0.14) / (vcPower((1978.9 / (2 * 60)),0.02) - 1)) =g= 0.2;

Finally, I see that the parameters in your equations also change in equations. You will also need to declare parameters over a set (based on hwo they are calculated).

Indeed there is not any programming logic. Thanks it works for me.
