Within the scope of this thesis a model based on evolution strategy is depicted, which optimises the upgrade of an existing power plant mix. In doing so the optimisation problem is divided in two sections covering the building of new power plants as well as their ideal usage within the persisting power plant mix. The building of new power plants is optimised by means of mutations, while their ideal usage is specified by a heuristic classification according to the merit order of the power plant mix. By applying a residual yearly load curve the consumer load can be modelled, incorporating the impact of fluctuating power generation and its probability of occurrence. Power plant failures and the duration of revisions are adequately considered by means of a power reduction factor. The optimisation furthermore accommodates a limiting threshold for yearly carbon dioxide emissions as well as a premature decommissioning of power plants.     «
