The consumer demand this year is expected to be 100 units and price is $5 per unit. Next year's gas price and demand will depend on the weather. In the 2nd year, the weather could be either very cold or warm. If the weather is very cold, demand will be 180 with price of $7.50.  If the weather is warm, demand will be 100 with a price of $5.00. Demand and price are perfectly correlated since both depend on the weather. To capture this, we use the Beta distribution for the uncertain variable, D5, in the calculation of both the demand and the price in year 2. The gas company can buy gas this year at the current price of $5/unit and store it for use next year. If gas is stored, there will be an associated holding or storage cost of $1/unit per year. How much gas should the company purchase this year (before next year's demand is known) and next year (after next year's demand is known)?

In both cases, the result of a successful transformation is a conventional linear programming model, but with considerably more decision variables and constraints than the original model. Generally, the Robust Counterpart model is much smaller than the Deterministic Equivalent model, but the solution of this model may be only an approximate (and conservative) solution of the original problem.
