Table 4.

Preferences between options from table 3.

combination of options	preferred option	reason
A and B	A	whichever option is chosen there may be no option available once handling is completed. Thus, it is best to go for the option that gives the greatest energy gain, i.e. A
B and C	B	B guarantees 2 units of energy in 2 time steps, whereas if C is chosen, there may not be an option to take after 1 time step
C and A	C	C has the higher profitability and, even if it is not still available after handling, B (which also has a higher profitability than A) is likely to reappear soon
A, B and C	B	B and C have the same profitability and B gives a greater energy than C. Both A and C act as backup options for subsequent choices
