A Review of Data Mining Method and Energy Material Property in Optimizing Thermal Power System

Abstract

In this paper we give a brief introduction of the data mining method used in thermal power system optimization. The issues as well as the influence of energy material property (take coal as example) on performance matching and optimizing of power plant are overviewed. The development of this domain is presented to readers. Finally, we draw several conclusions. First, Data Mining could have a deeply and widely use in optimization of thermal power plant. Second, the energy material property has a deeply impact on the safe operation and economic operation. The investigation is of great necessary.
