Research and Application of intelligent purchasing and transportation model for coal-fired power plant

Abstract

At present, the decision-making method of coal purchase in most coal-fired power stations is based on the experience of blending coal and burning in thermal power units, but this method does not consider the factors of economy and transportation. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a method to optimize the coal purchasing scheme of coal-fired power plants based on the joint optimization decision model of coal purchasing and dispatching. First fuel characteristics of mixed coal and purchasing cost model was constructed to determine the fountainhead procurement constraints, and mixing coal prices, then dispatching model was constructed to determine the scheduling constraints and transport price, the final will buy coal cost and transportation cost summation minimum and the nature of the mixed coal constraints as a joint decision model, and USES the particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve it. The decision model is applied to a power plant for verification, and the calculation results show that the total purchasing cost of power plant is greatly reduced.
