Modelling of automated steam coal transportation and enrichment systems for efficient operation and cost reduction of thermal power plants

This paper investigates the efficiency of fuel enrichment to reduce costs thermal power plants (TPPs). An objective function is formulated define and measure desired results. The annual TPPs additional associated with use highly abrasive coal are analyzed. enrichment, in particular, flotation considered. A cost analysis a transportation problem presented demonstrate In general, this provides insight into financial implications strategies for plants.
