Industrial Thermal Power Plant Permanent Equipment Modeling in Order to Optimize Their Conditions

The article considers an approach that allows optimization of the modes of industrial thermal power plants using an algorithm organized using the dynamic programming method. The main input data for the calculation are the technical and economic models of generators and power boilers, representing the dependence of the power of the turbo generator or the steam capacity of the boiler on the cost per unit of fresh steam. The developed models make it possible to determine the optimal load of boilers, generators, the economically feasible composition of the fuel mixture, as well as the total cost of steam needed to generate electricity, heating and production samples. The paper gives an example of calculation using this approach.
