Application of linear programming techniques to optimize the choice of coal and water coal fuel

It is proposed to put the linear programming method into the basis of the optimization problem of a mathematical economic model of fuel type selection in the boiler house. The linear programming method is used in modern computer programs for calculating various economic models. It is proposed to use graphical or vector methods for solving optimization problems when constructing a mathematical model after analyzing the boiler room operation data. Scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time it is proposed to use linear programming methods for an energy technology complex when choosing coal-water fuel based on various coals. Such calculation algorithms allow us to make recommendations to reduce fuel losses during transportation and storage. The solution of the optimization problem of a mathematical economic model can lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and an increase in economic efficiency when using energy technology complexes based on coal-water fuel.
