| Abstract | The large and complicated lignite handling system of Mae Moh Mine requires efficient
management to operate it in order to economically satisfy the demand of the power plants. Along
with a steady increase in electricity demand by the industrial, commercial and residential sectors,
an appropriate system of expansion planning should be done carefully to make sure that the
capacity of the system can support demands in the near future. The producibility is developed to
measure the performance of the existing system, and is calculated by the maximum flow models
under many working situations. And the Goal Programming is also used for optimal operation
scheduling.
From the producibility calculation under the same deterministic maintenance schedule, the
flow with no constraint gives the maximum producibility, while flow with non-repeated node and
equal arc capacity gives the minimum average cost of flow per .ton of coal. An optimum operation
schedule can be obtained from the proposed model under any given working situation. Interaction
between users and programs can be performed without changing the main structure of the
program when the working conditions are changed. |
