Experimental modeling of loading optimization processes on TPP

Analyzed the structure of electricity production in Ukraine. It is revealed that TPP is an important element of the energy sector of Ukraine. A method is proposed for optimizing thermal power plant using experimental simulation, the essence of which is to generate load distribution combinations among thermal power plants at which the unit costs will be minimal. An abstract (computer) experimental model has been developed that generates random combinations of load distribution among thermal power plants and then searches for the optimal combination. As a tool for developing a model, the programming language Python is used. Experimental modeling of the processes of capacity utilization of the Zaporizhzhya, Dobrotvorskaya, Ladyzhynsky, Uglegorskaya and Kurakhovskaya TPPs has been carried out. Organizational measures to improve the efficiency of thermal power plant are proposed.
