Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001]

The present invention relates to a method of designing a mixing ratio of a coking coal and a mixing scheme designing apparatus and more particularly to a mixing scheme designing method for designing a mixing mixing scheme for a plurality of coking coals so as to minimize a sum of daily mixing rates for the plurality of coking coals And a mixing plan designing apparatus.

A general method for producing metallurgical coke is as follows. First, a plurality of coking coal is loaded on the yard by the seeds, and crushed by a crusher as necessary. Then, a plurality of coking coal is stored for each of the different types of coal in different mixing tanks. Thereafter, the coke stored in each mixing tank is discharged and mixed according to a predetermined mixing ratio, transferred to a storage tank, and charged into a coke oven to be carbonized. The compounded coal in which a plurality of cokes are blended is extruded from a coke furnace at a high temperature for a certain period of time, extruded, and then extruded and then extruded into a coke by a wet or dry method. Here, in order to produce a coke of constant quality, a blending ratio for blending coking coal for each type of coal must be designed, and each coking coal is blended according to the designed blending ratio.

On the other hand, for stable operation in the blast furnace, the quality of the coke used as the fuel must be higher than a certain level, and it is necessary that the quality is kept unchanged at each operation. Generally, when high quality coking coal is used as a raw material of coke as a raw material, a high quality coke can be produced. However, high-quality coking coal is limited in reserves, is in high demand worldwide and is not easy to secure as much as necessary.

Therefore, a coke is produced by mixing various cokes so as to produce a coke of suitable quality while lowering the unit cost. In this case, a technique of designing the mixing ratio of the coke is important. This is because various coke to be used as raw materials for coke are transported from all over the world and settled in the yards of steel mills. Since they are supplied according to the international price of each type of coal and the production conditions of mountain regions, Therefore, when one of the coking coal is difficult to supply, the other coking coal in the range of the coking coal similar to the coking coal is supplied and used. Accordingly, the mixing design is irregularly changed in accordance with the availability of available or replaceable coking coal. However, at the time of changing the blending ratio, it is difficult to change the blending design because the quality of the coke to be produced should be kept as constant as possible considering the future supply and demand situation of the raw coke and the unit price of the raw coke.

In order to solve such a problem of mixing design, methods using a mathematical programming method have been attempted. However, to date, most of the design schemes using mathematical programming have focused on deriving short-term combinations from the point of change of formulation to the point of change of the next formulation. This method of mixing design considers the present state of the coking coal, but since the long-term supply and demand situation of each coking coal is overlooked, there arises a problem that the necessary coking coal is exhausted prematurely. And this problem becomes a factor that makes it impossible to mix in order to maintain the target quality of the coke later.

Korean Registered Patent 454,364

In addition, it is possible to design a blending scheme that satisfies the target coke quality with the current yard coking stock quantity and the inventory quantity to be received in the future, and it is possible to establish a long blending scheme. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the quality deterioration due to lack of inventory of the coking coal and to stabilize the operation, and it is possible to prevent the problems such as the sudden purchase of the specific coking coal to normalize the quality of the coke, You can block. In addition, it is possible to predict the inventory status of the coking coal from the initial inventory, arrival, and blending plan results during the blending planning period, so that it can be used as data for determining the future direction of purchase.

For example, when there are 60 types of coking coal, and when they are separated into carbonization degree and fluidity degree, the first coking coal, the second coking coal, the third coking coal and the like are classified as earthenware, and the 14th coking coal and the 15th coking coal are classified as middle eastern carbon 26th coking coal, 27th coking coal, and the like are classified as low-perm easting coal, 38th coking coal, 39th coking coal and the like are classified as low-grade coal, and 45th coking coal to 50th coking coal and the like are classified as nonpointing coking coal.

Hereinafter, the method and the apparatus for designing a mixing schedule according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a mixing scheme designing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

As described above, in the present invention, in blending a plurality of coke ovens (S40), the blending ratios of the plurality of coke ovens are designed and blended such that the sum of blending unit prices per plan day for the plurality of coke ovens is minimized. At this time, the formulation plan is designed so that the sum of the mixing unit prices per plan day is minimized while satisfying a plurality of constraint conditions.

The plurality of constraint conditions include a constraint condition for predicting the quality characteristics of the coke to be produced and for ensuring that the predicted coke quality characteristic satisfies predetermined quality characteristic criteria and a constraint for making the final inventory amount of each coke today satisfy the preset inventory criterion A condition for minimizing the difference between the blending ratio of the previous day and the blending ratio of the present day for each coking coal and a condition for limiting the sum of the inventory amounts of the plurality of coking coal contained in the coking coal group to the target coking coal ratio The stock limit condition of the coking coal group in which the inventory amount of the coking coal is kept to be maintained and the coking coal that has participated in the combination at least once in the planning period are continuously used until the stock is exhausted, . In addition, there are a constraint condition that the sum of the blending ratios of the respective raw materials used in the blending is 100%, a constraint condition that the blending ratio of the respective raw materials is equal to or less than a maximum value of the reference blending ratio of each raw material, And includes a constraint condition that satisfies the predetermined seed number criterion.

The method of designing the blending scheme according to the present invention is composed of an objective equation and a constraint equation in the form of equations or inequalities for the operating variables during the blending planning period. The mathematical programming model (Mixed Integer Programming Model) is used. The mixed integer planning model is a mathematical programming model in which the decision variables to be searched are a mixture of real numbers and integers. Generally, it is composed of a complex arithmetic system. After the mixed integer planning model is constructed, it can be calculated Use the program you have.

As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus for designing the mixing ratio of a plurality of coking coal according to the embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the composition, quality and cost of each of the plurality of coking coal, the present stock amount for each of the plurality of coking coal, , A data storage unit (100) storing data of each of a plurality of raw materials, an arrival schedule and an arrival amount for each of the plurality of raw materials, and a mixing ratio of the previous days for each of the plurality of raw materials, The unit price of each of the plurality of coking coal is applied and the mixing ratio of each coking coal is varied so as to calculate the mixing unit cost per plan day according to the unit price and the mixing ratio, A calculation unit for designing a blending scheme for adjusting the blending ratio and blending ratio of each of the plurality of raw cyanogen blend so that the sum of blending unit prices added is minimized, An output unit (200) for displaying the mixing ratio of each coking coal according to the mixing schedule calculated by the calculation unit (200), the quality characteristics for each characteristic of the predicted coke, and the stock prediction amount of each coking coal, .

The data storage unit 100 stores data on the composition information, the arrival schedule and the stock amount (see FIG. 2) for each of a plurality of culleres to be blended, the inventory amount of each coking coal, the blending ratio in the blending operation of the previous charge , And sends it to the calculation unit 200. In the inventory amount information of each coking coal, an inventory amount of one day before the planned date at which the design is started is stored in the planning period in which the blending ratio is designed. Further, in the compounding ratio information in the compounding operation of the immediately preceding charge, the compounding ratio of the day before the planned day at which the design is started is stored in the planning period in which the compounding ratio is designed.

The calculation unit 200 applies a plurality of constraint conditions provided in the constraint condition input unit 210 and the constraint condition input unit 210 in which a plurality of constraint conditions are stored and input and outputs the data provided in the data storage unit 100 And a calculation unit 220 for calculating and designing a blending scheme for each coking coal for each planned date. At this time, the calculation unit 220 designs the blending scheme so that the sum of blending unit prices per plan day is minimized.

In the calculation unit 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a blending scheme is designed using a mixed integer plan model composed of an objective formula and a constraint. For example, the calculation unit 200 calculates And a solver that is a commercial engine. In the present invention, the mixed integer plan model for constructing the formulation plan is composed of Equation 1, which is the objective formula for minimizing the sum of the compounding prices per plan day, and a plurality of mathematical expressions, which are constraints for each of the plurality of constraints.

[Equation 1]

Figure 112015025378061-pat00059

The description of Equation 1 will be described in detail later.

In designing the blending scheme, there is a constraint condition that predicts the quality characteristics of the coke to be produced from the information such as the kind of the coke to be blended and the blending ratio, so that the predicted coke quality characteristic satisfies the predetermined quality characteristic standard. In this case, the quality characteristics of the coke are as follows: cold strength (DI: Drum Index), CSR (Coke Strength after CO2 Reaction), ASH (ash) (LMF), Total Dilatation (TD), Strength Index (SI), Composition Balance Index (CBI) , Mean Reflectance of Vitrinite of Coal Texture (RM) and Total Sulfur (TS). The target reference value or reference range for each quality characteristic is shown in Table 1.

Here, the predicted grade of each of cold strength (DI), post-reaction strength (CSR), and amount of ash (ASH) can be derived from a linear regression analysis formula estimated from the composition, composition and blending amount of the coke to be compounded.

For example, the linear regression analysis equation for deriving the cold strength (DI) can be derived using Equation 1 below, and the post-reaction strength can be derived using Equation 2 below, for example.

Equation 1) Cold Strength (DI) = 0.560 (SI) - 0.404 (CBI) + 84.458

Formula 2 CSR = -4.433 (LMF) + 7.808 (SI) - 2.849 (CBI) + 47.420

The linear regression equations such as the above-described equations 1 and 2 can be derived through several tests. That is, in mixing a plurality of raw coke, the kind and mixing ratio of the coke to be compounded are controlled, and each compounded coal is dried in an oven to produce coke, and the quality characteristic of the coke is detected. Here, the cold strength was found to be highly related to the index of strength (SI) and the tissue equilibrium index (CBI), and the CSR after the reaction was found to be the maximum fluidity (LMF), strength index (SI) ) Were found to be significant. Therefore, experiments were conducted by adjusting these parameters. As a result of analyzing the relationship between these parameters, the cold strength and the post-reaction strength, the mathematical relation between them was expressed by a regression analysis formula as shown in Equations 1 and 2.

Of course, the formula for deriving the cold strength and the post-reaction strength is not limited to the above-mentioned Equations 1 and 2. If the parameters are changed according to the operating conditions, it may be changed to another form after several tests.

The linear regression analysis equation for deriving the ash amount ASH can also be derived through the test as described above.

The predicted grade such as volatilization amount, flow rate, total expansion amount, etc. can be derived by the calculation of the sum of the composition, composition and blending amount of the coking coal of the coking coal.

The constraint for constraining each quality characteristic as shown in Table 1 is expressed by Equation 2 below.

Where k is any one of a plurality of quality characteristics, k is any one of 1, 2, 3 to 10 (k = 1, 2, 3 ... 10 1), 1, 2, 3 to 10 each means any quality characteristic. In other words, k means a first quality characteristic, a second quality characteristic, a third quality characteristic to a tenth quality characteristic. The first quality characteristic (k = 1) is the cold strength (DI), the second quality characteristic (k = 2) is the post-reaction intensity (CSR), the third quality characteristic (k = The fourth quality characteristic (k = 4) is the volatilization amount VM, the fifth quality characteristic (k = 5) is the maximum flowability LMF, the sixth quality characteristic (k = The seventh quality characteristic (k = 7) is the intensity index (SI), the eighth quality characteristic (k = 8) is the tissue equilibrium index (CBI) 10 The quality characteristic (k = 10) may be the total sulfur content (TS).

X ij is the compounding ratio of the i-cyanide in the j-plan day, X is the mixing ratio, i is the specific coking coal, and j is the specific blending date. More specifically, j is any one of formulation planning days for designing a formulation plan, which is either the first plan day of the plan period, the second plan day, the third plan day, or the last plan day of the plan period. For example, let j be 1, 2, 3 ... , J represents the first planning day of the planning period when j is 1, the second planning day of the planning period when j is 2, and the third planning day of the planning period when j is 3. i defines one of the 60 kinds of coking coal, for example, and is any one of the first coking coal to the 60th coking coal. For example, let i be 2, 3 ... , The first coking coal in the planning period when i is 1, the second coking coal in the planning period when i is 2, and the third coking coal in the planning period when i is 3.

QLB k is the lower limit value (QLB) of the reference value of the k-quality characteristic (see Table 1), and QUB k is the upper limit value (QUB) of the reference quality characteristic value of the k-th quality characteristic. Thus, in the constraint of Equation (2), the quality characteristic (F k (X ij )) of the coke is restricted to be equal to or less than the lower limit value QLB k and the upper limit value QUB k .

As described above, in the present invention, the mixed integer planning model for designing the formulation plan is designed such that the sum of the compounding cost per plan day is minimized, and a linear planning model represented by the following equation (3) And then the mixed integer plan model is constructed.

Ai in Equation (3) means the unit price (a) of the i-coking coal, and the unit price of the entire plan day is minimized by Equation (3). That is, when combining the plurality of culleres having different unit prices (unit price per ton) by the blending ratio, the unit price and the blending ratio of the respective cullerenes can be used to calculate the compounding unit price of the blended cullet containing a plurality of culleries, (J) the sum of the combined unit prices of the total planned days plus the combined unit prices for each planned day shall be the minimum. At this time, since the unit price of each coking coal is fixed, whether or not each of the plurality of coking coals is blended and the blending ratio is changed, and the unit price of each coking coal is applied thereto, the blending unit price corresponding to the blending of the plurality of coking coal is calculated. Then, a plurality of blending design types are determined according to the blending ratio and the blending ratio of each of the plurality of raw materials for a plurality of planning days, and a blending design type in which the sum of blending unit prices of all the blending days is the minimum It is designed by the blending scheme of the planning period.

At this time, the constraint condition (Equation (4)) that the total sum of the quality characteristic constraint condition according to the above-described Equation (2) and the mixture ratio per plan day should be 100% as the constraint condition and the specific mixture ratio of the specific coking coal are excessively large, , The composition ratio of each coking coal constitutes a constraint condition (Equation (5)) that is equal to or less than the upper limit value of the reference compounding ratio. In Equation (5), UBX i is the upper limit of the mixing ratio of the i-coking coal.

The purpose of the blending scheme of the coking coal is to design the blend so that there is no problem in manufacturing the coke of the target quality within the blending planning period designated by the operator. In order to achieve this, the initial inventory status of each coking coal, the supply of the coking coal, and the amount of coking coal to be used for each planned date are determined. Based on the calculated amount of coking coal, If stock is exhausted, design constraints related to inventory should be designed so that the formulation change is automatically made to replaceable coking coal that can be used.

That is, a constraint is required that the inventory state for each coke in each planning day should not be negative (-) over the entire planning period. Equation 6 is expressed by the formula.

Here, I ij is the stock of the j-th planning work that is, today, (j) of the i-coking coal, I ij - 1 is a stock of day the day before (j-1) of an j-th program of the i-coking coal (today) (I) to be. And C is the amount of total coking coal used per plan day, C · X ij Is the usage amount of the jth plan day of the ith coking coal, that is, the present day (j).

According to the equation (6), the stock amount (P ij ) of the present day (j th planned date) is added to the stock amount (I ij -1 ) of the day before the present day of the i- ) of the raw carbon amount (CX ij) for subtracting one for today (j-th plan yl) final inventory (I ij) is equal to 0 or a positive (+) across the planning period (that is, negative (-) to avoid a) the pharmaceutical do. From Equation (6), it is forced to change the blend ratio of the coking coal at that time when the inventory of the specific coking coal is exhausted. In addition, the total composition ratio of the day is changed by the constraint of the above-mentioned equation (4) that the sum of the mixture ratios per planned day should be 100%. Therefore, Equation (6) is added to Equation (3).

When mixing a plurality of coke at a coke plant, the number of used hoppers is usually 20 or less, and one coke may be stored in one hopper, or a heavy coke may be stored in two hoppers . In each hopper, the raw coke is discharged according to the specified mixing ratio, and the discharged coke is mixed and transferred to the coke oven. On the other hand, when the number of cullet to be mixed, that is, the number of seeds to be added, is low, the operator's convenience of operation is reduced. Therefore, the cullet is generally limited to 8 to 14 seeds. Therefore, in designing the combination of coking coal for each planned date, it is necessary to limit the number of coking coal to be compounded, that is, the number of seeds, and the constraint is expressed by Equation (7) below.

In Equation (7), G ij is a binary integer variable, and G ij has a value of 1 when it is used for compounding, and G ij has a value of 0 when it is not used for compounding. Also, M is a constant called Big-M, commonly used in mathematical programming, which means a fairly large number that is not normally scoped. And, LBG is the minimum value of the number of coke to be used in the compounding, and UBG is the maximum value of the number of coke to be used in the compounding.

the mixing ratio X ij of the i-th planned date of the i-th raw coal should be 100% or less, so that M is preferably a constant of 100 or more in the equation (7).

For example, when i-coking coal is used for the j-th planning date, G ij is 1, and the blending ratio of i-coking coal is not less than the minimum blending ratio (LBX i ) in the reference blending ratio of i-coking coal. Since G ij is 1 for each of a plurality of cyanide coke when a plurality of cyanogen dyes are used, adding a plurality of "1" s to the number of seeds to be used in combination and limiting the number of seeds to LBG or more and UBG or less Equation (7) is expressed. Each of the LBG and UBG may be variously changed according to the number of the hoppers, etc. For example, LBG may be 8 and UBG may be 14. The linear programming model of Equation (3), which adds Equation (7) to the binary integer type variable G ij used to construct the constraint of Equation (7), is changed to a mixed integer programming model.

For a coke oven, if there is a large deviation between blending ratios according to the planned dates, the quality characteristics of the coke are not constant, inconveniencing the operation, and cause additional costs. Therefore, even if there are enough coking coals loaded in the yard during the mixing period, it is necessary to limit the variation in the mixing ratio of the coking coals per day. That is, it is constrained that the difference in the blending ratio between the previous day and the present day of one coke is minimized.

Where X ij -1 is the blending ratio of the day before day i of the i-th planned day of the i-th raw coal, and X ij is the blending ratio of the j-th planned day of the i-th coal. And d + ij , d - ij Each is a slack or dummy value used in goal programming. It is a real number with a positive numerical value greater than or equal to 0, and is a variable indicating the difference between the blending ratio of the day before and the day of the coking coal. This expression (8) means that the difference between the blending ratio of the day of the i-th coal and the previous day is restricted to be close to zero or minimized. If the constraint of Equation (8) is added to Equation (3), the Equation (3) becomes the objective expression of Equation (9).

&Quot; (9) "

Figure 112015025378061-pat00079

In the objective expression of Equation (9), W 1 represents a weight, and the higher the value, the stronger the forcing to minimize the difference in the blending ratio between the previous day and the present day. However, W 1 is If the value is set to an excessively high value, the influences on the objective formula become large, and unlike the original purpose of designing with the minimum mixing unit price, although the possibility of unit price drop is opened, the blend design You should be careful because it is possible. Conversely, if the weight W 1 is set to an excessively small value, the forcing to maintain the existing compounding ratio becomes small, which increases the possibility of causing a frequent change of the compounding ratio, thereby making the operation unstable. It is therefore necessary to set it to a suitable value for the weight W 1 , which can be obtained from the operator through a plurality of tests.

On the other hand, even if a suitable value for W 1 is found, there is a risk that the compounding ratio can not be completely controlled only by Equations (8) and (9). Therefore, it is necessary to add Equation (8) and Equation (9) so as to further increase the selection range of W 1 by adding a certain constraint to the constraint condition added to the actual operation.

If the remaining amount of the above-mentioned coking coal is changed due to the change of the composition of the coking coal to the other coking coal before the inventory is exhausted, it may cause a risk of interfering with the stacking of the coking coal newly occupied by occupying the reserved space of the yard, . In addition, since the coking coal contains volatile matter, when the remaining amount is in the yard, the composition of the coking coal may change, and the water content may increase during rainy weather, thereby deteriorating the quality. Therefore, it is preferable to continuously use the raw coke to be used in the mixing until the stock is exhausted. By constructing it with a constraint formula (Equation 10), it is possible to describe the actual operating situation and to obtain Equation 8 And Equation (9) can be reinforced.

Equation (10) is a constraint constraint that is used to continuously use the raw coke to be used in the formulation until the stock is exhausted.

Here, Eij , E2ij , E3ij Is a binary integer of 0 or 1.

(I-1) i coking coal is used (G ij -1 = 1) and the stock quantity (i ij -1 + P ij ) of the i-coking coal that can be used today is i If it is larger than the minimum use amount (C · LBX ij ) for each day of the coking coal, it means to use the above coking coal for the mixing of the present day. To express these conditions as mathematical expressions, binary integer variables E 1ij , E 2ij , and E 3ij are applied.

For example, when the previous day i coking coal is used (G ij -1 = 1), the inventory amount (i ij -1 + P ij ) of the i-th coal that can be used today is larger than the minimum use amount (C · LBX ij ) (I ij -1 + P ij -C · LBX ij > 0), E 1ij = 1E 2ij = 1E 3ij = 0, and G ij becomes 1, so that the i- do. As another example, if the previous day (j-1) i coking coal is used (G ij -1 = 1) but the present day i stocks of the coking coal are not exhausted, According to Equation 7, the i-coking coal is not used for the present day (Gij = 0), and the equation (10) is also applied at this time. As another example, if the previous day (j-1) i coking coal is not used (G ij -1 = 0) and if there is a stock of i cement in the yard, i coking coal is used (G ij = 1) (G ij = 0). In the case of changing the coking coal to be blended with another coking coal, the coking coal not yet used in the blending can be used.

Thus, Equation (10) can limit the coking coal used for compounding to be continuously used for compounding as long as the stock remains in the yard.

If each of the plural cullet is grouped according to the degree of carbonization and the degree of fluidity, it can be classified into a plurality of cullet groups such as O group, T group, V group, Y group and Z group as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. Here, the O group includes the first coking coal, the second coking coal and the third coking coal, and the T group includes the heavy oil coking coal, the 14th coking coal and the 15th coking coal, And the group Y includes low-grade coking coal including the 38th coking coal and the 39th coking coal, and the Z group includes the 45th coking coal to the 50th coking coal as the low-boiling coking coal, .

On the other hand, when coking coal is classified into O group, T group, V group, Y group, and Z group according to the characteristics, the operator determines the blending ratio for each group in consideration of the characteristics and unit price of each coking coal at the beginning of the year, To purchase and import the coking coal contained in the group. That is, when purchasing a plurality of coking coal, when the purchase amount of the plurality of coking coal groups is 100, the purchasing ratio of each coking coal group is determined, which is determined according to the characteristics and the unit price of each coking coal. Since the coking coal is purchased and supplied with the purchase ratio of each coking coal group, the purchase ratio of each coking coal group becomes the ratio of the amount of coking coal of each coking coal group. In the present invention, in designing the blend ratio of each coking coal during the blending design period, the blending ratio of each coking coal for each group is designed to be maintained as a ratio of the coking coal amount of the corresponding group. In other words, for each group, the sum of the blend ratios of the designed coking coal should be the ratio of the coking coal amount of the coking coal group to the maximum. Thus, the ratio of the amount of the raw material coal in each group can otherwise mean the target compounding ratio of each group.

For example, when the target compounding ratio of the V group is determined to be 20%, the sum of the target compounding ratios designed for each of the plurality of cullerenes contained in the V group is maintained at 20%.

Thus, the constraint on the target compounding ratio per group is to limit the sum of the ratios of the cokes belonging to the group as closely as possible to the target compounding ratio for each group classified by the characteristics of the coke when designing the compounding ratio for each plan day. This constraint can be expressed by the following equation (11). According to Equation (11), it is possible to limit the target compounding ratio for each group to the maximum, which also acts as a constraint to be reflected in the purchase direction of each coking coal.

Here, "i? L " means the i-cul tile of the l coal tar group, l is the group of coking coal, for example, l is any one of O, T, V, Y and Z , Z). The O group may be a high-purity coke, the T group may be a heavy oil coke, the V group may be a low flow coke, the Y group may be a low grade coke, and the Z group may be a low grade coke. Therefore, when l is 0, it means the i-coke contained in the O group. B l is the target compounding ratio of the l coal group.

S + 1j , S - 1j Each is a slack or dummy value used in goal programming, which is a real number with a positive numerical value greater than or equal to 0, and is a variable indicating the difference between the total compounding ratio of the group and the target compounding ratio.

If the constraint of Equation (11) is added to Equation (9), the Equation (9) becomes the objective equation of Equation (1).

In the objective expression of Equation (1), W 2 represents a weight as W 1, and the higher the value, the stronger the forcing to minimize the difference in the blending ratio between the previous day and the present day. As the value increases, the compounding ratio of each group represented by the sum of the grouping amounts per the planned days is limited to the target grouping ratio.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, a method of manufacturing a coke by mixing a plurality of coke blends according to a blending scheme designed through a blending scheme designing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described.

First, the blending ratio for each group is determined in advance or at the beginning of the year in consideration of the characteristics and unit price of each coking coal. After that, according to the determined blending ratio for each group, the coking coal contained in the group is purchased and received, so that the crayons are collected in the yard. At this time, the inventory amount of the coking coal for each group is maintained so that the target compounding ratio for each group determined during the year is maintained or the deviation is minimized. Then, each coked coal is crushed to have a particle size of not more than a certain size.

And during the blending period, the crushed coke is blended according to the blending scheme designed by the method according to the present invention. To this end, the data storage unit 100 of the mixing planning apparatus firstly stores the composition, quality characteristics and unit price of each of the plurality of cyanoboxes, the present stock quantity for each of the plurality of cyanoboxes, the arrival schedule for each of the plurality of cobbles, The data of each combination ratio of the previous day is stored. And the data are input to the calculation unit 200 and used in the formulation planning design.

In the calculation unit 200, a blend scheme is designed using a mixed integer plan model composed of an objective formula and a plurality of constraints. That is, Equation 1, which is the objective formula, Equation 6, Equation 6, Equation 7, which constrains the inventory of coking coal, Equation 7, which constrains the difference between the former mixing ratio and the same day mixing ratio, The mixing schedule for each coke within the mixing planning period is designed by using Equation 10 for restricting the change, Equation 11 for limiting the target stock amount per group, and the like.

The blending ratio of each coking coal is determined for each planned date in the designed blending scheme, and each coking coal is blended with the determined blending ratio, and the designed blending scheme is designed so that the sum of the blending rates per day is minimized.

Therefore, each coking coal is blended according to the blending scheme designed in the blending scheme designing apparatus, and the blending coal is charged into the coke oven to be carbonized and then digested into coke. The produced coke is stored in a separate reservoir.

On the other hand, the output unit 300 of the mixing scheme designing apparatus can display the predicted amount of the coke and the predicted stock quantity of each coking coal according to the blending ratio of the coking coal today, the blending schedule of today's plan day, .

As described above, the blending scheme designing method and apparatus according to the present invention can design the blending scheme so that the sum of the blending unit prices per day is minimized. In addition, it is possible to design a blending scheme that satisfies the target coke quality with the current yard coking stock quantity and the inventory quantity to be received in the future, and it is possible to establish a long blending scheme. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the quality deterioration due to lack of inventory of the coking coal, to stabilize the operation and to prevent the problems such as the sudden purchase of the specific coking coal to normalize the quality of the coke, You can block. In addition, it is possible to predict the inventory status of the coking coal from the initial inventory, arrival, and blending plan results during the blending planning period, so that it can be used as data for determining the future direction of purchase.

And, according to the present invention, a blending scheme is designed so as to limit the continuous use of the raw cyanide that has started to be used in blending until the stock is exhausted. Therefore, if the amount of the raw coal is changed to other cokes before the stock is exhausted, the remaining amount of the cokes is used to occupy the reserved space of the yard, thereby obstructing the stacking of new cokes newly received, The occurrence of the problem can be minimized. In addition, it is possible to minimize the problem of component change due to the volatilization of coking coal, and the problem of deterioration of quality due to increased moisture content in rainy weather.
