The article examines the possibility of using the methods of balance analysis for the development of digital models for managing the production assets of thermal power plants. It is shown that the balance method is suitable for compiling universal input-output matrices, which can be used for a mathematical description of the expenditure of financial and material resources in the production process of a power plant. An economic and mathematical model of the production assets management system in the form of matrix equations of price, added value, output and supply of energy resources and products is proposed. The developed model provides dual links between economic and technological factors of production and allows organizing the management of production assets of a power plant directly according to the economic effect of their use.
The paper is devoted to the proposal of a method for making managerial decisions on the replacement of production assets of TPPs in conditions of insufficient statistical data on failures and changes in the technical state of an equipment. It is proposed to use a probabilistic method to predict the period of replacement of production assets, based on the formation of a hypothesis about the law of distribution of equipment failures and its reaching the limit state, which determines the stock of possible operating time of a production asset. As an economic criterion for the period of replacement of a production asset, the use of an indicator of production profitability is considered, the advantage of which is the ability to make a decision to change equipment before the expiration of the life resource in the event of an unsatisfactory economic result of its operation, which is critical in solving the problem of ensuring the economic sustainability of TPPs. In the absence of an investment resource for the replacement of a production asset, it will be possible to recommend the conservation of an ineffective asset, which will minimize economic losses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
