Three computerized coal transportation cost models were developed: (1) rail; (2) inland river, Great Lakes, and coastal ocean waterways; and (3) origin/destination-loading/unlodaing and for the transfer of coal between rail and barge at intermodal transshipment points. The models calculate the costs of owning, maintaining, and …

The study seeks to optimize coal transportation cost for 19 NTPC owned power plants using Linear Optimization techniques and seeks to evaluate the annual profitability of these power stations. The study does not suggest the adoption of this optimized model but aims to draw an insight of the dire need to reallocate the coal blocks to achieve ...

The real delivered cost of coal (commodity cost and transportation cost) remained relatively unchanged from 2013 to 2014 (the latest available data on coal shipment rates), increasing only slightly from $47.66/ton to $47.73/ton. However, the average transportation cost increased in 2014, balancing out a decrease in the …

The coal transportation cost can be decreased through multimodal transportation considering the low cost of the IWW mode, the great load of the railway model and the elasticity of the road mode. The total coal transportation cost with the 70% of railway transportation will decrease obviously comparing with the 80% of railway …

In this paper, we assess the potential of high-capacity coal trucks to reduce costs and scope 3 emissions at Eskom. We consider a scenario in which all the approximately 2000 trucks transporting coal for power stations are transitioned from standard 56-t vehicles to 74-t PBS vehicles such as those already participating in the …

Interprovincial coal transportation cost. The major mode of coal transportation is by railway because of its large capacity, fast speed, low cost and low energy consumption. Indeed, because coal's transportation is rarely time-dependent, speed is usually much less important than transportation cost [25], [39]. Railway …

The transportation network or matrix in Table 7-25 provides delivery cost to move coal from a free-on-board point of sale in the coal basin to the end-use power plant. The transportation cost combined with the free-on-board supply cost reflects the delivered cost a plant sees when making its coal selection. IPM
