Simulation of underground coal mining processes

This article presents a new longwall simulation model. The model parameters are parameters of the coal seam, technical parameters of mining machines, flow schemes of the shearer operation, economic parameters, and the others. The model is intended for the decision of optimization problems in order to increase the productivity of the longwall face of a coalmine. The article provided an example of the use the longwall simulation model for one of the coalmine. For this mine, the dependence of the annual profit of the mine on the length of the face and on the flow scheme of shearer operation is obtained
