Tampa Electric models its fuel mix to cut costs and meet emissions rules

A mixed-integer model optimizes Tampa Electric's fuel procurement, transport and blending for 2-3% fuel savings.

Tampa Electric Company (TECO)

那一手

Tampa Electric Company serves 687,000 customers in Florida and generates about 60% of its electricity with coal-fired generators.

Environmental regulations on coal-combustion emissions require it to mix several fuels of different qualities into blends that are safe, environmentally acceptable and affordable, and generator-specific.

The team built a decision-support platform centered on a mixed-integer programming model that captures TECO's fuel supply chain, letting it make optimal procurement, transportation, blending and burn decisions while satisfying all regulations.

为什么管用

  • Fuel quality, cost and emissions constraints interact, so they were solved together.
  • The model is generator-specific, so blends are tuned to each unit's needs.
  • It covers procurement, transport, blending and burn decisions end to end.
  • Compliance was treated as a constraint, not a cost to minimize away.
值了多少Optimize fuel procurement, blending and burn as one system利落

可以搬走什么

When regulations constrain a blend, model the whole fuel chain so the cheapest compliant mix is found, not just the cheapest coal.

后来呢

The team estimated the model can provide TECO annual fuel-cost savings of 2–3%, which translate to millions of dollars given its total fuel spend, while keeping the utility in compliance with emissions regulations.
