Optimizing Location of Air Distribution Controller in Mine Ventilation System
The outcomes of the studies toward upgraded automation of underground mine ventilation designing based on the modern mathematical procedures are discussed by the authors together with the prospects for genetic methods to be applied in the analysis of alternative ventilation circuits at the designing stage. The alternative schemes of optimizing the amount of auxiliary fans and brattices, their location and parameters are discussed in terms of the Oleni Ruchey and Partomchorr underground mines that are under design engineering.
