Abstract

The paper presents mathematical and simulation models of the technological process of underground coal mining in one of the coal mines in Kuznetsk Coal Basin. The simulation model is developed with the help of our own simulation system MTSS, which contains a specialized library of mining equipment models and a coal seam model. The main goal of the simulation for coal mining technological processes in stoping face is the evaluation of productivity of a cutter-loader depending on different factors. Such factors are: technical parameters of a cutter-loader, size of a longwall face, conditions and constrains of technological processes in stoping face, geophysical state of a coal seam.
