Synthetic Evaluation for Operating Economy of Thermal Power Plant Based on SVM and Quick Sort Algorithm

In view of the situation that the single index of net coal consumption rate can not evaluate the operating economy of thermal power plant in all sides, a comprehensive index system is established and a synthetic evaluation model based on support vector machine (SVM) and quick sort algorithm is presented. Then experiments are made by using the real data from thermal power plants and the sequence of them is obtained ultimately. The results show that the model proposed has simple operation and high accuracy, and comparing with BP network, SVM shows better performance in the condition of few data.
