A mixed integer programming model for long term capacity expansion planning: A case study from The Hunter Valley Coal Chain

The Hunter Valley Coal Chain is the largest coal export operation in the world with a throughput in excess of 100 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). Coal is delivered to the shipping terminal from 40 mines using 27 coal load points spread across the Hunter Valley region. This paper describes an MILP m...
