Currently, the largest cost to produce electricity at Suralaya Steam Power Plant is the cost of coal consumption, which affects the
selling price of electricity per kWh. Saving coal consumption is the strong motivation for Suralaya steam power plantto achieve
maximum operational efficiency. Suralaya Steam Power Plant have 7 units of coal fired power plants, connect in parallel order and
operate at maximum capacity, to ensure reliability to supply electricity to consumer as the main priority rather than efficiency.
An optimal combination in operating the plants and loading operation scheduling in the most economic fashion using equal
incremental rates method will save coal consumption significantly. The method will use second-order polynomial equations, and
linear approach by deriving the second-order polynomial equation. The solution from equal incremental rates method will yield the
most economical operation schedule of Suralaya steam power plantin order to save coal consumption. In this study, we utilize the
highest load at 3197 MW generated from 7,561,479,246 kcal/hour coal consumption. After optimization using the equal
incremental rates method, we found that coal consumption can be reduced to 7,486,155,768 kcal/hour, which means we save
75,323,478 kcal/hour of coal consumption. Since average coal energy is 5100 kcal/kg, the optimization using equal incremental
rates saves us 14.77 ton of coal per hour if compared to the real operation system of Suralaya steam power plant at the same time.

From Figure 4 above we can see that the priority which = 1201.378 + (3.743 x 370) + (0.007 x 3702 )
yields maximum saving on coal consumption cost is in the = 3652 MBTU/hours
following order: Unit 7, Unit 5, Unit 6, and Units 1, 2, 3, 4. C5 = 1873.087 + 1.063P5 + 0.0065P52 MBTU/hours
= 1873.087 + (1.063 x 582) + (0.0065 x 5822 )

C7 = 739.176 + 4.512P7 + 0.004P72 MBTU/hours

Total coal consumption for Surayala steam power plant is
CTotal = C2 + C4 + C5 + C6 + C7
= 3999.5 + 3544.6 + 4693.5 + 4705.8 + 4961.1
