The presented simulation model for technological processes in power and utility supply and environmental management at CherMK of PAO Severstal, based on AnyLogic software, was discussed. The primary objectives included forecasting the needs for various energy resources over a specified period, considering the strategic business plan, energy balances, and CO2 emissions calculator. The model also aimed to simulate the volumes of CO2 emissions for all equipment considered, calculate the price of energy resources, and estimate potential production losses. The simulation model incorporated various energy resources, such as natural gas, compressed air, oxygen, water, electric power, coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, and converter gas. Equipment operation was depicted based on the maintenance, repair, and operation (MOR) schedule. This developed simulation model serves as a tool for modeling variations in the volume of raw materials or finished products. It can be used to create portfolios for strategic investment programs, explore development scenarios, and determine optimal values for consumed and produced resources. Furthermore, it helps to assess the need to purchase appropriate resources and calculate economic indicators. The model allows energy balances to be generated, along with visualizing variations in CO2 emissions levels with the introduction of new production facilities.
