Embodiment Construction

[0022] Computer-based digital automatic control systems, which now exist in many power plants, allow near continuous monitoring and control of plant performance by monitoring all performance parameters (or losses) on-line and by allowing direct operator supervision and supervision. Improvements in the quality of measurement equipment and tools have also greatly eased the tasks of periodic heat rate testing and warranty. However, the high-quality nature of automated distributed control systems (DCS) linked to common optimization systems (which act in place of the operator during normal unit operations) has reduced the possibility of obtaining simple exponential improvements in efficiency. To this end, the main task of performance monitoring can now be changed to the actual detection of possible losses associated with operating a particular generating unit in a market-based generation allocation.

[0023] To this end, a new method of implementing power plant performance monitori...

Abstract

A method of controlling a thermodynamic process is disclosed. The method comprises operating the process according to a first operational state for a first period of time, determining performance parameter values of the process during the first period of time, determining a performance parameter statistical value from the performance parameter values, and evaluating the performance parameter statistical value to determine a change in an operating parameter of the first operational state.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This patent application is based on the duly filed application entitled "Statistical Analysis in Power Plant Performance" U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 894,339, filed March 12, 2007, and claims that Priority Benefit of the US Provisional Patent Application, the entire disclosure of the US Provisional Patent Application is hereby expressly incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] This patent relates generally to the control and implementation of power generation devices in power plants including, for example, turbine-based power plant systems or other steam power plant systems. Background technique [0004] A variety of industrial and non-industrial applications use fuel-powered boilers that convert chemical energy into thermal energy, typically by burning one of a variety of fuels such as coal, gas, oil, waste, and the like. An exemplary application of a fuel-powered boiler is in a thermal power generator, where th...
