Steam Temperature Optimizer

GRAPH

Using an intelligent modeling tool, the SmartProcess® Steam Temperature Optimizer develops a boiler steam process model that accurately reflects the numerous interrelationships of various process issues.

Utilizing both multi-regional models and fuzzy-neural technology, the Steam Temperature Optimizer provides the most stable and accurate model for power generation.

	Process Optimization The Steam Temperature Optimizer has the ability to dynamically optimize the process at all times, even while the plant is moving through load ranges. This feature produces significant advantages over steady-state packages that are executable only when the boiler load is stable. The Steam Temperature Optimizer also coordinates superheat and reheat attemporation, pass dampers, and tilt controls.
	Online or Advisory Mode As optimal plant settings, bias signals, and setpoint adjustments are generated by the Steam Temperature Optimizer, they can be used in advisory mode, or they can be transferred directly to the distributed control system for automatic online process optimization.
	Turbine Blade Fatigue The Steam Temperature Optimizer reduces turbine blade fatigue, which provides maintenance cost savings and reduced outage requirements.

According to EPRI, the industry average
savings for a 500-MW plant with 0.5% heat rate improvement equals $200,00 annually.
