Michael Tay, Director of Sales Engineering at Pavilion Technologies, a Rockwell Automation Company, described how Pavilion developed nonlinear control and optimization software to provide stable, robust economic performance drivers that provide optimization across multiple, occasionally conflicting objectives to obtain the highest possible performance from existing power plant equipment. He also described the Pavilion customer engagement methodology and what it means as far as reduced cost of producing a MWh of electrical or steam energy.
Implementation of the Pavilion Solution at four coal-fired boiler installations resulted in:
- 5 – 15% NOx reduction
- 2% reduction in heat rate
- Effective balancing of operational constraints and NOx
- Improving generating flexibility and up-time
- Maximizing production with all fuel types. |
