Plant control optimization system including visual risk display

摘要

Systems and methods provided herein output an operational advisory based upon a plurality of models derived from a plurality of data, in which the plurality of models comprise at least one of a plant transfer function, a degradation contributor model, or a plant level cost model, and in which the plurality of data is derived from at least one of current plant data, historical plant data, business data, environmental data, component data, degradation contribution data, an optimization goal, or a combination thereof.

1. A system comprising:
a processor configured to: receive a plurality of data from sensors disposed in a heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) system; transform the plurality of data into a degradation contributor model via a component level transfer function; execute an advisory system configured to output an operational advisory based upon the degradation contributor model derived from the plurality of data, wherein the degradation contributor model is configured to derive a difference between a rated value of the HRSG system and a current value observed via the sensors, and to derive a rate of change of degradation of a specific component of the HRSG system, wherein the rated value comprises at least one of a temperature, a flow rate, a pressure, or a combination thereof; wherein the plurality of data is derived from at least one of current plant data, historical plant data, business data, environmental data, component data, degradation contribution data, an optimization goal, or a combination thereof, wherein the processor is configured to derive a level of risk for the occurrence of an undesired equipment event during operations of the specific component of the HRSG system disposed in an industrial plant based on a plurality of models; and wherein the processor is configured to execute a graphical user interface comprising a visual display displaying a graph on an operator screen having a current level of risk for operating the specific component, and wherein the processor is disposed in a control system configured to control the HRSG system at least in part based on the rate of change of degradation of the specific component of the HRSG system, and wherein the graph comprises a first axis representative of a time between a current time and a future time and a second axis representative of the current level of risk and a predicted level of risk.
