METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENHANCING CONTROL OF POWER PLANT GENERATING UNITS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method for optimizing an operation of a power plant fleet.SOLUTION: The power plant fleet may include multiple operating configurations differentiated by a manner in which assets are engaged. The method may include the steps of: sensing and collecting measured values of operating parameters for operation of each of the assets; tuning asset models so as to configure a tuned asset model for each of the assets; simulating proposed operating configurations of the power plant fleet using the tuned asset models; and obtaining simulation results from each of the simulation runs, each of the simulation results including a predicted value for a performance indicator.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
