METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENHANCING CONTROL OF POWER PLANT GENERATING UNITS

摘要

A control method (800) for optimizing an operation of a power plant fleet. The power plant fleet may include multiple operating configurations differentiated by a manner in which assets (802) are engaged. The method may include the steps of: sensing and collecting (803) measured values of the operating parameters for the operating of each of the assets; tuning asset models (805) so to configure a tuned asset model for each of the assets (802); 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.
