APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING WATER CHEMISTRY OF POWER PLANT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of water chemistry data of a power plant and provide an automated technique. SOLUTION: A power plant water chemistry analysis apparatus and method rely upon water chemistry sensor to obtain power plant water chemistry data 34 characterizing the chemical activity of a power plant water system. An analytical model processor 36 is used to generate model predictions for the power plant water system. A statistical data fitting processor 38 selects screened data from the power plant water chemistry data that corresponds to the model predictions. The screened data is processed by an artificial intelligence processor 40 to derive power plant water chmistry diagnostic information 42. The artificial intelligence processor 40 includes an expert system 50, a rule base 52, a plant water chemistry system simulator 54, and a pattern recognition module 56. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
