摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for advising and operating a power plant and related devices. In an embodiment, a power plant operator via a client 135 requests from a server 115 advisory information regarding a current power plant startup. The client 135 may receive custom advisory information based on data of an initial state of the power plant and data from past power plant startups.
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.
摘要:
A method of forming a failure estimate for one or more components of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) includes forming from failure models and at least one of fired hours and fired starts, factored hours and factored starts. The factored hours and/or starts are applied to failure equations for the one or more components to form the failure estimate.
摘要:
A turbine performance diagnostic system creates a performance report for one or more turbines and includes an assessment module that receives operating data from at least one turbine and produces a performance report from the operating data. The assessment module includes a change detection module configured to determine when at least one parameter has changed beyond an associated threshold and generate an alarm and a root cause analyzer coupled to the change detection module that predicts a root cause of the alarm utilizing a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN). The performance report includes an indication of the predicted root cause.
摘要:
A system for creating a risk analysis for at least one turbomachine includes a database storing characteristics of one or more turbomachines and a processing module coupled to the database that receives the characteristics from the database and creates the risk analysis. The processing module includes a modeling module that creates a representation of the amount of rocking in a particular turbomachine based on the characteristics and a performance modeler coupled to the modeling module and that, based on the representation of the amount of rocking, creates the risk analysis.
摘要:
A system for creating an inspection or part replacement recommendation for a unit forming a part of a fleet includes an assessment module that receives inputs from at least one portion of at least one turbine and produces an inspection recommendation. The assessment module includes a health assessment module that creates a risk of event estimate based on the inputs and historical operations data and a performance analyzer coupled to the health assessment module that creates the inspection or part replacement recommendation based on the risk of event estimate and information related to a cost.
摘要:
A system for creating a financial risk model for at least one turbine includes a database storing operational characteristics of one or more turbines and a processing module coupled to the database that receives information from the database and creates the financial risk determination. The processing module includes a performance degradation modeler that receives performance data and creates a model there from and a financial risk calculator coupled to the performance modeler that determines financial exposure to a contract based on the model received from the performance modeler.
摘要:
A method for continuously monitoring the working condition of a heat recovery steam generator (“HRSG”) using infrared thermography, comprising the steps of identifying target locations inside the HRSG, positioning one or more infrared cameras to continuously monitor and record the temperature at each target location, generating continuous thermographic images corresponding to selected components and locations at each target locations, comparing the continuous thermographic images to corresponding, stored base line images and generating a set of comparative data reports in real time for each target location in order to predict the life span or potential failure of HRSG components.
