    Abstract: A monitoring system of a combined cycle power plant having a topping cycle performed by a gas turbine and a bottoming cycle performed by a steam turbine, the monitoring system. The monitoring system includes a processor that receives a first set of data indicating a first measurement value of an operating parameter of the combined cycle power plant. The processor determines a baseline efficiency of the process based on the first measurement value using a bottoming cycle performance (BCP) model. The processor determines a threshold based on the baseline efficiency. The processor receives a second set of data indicating a second measurement value of the operating parameter. The processor compare the threshold to an operational efficiency based on the second measurement value using the BCP model, and provides an indication of a decrease in efficiency of the process if the operational efficiency is below the threshold.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a water level in a steam drum includes predicting a transient in the steam drum based on plant characteristics including steam flow from the steam drum, drum pressure in the steam drum, and one or both of a gas turbine load and a position of a bypass valve configured to control the steam flow from the steam drum to two or more steam flow conduits. The method further includes generating a sliding setpoint to control the water level based on predicting the transient in the steam drum.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) includes measuring a first regulated output of the HRSG and a second regulated output of the HRSG. The method includes comparing the first regulated output to a first setpoint defining a first target output to generate a first error signal and comparing the second regulated output to a second setpoint defining a second target output to generate a second error signal. The method also includes generating, by a controller implementing a multivariable control algorithm having as inputs the first error signal and the second error signal, control signals to control the HRSG to adjust values of the first regulated output and the second regulated output.

    Abstract: A system includes an emissions control system. The emissions control system includes a processor programmed to receive one or more selective catalytic reduction (SCR) operating conditions for an SCR system. The SCR system is included in an aftertreatment system for an exhaust stream. The processor is also programmed to receive one or more gas turbine operating conditions for a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine is configured to direct the exhaust stream into the aftertreatment system. The processor is further programmed to derive a NH3 flow to the SCR system based on an SCR model and the one or more SCR operating conditions, to derive a NO/NOx ratio, and to derive a fuel split for the gas turbine engine based on the NH3 flow, the NO/NOx ratio, or a combination thereof.
