    摘要: In accordance with one aspect of the present technique, a method is disclosed. The method includes modifying one or more operational parameters of a gas turbine (GT) to increase an exhaust gas temperature above a standard start-up temperature. The method also includes receiving at least one of GT operational data, heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) operational data, and steam turbine (ST) operational data from a plurality of sensors. The method further includes predicting a ST roll-off time based on at least one of the GT operational data, the HRSG operational data, and the ST operational data. The method further includes modifying the one or more operational parameters of the GT to satisfy one or more ST roll-off permissives at the predicted ST roll-off time.

    摘要: Provided is a system and method for determining the state estimate of a power grid by dividing the power grid into smaller sub-sections, generating state estimates for each sub-section, and then generating a consensus among the sub-sections. In one example, the method may include partitioning a section of the power distribution grid into a plurality of sub-sections based on loads distributed within the section of the power distribution grid, generating a plurality of state estimates for the plurality of sub-sections based on load distribution within the plurality of sub-sections and a Kalman Filter model, generating an aggregate state estimate for the section of the power distribution grid based on an aggregate of the plurality of state estimates and a boundary consensus between the plurality of sub-sections from a previous state estimation, and displaying data about the aggregate state estimate via a user interface.

    摘要: A dispatch optimization system leverages ambient and market forecast data as well as asset performance and parts-life models to generate recommended operating schedules for gas turbines or other power-generating plant assets that substantially maximize profit while satisfying parts-life constraints. The system generates operating profiles that balance optimal peak fire opportunities with optimal cold part-load opportunities within a maintenance interval or other operating horizon. To reduce the computational burden associated with generating the profit-maximizing operating profile, the system uses an estimated price of life value that accounts for creation (by cold part-loading) and exhaustion (by peak fire operation) of factored fired hour credits by means of computing the cost of such credits.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a system, method and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided comprising a memory storing processor-executable steps; and a processor to execute the processor-executable steps to cause the system to: receive a first data value of a plurality of data values from a data store, wherein the first data value is from a digital twin model of an industrial asset; determine, via a vulnerability module, whether the received at least one data value is a near boundary case or not a near boundary case; in a case it is determined the first data value is a near boundary case, generate one or more adversarial samples for the first data value; input each of the one or more adversarial samples to the digital twin model; execute the digital twin model to output a system response for each input adversarial sample; determine whether the system response to each input adversarial sample has a negative impact; in a case it is determined the system response has a negative impact for a given input adversarial sample, update a trained attack detection model with the given input adversarial sample; and generate a second decision boundary based on the updated trained attack detection model. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: A dispatch optimization system leverages ambient and market forecast data as well as asset performance and parts-life models to generate recommended operating schedules for gas turbines or other power-generating plant assets that substantially maximize profit while satisfying parts-life constraints. The system generates operating profiles that balance optimal peak fire opportunities with optimal cold part-load opportunities within a maintenance interval or other operating horizon. During real-time operation of the assets, the optimization system can update the operating schedule based on actual market, ambient, and operating data. The system provides information that can assist operators in determining suitable conditions in which to cold part-load or peak-fire the assets in an optimally profitable manner without violating target life constraints.

    摘要: A method of operating a waste water treatment plant (WWTP) having at least one of an aerobic digester (AD) and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) is described. The method of operating AD is comprised of monitoring and controlling AD in real-time using an online extended Kalman filter (EKF) having a online dynamic model of AD. The EKF uses real-time AD measured data, and online dynamic model of AD to update adapted model parameters and estimate model based inferred variables for AD, which are used for AD control by AD control system having supervisory and low-level control layers. The method of operating MBR is similar to that of AD. The supervisory control ensures the WWTP satisfying the effluent quality requirement while minimize the operation cost. A WWTP having at least one of an AD or MBR is disclosed. The method of operating a WWTP can be implemented using a computer.
