摘要： Systems and methods for multi-level optimization of emission levels and efficiency for a boiler system that includes creating both boiler-level models and burner-level models and receiving a plurality of boiler-level system variables. The received system variables are used along with boiler system constraints to optimize boiler-level setpoints. Once the boiler-level setpoints have been optimized they are sent to the burner level of a hierarchical control system, where they are used to optimize burner-level setpoints. Once the burner-level setpoints have been optimized they are sent to the burner control loops of the plant control system to be implemented.

摘要： A system and a method for transferring data in an emission-monitoring system from a first computer to a second computer are provided. The method includes generating a first message containing a first software variable having a first site-specific value that is transmitted from the first computer to the second computer. The first site-specific value is indicative of whether one of a fault event, a maintenance event, or a calibration event associated with the first computer has occurred. The method further includes receiving the first message at the second computer, the second computer storing the first site-specific value in a first record of a first database. The first record is associated with the first software variable. The method further includes determining whether the first site-specific value indicates that an event has occurred. Finally, the method includes if the first site-specific value indicates that an event has occurred, then generating a second software variable having both a first predetermined name and a value equal to a first standardized value indicating that an event has occurred, else generating a third software variable having both the first predetermined name and a value equal to a second standardized value indicating that an event has not occurred.

摘要： A method and system of obtaining a spatially representative sample of fluid flowing through a duct comprises providing a sample probe having a plurality of inlet ports in the duct, controlling a back pressure within the sample probe so that the back pressure within the sample probe at each inlet port is the same, and receiving a sample portion of the fluid into the plurality of inlet ports. The back pressure may be equal to a static pressure of an outlet portion of the duct. The back pressure may be controlled by venting the sample probe to atmosphere, using a pressure regulator connected to the sample probe or venting to an opening in a wall of an outlet portion of the duct. A cross sectional area of the sample probe may be at least ten times larger than a sum of respective cross sectional areas of the inlet ports.
