Monitoring enhances decision-making and extends service life

摘要

Automation suppliers can help with applications that enable economic life-cycle optimisation of power plant. As one of the key components, boiler performance and maintenance planning has to be adapted to today's commercial requirements. Today's power plant function with continual output changes on a day-today basis. For boilers, this means a constant need to operate in multiple modes, thus exposing components to demands far beyond their design criteria. Integrated automation & information applications provide plant with tools for better maintenance management and optimised operation. Monitoring applications, such as boiler performance and boiler life, ensure real-time knowledge concerning the operational efficiency and exhaustion levels of different boiler components.
