Using CEMS data to estimate instantaneous heat rate

摘要

Work was done at American Electric Power's Gavin Plant (two 1300 MW supercritical pulverized-coal units with wet scrubbing for flue gas desulfurization) to use data from the continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) to provide instantaneous heat rate values for plant engineers and operators. This work was done as part of Project Probe 1996, American Electric Power's summer intern program, under the supervision of AEP and Gavin Plant engineers.
