First experience with steam generator diagnostic systems and neuronal networks at RWE energy AG

摘要

With the aid of diagnosis systems installed at three reference plants it is possible to support an economic and trouble-free operation of steam generator plants. The steam generator diagnostic systems analyse and assess momentary plant conditions by means of thermodynamic recalculation. They can deploy boiler cleaning devices in a targeted and optimised manner. Subsequent to the present optimisation runs for different coal charges, the control of boiler cleaning devices is to become automatic. Diagnostic systems and optimisation software on the basis of neural networks can additionally be used for optimisation of the entire process.
