An application of the EPRI plant monitoring workstation to thermal and electrical energy cogeneration optimization
The savings associated with optimization of power generation and cogeneration facilities are large, and readily justify the hardware and software costs required for implementation of Energy Management Optimization Systems (EMOS). The objective of such systems is to minimize the total operating costs for specified steam and/or power load profiles, including the purchase of external power and/or steam, with internal self-generation equipment. The EPRI Plant Monitoring Workstation (PMW) [1] has been used as a calculation platform for a large industrial cogeneration optimization application. The versatile and flexible features of PMW provide the functional capabilities for calculations, data processing and storage and retrieval of data necessary for this on-line optimization system.
