Investigators from Lehigh University and Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO) are involved in the development of boiler tuning techniques for NO{sub x} control and performance optimization. Key to this effort is the availability of EPRI`s Plant Monitoring Workstation (PMW) in utilizing plant data to establish optimal operating conditions and maintain low-NO{sub x} operation over the long term. The various ways in which PMW has been used to characterize the boiler will be described. In addition, future developments with respect to sootblow optimization and a NO{sub x}/performance advisor will be discussed.
