OSTI ID:7239240
A closed-loop expert system for supervisory control is described. The expert system, called ThermoPlus, is designed to help improve heat rates in a power plant, and is tested on a research, solar/fossil pilot plant. This paper describes the management of the project, including problem selection, controlling problem size, and designing the knowledge base. Initial results form running the expert system on line (but not closed-loop) are included.
