This paper describes the on-line economic optimization routine developed by Enter Software, Inc. for application at the heating and cooling plant for the JFK International Airport near New York City. The objective of the economic optimization is to find the optimum plant configuration (which gas turbines to run, power levels of each gas turbine, duct firing levels, which auxiliary water heaters to run, which electric chillers to run, and which absorption chillers to run) which produces maximum net income at the plant as plant loads and the prices vary. The routines also include a planner which runs a series of optimizations over multiple plant configurations to simulate the varying plant operating conditions for the purpose of predicting the overall plant results over a period of time.
