OVERVIEW
The growth of intermittent renewable energy is forcing CCGT power plants to increase flexibility to stay competitive and ensure grid reliability. The pressure on CCGT plants to operate in a flexible mode is accelerating ramp rates and extending minimum load operation. Load cycling, frequent startups, and shutdowns introduce unforeseen stresses that accelerate the wear and tear of the plant’s hardware and reduce performance & asset life expectancy.
ADEX Self-tuning AI technology can help fix these pain points caused by the non-design operating conditions. It has been proven on several CCGT power plants in Europe and Asia and is now arriving in the US with compelling performance data.
In this informative webinar, Jose Martínez, CEO of ADEX, will discuss applications of the AI platform on CCGT power plants. He will be joined by Enrico Falesiedi, Head of Gas Operations of ENEL, the world's second-largest utility by market cap, who will share his views on the role of CCGT power plants and how ADEX's AI solution helped improve the plant's thermal efficiency, flexibility and emissions footprint.
Specific topics addressed include:
Addressing load changes, startup flexibility, and ramping rate constraints in CCGT plants
Applying the Self-tuning AI platform to improve thermal efficiency, increase flexibility, and reduce emissions in gas power plants
Real CCGT cases highlighting a 175% increased ramping rate or 0.5% reduction in heat rate with a huge reduction of thermal stress
