Self-Tuning Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology Enables Coal & Gas Power Plants Achieve Flexible Generation

OVERVIEW

REQUEST FOR ACCESS FORM BELOW

The rise in renewable generation (wind + solar) presents new operating challenges for fossil fueled fired power plants. Renewable penetration leads to increased cycling and load following (varying levels of output) operation at fossil‐fueled units. Existing coal & gas power plants must address flexibility and emission compliance issues to maintain dispatchability.

Now offering Certificates of Completion for all our Webinars.

These challenges have led to a new proven approach to traditional PID/DCS control systems using adaptive controls with industrial plug-and-play features in a layered architecture that does not require Big Data or Machine Learning.

ADEX's patented disruptive control technology incorporates a Self-Tuning Artificial Intelligence Platform that adjusts design parameters to improve operating flexibility without introducing added operating risk. This Self-Tuning AI adjusts the control system parameters in real time to compensate for changes in the operating conditions. The ADEX Self-Tuning Artificial Intelligence Platform predicts the evolution of the process variables, driving and stabilizing them in their optimal operating points boosting performance and increasing safety, availability, reliability and profitability of the unit.

In this informative webinar, Jose Martínez, CEO of ADEX, will discuss an energized AI platform that does not require additional investment on equipment or I&C. 

Roy Reid, Plant Manager of Bizkaia Energia, will share his views on the technology on their CCGT and will join the webinar for a panel discussion.

Specific topics addressed include:            

  • Applying the self-tuning AI platform to improve thermal efficiency, increase flexibility, and reduce emissions in coal, gas, biomass and WTE power plants

  • Addressing load changes, start-up flexibility, and ramping rate constraints in CCGT plants

  • Case study highlighting a 150% increased ramping rate with a 25% decrease in Minimum Load Point at Bizkaia Energia, a 786 MW CCGT plant

  • Payback & ROI considerations

Attendees are encouraged to ask questions which will be covered during the Q&A session of the webinar.
