Advanced Cogeneration Control, Optimization, and Management: A Case Study

Show full item recordAbstract
The performance of cogeneration power
plants can now be assessed on line in real
time using a distributed microprocessor-based
data acquisition and control
system. A representative implementation
is described for cogeneration power in a
food processing plant. The COPA
(COgeneration Performance Assessment)
package comprises separate, distributed
control modules for data input, performance
analysis for each plant device,
overall plant performance summary, and
operator displays. Performance of each of
the respective cogeneration devices is
assessed relative to a performance model
of the device, thus an accurate assessment
of performance is provided under all load
conditions. Operator displays provide
real time depiction of the performance of
each device and the overall plant
performance. Deterioration of performance
of a device is quantified in terms of the
cost of additional fuel requirements
and/or the value of power not produced.
