Automated system for Equipment Energy Efficiency Monitoring in Heat Energy Facility

Here we discuss the procedure of the automated monitoring, consisting in the estimation of the current equipment's heat saving reserves in accordance with operation data.The estimation of heat saving reserves of power station equipment is the necessary condition for achieving the fuel resources saving at adjustment operations, energy monitoring and in during equipment operation. The automation of the heat saving reserves estimation provides: increase the objectivity of the estimation; make the real-time process, including the current estimation within the given automated process control system; point out the reasons for equipment efficiency decrease.The central point for estimation of heat saving reserves is the automated implementation of equipment heat saving efficiency database. Results of identification of boilers power efficiency characteristics and modeling of turbine power efficiency characteristics are given in reference to power plants of the iron and steel works.The article presents the methodological guide for implementation of information data base of equipment heat saving potential indexes in reference to power plants.The developed software provides the automated maintenance of the information database for the indexes of the electric power plant equipment heat saving procedure. The designed utility programs for identification of boiler power efficiency characteristics and the modeling of turbine power efficiency characteristics.
