Identification of the Efficient Manufacturing Characteristics

This work deals with the issue of enhancing the efficiency of utilization of power generating resources at industrial enterprises. It is only possible to solve this task based on the optimization of operating modes of power generating equipment. Optimization of the equipment modes is performed using manufacturing characteristics which reflect model approximations of the processes of equipment in operation. It is expedient to emphasize the need to apply individual characteristics of specific units of equipment. One of the baseline approaches to building such characteristics is the use of method of generalized power balance. This work sets out the key provisions of this approach. It also describes the method of determination of optimal manufacturing characteristics of power generating equipment using the testing and operational data. This determination of characteristics is performed using the criterion of the minimum of mean-root square error with the optimal choice of weights. An example for determination of efficiency of operation of power generative equipment based on this method is provided in this work. The results of various studies suggest that the method developed enables to quickly identify reduction of efficiency indicators of power generating equipment using automated systems of manufacturing process management. At the same time, operating personnel receive the necessary information in order to made decisions on adjustment of operating modes. This approach will help enhance the efficiency of power generating equipment.
