N.V. NUON Energy operates a combined cycle power plant with a nominal electrical output of 3 x 450 MW in Eemshaven (Netherlands). To optimise the economic efficiency of plant operation, Dornier was commissioned to install a process quality monitoring system on Block 10.
The aim is to detect deviations and changes in the process and remedy them at an early stage in order to reduce plant operating costs. The evaluation is carried out by continuously comparing actual and reference data. For this purpose, a process model of the plant was created using the EBSILON Professional® simulation software, a plant-specific reference state was stored and a system for online calculation with current operating measurement data was configured. In addition, the monitoring of process parameters was set up with the aid of a tool for statistical process control.
