PerformanceOpt^®

PerformanceOpt is the industry’s only real-time proactive performance management system. It provides a comprehensive snapshot of unit-wide and sub-system performance using a rigorous online thermodynamics-based mass and energy balance of the entire steam cycle. In tandem, it uses online neural network models to identify and alert users to efficiency and capacity performance deviations. In addition to alerting users to issues that are keeping the unit from achieving its efficiency and capacity potential, PerformanceOpt provides diagnostic assistance tools to expedite problem identification and resolution.

PerformanceOpt provides a wealth of performance information to other NeuCo Optimizers installed on a unit, such as real-time coal quality and boiler efficiency information to CombustionOpt, boiler cleanliness targets to SootOpt and information about possible equipment problems to MaintenanceOpt.  

Benefits Include:

• Improves unit heat rate & capacity
• Reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• Enhances process health
• Shortens the issue detection-through-resolution lifecycle
• Strengthens other Optimizer benefits
• Supports multiple user profiles: high-level snapshots to deep drills
