AI Solution Enables Gas Fired Power Plants to Achieve Flexible Generation

Adex WE.jpg

The growth of intermittent renewable energy is forcing CCGT power plants to increase flexibility to stay competitive and ensure grid reliability. The pressure on CCGT plants to operate in a flexible mode is accelerating ramp rates and extending minimum load operation. Load cycling, frequent startups, and shutdowns introduce unforeseen stresses that accelerate the wear and tear of the plant’s hardware and reduce performance & asset life expectancy.

Topics presented in the webinar will include:

  • Addressing load changes, startup flexibility, and ramping rate constraints in CCGT plants

  • Applying the Self-tuning AI platform to improve thermal efficiency, increase flexibility, and reduce emissions in gas power plants

  • Real CCGT cases highlighting a 175% increased ramping rate or 0.5% reduction in heat rate with a huge reduction of thermal stress

  • Payback & ROI considerations
