Combined cycle plant duct burner optimization using NeuCO software
GE Neuco has used the approach in coal fired boilers to optimize the use of duct burners in a gas turbine combined cycle system at the Independence Station of Dynergy. This 1000 MW plant uses duct burners which add 88 MW of capacity. Process Link predicts maximum likely demand in the next 30 minutes and then adds only enough duct burner fuel to offset the shortfall in case of maximum likely demand. Dynamic modeling avoids over-shooting and under-shooting. It predicts true combined cycle capability without duct burners and enables users to specify how certain they want to be that they will meet demand.
