Real-time online monitoring for maintaining energy efficiency performance of power generation system

This paper aims to perform research in the area of advanced operation optimization, especially in the power generation system. The paper aims to propose a new framework for using the real-time online operation parameter indicator data acquired by the Distributed Control System (DCS) for maintaining energy efficiency performance indicators. There are many opportunities for supporting the controllable losses for every single operation parameter indicator. In practically, by using real-time online monitoring, the frontline operator can perform maneuvering directly. And finally, the Net Plant Heat Rate (NPHR) as one of the energy efficiency performance indicators can be maintained.
