DISPATCH ADVISOR TO ASSIST IN SELECTING OPERATING CONDITIONS OF POWER PLANT THAT MAXIMIZES OPERATIONAL REVENUE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18389447 titled 'DISPATCH ADVISOR TO ASSIST IN SELECTING OPERATING CONDITIONS OF POWER PLANT THAT MAXIMIZES OPERATIONAL REVENUE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a dispatch advisor for a power plant that helps in selecting operating conditions to maximize operational revenue. The advisor uses a base load map to determine the optimal operating space for the power plant to meet power demands efficiently.
- The dispatch advisor helps in selecting operating conditions for a power plant to maximize operational revenue.
- It uses a base load map to identify the primary base load operating space and an expanded base load portion for achieving higher power output.
- The advisor can transform the base load map into visualizations to show revenue possibilities based on operating values and power output.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in the energy sector to optimize the operation of power plants and maximize revenue generation.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient selection of operating conditions for power plants. 2. Maximizing operational revenue through optimal power output.
Benefits
1. Increased revenue generation for power plant operators. 2. Improved efficiency in meeting power demands.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing power plant operations for increased profitability.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing systems or methods for optimizing power plant operations, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the dispatch advisor handle unexpected changes in power demand?
The abstract does not mention how the technology adapts to sudden fluctuations in power demand.
What data sources are used to generate the base load map?
The abstract does not specify the sources of data used to create the base load map for the power plant.
Original Abstract Submitted
A dispatch advisor to assist in selecting operating conditions of a power plant that maximizes operational revenue is described. The dispatch advisor obtains a base load map for operating the power plant to meet base load power demands. The base load map includes a primary base load operating space for attaining target plant power output and efficiency, and an expanded base load portion for attaining higher plant power output and less than optimal efficiency. Both the primary base load operating space and the expanded base load portion associate power output and efficiency values of the power plant that result from a subset of operational parameter values for operating the power plant during base load. The dispatch advisor can transform the flexible base load map into one or more visualizations describing the revenue possibilities associated with operating the power plant based on operating values and attained power output and efficiency.
