Abstract:     Systems and methods for multi-level optimization of emission levels and efficiency for a boiler system that includes creating both boiler-level models and burner-level models and receiving a plurality of boiler-level system variables. The received system variables are used along with boiler system constraints to optimize boiler-level setpoints. Once the boiler-level setpoints have been optimized they are sent to the burner level of a hierarchical control system, where they are used to optimize burner-level setpoints. Once the burner-level setpoints have been optimized they are sent to the burner control loops of the plant control system to be implemented.

First Claim:
Show all 20 claims
    1. A method of multi-level optimization of emission levels and efficiency for a boiler system, comprising:

creating boiler-level models and burner-level models;

receiving a plurality of boiler-level system variables;

optimizing boiler-level setpoints, based at least in part on the received boiler-level system variables;

thereafter deploying the optimized boiler-level setpoints to a plant control system of the boiler system;

optimizing burner-level setpoints, based at least in part on the received boiler-level setpoints; and

thereafter deploying the optimized burner-level setpoints to at least one burner control loop of the plant control system.
