Specialists of NBI JSC completed the implementation of an information-analytical system for power plant operation mode simulation, optimal mode planning and technical-economic performance calculation for EVRAZ's West Siberian CHPP branch.
As a result of the information-analytical system implementation, the following tasks were solved:
• Optimization algorithms and power plant technical-economic performance calculations work through a unified web interface;
• Integrated solutions with unified storage of technological and calculation data for the power plant were implemented, improving the decision-making efficiency of the production-technical department;
• Implemented heat rate incremental cost calculation functionality that enables optimal power plant loading planning based on fuel cost increase determination;
• Implemented capability for optimization calculations of remote fuel consumption indicators, enabling determination of effective plant operation strategies when planning modes for a given planning horizon;
• Implemented a "Dispatch" application that enables online monitoring of power plant operation modes in "plan-fact" format.
The project results included an economic effect evaluation, which confirmed that the target economic effect was achieved.
Customer: West Siberian CHPP JSC is part of EVRAZ.
The main industrial consumer was the West Siberian Metallurgical Plant (about 42% of thermal energy produced), with the remaining energy going to heat supply for residential areas of Zavodskoy and Novoilyinsky districts, enterprises located there, and adjacent mine areas.
