December 16, 2008 - Honeywell’s Process Solutions business announced its Advanced Energy Solutions, a suite of process control, monitoring and optimization applications designed specifically for industrial power generation facilities. The Advanced Energy Solutions suite allows industrial power and cogeneration plants to balance electricity generation demands with operational efficiencies and regulatory constraints.
By implementing Advanced Energy Solutions, industrial power generation facilities will benefit from reduced heat rate and power production costs, increased effective boiler operating range, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, optimized production capacity utilization, optimized transient states control, extended production asset life and reduced maintenance.The solution fully integrates with the Honeywell Experion Process Knowledge System, as well as other distributed control systems (DCS). Software applications available as part of the suite include Advanced Combustion Control, Plant Performance Optimizer, Master Pressure Control, Plant Performance Monitor and Tie-Line Control.
These applications have common architecture, compatible interfaces and can be implemented individually or as a completely integrated solution in order to maximize the process optimization benefit. “Whether in emerging markets or the developed world, producing energy economically and efficiently and meeting regulatory requirements for greenhouse gas reduction are primary needs for industrial power generators,” said Jack Bolick, president of Honeywell Process Solutions.
“This suite of solutions will help industrial power generators to operate reliably, maximizing efficiency and productivity while minimizing environmental impact.”Honeywell Process Solutions has more than four decades of power generation experience and has delivered state-of-the-art control systems and services to power generation facilities in more than 50 countries. Honeywell’s control systems support reliable and efficient operation of electric utilities, co-generation, clean power and industrial power plants.
