Application: Dispatch advisor to assist in selecting operating conditions of power plant that maximizes operational revenue (Patent ID: US20240095623A1)
The patent filed by General Electric Co. describes a dispatch advisor system for power plants that assists in selecting operating conditions to maximize operational revenue. The system obtains a flexible load map that includes a primary load operating space for target power output and efficiency, as well as an expanded load portion for higher power output with less optimal efficiency. By partitioning the load map into operating segments and considering market conditions, the system determines revenue possibilities and generates visualizations to guide the selection of optimum operating conditions. The system can automatically adjust operational parameters of the gas turbine based on the revenue analysis.
The method and system outlined in the patent claims involve obtaining a flexible load map for a power plant, partitioning it into operating segments, determining revenue based on market conditions, and generating visualizations to guide decision-making. The system includes interactive features such as slider scales for adjusting operational parameters and input/output buttons for data entry. By analyzing revenue possibilities and considering factors like capacity payments, fuel expenses, and carbon taxes, the system helps operators optimize power plant performance for maximum revenue generation. Additionally, the patent describes a computer-readable medium with executable instructions to control power plant operation based on the flexible load map and revenue analysis, enabling automatic adjustments to operational parameters for revenue maximization.
