Abstract: This invention allows users to set different alarm conditions and data storage criteria for multiple data points based on the operating modes (states) of their machinery. The users will also be able to selectively view the collected data based on the machinery states.

Abstract: A method of generating NOx curves over a range of load points includes obtaining current measurements from a respective sensor and validating the current measurements. A plurality of input curves are generated using predefined inputs for each load point. The plurality of input curves include a first set point curve and a second set point curve, where the second setpoint curve includes the first setpoint curve offset with the current measurements. A plurality of NOx curves are generated including a design curve, an adjusted design curve, and a NOx generation curve created by a neural model. The second setpoint curve is passed through the neural model to derive the NOx generation curve. After validating the NOx generation curve and adjusted design curve, one of the plurality of NOx curves is outputted.

Abstract: A method, system, and article of manufacture such as software media is disclosed for creating a text input file and a text output file according to the requirements of a power generation party.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture such as software media for creating projected power production data are disclosed. The method may comprise storing historical heat rate data and historical process information for at least one power generation unit in a historical heat rate database. The method may also comprise retrieving the historical heat rate data from the database for a selected time interval and correcting the historical rate data using correction factors which may be based on differences between the historical process information and projected process information; and creating a projected cost or a projected price for a future time interval based on the retrieved historical heat rate data.

Abstract: A method of generating emission curves over a range of load points includes obtaining current measurements from a respective sensor. The current measurements are validated and a plurality of emission curves using predefined inputs for each load point are generated. The plurality of emission curves includes an emission design curve and a corresponding real time incremental emission curve. Each corresponding real time incremental emission curve and emission design curve are validated to generate a validated emission curve. An incremental emission cost curve using each validated emission curve for each type of emission is generated. Each incremental emission cost curve is summed if there is more than one incremental emission cost curve.
