Abstract: Anoxy-combustion combined cycle power plant that includes a gas turbine engine configured to combust natural gas and pure oxygen to generate power, and configured to discharge exhaust gas consisting essentially of carbon dioxide and water therefrom. A heat recovery system of the power plant includes a fluid path that is a closed loop, the fluid path channeling a working fluid that is carbon dioxide therethrough. A first heat exchanger is coupled along the fluid path, and a turbine is coupled downstream from the first heat exchanger along the fluid path. The first heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat from the exhaust gas to the working fluid, and the turbine is configured to use the heated working fluid, received from the first heat exchanger, to generate power.

Abstract: A system for monitoring machinery and systems in a process plant using a local monitoring and diagnostic system, the system including a plant database configured to store rule sets including at least one rule expressed as at least one of a physics-based model, a data-driven model, and a empirical model of a plant component and a relational expression of a real-time data output relative to a real-time data input, and a server grade computer configured to receive plant component data from a plant unit control panel, generate virtual sensor outputs using the at least one model associated with the plant component, transmit the plant component data and generated virtual sensor outputs to the plant database for storing and to a data visualization system for generating analytical graphics, determine using the at least one model rule set, an operating or performance condition of the plant component in near real-time.
