Input/Loss
Method
A
major limitation of coal-fired performance monitoring is the lack of
real understanding of fuel chemistry, its heating value and coal
flow. Without real-time values for such information,
real-time boiler efficiency and system heat rates are not
possible. Exergetic Systems provides Real Fuel in
Real-Time with its Input/Loss Method.
Why Fuel Chemistry?->
Input/Loss is a premier performance monitoring system which allows
plant personnel to know their system. Input/Loss
determines over 2000 plant parameters
in real-time.

Input/Loss is truly an integrated approach, integrating thermal
performance with emissions. For the first time, accurate
emission flows are obtained fully consistent with system efficiency.
Errors have been demonstrated at less than +/-0.5%.
A
single personal computer, the Calculational Engine executes the
Input/Loss Method and produces a continuous stream of real-time
performance information and engineering reports. Operators displays
are then presented through the plant DCS via its data highway,
historian and graphics packages.
The Calculational Engine identifies heat rate degradations within
the system with each Engine "revolution". The Engine revolutions are
selected by the engineer, but typically set to run once every 3
minutes operating on 15 minute running averages of plant data.
Input/Loss quantifies fuel usage through its Fuel Consumption
Indices (FCIs). FCIs tell the plant why fuel is being consumed and
specifically which components and processes are thermodynamically
responsible for fuel consumption; given either their direct creation
of electricity or their contribution to thermodynamic losses.

Input/Loss, with its high resolution of plant stoichiometrics, is
able to rapidly detect tube failures and their location! Rapid
detection reduces damage, minimizes degraded heat rate and minimizes
repair time thus saving millions of dollars.
