Conservation of resources for highest efficiency and proper control of a dynamically changing heat engine are necessary for the continued and future success of power plant operations. Modern tools like on-line coal analysis can help the plant operators maintain balance and optimize the return on investment. Today, almost all utility boiler operators are "flying blind" due to the absence of coal chemistry data in real time. The incorporation of online coal analysis into computerized optimization systems has also lagged behind. Our goal is to promote and facilitate the integration of online coal analysis into boiler controls and power plant optimization systems and to help the industry synthesize a vision of the use of online coal analysis in today's competitive utility market environment.
