Abstract:
A method is provided for deriving optimized operating parameter settings for industrial furnaces of different designs as commonly used in power generation that will achieve robust and desirable operations (for example, low NOx and low CO emissions while maintaining specific furnace exit gas temperatures). The method includes the application of recursive partitioning algorithms to historical process data to identify critical combinations of ranges of operational parameter (combinations of settings) that will result in robust (low-variability) desirable (optimized) boiler performance, based on empirical evidence in the historical data. The method may include the application of various algorithms for recursive partitioning of data, as well as the consecutive application of recursive partitioning methods to prediction residuals of previous models (a methodology also known as boosting), as well as the application of other prediction algorithms that rely on the partitioning of data (support vector machines, naive Bayes classifiers, k-nearest neighbor methods).
