Emerson awarded contract by Glow Group of Thailand to optimize three cogeneration and utility plants
Emerson Process Management has been awarded a contract by the Glow Group to improve operational and economic performance of their cogeneration and utility plants across three separate sites at Rayong, Thailand. Glow Group is a subsidiary of Suez-Tractebel and is the largest privately owned power producer in Thailand. Emerson will use its AMS(TM) Suite: Real-Time Optimizer, a key technology of PlantWeb® digital plant architecture, to optimize and deliver maximum economic return from available assets.
The adoption of AMS Optimizer will enable the Glow Group to constantly manage the profitability of their assets in real time. AMS Optimizer will determine the most fuel-efficient operation from generation of optimum equipment setpoints for electricity and steam loads for all Rayong facilities. It will also provide capabilities for equipment selection optimization, equipment performance calculations and key performance indicators to quantify the effect of equipment degradation for all major areas of plant operation.
The AMS Optimizer also provides Glow Group with the ability to analyze "look-ahead" scenarios. This allows users to foresee and understand the effects of changes to ambient conditions, equipment availability and electricity and steam load profiles, thus allowing operators to make short, medium and long-term operational planning decisions.
