Abstract:

Systems and methods for power plant data reconciliation are provided. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a system may include a controller and a processor in communication with the controller. The processor may be configured to run a power plant under a plurality of operational conditions. While the power plant is running, the processor may be configured to automatically collect operational data associated with the power plant. The collected data may be stored in a predefined location. Furthermore, the processor may be configured to select stable data from the operational data to coincide with output data associated with a power plant model. One or more parameters of the power plant model may be modified, and at least one difference may be minimized between the output data associated with the power plant model and a measured value in the power plant operational data. At least one control action for a power plant component using the power plant model may be determined
