techniques. Since this model has not been used as an optimiser within the current project,
the obvious conflict between the ESP and GNOCIS boiler recommendation for the excess
oxygen has not been resolved. The excess oxygen is an important parameter in both
models and thus it is not obvious that the conflict can be removed by omitting a
recommendation for the parameter from one of the models.
E.ON UK is currently developing an ESP optimisation model under DTI Project P330.
This model will not require a coal analysis as input but will use readily available plant and
ESP data to optimise the performance of the ESP in terms of flue gas additive, power and
opacity.
