Configure tab – Set Optimization Properties
To make changes to the limits and settings, you must first press the Edit button in the lower lefthand
corner of the tab. There are two ways to set these values. You can use the wizard by
pressing the Wizard button. The wizard will walk you through the setup step by step and
explaining each step along the way. If you understand all the settings you could also enter them
directly on this screen. When you are finished with your changes, pressing the Accept button
will write them to the database file.
The optimization can run based on process load or precipitator power. Almost all plants run it
based on process load. The plants that run optimization based on precipitator power typically
select this option because they must maintain a specific power level in the precipitator to burn
waste fuel. This option is selectable based on the radio buttons in the upper left portion of the
screen.
The Max Load Change field sets the percentage change in load since the start of optimization
that will cause optimization to abort and restart the program from the beginning. This parameter
is checked continuously and will abort at any time while optimization is running. This parameter is
only used when optimization is based on process load.
The Max Step Load Change field sets the percentage change in load since the start of the
current optimization program step that will cause optimization to abort and restart the program
from the beginning. This parameter is checked at the end of a step and will only abort at the end
of a step. This parameter is only used when optimization is based on process load.
