Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the scheduling of maintenance actions such as washing events for a compressor of a gas turbine. An overall cost function including fuel/power price forecasts is evaluated/optimised in order to determine the advisability of a washing event. The cost function depends on a state vector comprising both Integer/Boolean and continuous state variables which are interconnected via a set of rules or constraints. Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) is a used for implementing the inventive procedure.

Abstract: In a method and computer program product for optimal operation of a power plant and a power plant optimising system an optimisation module (1) minimises a cost function ( J [ u ], J [ P ]) that comprises a deviation of lifetime of plant components ( LTp ( τ )) from a desired nominal lifetime trajectory ( LTn ( τ )). This is done by, at a given time, determining future values of input values ( u (τ), P (τ)) such as control values ( P (τ)) or process values ( u (τ)) to the plant and simulating, in a simulation module (2), the behaviour of the plant up to a given future time. Corresponding lifetime values are determined in the simulation, and incorporated in an objective function. The optimisation module (1) minimises the cost function ( J [ u ], J [ P ]) by varying the input values ( u ( τ ), P ( τ )). As a result, it is possible to operate the plant such that component lifetime ( LTp ( τ )) follows the desired trajectory ( LTn ( τ )).
