Plant Health Sensor – ADEX Control System Optimization Programs

The ADEX Plant Health Sensor extends the features of existing Control System Optimizers and adds expert analysis on data to locate potential problems.

It is a tool to diagnosis non-obvious of elements of the Plant

• Failures
• Malfunctioning’s
• Faults
• Performance loses

As results, performance is increased once again, and plant availability is improved.

Power Plant Monitoring & Optmization Control System

ADEX Controllers could be used as non-intrusive sensors which listen to other elements. The ADEX Control System enables the proactive detection of problems in both critical variables under control and other indirect variables, e.g.:

• Mechanical stress failures, temperature trips, corrosion, ashes, etc.
• Malfunctioning of valves, meters, sensors, etc.

The Core of the Health Sensor: Stabilization of process outcome.

• LEFT (with conventional control): If outcome is not stable enough even the best Big Data system cannot extract conclusions from changing behaviors on I/O.
• RIGHT (with ADEX): But if it is stable, changes on I/O could be analyzed and warnings are extracted easily.
