Process automation in energy plants, integrated control systems and optimizing steam networks in industrial sites is a complex, technical challenge. Operators must manage conflicting energy objectives, coordinate parallel equipment, and respond to both fast and slow dynamic changes. Traditional DCS logic systems often fall short, leading to inefficient control, reduced performance, and higher operational costs.
ABB OPTIMAX® for Steam & Power addresses these challenges with advanced real-time monitoring. It enables optimal orchestration of boilers, turbines, and steam networks, improving steam supply reliability and leveraging asset flexibility to reduce production costs.
By considering equipment efficiency, OPTIMAX® intelligently allocates load across turbines and boilers, enhancing cogeneration plant performance and contributing to a lower CO₂ footprint through smarter industrial energy management.
