This solution makes accurate predictions (based on machine learning) of start-up time and cost, considering current plant conditions as it basis
The information provided by the system allows for the optimization of the power plants start-up process, improve process planification and early detection of deviations
This tool enables the tracking of deviations so necessary corrections can be made in advance in order to avoid penalties
Improve time, fuel consumption and power generation estimations during the start-up process of the power plant, taking informed decisions
TecOS START is the TecOS Suite's solution that allows for optimization of the start-up process of power plants that have frequent starts and stops, reducing the process costs and, thus, improving the facility's financial performance.
By applying machine learning algorithms, TecOS START yields precise estimates of start-up time, consumption of gas and auxiliaries, and energy generation throughout the entire start-up process.
Find out the start-up time required for your power plant based upon its initial conditions for improving your tasks planification, thus reducing fuel consumption and avoiding penalties.
The analysis of the data generated through TecOS START allows users to study the start-up process and detect the different actions that can be taken to improve and optimize said process.
The application of machine learning algorithms to your process provides accurate estimates of the amount of time required for the process. TecOS START adapts based upon your plant's historical data, allowing for estimates to be improved and tailored.
Supervise the critical parameters that come into play during plant start-up and receive alerts if they undergo significant deviations. All of this information is provided to staff by means of high-performance displays that have been designed with the highest human factors engineering standards in mind.
TecOS START is the TecOS Suite's solution for predicting and monitoring your plant's start-up. With the help of TecOS START, you will be able to supervise key parameters and your plant will get connected to the grid on time and with the lowest possible cost
Improve the tasks planning thanks to the estimates provided by TecOS START. This, in turn, improves efficiency and cuts down on fuel use during the plant's start-up process

This product is transferable to other steam power plants technologies that suffer from high-cycling start-ups
Our world is changing at an unprecedented speed, involving challenges such as the population growth, the environmental degradation and the economic recession. As society becomes more reliant on technology, the progressive electrification and decarbonization of economy will intensify leading to a more complex electricical system. The future technologies will need vast quantities of electricity and […]
Read MoreThe digital copy that enhances and improves the performance of the reality being replicated. The term «digital twin» seems to be a magic concept in this era of digitalization; in fact, the «digital twin» has been named as one of the Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2017 by Gartner. The truth is that this […]
The power generation industry is currently facing the need to reduce operating costs while maintaining the safety and availability of power plants. Considering the high performance of non-manageable renewable power plants (solar and wind) that have been in operation over the last two decades, most fossil fuel plants, especially combined cycle plants (CCGT), operate through […]
Intelligent interfaces offer an improved experience for users interacting with distinct control, monitoring or supervision systems, by presenting the information in a visual and intuitive manner. Extra importance is placed on the power to represent information using smart icons, offering additional value to these interfaces. In this article, we discuss the characteristics and benefits of […]
