Emerson Awarded Contract by Glow Group of Thailand to Optimize Three Cogeneration and Utility Plants
Emerson's AMS Optimizer will be used to reduce energy costs and increase production.
Teesside, United Kingdom, March 30, 2005 - Emerson Process Management has been awarded a contract by the Glow Group to improve operational and economic performance of their Cogeneration and Utility Plants across three separate sites at Rayong, Thailand. Glow Group is a
subsidiary of Suez-Tractebel and is the largest privately owned power producer in Thailand. Emerson will use its
AMS™ Suite: Real-Time Optimizer, a key technology of
PlantWeb® digital plant
architecture, to optimize and deliver maximum economic return from available assets.
The adoption of AMS Optimizer will enable the Glow Group to constantly manage the profitability of their assets in real-time. AMS Optimizer will determine the most fuel-efficient operation from
generation of optimum equipment setpoints for electricity and steam loads for all Rayong facilities. It will also provide capabilities for equipment selection optimization, equipment performance
calculations and key performance indicators to quantify the effect of equipment degradation for all major areas of plant operation.
The AMS Optimizer also provides Glow Group with the ability to analyze 'look-ahead' scenarios. This allows users to foresee and understand the effects of changes to ambient conditions, equipment availability and electricity and steam load profiles, thus allowing operators to make short, medium and long-term operational planning decisions.
"Providing plant personnel with access to accurate and reliable real-time information needed to
optimize plant operations is a fundamental requirement for improving operational performance," said Craig Llewellyn, president of the Asset Optimization division of Emerson Process Management. "Emerson is a recognized leader in real-time optimization technology, and we will deliver a high value business solution that gives Glow Group a foundation to improve plant operations."
The Glow Group comprises power producers and utility providers delivering
electricity to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand under their SPP (Small Power Producer) and IPP (Independent Power Producer) programs, as well as supplying local industries. The Glow Group is the largest privately owned power producer in Thailand with total electricity generating capacity approaching 1700MW.
AMS Suite is an integrated family of software applications for predictive maintenance, performance monitoring and economic optimization. AMS Suite enables companies to dramatically improve plant availability, throughput and product quality while reducing operations, maintenance and
utility costs. Emerson complements AMS Suite with PlantWeb Services to ensure successful
implementation of the application and maximize the value delivered to manufacturers. For
