Pegasus selects PV-Wave for NeuSIGHTBoulder 05 September 2001 Pegasus Technologies has selected PV-WAVE as the data visualization engine of its combustion optimization system for the electric power generation industry.
Pegasus has developed a product called the NeuSIGHT Optimization Suite (OS). NeuSIGHT OS helps electric power generation companies improve boiler efficiency and operational performance, thereby improving safety and widening profit margins. First released in December 2000, NeuSIGHT OS is the first online, real-time, closed-loop process optimization solution. By employing proven neural network technology for optimization and self-tuning, NeuSIGHT OS continuously adjusts boiler operation to simultaneously provide improved efficiency and environmental performance. The product monitors and measures up to 1,500 input variables, models current operations, and then makes the adjustments necessary to achieve a balance between efficiency and performance.
NeuSIGHT OS is installed as a complete solution, with hardware and software included for seamless integration with each customer's specific control system and legacy information technology environment.
Of key importance to NeuSIGHT OS users is the ability to apply advanced data visualization and analysis techniques to the input data, allowing them to verify models and present clear interrelationships of current operating conditions. According to Ken Zakrajsek, a systems administrator at Pegasus, users want to explore potential solutions in a visual display to accurately and easily assess relationships between variables.
As such, Pegasus developed a sub-product called NeuWAVE. Using PV-WAVE as its data visualization engine, NeuWAVE is a point-and-click environment for visualizing actual plant data in several different modes, including 3D, 4D, and time-series and correlation plots. NeuWAVE is included with the NeuSIGHT Optimization Suite software. Although NeuWAVE has several pre-existing display formats, the flexible PV-WAVE engine allows for the customization of additional displays, depending on individual site requirements.
