Data Mining Opportunities for Process and Equipment Optimization in the Power Industry

Most operators of power plants, as well as the manufacturers of the systems that enable clean, efficient, and reliable power generation, collect "lots of data" into dedicated historical process data bases. However, in most cases, only simple charts and "after-the-fact" ad-hoc analyses are performed on very few data streams; most information is simply not used!

The purpose of this Webinar is to provide an introduction to Data Mining and how it can be adapted to provide significant return on investment with your existing equipment and instrumentation.

Specifically, the following topics will be covered:

1. What are the traditional tools used for process monitoring and root-cause analysis, and why are they deficient?



2. Introduction to data mining: What is it, what are the methods, how can they be applied



3. Introduction to multivariate process control: How to effectively monitor a complex multivariate process



4. Effective methods for root-cause analysis



5. Putting it all together: What does it take to integrate advanced data mining methods and process control into an existing system

There will be ample time for questions and answers, to discuss specific issues, problems, and applications.
