Automation & Control
Emerson’s Ovation system features embedded advanced algorithms and proven control routines that continually adjust the combustion process to account for the varying characteristics of biomass fuels. Emerson’s scope of supply is based on an Ovation system
to handle 6000 I/O. This includes Ovation SIS (Safety Instrumented System) for boiler protection and burner management. Project documentation will be generated using the Ovation Documentation Builder smart tool. Emerson will also supply automation services including complete project
management, engineering and installation. Also included is Emerson’s AMS Suite, which will speed
configuration and commissioning of boiler instrumentation. When the plant is operational, AMS Suite will enable
maintenance and operations personnel to predict equipment issues to better maintain and protect the machinery. The boiler island and biomass handling plant will be built
next to the existing units at GDF Suez’s 1800 MW coal-fired power station, which already uses an Ovation control system. Following further modernisation of the station’s existing turbine, its output capacity will increase from 190 to 205MW. Designed for high reliability and easy maintenance, the
boiler will burn wood chips in combination with 20 per cent of agricultural derived fuel such as straw pellets or crushed briquettes, sunflower pellets, fruit husk pellets, and crushed palm kernel shells. The annual biomass requirement of the new unit will be
about one million metric tons, and it is expected to generate 1.2 terawatt hours (TWh) of clean energy annually. The plant is designed to ensure that emissions will be well below those required by the EU Large Combustion Plants Directive. “Biomass utilisation will play a significant role in Europe’s
energy future,” said Bob Sharp, European president, Emerson Process Management. ■
