Plant Analysis, Diagnosis and Optimization (PADO) is one of our efficiency-enhancing optimization programs and was originally developed for India. The state counts in part on wind power and photovoltaics, but relies on conventional power plants to supply energy to around 1.3 billion people.

PADO delivers performance data, giving the management a quick overview of the technical and economic process quality. It is an online decision support system that consists of a lot of software modules. They continuously collect and validate data from the asset performance monitoring process and detect and diagnose errors. In addition, they optimize the heat development and thus create an improved efficiency.

The modules:

• Data Management SR::x
• Data validation SR::Validate
• Soot blowing management SR::BCM
• Life time monitoring SR1
• Predictive Analytics SR::SPC
• Error diagnosis SR::FT
• Setpoint optimization SR::SPO
• Supervision of process quality SR::EPOS

Over 80 PADO systems were implemented in India alone.
