CO emissions were significantly reduced. The CO profile is now controlled and fully complaint with regulations.
A LM6000 peaking plant reduced CO emissions by 14% when operating with low-specific gravity composition that can increase CO emissions. NOx emissions were reduced by up to 12% when operating with high-specific gravity composition, which can increase NOx emissions. Manual tuning events were reduced from 4 to 0 while avoiding 12 days of downtime. Since the installation of the software, the plant has not experienced any high acoustics events, down from 6 the previous year.
A European LM6000 plant reduced NOx emissions by 10% without the need for a combustion overhaul alternative that would have cost the site $2M and require a 12-week outage. With Autonomous Tuning, the customer was able to generate power throughout all of 2020, previously unachievable without exceeding NOx credits. As a result, the site generated $300K more revenue than 2019. Manual tuning events were reduced from 2 to 0, avoiding 6 days of downtime. Since the installation of the software, the plant has not experienced high acoustics events.
