Patent ID: 7165404

Claim:
A method for optimizing a steam power station having at least one boiler assembly, at least one steam turbine assembly, at least one condenser assembly, at least one generator assembly and at least one flue gas cleaning device, the method comprising the steps of: comparing the characteristic variables of the at least one boiler assembly, of the at least one steam turbine assembly, of the at least one condenser assembly, of the at least one generator assembly and of the at least one flue gas cleaning device with predetermined reference values; determining those assemblies of the at least one boiler assembly, of the at least one steam turbine assembly, of the at least one condenser assembly, of the at least one generator assembly and of the at least one flue gas cleaning device whose characteristic variables are poorer than their predetermined reference values; and optimizing only those assemblies of the at least one boiler assembly, of the at least one steam turbine assembly, of the at least one condenser assembly, of the at least one generator assembly and of the at least one flue gas cleaning device whose characteristic variables are poorer than their predetermined reference values.
