Environmental Benefits
Installing GE’s Kn3™ optimization software in a typical coal-fired power plant can reduce boiler NOx emissions by 10 percent on average. For a 600-MW coal-fired power plant operating 8,000 hours per year, this could reduce boiler NOx emissions by 550 tons per year, equivalent to the NOx emitted annually by more than 28,000 cars on US roads.
Operating Benefits
Installing GE’s Kn3™ optimization software in a typical gas-fired boiler power plant can improve boiler fuel efficiency and reduce fuel costs by 0.5 percent on average, which could enable an 800-MW gas-fired plant to save more than $1.7 million based on a natural gas price of $6 per MMBtu.
