Emerson’s Ovation SCR Optimization Helps Constellation Energy’s Brandon Shores Save $200,000 in NOx Credits
RESULTS “By automatically controlling the SCR inlet temperature, the Ovation SCR optimization application makes it possible for the plant to quickly and efficiently respond to constantly changing load demand, which is critical to our participation in the PJM Interconnection market. Emerson’s technology has enabled us to dramatically increase the amount of time we operate within the optimal parameters, which, in turn, results in a significant decrease in NOx as well as a significant cost savings.” Harry Brocato General Supervisor, Engineering Projects Constellation Energy Brandon Shores Station APPLICATION Two 650-megawatt B&W coal-fired boilers with General Electric steam turbine generators CUSTOMER Constellation Energy, Brandon Shores Station located in Baltimore, Maryland CH
