Advanced Energy Solutions is an advanced suite of control, monitoring and optimization applications designed specifically for the power generation industry. This integrated, yet modular suite of solutions brings advanced control and optimization to industrial power generators, process steam and heat producers.
Advanced Energy Solutions allows industrial power and cogeneration plants to balance generation demands with operational efficiencies and regulatory constraints. By implementing Honeywell’s Advanced Energy Solutions, typical results include:
The solution is fully integrated with Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System or third-party DCS and includes modules such as:
These components can be implemented individually or as a completely integrated solution in order to maximize the process optimization benefit. The components are tightly interconnected, have common architecture and compatible interfaces.

Advanced Combustion ControlAdvanced Combustion Control tightly coordinates control of fuel and air ratio for advanced control of the combustion processes. This not only saves on fuel for the same amount of generated energy, it also helps to reduce emissions to stipulated regulatory levels. Benefits include:
Plant Performance OptimizerThe Plant Performance Optimizer increases the efficiency and reliability of the power plant by optimizing the utilization of steam for electricity generation and process or heating needs. Benefits include:
Master Pressure ControlThe Master Pressure Controller stabilizes the steam pressure and prevents boiler and turbine outages using advanced predictive control algorithms. It guarantees continuous balance between produced and consumed steam, and also results in increased asset life by minimizing wear and tear. Benefits include:
Plant Performance MonitorPlant Performance Monitor improves decision making by monitoring the Key Performance Indicators, continuous emissions monitoring, continuous cycle chemistry monitoring and offline “what-if” analysis. Knowledge of the KPIs allows you to handle problems before they occur, ensures 100% availability of the assets, and validates potential opportunities for performance improvements. Benefits include:
Tie-Line ControlTie-Line Control is a power quota planning toolkit for effective management of energy supply and demand. It provides real-time power production control and monitoring, optimizing generation trajectory to reduce the overall cost of power or take advantage of external power market sales opportunities. Benefits include:
“As the first company in the world to apply Honeywell’s Advanced Energy Solutions to CFB units, Sinopec significantly enhanced the effectiveness and control performance of the distributed control system at the CFB boiler level and for the entire plant. Even more impressive, all improvements were achieved by implementing software rather than executing a major hardware refurbishment at the plant. We have also to date achieved an estimated $1 million of savings on the supply of energy to our refinery.”
