Method and apparatus for generalized performance evaluation of equipment using achievable performance derived from statistics and real-time data

摘要

A method of controlling a thermodynamic process is disclosed. The method comprises operating the process according to a first operational state for a first period of time, determining performance parameter values of the process during the first period of time, determining a performance parameter statistical value from the performance parameter values, and evaluating the performance parameter statistical value to determine a change in an operating parameter of the first operational state.
