This document discusses using the Predix platform to develop an efficiency analyzer for wall blowers in thermal power plants. It notes that wall blowing can increase boiler efficiency by 1-4% and cut maintenance costs. The analyzer will use deep learning algorithms to analyze images of furnace walls before and after blowing to assess the impact and provide recommendations to optimize the schedule. The roadmap shows designing the dashboard and analytics integration by May 2017.

Efficiency Analyzer for Wall blowers Using Predix Platform
Image of the Furnace before wall blowing will be taken and
stored in predix blobstore.
Deep learning algorithms will be applied to analyze the image
to check the condition of wall
Wall blowing process will be carried out.
Image of the Inner wall of the furnace will be taken again and
stored in predix cloud.
Analyze the image to check the impact of wall blowing
Output of the processed image before blowing and after
blowing will be stored for efficiency analysis.
Continuous building of training data set on the impact of wall
blowing activity
With analytical data , provide the recommendation for optimal
wall blowing schedule to improve the operation of the furnace
in thermal power plant
