Power Generation

Global business in the 21st century is forcing many companies to run a round-the-clock operation, to be able to compete with the best in the business. Increased business needs require sustained and reliable power supplied by utility companies and industrial powerhouses. Therefore, power generation facilities and distribution grids that deliver power must be more robust and reliable with the only acceptable goal being 100% uptime. Power plants that help achieve this goal have certain characteristics: safe and reliable operation, minimal forced outages, maximum availability and responsiveness to the needs of power consumers, while achieving the lowest operating costs possible.

Honeywell focuses on three main sub-markets for Power:
Electric Utilities, Industrial Power and District Heating. Honeywell Process Solutions has more than four decades of power generation experience and has delivered state-of-the-art control systems and services to power generation facilities in more than 50 countries. Honeywell’s control systems are ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of electric utilities, district heating plants, hydroelectric units and industrial powerhouses all over the world.

Along with the latest in system technology, Honeywell provides advanced control solutions designed specifically for power – applications that ensure the maximum reliability, availability and efficiency of every subsystem present in a power plant.

Deregulation of power distribution and flexible power contracts have turned industrial powerhouses into potential profit centers for many industrial plants. Honeywell’s Experion™ Process Knowledge System (PKS) platform and advanced control solutions are designed to reduce inefficiencies in both the generation and consumption of steam and electricity, as well as to reduce labor costs associated with running and maintaining the power house operations.

HAIL’s Industrial Power solutions offer a wide range of hardware applications and services designed specifically for the utility area. Plants without modern automation can benefit from the complete Industrial Power solution set. Plants with some automation or plants that have older systems nearing obsolescence, can choose the specific solution elements as required.

The Honeywell approach to Power Emergency Load Shed uses advanced control software to act in a supervisory decision-making role in advance of an emergency event. Event-detection logic that is resident in PLC programming performs the task of actually opening breakers to shed loads.

The Power Emergency Load Shed Solution provides powerful protection of your processes and your profits, by minimizing unplanned outages due to electrical system faults. It will very likely pay for itself the first time it acts to preserve the power supply to critical plant equipment. PELS offers a set of functions that are useful and valuable to plant personnel and are readily accessible by operating, maintenance and management personnel.
