Research and development of carbon emission monitoring and analysis platform for power plants

Abstract:
Global warming has a huge impact on our lives, and carbon dioxide, as one of the greenhouse gases, has drawn enormous attention. This paper briefly introduces the carbon emission monitoring and analysis platform based on power plants. First, data indicators such as carbon dioxide concentration and flue gas flow rate are monitored in real time through the CEMS system, and the data indicators are stored in the database. Among them, the carbon dioxide concentration is monitored by the non-dispersive infrared absorption method. Then, through the stored data, the carbon emissions of the power plant are determined using the emission factor method. The carbon emissions of power plants, fossil fuels, and desulfurization are related to the net purchase and use of electricity by enterprises, which need to be calculated separately and finally added up. After that, other functions of the platform are introduced, such as data prediction, monitoring and alarming, and energy consumption monitoring. Finally, through an example analysis and comparing different units, it is concluded that the gasfired unit has the lowest carbon emissions and the lowest carbon emissions per unit of power generation.
