The 
 
ORCHIDEE
 
Package 
 
ORCHIDEE
is a simulation software for theoperation of the electrostatic precipitators(ESP) in coal fired Power Plants, designedto be installed in the control room of theplant.From fuels analyses, boiler operatingconditions, plant characteristics and controlparameters,
ORCHIDEE
simulates in real-time the operating conditions of thedifferent fields of the precipitator, evaluatesthe dust emissions at the stack andestimates the effects of SO3 injection andback-corona in the ESP efficiency.As a result,
ORCHIDEE
enables the plantstaff to take operating decisions supportedby simple “what if” scenario analysis; itenables also the maintenance staff todefine more effective maintenance plan byearly detection of ESP problems.
ORCHIDEE
is also a powerful assistancetool for on-line and off-line diagnostics.
ORCHIDEE
 
has been installed and validated in 8 EDF coalthermal power plants in France and UK. It is actually usedfor the daily operation of the plants.
 
The 
 
ORCHIDEE
applications 
 Poor ESP performances may result inrevenue losses, such as reduced plantproduction or penalties: a 1 % deratingof a 250 MW unit, due to poorenvironmental performances, maycorrespond to losses of the order of1 M$.Early detection of reduced ESPperformances is therefore essential tokeep plant optimal production levels.Few plants have resident experts ableto estimate in advance the plantperformances.
ORCHIDEE
simulation software enableplant staff to understand major ESPproblems: by changing plant or ESPparameters it is possible to reviewinstantly any modification of theoperating conditions.
