Immune Inspired Optimizer of Combustion Process in Power Boiler

The article presents an optimization method of combustion process in a power boiler. This solution is based on the artificial immune systems theory. A layered optimization system is used, to minimize CO and NOx emission. Immune inspired optimizer SILO is implemented in each of three units of Ostroleka Power Plant (Poland). The results from this implementation are presented. They confirm that presented solution is effective and usable in practice.
