New Improvements of Immune Inspired Optimizer SILO

The article presents new improvements of an immune inspired optimization method, used to control a combustion process in a steam generating, coal fired, large scale boiler. Immune Inspired Optimizer SILO is implemented at each of three units of Ostroleka Power Plant (Poland) and at one unit in Newton Power Plant (USA). The results from Newton Power Plant are presented. They confirm that presented solution is effective and usable in practice and it can be treated as a good alternative to MFC controllers. The main goal of this solution is CO and NOx emission minimization.
