ROSA: Maximum fuel utilisation at minimum cost

[ROSA screen] NRG's optimiser code ROSA will provide you the best possible next-cycles loading pattern for minimum fuel cost and maximum output. ROSA is an extremely powerful and user-friendly 3D-core simulator with an advanced multi-parameter optimiser. Results are obtained readily as up to millions of options/hour are evaluated while satisfying safety margins and additional client specific constraints. Call NRG for either having our experts apply ROSA for your plant or getting a ROSA-license (with training session) yourself. A demonstration is available on request.

Immediate benefit is your prospect. ROSA was developed by NRG to provide a core configuration and fuel management tool, which is complete and has an excellent GUI. ROSA is used by many utilities.
