Abstract
A continuous emissions model system is described that employs an emissions model that can determine emissions values from a plant for use in place of sensed emission data in the event of failure or lack of communication from a sensor. The emissions model itself receives inputs that may be based upon sensed data. Each emissions model input may be substituted with a modeled input. The modeled inputs, as well as the emissions model outputs maybe biased to render them more accurate. If any one of the emissions model inputs fails (e.g., becomes unavailable or is clearly erroneous), the corresponding modeled input may be utilized so long as the modeled input passes an acceptability test.
