Plant Assessment
The competitive power generation market drives power plant operators to increase output, improve heat rate and lower operational costs. Enhancements and upgrades of the original design equipment are typically implemented to accomplish these goals. Consideration of the power plant as a system is critical when making decisions to invest in performance upgrades, and Plant Assessments are an important tool in this decision process.
Equipment upgrades can have a significant impact on assets in the power plant, including gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, heat recovery steam generators, emission control systems and balance of plant equipment. An integrated plant assessment of critical power plant components and systems provides:
- Comparison between design and upgraded performance
- Knowledge of equipment limitations and solutions
- Guidance for operational improvements
- Evaluation of emissions compliance and other regulatory concerns
