Plant Performance Evaluation

Analyzing Performance Data to Identify Improvements

Plant performance evaluation services helps plant owners by evaluating the current performance of their plant and quantifying it relative to expected performance, determining the causes of performance deterioration and recommending ways to optimize the plant’s operation and maintenance. This service is also useful in identifying and evaluating possible modifications, upgrades and uprates and quantifying their value in terms of both their performance and economic impact.

Features & Benefits

During a plant performance evaluation, we collect and analyze performance data to compare your power plant’s current thermal efficiency to the as-designed “new and clean” condition of the plant. Our analysis identifies the magnitude of performance change, and potential areas of improvement through changes to operation or maintenance strategies or equipment conversions, modifications or uprates (CM&Us).

  • Accurately assesses and documents the overall plant and plant equipment thermal performance
  • Identifies and diagnoses developing problems with equipment
  • Identifies potential improvements in the performance, operation, reliability or availability of plant equipment through changes in plant operation and CM&U options
  • Improves technical and economic decision-making regarding operation, maintenance or CM&Us
  • Optimizes plant operation and maximizes equipment efficiency
