Power Generation Monitoring

KEMA's experience in power generation monitoring makes us believe one of the best ways to establish a realistic best-achievable benchmark for the performance of your plant is to conduct a performance assessment

Power plant performance assessments
A plant can typically see an immediate heat rate improvement or a decrease just from the controllable losses improvements brought forth from the assessment. The assessment can bring forward non-controllable losses' heat rate improvement suggestions. The performance of a power plant can be expressed through common performance factors as:

• heat rate (energy efficiency)

• thermal efficiency

• capacity factor

• load factor

• economic efficiency

• operational efficiency.

The primary objective of a performance assessment is to develop a current, best achievable, unit model and provide solutions to improve your plant performance, thus decreasing heat rate. The results in the performance assessment report will allow you to put findings immediately into action. We just don't leave you after the performance assessment is complete. We also assist you with the implementation of the targeted improvement program.

Through utilization of our calibrated test instrumentation we can determine the actual efficiency of your plant or of its individual main components. Our focus is on the parameters that have the biggest impact on heat rate and efficiency.
