The main reasons to conduct a power plant performance test are:
- Identify the baseline performance of the power plant in different operating cases
- Quantify the prior/after performance improvement due to a major maintenance outage.
- Verify if the power plant meets the specifications of the applicable purchase contract, therefore if liquidated damages or “make good” actions are required.
Our services are valuable to EPC contractors and power plant managers to assess the following:
- Gross and net power output of the plant at reference conditions
- Heat rate and efficiency of the plant at reference conditions
- Corrected power plant heat input
- Power plant performance curves from components
