We look forward to hearing from you and helping you uncover new opportunities for efficiency and insight. As a result, your plant will be better equipped to act on real-time performance data.

Why performance monitoring matters?

Even small efficiency losses can lead to significant cost overrun and missed targets. Therefore, Performance monitoring gives power plant operators and engineers the tools to detect early signs of degradation, benchmark performance, and optimize operational strategy.

From data to optimization

Our proprietary software combines powerful thermodynamic calculations with an intuitive interface. Consequently, offering flexible monitoring for gas turbines, boilers, steam turbines, condensers, generators and more.

Our approach to performance monitoring

1. Preparation

  • General preparations
  • Review relevant supporting technical documentation
  • Inventory of available parameters for monitoring and calculations
  • Presentation of the proposed monitoring model and reports

2. Development

  • Developing ThermoWare© model
  • Process correction curves to correct the actual results to reference conditions
  • Developing Mimics for graphic overview of plant and components
  • Process a reference dataset for review
  • Deliver draft of the model for review
  • FAT (Factory Acceptance Test)

3. Implementation

  • Implementation on-line interface with DCS
  • Testing data import and export routines
  • Verification of calculation results
  • Presentation daily/monthly performance reports
  • SAT (Site Acceptance Test) with training and instruction manuals

Applications across plant components

Gas turbine performance analysis
HRSG efficiency and pinch point trending
Steam turbine stage performance
Condenser vacuum prediction and HTC monitoring
Cooling tower Merkel calculations
Generator shaft power and efficiency

Together, these applications support complete plant-wide optimization.
