The performance of individual units of a power plant is a crucial factor in determining its financial success. Owners and operators need to ensure that the power plant reaches guaranteed performance and meets quality requirements. For day to day operation it is important to establish an efficiency baseline for major equipment’s and to determine possible reasons for increased operation costs due to losses.
Performance test provides a means for power plants to attain maximum efficiency and reduce operating costs. It helps identify any shortfalls in the efficiency and capacity of the plant and make recommendations for recovery.
