COMBINED CYCLE PERFORMANCE TESTING
COMBINED CYCLE PERFORMANCE TESTING
Combined Cycle Performance Services to measure, diagnostic and optimize the heat rate and power output of combined cycle power plants around the world. Our team of experts in performance, controls and process optimization can deliver results 24/7 anywhere in the world.
Our services comply with the PERFORMANCE TESTING CODES applicable for evaluating the performance of combined cycles.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Defining the scope of testing is the first step of a successful combined cycle performance evaluation.
Turbo Efficiency team will work with you to define the scope, technical & contractual requirements for evaluating the performance of your combined cycle.
We will work together to create a site specific test procedure that will provide a clear guide for:
Main combined cycle performance parameters to evaluate
Testing Instrumentation to Use
Methodology & Calculations
Evaluation of Performance Guarantees
Preparations for Testing & More
WHAT IS YOUR COMBINED CYCLE PERFORMANCE?
Turbo Efficiency can evaluate the performance of combined cycle power plants in compliance ASME PTC 46. Either for contractual reasons, to diagnostic or to optimize the combined cycle efficiency.
TYPICAL COMBINED CYCLE PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS
These are the typical parameters to evaluate in a combined cycle power plant. Additional parameters can be included depending on the site needs and the technical or contractual specifications.
ASME PTC 46 – Overall Plant Performance Testing
This Code applies to any plant size. It can be used to measure the performance of a plant in its normal operating condition, with all equipment in a clean and fully functional condition. This Code provides explicit methods and procedures for combined cycle power plants and for most gas, liquid, and solid fueled Rankine cycle plants. There is no intent to restrict the use of this Code for other types of heat cycle power plants, providing the explicit procedures can be met. For example, the performance equations and test methods herein are applicable to the steam cycle portion of a solar plant, or of a nuclear plant steam cycle.
This Code does not apply to component testing, for example, gas turbines (ASME PTC 22) or steam turbines (ASME PTC 6 or ASME PTC 6.2) or other individual components. To test a particular power plant or cogeneration facility in accordance with this Code, the following must be met:
