GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE TESTING

Gas turbine performance services to test, diagnostic and optimize your gas turbine performance. Simple cycle and combined cycle power plants around the world can benefit from improving their gas turbine efficiency and power output. Multidisciplinary team of experts in performance, controls and process optimization.

Our services comply with the PERFORMANCE TESTING CODES applicable for evaluating the performance of gas turbines.

TESTING PURPOSE

The first step of a successful gas turbine performance evaluation is to carefully define the scope of the test. 

Turbo Efficiency team will work with you to define the scope, technical & contractual requirements for evaluating the performance of your gas turbine(s).

TYPES OF
PERFORMANCE TEST

Regardless the purpose of your performance evaluation, we can help you to conduct an impartial and accurate test.

Measure the performance of your plant and validate the power contractual performance guarantees. Conduct the evaluation based on the technical and contractual specifications of the project.

Periodically measure your plant performance and compare it to the LTSA performance guarantees or the periodic evaluations requested by the grid operator (dispatch)

Find how to improve your power plant efficiency and output.

GAS TURBINE
PERFORMANCE TESTING CODES

The power plant performance testing codes from standardization entities such as ASME, ISO and others guide you  to conduct an accurate and repeatable gas turbine performance evaluation.

LIST OF THE MAIN CODES FOR
GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE TESTING

ASME PTC 22
Gas Turbine Performance Test Code

This testing code is used to evaluate the performance of gas turbines operating in simple or combined cycle. The code provides a general guideline to conduct a gas turbine performance in a accurate and impartial way. Each plant has its own particularities, for this, a site-specific test procedure needs to be developed.

Testing instrumentation, the methodology for testing and the calculation of testing results are to be described in this procedure.
