GMD Benefits
GMD Features
In a typical combined cycle implementation, KPIs are assessed on an hourly basis and compared with baseline (normal) performance including:
✓ Plant net heat rate and capacity
✓ Combustion turbine generator (CTG) gross heat rate and capacity.
✓ Steam cycle heat rate and steam turbine generator (STG) capacity.
✓ HRSG thermal efficiency
✓ SCR Ammonia Consumption efficiency
✓ ST Backpressure (vacuum pump)
✓ Cooling Tower Efficiency
✓ Water Wash Analysis
KPI dashboards are updated daily including interactive features to help key decision-makers immediately quantify the effect of anomalies detected. When detections occur that exceed prescribed limits, diagnostic support is provided by Primex SME’s to help plant personnel identify and correct underlying issues.
