One of the ways to use energy resources more efficient is to produce electrical energy from combined cycle power plants. In order to maintain the efficient operating conditions of the plants, performing performance analysis is a requirement. Most power plants have tremendous amounts of data stored in their historians, asset management systems, and/or control and monitoring systems.

Plant operations and maintenance can be greatly improved by turning this data into actionable information. It is the nature of power plants that they do not work at all times at their design point conditions due to degradation and aging of plant equipment’s and components.

Off-design due to normal conditions and abnormal conditions are two main sources which offset the plant from its design point conditions. Therefore, power plant efficiency has to be calculated by taking these conditions into consideration. Aguilon offers wide range of accounting and performance analytics solutions for combined cycle plants to improve the plant performance and to enhance the operational efficiency.
