SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING EFFICIENCY AND COST ANALYSIS DURING STEAM PATH AUDITS
Application IN/PCT/2002/00575 published 2006-04-07, filed 2002-04-30
This disclosure describes a system and method for providing efficiency and cost analysis for a power generation unit (7). The system of this disclosure includes a current condition data acquisition logic (83) that acquires a plurality of current condition variables for the power generation unit (7). A design constants acquisition logic (85) acquires a plurality of design constants for the power generation unit (7); and an analysis logic (220) calculates a operational efficiency of the power generation unit (7). The method provides efficiency and cost analysis for a power generation unit (7). The method includes the steps of acquiring a plurality of current condition variables (83) for the power generation unit (7), and acquiring a plurality of design constants (85) for said power generation unit (7). With the current condition variables and design constants, the method calculates an operational efficiency (220) of the power generation unit (7). (FIG. - 1)
