The studies involve noting down key parameters (flow, pressure & temperature) at turbine inlet & individual
extraction, power generation to assess stage efficiency, heat rate as well as specific power generation the
individual equipment.
The typical scope of the work covers
Collecting trends for key parameters like power generation and steam pressure, temperature and
flow at inlet, exhaust as well as at the outlet of each stage during normal plant operation.
Assessing the average values of key parameters like power generation and steam pressure,
temperature and flow at inlet, exhaust as well as at the outlet of each stage during normal plant
operation.
Computing isentropic efficiency for each stage as well as on the overall basis.
Comparing the values with Heat & Mass Balance Data (HMBD) to analyzing the gaps, if any.
Collecting instantaneous values for key parameters like power generation and steam pressure,
temperature and flow at inlet, exhaust as well as at the outlet of each stage during normal plant
operation.
Computing isentropic efficiency for each stage as well as on the overall basis.
Comparing the values with Heat & Mass Balance Data (HMBD) to analyzing the gaps, if any.
Assessing the performance and suggesting ways for improvement, as applicable
Submitting the report
A team of two engineers is deputed to carry out the studies and furnishing the report. The field visit is
typically for 5 to 6 hours; during which up to 10 measurements can be carried out depending upon initial
preparations,conditions of ducting systems and support from the plant team.
