MD&A provides various performance testing & analysis solutions based upon the plant’s overall test objective. Our turbine engineering focus is to determine the thermodynamic condition of your turbine and other components in the cycle.<\/p>\n

Performance testing is used to quantify the reduction in performance as compared to reference performance. Reference performance can be the original heat balance or a previous performance test. The results of the test are used to provide recommendations on how to improve and maintain a high level of turbine performance.<\/p>\n

Data can be collected from station instrumentation or temporary precision instrumentation. Performance testing typically includes a thorough Thermographic Survey<\/a> to ensure cycle isolation losses are accounted for in the performance analysis.<\/p>\n

Our testing services are typically used for pre and post-outage testing, periodic performance monitoring, and troubleshooting specific plant performance deficiencies.<\/p>\n

Thermodynamic Analysis<\/a> is sometimes required to complete performance testing objectives by developing performance correction curves and help reconcile performance deficiencies by running what-if scenarios in the thermodynamic model.<\/p>\n
