Traditional heat rate management methods are not cutting it anymore
O&M Strategies using time-based maintenance tend to lack the real-time visibility needed to find and quickly catch performance degradation issues.
- Reduce manual processes
- Close the knowledge gap
- Increase visibility to performance issues
55%-75%
of total plant costs is due to fuel
1%
heat rate reduction for 500MW coal-fired plant will save about $700,000 annual fuel costs
2.5%
heat rate improvement correlates with a 2.5% or 1:1 reduction in all air emissions
