Thermodynamic Performance Courses - EfficiencyMap™

EfficiencyMap - Plant Performance and Optimization

Plant Engineers, owners, operators, and managers responsible for thermal performance understand that fuel is the single largest annual cost. Knowing how to get the most from every BTU is not just a good idea - it's absolutely essential in today's competitive environment. In this course, students learn how to use the EfficiencyMap online system to continuously monitor a plant's overall and equipment efficiencies.

Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
  • Discuss the practical aspects of combined cycle thermodynamics.
  • Relate how different plant configurations affect the heat balance.
  • Determine how on and off design affects the plant.
  • Discuss how controls & combustion affect performance.
  • Discuss how condenser & vacuum systems affect performance.
  • Understand how plant & component testing are used in model validation.
  • Examine various testing considerations.
  • Detect and determine how to recover from performance degradation.
  • Learn how to evaluate economic payback from managing performance.
