Description / Abstract:
The Scope includes fossil-fueled steam plants and the
balance-of-plant portion of nuclear power plants. The guidelines
include performance monitoring concepts, a description of various
methods available, and means for evaluating particular
applications.
The guidelines provide procedures for validation and
interpretation of data, determination of performance
characteristics and trends, determination of sources of performance
problems, analysis of the performance in relation to the process,
determination of losses due to degradation, possible corrective
actions, and performance optimization.
The guidelines provide the necessary information for
implementing a performance monitoring program, using either an
automated or a manual data acquisition system, or both.
