Thermal Performance
Altran Solutions can provide fully integrated thermal performance evaluations by combining the expertise of its consultant engineers with the use of advanced scientific laboratory analysis in order to determine power and efficiency losses in your system. Maximizing the thermal energy conversion process will result in significant cost savings within a short turnaround time. Our engineers are highly experienced in all aspects of "Megawatt Hunting" and have direct access to Altran's in-house, advanced microbiological testing laboratory. These resources ensure a complete and comprehensive analysis of your power and efficiency losses.
Altran's Thermal Performance Evaluation is comprised of many phases and analyses including:
- Core Thermal Power Analysis
- Instrument Uncertainty Analysis
- Integrated System Modeling (PEPSE Computer Modeling)
- Overall Turbine Performance Evaluation, including pressure-ratio evaluation
- First-Stage Turbine Pressure Analysis
- Condenser Performance Analysis, which includes studies for Condenser Cleanliness, Evidence of Fouling and Scaling and Microbiological Water Sampling
- Feedwater Heater System Efficiency
- Seasonal Performance Evaluation
- Cycle Isolation Component Analysis, including AOV, MOV and other valve leakage evaluations
- Feedwater / condensate chemistry analysis (including radioactive sampling capabilities) for impact on component heat transfer characteristics and feedwater element fouling
This integrated evaluation and consultation can be completed in a short time period and can result with significant cost savings and increase in power output for your plant. Altran's specialized teams of highly-skilled engineers have the expertise, industry experience and resources to accomplish the most challenging of thermal performance evaluations and "Megawatt Hunting."
