    Business Challenge
    With a high demand for electricity triggering more construction of power plants, the goal of an owner is to ensure that its new generation assets will produce the MWh required by the power purchase agreement or the energy market. For a portfolio of power generation assets, performance testing can facilitate benchmarking and help identify best operating practices.

    Solution
    What are performance measurements for power plants?
    The purpose of the Bureau Veritas performance measurements service is to establish and verify the level of power generated, the efficiency, noise and emission levels of technical installations in line with the applicable measurement procedures, the contract specifications and international and national standards. Bureau Veritas performs this service on boiler plants (steam, hot/warm water, thermal oil), gas turbine and cogeneration, steam turbines, combined cycles, reciprocation engines (gas, diesel), generators, incinerators, waste incineration plants, refrigeration and freezing plants (ammonia, absorption), compressed air equipment, and pumps.

    What are the key benefits?
    - To check the actual performance of the installation against the performance guaranteed
    by turbine and boiler suppliers, or by the engineering procurement contractor (EPC).
    - To define the reference level of a new installation.
    - To optimize the operation of a power plant.
    - To determine the performance of individual parts of the power plant.
    - To benchmark power plants in a portfolio.
    - To comply with regulation requirements.
    - To check accuracy of control- command system.
