Dear Friends, Colleagues
Energy requirement around the world has triggered the powerplant to aggressively work on designing, operating and maintaining the efficient powerplant in order to
Minimize plant downtime, Maximize profitability
However design and operation of powerplant holds multiple challenges to Engineer & Plant Management some of these challenges seems to be big that they are often accepted when being “Well Enough” or “Functional”. This shortfall of optimized state is tolerated mainly due to the expensive time consuming procedures involved in segregated design and preventive maintenance, which inevitably leads to significant financial losses over the long term.
The modeling of a powerplant, however, enables an immense increase in the efficiency of the power generating industry. This accounts for the design right through to decommissioning. Not only does it enable optimization of the complete plant’s design, but also realizes significant capital and hourly savings by enabling plant investigations in a safe and reproducible virtual environment.
