Abstract
Accurate and timely Information on the performance and condition of equipment is vital to safe, reliable and economical operation of power plants. Early detection of performance degradation and incipient failure is critical to the process of averting catastrophic damage and unscheduled outages.The Utility Performance Assessment package developed by Bailey Controls Integrates performance assessment with digital distributed data acquisition and control systems to provide an overall Information management system to assist optimal control and maintenance management of plant operations. Furthermore, Statistical Process Control techniques utilizing Shew hart Charts can be readily combined with the performance assessment package to detect plant abnormalities. It is the purpose of this contribution to highlight the features of the performance assessment package and to demonstrate how Statistical Process Control techniques can be coupled with a performance assessment package to produce an effective online tool detect equipment and reduce plant operation and maintenance costs.
