Develop strategic plans for plant performance optimization with
focus on heat rate reduction and improved critical equipment and their
sub-equipment (e.g. boiler, turbines, and heaters) performance.
Evaluate plant process and performance software options and recommend suitable software for the plant use
Design thermodynamic models for all related equipment and systems
Train plant performance engineer and efficiency analyst on use of
software to design equipment and systems models as well as plant
thermodynamic process models.
Develop the framework and criteria for monitoring, analyzing and
troubleshooting deviations between operational data, expected
predictions (based on models) and long-term operating trends
Develop models that will assist prediction of fuel, raw water,
water treatment chemicals and other consumables, compared to current and
long-term trends. Also analyze results and proffer recommendations for
improvements.
Advise and guide maintenance and operations teams on subjects of
improvements in plant performance (equipment) and thermal efficiency.
train as well as guide performance engineers on troubleshooting abnormal operating events and coordinating solutions.
Train the performance engineers and efficiency analyst on
performance test codes, performance testing results preparations (data
collection, analysis and reporting), thermal efficiency computation -
heat balance method and thermal accounting.
Advise and guide POPIT (Plant Operations & Performance
Improvement Team) on working plant performing testing vendor before and
after overhaul performance tests.
Develop an advisory document for management decisions on Egbin's
need to develop full capacity for performance testing. The document will
cover the models, the instruments, tools, equipment, transmitters as
well as manning for such capacity.
Fully evaluate the plant performance level vis- a-vis existing
technology and recommend cost effective technology change or retrofits
for performance improvements
General adviser on plant thermodynamic process and equipment performance, thermal efficiency and all related subjects.
