Plant asset management concentrates on:

• plant performance
• improvement of reliability
• reduction of operation and maintenance costs
• relation of operation mode with operation and
  maintenance costs and remaining plant and
  component life.     

For the optimal dispatch of power plants it is important to generate actual performance data of the plant. Plant performance also deteriorates over time. Wear and fouling of plant components can have severe effects on the critical plant performance data.

Ensuring that your trading department has access to accurate plant performance requires knowing your plant’s actual condition and capacity. Your plant manager needs access to periodic unbiased measurements and analysis to optimize the operations and management of your power generation assets. Generation owners worldwide turn to KEMA for independent and accurate measurement and analysis services.
