The Process
A Turbine Inlet Air Chilling (TIAC) system’s performance can degrade over time if not properly maintained. Stellar Energy has the expertise to revive your TIAC system and optimize its performance to recover lost power and improve the heat rate of your gas turbine.
A Stellar Energy Health System Analysis addresses all key system components that deliver improved power output and improved heat rate on your gas turbine. Stellar Energy takes ownership not only of the data and analysis, but also the corrective measures required to achieve improved TIAC performance. Our process includes:
-
Assessment: We conduct a detailed assessment of the plant to establish an as-found versus as-designed baseline. We also work with the client to determine goals for power output and improved heat rate. Using mechanical system improvements and automation strategies, we’re able to provide clients with exactly the kind of information and improvements they need to reach their goals.
-
Data Collection, Diagnostics and Estimates: We work with the client to define the scope of work and provide an estimated return on the investment. We can provide estimates for project management, design and full turnkey implementation services.
-
Optimization/Corrective Action: We often find that our clients prefer for Stellar Energy to take full turnkey ownership in order for reduced time from concept to delivery, shortening the time to ROI. With Stellar Energy’s engineers and technicians, we work seamlessly with our customers, eliminating potential communication errors between an external designer, subcontractor and the client. Our services include design, fabrication, installation, testing, and 24-hour monitoring. Our direct-employed engineers, programmers and technicians provide an unprecedented level of single-source design/build service.
-
Monitoring: Our control systems provide
Intelligent Monitoring to track system performance and asset health, and alert owners of anomalies. Owners can receive daily status reports as well as customized in-depth reports for system monitoring, operational evaluation and maintenance alerts.
-
Ongoing Maintenance: We provide tailored services contracts and provide available inventory replacement parts and equipment for improved uptime.
