Overviews:

• Large Steam Turbine Generator Acceptance and Other Performance Testing - Neural Network Express Inc. (NNETEX) can test your large steam turbine to insure contractual performance compliance or confirm that your unit is operating properly with the losses in power and efficiency at specified conditions.  This is done with high accuracy instruments and precision computations. [H]

• Problem Attention Immediate and World Wide* NNETEX is committed to providing problem resolution to satisfy immediate concerns.  This includes evaluating data as received. [H]

• Definitive Focus for Recovery of MWs and Efficiency-  Once the proposal is translated to action the results will produce specific recommendations for recovering MWs and efficiency. [H]

• Unit Acceptance Support-  NNETEX is responsible for understanding the technical aspects of the turbine performance guarantees in full and can provide team support addressing written guarantees and the associated required tests to follow.  NNETEX can assist you by helping to produce a well thought out acceptance plan years before testing. [H]

• Contractual Performance Guarantee Development- NNETEX understands the guarantee and the technical nature of the testing to support it.  Underestimating requirements can result in a weakened position. Agreements should achieve the overall performance goals, while considering the testing limitations.  This will further substantiate test results. The codes require an in-depth understanding.  NNETEX will provide practical assistance in contractual performance guarantee development and formulation. [H]

• Problem - Magnitude Analysis and Verifications After turbine problem descriptions are collected, the turbine available Commissioning/Acceptance data and turbine performance history, outage and operational observances can be used to determine the performance testing and analysis procedures and plans. [H]

• Power / Efficiency Loss Evaluations - Large steam turbine power and efficiency loss evaluations will provide you with the information for preparing work lists to accomplish at your next major or minor outage.  NNETEX can provide you with quantitative justification for work lists for your next outage detailing work / incentives.

• Acceptance and Performance Test Evaluations - Interpretation of acceptance and performance testing - Many factors go into developing the performance guarantees which are the reference or basis for the new unit acceptance.  Guarantee agreements should provide information guidance for the test plan.  NNETEX can also assist you in preparing and analyzing all such acceptance test data collected and documentation.  Performance test evaluations can be achieved using various methods including utilizing past acceptance or commissioning data and can be assisted with special plant instrumentation. [H]

• PEPSE^™  - Modeling / Support - Performance Evaluation of Power System Efficiencies (Scientech Product formerly Halliburton-NUS) Tools used for modeling and support.  This modeling tool has been utilized for more than the last 25 years and can evaluate the resulting influences of specific equipment parameter design changes on power plant performance.   The modeling can be used for studying the interaction between specific design parameter changes and accurately determine stream  properties throughout the cycle, mass and energy balances for distribution of power and measurement of efficiencies.  Design factors for various components of boilers, turbine cycles, feedwater heaters, heat exchangers, pumps, turbines etc. can be evaluated individually, grouped or within the whole system.  This can be used for balance of plant, specific component, group components, or whole system evaluations.[H]
