In this webinar, we’ll be talking about the problems that combined cycle units and peaking CTs encounter with CT startups and how one company—SRP—is addressing them. You’ll learn about how you can understand earlier and better how your CT is behaving—what’s functioning as expected and what’s starting to deviate—and how you can shift from reactive to proactive startup and operation. You’ll learn about how you can get early warning of thermocouples beginning to drift, fuel valves beginning to act up, nozzles beginning to plug, bleed valves beginning to stick, and more…….and how this early insight will let you investigate deviations and perform necessary repairs before your next startup, ensuring your units are reliable and ready when needed. Up to 50% of forced outages in combined cycle plants are due to CT issues, costing $500K/unit year in lost generation revenue alone—and failed starts and trips cost over $200K in accelerated maintenance allocations. Learn how to eliminate these costs now and take control of your CT startups.
