Industrial Energy Efficiency Training

POWER GENERATION SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION

Power Generation System Optimization WorkshopPresented by: William Livoti

Power Generation Survival of the Efficient

• Energy efficiency is a key factor in

overall plant performance. Cost savings

through energy efficient systems, waste

reduction, reduced risk, improved

reliability and increased workforce

productivity will allow the power industry

to achieve sustainability and minimize

rate hikes. The U.S.’s heightened resolve

to reduce carbon emissions brings

extraordinary challenges and opportunities to the

energy community.

• Improving the efficiency of our power plants will play

a major role in solving the energy and environmental

problems of the future.

• Lower heat rates are a key factor in improving the

efficiency of power generating plants.

• Due to current electricity market conditions, many

units no longer operate at base-load capacity.

During reduced load conditions, plant parasitic

power (auxiliary power) can be reduced by 30-

60% if the motor driven equipment was efficiently

controlled. This can also have a significant impact on

equipment reliability.

Overview

Power Generation System Optimization Workshop

WEG can contribute to the success of you and your organization!

WEG Electric Corp. in conjunction with the Hydraulic Institute is

offering two new courses (Industrial Pump System Optimization

and Power Plant Pump System Optimization) that

explore in great depth how progressive companies will

position themselves for success.

These comprehensive seminars will bring you up to

speed quickly by giving you a solid understanding

and foundation in both the underlying science of GHG

production and mitigation, and the emerging policies

and markets that will redefine our industry.

This informative one-day workshop will show you how to:

– Reduce heat rates

– Improve Uptime, Availability and Reliability

– Improve overall plant efficiency

– Reduce energy costs

– Improve system reliability (Motor, Drive, Pump)

– Increase mean time between repairs

– Reduce fugitive emissions

– Increase staff productivity

– Improve product quality

– Increase profitability
