Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.
Define the generating unit, operating mode and heat-rate boundary. Separate gas turbine, heat-recovery steam generator, steam cycle and auxiliaries.
Fuel energy, net and gross generation, ambient conditions, starts, load profile, steam conditions, auxiliary electricity and outage state.
Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.
Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
Normalise performance for load and ambient conditions before attributing a change. Keep availability and emissions effects separate.
Review heat-recovery steam-generator and steam-cycle surfaces, valves, flanges and casing features against the measured hot boundary.
