    Default job background
    Description

    Responsibilities:
    Provide technical expertise in the evaluation and enhancement of combined cycle thermal performance and balance of plant design


    Enhance combined cycle performance estimates by using developed tools to reliably perform these calculations and diagnostic objectives in a timely manner.

    Evaluate thermal performance of steam cycles [power output, heat rate, stage pressures, temperatures and component efficiencies] utilizing thermodynamic principles.

    Determine the causes of steam cycle performance losses through diagnostic analysis of operational data for both steady-state and transient operation, along with plant components as required


    This work includes:
    Gross performance characterization of major power plant components (GT, ST, HRSG/OTSG, Condenser).

    Detailed analysis of ST performance (Compressor & Turbine) to be able to identify stage and subcomponent performance losses, and where necessary, utilize thermal engineering software (SimCenter, Thermoflow or Industry equivalent)


    Assist to develop thermal performance testing procedures to demonstrate compliance with contractual performance guarantees which follow client requirements & standards.

    This work will include participation in the performance test / data collection and analysis of test results.


    Lead technical evaluations of effects GT upgrades will have on steam cycle components (HRSG/OTSG, STG, Condenser, Feedwater and other systems).


    Interface with other disciplines within or external to the company, communicating at a technical level that can be understood clearly.

    Preparation, Review & approval of PFDs, HFDs (Heat Flow Diagram), Heat & Mass balance

    Preparation, Review & approval of P&IDs

    Lead and participate design review meetings with client

    Prepare/review Equipment datasheets & review vendor data

    Prepare Operating control & Safeguarding philosophies
