Industry Challenges
Problems We Solve
Load Variability & Ramp Events
Peaking and cycling units face rapid load changes that stress equipment and create emissions excursions that traditional CEMS struggle to capture accurately.
Heat Rate Degradation
Turbine and HRSG performance degrades over time from fouling, aging, and ambient conditions — small losses compound into millions in excess fuel cost annually.
Multi-Unit Dispatch Complexity
Combined-cycle and cogeneration facilities must balance electrical output, steam production, and emissions constraints simultaneously across multiple units.
Capabilities
Power Solutions
Turbine Emissions Monitoring
Real-time NOₓ, CO, and CO₂ monitoring for gas turbines using existing control system data — compliance-grade accuracy approved by AER and AEP.
Heat Rate Optimization
ES-OptiEnergy continuously analyzes turbine and HRSG performance to surface heat-rate improvement opportunities the control room would otherwise miss.
Combined-Cycle Analytics
End-to-end performance monitoring across gas turbine, HRSG, and steam turbine — optimizing the integrated cycle for maximum output per unit of fuel.
HRSG Performance
Monitor heat recovery steam generator efficiency, detect tube fouling and degradation, and optimize supplemental firing for maximum energy recovery.
Cogeneration Optimization
Balance electrical and thermal output from CHP systems — optimize dispatch between power export, steam production, and facility heating requirements.
Closed-Loop Optimization
Combine ES-PEMS™ emissions data with ES-OptiEnergy performance analytics for closed-loop optimization — simultaneously reduce emissions and improve efficiency.
