Abstract
The performance monitoring system in the power plant should have the capability to estimate power generation efficiency accurately. Several power generation efficiency models have been proposed for the combined heat and power (CHP) plant which produces both electricity and process steam(or heating energy, hereinafter expressed by process steam only). However, most of the models are not sufficiently accurate due to the wrong evaluation of the process steam value. The study suggests Electricity Conversion Efficiency (ECE) model with determination of the heat rate of process steam using operational data. The suggested method is applied to the design data and the resulted trajectory curve of power generation efficiency meets the data closely with R2 99.91%. This result confirms that ECE model with determination of the model coefficient using the operational data estimate the efficiency so accurately that can be used for performance monitoring of CHP plant.
