An EPRI-sponsored workshop to address heat rate improvement of existing fossil-fuel plants was held in San Francisco, California on October 9-11, 1985. Pacific Gas and Electric Company was the host for the meeting, which was attended by 240 representatives from 65 utilities, 36 manufacturers and consulting firms, and several public agencies. The workshop was held to provide a forum for participants to meet and discuss current issues and problems of heat rate improvement, and to exchange information on means to achieve increased efficiency. The meeting was organized around three principal themes: utility experience with heat rate improvement, including monitoring and overall programs; technology developments to assist heat rate improvement; and testing to make accurate evaluations of heat rate, both for monitoring performance and for evaluating the changes resulting from modified equipment and practices. In addition, there were working group discussions on: instrumentation and performance monitoring; heat rate improvement program; ASME performance test codes; and equipment efficiency improvements. Individual papers have been entered into EDB and ERA.
