An EPRI-sponsored conference to address heat rate improvement of existing fossil fuel plants was held in Richmond, Virginia, on May 10--12, 1988. The conference was attended by 426 representatives from utilities and consulting firms. The meeting was organized around several themes: utility experience with heat rate improvement, including monitoring and overall programs; technology development to assist heat rate improvements; and testing to make accurate evaluations of heat rate both for monitoring performance and for evaluating the changes resulting from modified equipment and practices. Group discussions were held on several topics: Instrumentation and Performance Monitoring; Computer Application; Coal Quality Measurements; Boiler Performance Testing and Optimization; Turbine Monitoring and Diagnostics; and Feedwater Heaters and Condensers. Individual projects are processed separately for the databases.
