| dc.description.abstract | Project evaluation necessarily requires performance estimates over the project life cycle. In contrast to new and clean conditions, extended life performance inherently introduces additional complexity and variability in developing such estimates, due to changing operating environment, maintenance policies, operating procedures, equipment availabilities, etc. This paper discusses the general nature, and the thermal interaction of power plant components as individual equipment degradation occurs, describing overall plant performance trends and quantifying typical ranges for a given application. A specific cogeneration example will be discussed and the economic effects of life cycle performance with various plant design assumptions will be shown. Design considerations to minimize long term performance degradation will also be described. | en |
