Abstract
Energy Management and Reporting Systems (EMRS) have proven effective in reducing powerhouse cost. These cost reductions are provided through effective management of equipment operation, fuel allocation, combustion optimization, and generation management by a real time closed loop control system. A recent finding is that the application of consistent operating rules across all operating shifts increases reliability and the reduction of unscheduled outages. This paper presents an automated calculation methodology to identify and capture those savings.
