2. Enhancements to 2015 Power Study. A review of changes to the study’s methodology and input forms to simplify data input and present more meaningful results.
3. Appropriate Cogeneration Comparisons. A review of cogeneration methodology, peer selection, and best metrics for comparing your facility.
4. Data Driving Improvement. A review of a long-term client using data to drive improvement of their fleet over time.
5. How to Best Use Your Benchmarking Data. A discussion on the evolution of high start metrics as well as original equipment equivalency and how it impacts normalization of start metrics.
Platt brings 35 years of experience in the power generation industry. He has a comprehensive background in conventional steam and combustion turbines with gas, oil, and coal fuel experience.
Carrino has worked in domestic and international power sectors for more than 30 years. He is the manager for Solomon’s Power Study.
