Performance Test for Power Plants and Energy Systems
Achieve guaranteed performance and maximise efficiency
The performance of power plants and energy systems is a crucial factor in determining a project’s financial success. Owners and operators need to ensure that the power plant reaches guaranteed performance and meets quality requirements.
We offer independent execution and third-party supervision of performance testing for all types of power plants (coal fired, oil fired, gas fired, waste-to-energy, biomass-to-energy, solar, wind, hydro) and components such as gas and steam turbines, boilers, condensers, cooling towers and gas compressors.
