Site Assessment

Build the ECOMAX+ outcome map for your site or fleet

A successful ECOMAX+ implementation starts with a practical assessment of your turbine configuration, controls, operating constraints, tuning history, hardware findings, and economic drivers. NAES can help identify candidate units, quantify the potential annual value, define technical integration requirements, and establish a low-risk path to prove the outcome.

What NAES reviews

Four review categories

Machine and Controls

Turbine frame and combustor configuration, control platform and revision, network architecture, OEM or non-OEM combustion hardware, fuel set and operating modes.

Instrumentation and Constraints

CDMS and combustion sensor availability, NOx and CO permit limits, CEMS basis, dynamics and flame-stability limits, historian availability, scan rates and calibration practices.

Performance and Acceptance

Seasonal tuning history, recurring operating problems, load profile, run hours and starts, ambient operating range, heat-rate and output baseline, target KPIs, test procedure and acceptance basis.

Business Drivers

Recoverable MW, heat-rate value, fuel cost, capacity value, steam value where applicable, manual tuning expense, maintenance and refurbishment exposure, outage or derate history, emissions risk.

Low-risk implementation path

Six steps from screening to scale

  1. 01

    Screen

    Confirm turbine frame, controls, sensors, constraints, and data availability.

  2. 02

    Baseline

    Review output, heat rate, emissions, events, tuning history, and hardware findings.

  3. 03

    Engineer

    Define I/O, network architecture, limits, control narrative, test plan, and fallback behavior.

  4. 04

    Install

    Plan physical installation, controls integration, and site requirements.

  5. 05

    Commission

    Tune, validate, train operators, and confirm alarms, permissives, overrides, and fallback behavior.

  6. 06

    Measure

    Track KPIs, validate results, and define the path to scale across units or modules.

What happens next

Screen

NAES confirms turbine frame, controls, sensors, constraints, and data availability.

Baseline

Output, heat rate, emissions, tuning history, and hardware findings are reviewed.

Engineer & Propose

NAES defines the integration path and the value opportunity specific to your site.

Start with the unit where the operating constraint is visible, financially material, and measurable.

Results vary by turbine configuration, combustion hardware, controls platform, operating profile, baseline condition, fuel conditions, emissions requirements, and site-specific objectives. All performance opportunities require site-specific engineering review and validation.
