1 Scope
This document specifies standard rules for preparing, conducting, evaluating and reporting thermal performance tests on combined cycle and cogeneration power plants driven by gas turbines for base and part load operation with or without supplementary firing.
This document is applicable to
— thermal performance tests for general information,
— thermal acceptance tests for determining the performance of the combined cycle plant in relation to a contractual guarantee, and
— comparative tests designed to check the performance differentials of the combined cycle and cogeneration power plants , for testing before and after modifications, upgrades or overhauls.
It can be used to determine the following thermal performance test goals and expected values, under specific operating and reference conditions within defined test boundaries :
— electrical power output;
— heat rate or thermal e...
