Raising Power Plants’ Efficiency in Kerman,Yazd

To improve the efficiency of gas-powered turbines the Energy Ministry’s Niroo Research Institute is implementing the “Condition Monitoring” (CM) system in Kerman and Yazd thermal power plants, deputy head for technology affairs of the institute said.
“The plan will cost $3.5 million and is expected to raise thermal power plants’ efficiency by 1%,” Mohsen Marjanmehr was quoted as saying by ISNA.
Gas-turbine engines are critical to the operation of power plants. CM is essential to improve operation reliability and reducing maintenance cost. It plays an important role in avoiding breakdown and hazardous accidents, he added. 
“CM systems help determine engine maintenance needs as per operational conditions rather than being performed at fixed intervals.”
