Cost-effective and undisturbed power plant operations

Knowing exact steam turbine performance at all times

The Valmet DNA Steam Turbine Performance Monitoring application continuously calculates, displays and stores main steam turbine parameters. Calculations include steam turbine energy balance and other key values depending on the steam turbine type and need. The results indicate which part of the steam turbine heat input is actually utilized to actually utilized and which part is lost in condensation or other losses. All calculations are built in accordance with generally accepted industrial standards.

The application helps power plant maintenance and operating personnel detect potential problems in steam turbine operation and analyze those that have occurred. This prevents failures proactively – before they cause unpredicted shutdowns.

Additionally, extensive storage of history data enables long-term monitoring of gradual component deterioration, such as turbine blade deposit accumulation, for significantly improved maintenance planning.
