Thermal Performance
Thermal Performance Services
Over 30 years of expertise in thermodynamic theories and procedures
Thermal performance is the overall evaluation of a power plant’s electrical production with respect to its fuel consumption expressed in heat rate. For nuclear power plants, an improved heat rate will translate to more electricity being provided to the grid and increased revenue to the plant.
GSE’s thermal performance solutions are focused on maximizing commercial advantage through increased efficiencies, reliability, and optimization of power/fuel ratios. We bring significant engineering and plant experience to our suite of analytical services.
