ThermoGen Power Services Inc. is a Canadian-

Based company that specializes in conducting

power plant performance evaluation services for

power generation, engineering service and EPC

companies around the world.

Our goal is to provide flexible and innovative

services to power generation companies looking to

measure, optimize, model, monitor or forecast

power plant performance in a cost-effective

manner.

We’ve combined field services with engineering

analysis to provide power generators a competitive

edge by optimizing their equipment performance.

The benefits directly impact their financial returns in

the short and long term.

Who we are?

Engineering TeamThermoGen Power Services Inc. has a team of

experienced performance engineers that specialize

in conducting on-site field evaluations as well

creating plant models to measure, diagnostic and

optimize power plant performance.

We specialize in analyzing the performance of:

Gas Turbines

Steam Turbines

Combined Cycles

Fossil Fuel Boilers (PC & CFBB)

Reciprocating Engines

Wind Turbines

Most of our engineers speak several languages

including English, Spanish and French, that

translates in providing fast on-site evaluations

around the world. This skill allows our team to

quickly gain additional insight on specific issues on

site removing language as a potential

communication or cultural barrier.

LTSA Periodic Performance Evaluation

Before and After Outage Evaluation

Remote Services

TGPS works together with customers that have Long Term Service

Agreements with the OEMs of power generation equipment that include

performance guarantees. TGPS ensures that the guarantees are

evaluated properly in accordance with the contractual service agreement

and the applicable protocols. Most of our engineers have worked for the

major OEMs and are fully aware of the contractual details to ensure our

customers are fully covered.

TGPS can evaluate your equipment performance before and after an

outage to ensure the return on investment made on equipment upgrades

and plant improvements is accomplished. Our group has produced and

conducted hundreds of “Before and After” tests which can clearly

quantify the effect and added value of the modifications purchased for

your plant. This service also is conducted during major outages to

identify potential performance shortfalls after maintenance conducted on

the equipment.

TGPS is all about results, so we provide the services to monitor your

plant performance without the need to spend a fortune on IT equipment.

We have experienced that frequently evaluating with certainty the

performance of your plant equipment is more effective than collecting

every second data from you plant that not many people cares. We

translate data to information and provide recommendations for you to

take decisions effectively. We will use the latest telecommunications

technologies to share data and get in touch most of the times in a

monthly basis.

ThermoGen Power Services provides a wide range of testing services

to companies that build, operate and/or own power plants around the

world. TGPS can act as a consultant to witness or to execute the

performance evaluation programs.

Test Execution

Test Witness

New Unit/Plant Thermal Performance Evaluation

Produce and execute a test program based on the contractual

requirements of the project, this includes creating test procedures,

bringing to site precision instrumentation and providing the final results

report.

If a different party is responsible for proving performance, we can review

and verify the test protocol, witness the performance test and verify the

submitted test reports and calculations.

This is a list of typical evaluation programs we get involved.

TGPS will conduct/witness the performance evaluation to ensure that the

guarantees are evaluated in accordance with the internationally accepted

protocols (ASME, IEC, ASTM, AGA, ISO etc…) and contractual

specifications. When purchasing equipment it is of the utmost

importance to ensure the supplier has satisfied its contractual

obligations. TGPS will provide you with independent verification that the

equipment manufacturer claims are met.

On-Site Performance Testing


Services

TGPS can create a thermodynamics model of your plant.

Some of the purpose of the models we create are the following.

Evaluate Current Plant Performance

Total Plant Modeling

Financial/Performance Modeling

These models are either excel-based or programmed as an stand-alone

application for our customers to gain insight on the current performance

of their plant. After a short training period they can evaluate by

themselves the plant performance. These models can be used, for

example, to evaluate performance guarantees under Long-Term Service

Agreements and/or to evaluate the performance of the units before and

after scheduled maintenance.

These are more elaborated models that are used not only to evaluate but

also to understand the effects of plant modifications. These models take

a total-systems approach and are used to understand the current plant

capabilities and understand different upgrade/modification scenarios

under a wide range of conditions.

TGPS has worked with financial institutions, services and power

generation companies to validate the long-term effect of plant

performance modifications. The modeling services take into account not

only the current plant conditions, but also the long-term effect of

degradation, statistical analysis of pricing scenarios for fuel and

electricity as well as risk assessment and underwriting support. The

information generated from these services allow our customers to make

sound decisions on how to allocate their plant investments.

Our services include the following:

Long-term and short term analysis of renewable resources such as

wind and solar radiation.

Conduct risk analysis to account for different long-term cost and

price scenarios, equipment degradation and/or interconnectivity

costs.

Sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact of project costs, electricity

prices, fuel costs, financial structure, long term debt and costs of

capital over the main financial ratios such as NPV, IRR and Payback

period.

Include into the feasibility studies with accuracy the O&M costs of

the plant over an extended period to analyze the benefits of

Long-Term Service Agreement and or outsourcing the O&M activities.

Define and review the performance guarantees for the development

project.

Third-party audit for the technical specification of the project under

development.

the technical analysis into the financial and risk assessment

evaluations.

Development


Project Examples

TGPS conducted all the performance testing

related activities for a 365 MW Power Plant

Located in Mejillones, Chile.

The plant consists of two power generation

blocks (165MW each) powered by state-of-the-

art Circulating Fluidized Combustion Bed Boilers

(CFBB) that produce steam used by Steam

Turbines. This technology is proven to be the

cleanest coal power generation technology.

TGPS conducted the following activities. These

services were conducted while the plant operated

on coal and petcoke.
