Fleet asset optimization.

Efficient, reliable, sustainable fossil fuel generation

Fossil fuels will remain the mainstay of energy production well into the 21st century, but they will need to provide clean, affordable energy.

Existing fleets of gas, nuclear and coal generation need to sustain electric power demand for some time to come as new renewables and clean generation are brought into the system, as ways to operate T&D grids more efficiently are found, and as customers become involved in demand response and energy efficiency programs. 

KEMA helps clients optimize current assets and deploy the latest technology to decrease emissions while building a “new energy platform”. Our power generation solutions include: 

Generation Efficiency – Fuel optimization, combustion optimization, thermo dynamic modeling, boiler/HRSG efficiency, turbine efficiency, dispatch / AGC, storage and reserves 

 

Generation Reliability– Condition based maintenance, corrosion management, protection schemes, operational excellence, cooling water management, combustion management 

Generation Sustainability – Life extension plans, fleet fuel mix conversions, biomass / co-firing, renewable energy, fleet asset optimization, smart & green technologies   

Environmental Management – Emissions management, projections & dispersion, carbon footprint optimization, ash management, CO2 sequestration, SCR, scrubbers & filters.
