Steam Turbine Operation and Maintenance Exponent has a variety of experience in working with energy companies to reliably extend turbine inspection intervals, defer expensive traditional maintenance, and relax operating constraints. Utilizing our patented miniature material sampling system for estimating aging degradation and our state-of-the-art integrity evaluation computer code developed for the Electric Power Research Institute, we have been able to help many clients achieve significant increases in productivity.
Power Plant Assessment Exponent initiated and is currently working on a project in partnership with AES, Ltd., a leading international IPP company, to develop a combined-cycle, gas-fired power plant in Poland. The project location is in northern Poland on Lake Zarnowiec, the site of an unfinished nuclear plant. The system, to be built in modules (the first of 250 MWe to go on-line at the onset of the new millennium), represents a state-of-the-art, environmentally compliant plant designed to effectively use natural gas.
Power Plant Life Extension Exponent's Polish energy company, EPiD, developed a strategic plan for the life extension of one of the largest brown coal power plants in Europe. EPiD, with its highly qualified specialists, offers its customers and partners in Central Europe a wide range of services in energy systems analysis and design, facilities cost estimating, project formulation and feasibility, and plant operation.
