All proposed changes are validated on simulation model prior to implementation for installations. Operating margin from the system and component limits are verified for sufficient room to operate for emergency and or abnormal operating responses. In addition, the equipment reliabilities are also driven by maintenance initiates to determine optimum maintenance cycles and projected outage durations. This determination of various dataset are helpful in scheduling and decision making processes to operate components and system away from dangers of breakdown or forced outages.
Avoidance of low margins and safe operation of components is always beneficial to the organizations and appreciated by the regulating standards. In consistence with industry practices of operating and maintaining the components, it is more favorable for the industry and commercial businesses to avoid fines imposed by regulatory corporations. Identifications of low margin issues is possible with careful considerations during technical design change evaluation process and effectively mitigated with strategies and prior to implementation of design changes.
At Salient EP, we encourage our clients to validate expected operating parameters beforehand with the help of simulation model and results; these validation is useful in overall tuning of the system components to drive efficient performance of existing installation with integrations of modifications.
