Abstract
Chronic problems that adversely affect plant heat rate typically take a secondary role compared to acute problems requiring minimal diagnostic expertise simply because the acute problems are easier to find and treat without allocating expensive expert resources. However, the cumulative cost of these chronic problems often far exceeds that of the acute problems. The ability to diagnose and correct chronic performance problems at the site without waiting for expert assistance to be made available therefore represents a significant benefit to any power plant.
