Planning for What’s Next
Can Steam Power help us determine if it’s financially viable to convert our operation to another fuel source, or keep our site available in cold reserve for peak power demand periods?Absolutely. We can perform a full risk-based health assessment on your steam turbine and generator equipment, which can be used to calculate the costs of keeping your assets operating in a coal-fired configuration for scenarios such as cold reserve.
Additionally, our Energy Consulting sister business can help you assess financial models for converting your operation to alternate fuel sources such as a gas configuration, or investing in renewable options. These assessments can arm you with a holistic picture of your options to make a data-driven decision on your operating strategy.
Are there steps that can be taken now to prepare for a run-to-conversion strategy that’s years down the road? You can have a full risk-based health assessment performed on your steam turbine and generator equipment at any time to assess their current condition, identify operating risk levels over time and understand costs associated with continuing to operate them in a different fuel configuration.
