Also, direct activities relating to continuing plant optimization of generation facilities.

The

Impact You’ll Make In This Role:

Lead in developing strategies for improving power plant performance through an effective monitoring program and performance evaluation process. Develop, implement and maintain analytical computer software used to track, evaluate and report plant performance.

Provide analytical support to the Fuels Department to help evaluate and select various fuels for power plant combustion.

Develop and maintain computer based performance models for each generating unit, which will guide the operations in adjusting process variables within their control to attain best possible power production efficiencies.

Coordinate activities to maintain a plant performance database and compile data used in reporting plant performance data for in-house and outside agencies (i.e., GADs, DOE (EIA), MISO, NERC, etc.).

Lead in the development and implementation of generation station performance testing, supporting plant performance improvement goals and objectives. Coordinate and oversee periodic power plant testing to develop and update baseline data for tracking of component heat balance and net station heat rate.

Be a resource for power plant staff on performance related topics.

Conduct thermodynamic analysis of power plant cycles/equipment using computer-modeling techniques where applicable. Identify and work to resolve deviations from standards or operating procedures. Create and publish test results providing information contributing to improved plant performance and efficiencies for plant operators and management.

Develop and maintain computer-based performance models, which will guide and attain best possible power production efficiencies. Use and evaluate computer programs to model the impact of operational changes and/or unit modifications on plant operations under the direction of plant management.

Initiate, plan, develop and implement performance related capital projects designed to improve and/or address plant performance issues. Perform engineering design calculations and sketches, independently or with technical assistance from staff engineers, consultants, and/or contractors.

Supervise testing of performance-related activities of contractors, vendors and assigned DPC staff.
