Performance Evaluation of Egbin Thermal Power Station, Nigeria
نویسنده
چکیده
The main objective of this Paper was to evaluate the outage cost due to system downtime (Turbine failure) of Egbin Thermal power station from the year 1999 to 2008. The result of the analysis carried out revealed that for the whole ten years under review that there was a power generation loss of 46 percent of the Installed capacity putting the performance of the power station at 54 percent. Further investigation which is the aim of the paper revealed that the 46 percent of production loss resulted to revenue loss to the tune of $24,186,569,250. However a simple performance indicator was developed to evaluate the outage cost for the station which can also be applicable to other power station in Nigeria and beyond.

In order to keep and improve the position of thermal power generation companies in the competitive market, performance evaluation is necessary. BSC is one of the most efficient performance evaluation models. In this model, there are two assumptions of equal weights of perspectives and equal weights of performance evaluation indicators, which are not necessarily true in real-world problems. BWM ...

متن کاملEarthquake Evaluation of the Non Structural Elements in a Thermal Power Plant
Non Structural elements such as mechanical, electrical and architectural elements always posses serious damage potentials during earthquakes. Degree of damage imposed by the non structural elements is not usually measured by the physical damages caused, but more so by the amount of the economical and functional disruptions created in a built environment. This phenomenon is enhanced where the fu...
