  • Publication number: 20160076458
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for treating a surface, such as a gas turbine surface, with a filming agent using an inlet air cooling device. A filming control system includes a storage tank configured to contain a filming agent; an inlet air cooling device; and a supply conduit coupled to the storage tank on a first end and the inlet air cooling device on a second end; wherein the filming control system is configured to deliver the filming agent from the storage tank and to discharge the filming agent through the air inlet cooling device and the filming agent includes siloxane, fluorosilane, mercapto silane, amino silane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, succinic anhydride silane, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing.

  • Publication number: 20150227875
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to analyzing costs, and more particularly, to analyzing costs associated with a power plant asset. In one embodiment, a system can include a first sensor and a first computer communicatively coupled to the first sensor. The first computer can be configured to automatically obtain via the first sensor, a first set of performance parameters of the first power plant asset over a period of time. The first computer can be further configured to compute from the first set of performance parameters, a first cost factor that is defined, at least in part, on the basis of an amount of electric power generated by the first power plant asset over the period of time.
