Business Operational Challenges

• Con Edison Contract Provisions
• 20 Year Contract for 220MW 800,000 Lbs
  Steam/Hour
• Dictate Plant Operating Mode
• Curtailments - 50 or 100 up to 25
  Instances/Year before Penalty
• Conversions - Any Time/Duration (Steam to MW and
  MW to Steam)
• Payment Terms
• GDP Implicit Price Deflator - 3Q Previous Year
• NYMEX gas - Average 3 Day Closing back 5 Days
  from Month End
• Equivalent Availability - Calculated Hourly
  Based on Performance
• Fuel Scenarios
• Winter Cold Periods - Gas Uneconomic. Use Fuel
  Oil or shutdown plant?
• Summer Heat Periods - How to Maintain Contract

Why PI?

• Never Able to Configure Power Suite to Real Plant
  Environment
• Reports Were Not Valid and Had to Redo Manually
  Using Spreadsheets with Manual Input from Bailey
  Logs
• Power Suite Only Handled Under a Hundred Data
  Points and Was Unable to Support Technical
  Monitoring
• There Was a Need for Fast, User Friendly
  Interface to Support Operations and Business
  Decisions
