We conduct heat balance analysis based on actual data and provide efficiency/ performance diagnosis which is indispensable for the operations of thermal power plants. We also provide remaining life diagnosis, non-destructive test, and so on which are necessary for maintenance through tie-ups with Energia Economic & Technical Research Institute. In particular, we offer new services of thinning, corrosion and cracking diagnosis by means of Field Signature Method (FSM). We offer operational improvements based on equipment surveys, efficient maintenance using robots, and accurate equipment diagnosis based on equipment service life diagnosis, as well as a variety of consulting services.

1. Plant performance management (Thermal analysis) We carry out boiler efficiency diagnosis through turbine heat balance analysis and actual data measurement. Thus, we provide optimal operating condition, etc. and propose methods for plant improvement. 【Achievement】 Chugoku Electric: 4 units Other enteprises: 3 unit		2. Thinning/cracking diagnosis by FSM (Field Signature Method) Analyzing potential difference in the damaged part makes it possible to diagnose thinning and cracking in the locations where until now measurement by UT had been difficult. 【Achievement】 Chugoku Electric: 7 cases
3. Boiler/turbine remaining life diagnosis We make remaining life diagnosis which is critical for boiler/turbine equipment management. Especially for boiler, we make diagnosis according to master curve derived from the real data of destructive test on actual equipment. 【Achievement】 Chugoku Electric: 16 units Other enterprises: 4 units		4. Biomass fuel combustion evaluation test In use of the abundant know-how of our coal combustion technology, we carry out co-firing test of coal and woody biomass to pursue the most suitable plan for practical use. 【Achievement】 Chugoku Electric: 2 cases
