Excellence Generation, Reliability and Availability

EGCO Group aims to enhance its electricity generation capacity to become a power producer excellence by seeking new efficient and environmentally friendly technology for its production process, for example, adopting technology solution TOMONI™ at Khanom Power Plant that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of the power plant by increasing the temperature of exhausts from gas turbine, reducing energy consumption, and speeding up the response for any problem, thus increases machine reliability and avoids unplanned shutdown. In addition, EGCO Group has monitored the efficiency of machinery operation at each power plant constantly to maintain production efficiency of the plants and has set availability control value as a key performance indicator (KPI) of power plants which is also used for evaluating the performance of staffs at the power plants.
