Energy Management and Reporting Systems (EMRS) have proven effective in reducing powerhouse cost. These cost reductions are achieved through effective management of equipment operation, fuel allocation, combustion optimization, and generation management by a real time closed loop control system. The application of consistent operating rules, techniques and risk tolerance across all operating shifts increases reliability and reduces the number of unscheduled outages. This paper presents an automated calculation methodology to identify and capture those savings.
