2. Compressor fouling. On-line water cleaning can restore part of the drop encountered.
3. Fuel lower heating value. In many plants on-line fuel analyzers have been introduced to not only monitor the turbine performance but toalso calculate the fuel payments, which are usually based on the energy content of the fuel.

4. Turbine back pressure. In thiscase, the operator is relatively limited since the operator cannot do anything about the downstream design. Unless there is some obstruction in theducting, which can beremoved, or if the duct has collapsed in a section the duct could be replaced.
Table 20-4 shows the effect of controllable losses in the output and heat rate of a typical Combined Cycle Power Plant. The gas turbine has to beoperated at a constant speed for power generation, and any slight variationin speed could result in major problems for the grid. Thus, the control of theload has to be by controlling the fuelinput, therefore, the turbine firingtemperature, and the inlet guide vane position, thus controlling the airflow. The effect of this is to try and maintain the exhaust temperature from the gasturbine at a relatively high value since this gas is used in the HRSG, and the effectiveness of the HRSG is dependent on maintaining this temperature.
