Termoelectrica is the largest energy company in Romania and the proposed study and subsequent implementation should provide it with a much needed mechanism for cost control and efficiency improvements. The major goal of this project is to evaluate the need and requirements for the replacement of obsolete analog control systems at 9 Termoelectrica plants with modern process control and optimization systems. The project would identify Termoelectrica needs and look at the currently available solution packages that are considered acceptable by the industry. The proposed project is aimed at the following general targets: ? Monitoring unit efficiency (including fuel consumption, losses, produced energy, use of water and chemicals, planned and forced maintenance, station auxiliary loads, etc.); ? Evaluating total production costs (real time); ? Evaluating unit dispatch; ? Evaluating unit commitment procedures; ? Optimization of maintenance periods. The survey would lay the groundwork for upgrading the controls and instrumentation of up to 9 power plants and their control rooms with modern, digital, computerized equipment. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $531,750 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA). A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and a background definitional mission report are available from TDA, at 1621 N.
