Syntha 2000 helps electric utilities and independent power producers operate more efficiently by simulating the precise physical and performance conditions of existing or proposed plants. Benefits include:

Syntha 2000 analyzes thermal performance of gas and steam electric power plants, gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators and combined cycle systems. It evaluates fossil-fueled plants, both turbine and boiler, as well as nuclear plant turbine and balance-of-plant cycles. The software also models coal gasifiers and pressurized fluidized bed combustors. Syntha 2000 carries engineers from design to acceptance to operation and through the entire life of a generating unit.

Syntha 2000 software is used for:

RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY

Syntha 2000 has the industry's most powerful and reliable foundation, incorporating more industry experience and allowing more user flexibility than simpler programs.

Syntha 2000 gives you data you can rely on. All models are solved within the confines of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and the program's convergence criteria. (If thermodynamic violations occur or the specified convergence criteria cannot be met, Syntha 2000 uses the closest valid data and identifies which streams and components cause the limits and by how much.)

PROVEN SOLUTIONS

Syntha software has been important in the design, improvement and evaluation of power systems in the United States and around the world. More than 350 plants - fossil, nuclear, combined cycle/cogeneration, gas turbine and steam production - have been studied, optimized or analyzed. Vendors (boiler and turbine), consultants, architect-engineers and operators use Syntha programs to improve the cost-effectiveness of power production. Models are used for designing new power cycles or for evaluating existing plants.

SUBSTANTIAL RETURNS

Syntha clients have frequently reported payback periods as short as three weeks when using Syntha 2000. And even small increases in efficiency result in enormous fuel savings. One U.S. utility attributes fuel savings of over $3M per year directly to their application of Syntha.
