ACC Primary Concerns Survey

[Andy Howell]

The ACCUG Steering Committee has decided to conduct a survey of ACC Interest personnel. The intent is to capture priority concerns for ACC operators in order to provide a focus on areas of highest interest to the industry for problem resolution.

If you are interested in responding, please send an email to ahowell@epri.com with something like the following, listing your top 3 ACC operating challenges that have not been adequately addressed:

(examples)
1 – generation loss in hot weather
2 – reliability of (fans, gearboxes, water-washing systems., etc)
3 – air in-leakage

You are welcome to describe any issue in more detail and to include information about the unit (power generating type, steam turbine MW, year operations commenced, etc.), and this further information would be helpful. However, in the interest of minimizing your time, just listing the top 3 challenges would be great.

This survey is open to anyone involved with the ACC industry, as many OEMs and support personnel have insights to these issues as well.

On behalf of the ACCUG Steering Committee –

Best regards,
