<p>Systems and methods for analyzing power plant data include accessing data for one or more monitored parameters, generating a continuous time-series profile model (212) (e.g., by generalized additive model and/or principal curves techniques) of selected parameters during instances of at least one given type of power plant operation, and conducting shape analysis (214) by comparing the continuous time-series profile model of selected monitored parameters to an entitlement curve representing ideal performance for the at least one given type of power plant operation. Data associated with the profile modeling and shape analysis techniques may be provided as electronic output to a user (224). Additional steps or features may involve determining a capability index (216) for selected monitored parameters, clustering together (218) identified groups of profile models having similar profiles, monitoring (220) and/or optimizing parameters (222) to identify and improve power plant performance</p> |
