The UCF was originally creaed to meet the needs of a major Northeast utility to track outages and derates as required to report their
generation capabilities into the power markets. What has since become the COMPASS product is still in constant use and enhancements
are still being added to increase it's functionality and usefulness.

Six Sigma 4-Block methodology is used to report on Mill Availability, Equal Availability
Factor, Efficiency, Heat rate, and Forced/Planned Outages.

To identify improvements in heat rate and reduce costs, custom calculations and analysis for
fossil-fired plants including fleetwide and unit-specific performance are provided. Calculations
include actual heat rate, expected heat rate, heat rate loss, turbine efficiencies, turbine
generator losses, condenser performance, boiler accountable losses, air heater trends, predicted
heat rate, and a variety of other factors.

In order to monitor the performance and cost of NOx output throughout a fleet in terms of generation
load, ECG designed a NOx web reporting application. With this, users quickly view and react to
trends in Expected Cost Versus Actual NOx Costs, Estimated Savings, Actual Generation Above Estimated
Cost, and Expected Versus Actual NOx emissions.

BoilerCam integrates with standard camera systems and aids in correlating boiler
visualization with process data. A PI ProcessBook add-in allows users to correlate
and identify changes in PI data with camera images.

Designed to replace a paper-based process, the Protection Tagging System is a web-based
Lockout/Tagout system safeguarding plant operators from unexpected energization or startup
of machinery and equipment during maintenance activities. This is another example of a
custom software package that has since become part of ECG's regular product line .
