ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed toward a method and device for increasing the energy efficiency of a power plant. The invention comprises monitoring the power consumption of a power plant subsystem. The subsystem being monitored should be a subsystem that directly influences a measurable condition that is related to generator output. The generator output of the power plant generator is monitored as a function of the measurable condition. The power consumption of the subsystem influencing the measurable condition is compared to generator. The subsystem power consumption can then be adjusted output.
