Today, there are many electricity production methods. Thermal power plants are still widely used for electricity production from hydrocarbon sources as one of the electricity generation options. Due to their complex structure, thermal power plants are composed of sections that interact with each other, and they are called units. A change in the performance of any unit or equipment affects the operation of the entire plant positively or negatively. Therefore, performance monitoring and evaluation systems are designed to support the measurement and monitoring of the performance of plant and equipment. In order to increase the availability of the plant, equipment-based maintenance plans should be prepared according to the maintenance needs of the equipment. In this study, a power plant performance monitoring and evaluation system has been developed and designed using process parameters approach for the parameters affecting the performance of the plant. In order to monitor and evaluate the performance of thermal power plants, the requirements of the system were revealed and the efficiency and performance increases to be achieved by designing and using this system specific to a natural gas power plant were examined and results are given.
