Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to Develop the Weighting of Key Performance Indicators on Gas Engine Power Plants

Power plants as electricity producers need to be maintained using monitoring performance and continuous improvements. Company management of power plant is difficult to make a decision for the continuous improvement, requires Performance Measurement Tools (PMT) to determine the performance of a gas engine power plant. PMT developed using Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that was defined through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with different field of expertise in company and based on references and the weighting of KPI criterion that was developed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This study has developed the weight of KPI that the weight of each criterion which will be used as a reference is Rank 1 – Power Output (MW) – PO (70.81%), Rank 2 – Heat Rate (Btu/kWh) – HR (14.91%), Operating Ratio (%) – OR (8.06%) and Rank 4 – Capacity Factor (%) – CF (6.22%).
