This is the process of rationalization of energy and production of the data related to energy considering quantifiable external variable which are beyond control of DC

Internal factors for normalization

· Capacity utilization

· Product mix & intermediary product

· Fuel mix

· Power mix and fuel quality

· Low PLF

· Raw material quality

· Biomass /alternate fuel utilization

· Addition of new units

· Renewable energy

External factors for normalization

· Grid failure/break down

· Natural disaster (flood, earth quake)

· Major change in Government policy

          ( policy affecting plant process system

· Environmental concerns

           (Environment requirements)
