(OP)
I work at a combined cycle plant and we also send steam to 2 hosts. Where can I get information or how can I calculate the heat rate when taking this into consideration?

RE: 7FA Steam Adjusted Heat Rate
Gas Turbine Heat Rate as follows;
Heat Rate = Fuel Flow * Fuel Heating Value / Power Output to result in "X" BTU's/Kwh
For an overall plant or facility heat rate, you'll probably want to use the billing meters for both gas and electricity – and this should therefore be a net heat rate for the facility (after all auxiliary and house loads have been accounted for.as well as the steam flow to your 2 hosts.
The techniques re easily found on the internet
