Abstract

A monitoring apparatus for a steam plant comprises a sensor unit 110 associated with a component of the steam plant, the sensor unit 110 being configured to provide an output indicative of the operating condition of the component. The sensor unit 110 has a plurality of operating modes, each operating mode having a different resource usage. A selector 130 selects one of the plurality of operating modes based on a current operating condition of the steam plant. The invention also includes a method of operating such an apparatus.
