Power Generation Performance Monitoring

Overview

We solved asset monitoring, troubleshooting guidance, maintenance optimization, and efficiency improvement with real-time data, enhancing decision-making and trust.

Challenge

Power generation units operate under complex conditions where minor deviations can have major cost and efficiency impacts. Without integrated monitoring, many issues remain hidden until they escalate.

• Hidden Inefficiencies: Minor deviations in performance often go unnoticed until they lead to significant output or cost impacts.
• Data Silos: Operational and maintenance data are often separated, limiting holistic analysis.
• Reactive Maintenance: Without timely insights, teams rely on after-the-fact diagnostics, increasing downtime risk.

Solution

• Integrated Performance Dashboards: Centralized visualization of power block KPIs (heat rate, efficiency, loading patterns) enables proactive response.
• Anomaly Detection Models: ML models detect performance deviations and provide early warnings for combustion, steam cycle, or auxiliary equipment issues.
• Root Cause Support: Embedded logic aids operations teams in tracing abnormalities to specific system behaviors or external drivers.

Key Benefits

• Optimized Efficiency: Identify and correct subtle losses in thermal performance.
• Faster Troubleshooting: Enable quicker identification of problem areas.
• Extended Equipment Life: Support predictive maintenance and reduce stress-related degradation.
