Power Generation Performance Monitoring

BKOAI combined real-time monitoring, troubleshooting guidance, and maintenance analytics to improve visibility into power-generation performance

Goals

  • Enable real-time asset monitoring and troubleshooting across power-generation systems.
  • Support a transition from reactive maintenance to predictive planning.
  • Bring operational and maintenance data together for a more complete view of plant performance.
  • Help operators identify performance deviations and prioritize follow-up actions.

Challenges

  • Small performance deviations can increase operating costs in complex power-generation systems.
  • Siloed operational and maintenance data make plant-wide performance analysis difficult.
  • Identifying the causes of abnormal equipment behavior requires information from multiple sources.
  • Reactive maintenance makes it difficult to address developing equipment issues proactively.

Solutions

  • Deploy integrated dashboards to bring critical operating and performance information into one view.
  • Use machine-learning anomaly detection to flag unusual equipment behavior for investigation.
  • Provide root-cause analysis guidance to help operations teams investigate abnormalities.
  • Connect operational and maintenance information to support troubleshooting and maintenance planning.

Results

  • Improved visibility into thermal-performance losses and operating deviations.
  • Supported faster troubleshooting through access to integrated performance information.
  • Supported predictive maintenance planning using equipment-condition insights.
