Power Generation Performance Monitoring

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.
