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.
