Challenges
Turning data into visibility, insights, and actions
Faced with the challenge of providing economic and reliable power as demand and fuel prices fluctuate, PSEG needed to maintain a profitable business with their existing power generation assets. At the same time, PSEG leadership recognized the value of leveraging data from their plants to make more informed decisions about operations and market opportunities.
Solutions
Generating competitive power
To achieve PSEG’s digital transformation, GE Digital’s team of experts focused on the Linden plant, installing Operations Performance Management (OPM) to capture data from machine sensors, applying sophisticated analytics and creating insights that drive more profitable decisions for PSEG. A Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics (RM&D) center was created to help drive PSEG’s key performance indicators for system availability, thermal performance, and operations flexibility.

Results
Increasing reliability and improving operations
PSEG improved performance with an integrated view that puts the plant manager and their trading counterpart on the same page. Automatic notifications alert the plant manager to any operational anomalies in order to prevent risky operations. Cloud-based visibility, insights and actions keep leadership focused on achieving their continuous improvement initiatives including identifying opportunities to improve thermal performance, increase operational flexibility and reliability.
