Plant Performance Service

Renewable energy is changing both the operating models and profitability pressures of traditional power plants. Maintaining and improving plant efficiency and cost factors across today’s fluctuating operation modes and loads demands deep analytical domain expertise coupled with extensive experience on the equipment and O&M processes.

GE’s turnkey outsourced Plant Performance Service offer you just that – without the need to expand staffing or acquire new technology. GE IMS experts become advisors and partners to your team, bringing years of experience along with GE OPM software and Digital Twin analytics tuned to improve your key performance and cost metrics. Weekly, monthly and quarterly reviews with your team track and drive results.

Performance degradation is a common occurrence yet can be difficult to detect and to determine causality. But with performance baselines established and Digital Twin analytics trained and deployed, GE teams are able to quickly detect any emerging fluctuations. Once identified, the customer is alerted and receives a diagnostic analysis of probable cause along with remediation guidance.

Fuel cost and efficiency are the number one cost-related concern of generators, and therefore a key aspect of all monitoring activities and strategic improvement guidance. Fuel costs are tracked and analyzed across all operational phases and loads, and are core to the financial benefit analysis done for any proposed actions

Plant Performance Service is based on proven GE Digital Operations Performance Management (OPM) software and Digital Twin analytics – recognized as a leading solution for plant performance. Should direct software ownership or subscription be in your long-term interest, the GE IMS team will ensure a seamless transition and continue to offer any operation, monitoring or strategic services that meet your needs.
