As a leading power equipment manufacturer, service provider, and analytics and software vendor, GE understands industrial and power generation operations and has extensive experience optimizing plant operations.
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.
Plant Performance Service starts by collecting and aggregating all relevant performance data. This complete picture of key component and system level metrics is tracked in dashboards and reports, and is the foundation of all further activities. IMS experts monitor and analyze sensor data and derive calculated parameters and corrected parameters for comparison to baseline-expected values. Over two dozen key metrics are tracked.
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.
GE experts analyze your performance metrics across a complete range of operating modes and load factors – from minimum to partial to maximum capacity. Startup and shutdown efficiency is also a key target. Analysis in hand, GE uses a series of analytics-driven what-if scenarios to recommend prioritized actions to improve and optimize your operations.
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
