Easing the Transition: GE Digital Software That Predicts Trouble Is Helping Make Cleaner Energy Possible

One day in March, Walid Kodia and his team got an alert about a possible problem in one of the power plants he helps oversee at Tunisia’s state-owned electricity and gas utility, Société Tunisienne de l'Electricité et du Gaz (STEG). Gas turbines, which provide most of the power to STEG, are complicated machines that have an array of sensors to tell their operators when something’s off. This alert came from software running at GE Power’s monitoring and diagnostics center in Atlanta, staffed by engineers and data analysts.

It’s termed a retrofit, but the coming upgrade at Loy Yang B power station in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley is more like a complete organ transplant for a body that’s otherwise got plenty of life left in it.

Part 1: Energy Efficiency is Our Future

July 21, 2014
“There can be no economy where there is no efficiency.” The words of Benjamin Disraeli have never been truer than in the modern energy landscape. Efficiency is one of the most important tools we have for controlling the bottom line of our energy production. More than that, it is a vital element of any country’s economic progression and security. According to Accenture’s report “Catching the ASEAN wave”, the ASEAN region’s economy is projected to grow by US$735 billion by 2020. The population is expected to grow from 633 million to 717 million by 2030.
