Case Studies

A power generation company sought to enhance their gas turbine fleet monitoring capabilities, particularly around combustion dynamics. They needed a solution that could provide early detection of anomalous behavior related to instrumentation issues, tuning problems, and potential hardware damage before these issues led to costly unplanned outages or equipment damage.

Gas turbine monitoring and diagnostics centers frequently encounter false alarms that consume valuable time and resources. Many of these false alarms stem from issues within the instrumentation chain: sensors that have drifted, failed, or produced corrupted data during transmission or storage.

A client needed to expand their gas turbine monitoring and diagnostic capabilities to cover additional equipment types within their fleet. Existing digital twin models were limited to certain turbine configurations, creating gaps in their ability to perform comprehensive performance analysis across all assets.

A utility-scale solar plant operator sought to transition from reactive and preventative maintenance practices toward more cost-effective condition-based approaches. The challenge was identifying performance anomalies and equipment issues early enough to reduce energy losses and maintenance costs, while minimizing false alarms that waste operational resources.

A power generation operator sought to understand the feasibility of transitioning their existing gas turbine fleet to operate on hydrogen-blended fuels as part of a broader decarbonization strategy. The fleet included multiple turbine models from different manufacturers, and the operator needed clarity on technical limitations, operational impacts, and facility modifications that would be required to support alternative fuel blending.

A client in the power generation sector sought to explore how emerging digital twin technologies could be applied to improve asset reliability and operational intelligence. While the concept of digital twins had gained significant traction across industries, there was uncertainty about which specific applications would deliver meaningful value for their particular equipment and operational challenges.
