Case Studies

A client in the power generation sector needed specialized support for an internal software tool used to analyze and benchmark operational data. Over time, the tool had grown in complexity and adoption, creating a need for expert review of its underlying architecture and hands-on assistance with applied use cases.

A power generation client needed to understand whether maintenance activities had impacted the firing temperature of their heavy-duty gas turbine fleet. Changes in firing temperature can significantly affect both performance and component life, making accurate assessment critical for operational decision-making and long-term asset management.

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 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 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 expand their monitoring and diagnostic capabilities for aeroderivative gas turbines. While digital twin technology had proven valuable for frame-type units, the client needed similar capabilities extended to a different class of equipment, along with support for implementing advanced combustion monitoring techniques.
