Case Studies

A client sought to better understand the real-world performance benefits of bifacial photovoltaic modules compared to traditional monofacial installations. With growing industry interest in bifacial technology, there was a need for rigorous, data-driven analysis to quantify actual performance gains and identify the factors that most significantly influence energy production from these advanced solar modules.

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 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.

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.
