Case Studies

Power generation operators managing multiple assets often struggle to balance competing priorities: responding quickly to grid demands, maintaining optimal efficiency, and minimizing maintenance impacts across their fleet. Traditional dispatch approaches rely on static models that fail to account for real-time equipment health, leading to suboptimal bidding strategies and reduced profitability.

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.

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.

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 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 client in the power generation sector recognized that digital twin technologies were being developed inconsistently across their organization, leading to duplicated efforts and challenges in deploying these tools effectively. Without a standardized approach, teams struggled to leverage real-world operational data, create adaptable models, and integrate emerging technologies like AI and machine learning into their workflows.
