Case Studies

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 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.

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 needed a way to evaluate the economic impact of different air filtration strategies for their gas turbine operations. The challenge involved balancing multiple competing factors: filter efficiency, pressure drop effects on turbine performance, maintenance costs, water wash scheduling, and long-term operational expenses.

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.

As the energy industry increasingly explores low-carbon solutions, many organizations are evaluating the feasibility of combusting hydrogen or hydrogen-blended fuels in existing gas turbine assets. Understanding the performance implications of varying hydrogen content is essential for making informed decisions about fuel transitions, but these impacts are often non-obvious and require sophisticated analysis.
