Case Studies

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.

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.

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 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 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.
