Case Studies

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.

A client faced a growing compatibility challenge with a critical performance monitoring tool that had been in use for years. The software relied on older architecture that was becoming increasingly incompatible with modern computing environments as industry standards evolved.

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.

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.
