GE Power & Water Power Generation Services Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics fact sheet Access to the information you need is provided 24/7/365 through GE’s M&D team. Protect Your Assets Every day, GE collects more than 30,000 operating hours of data from more than 1,600 globally deployed power generation assets, supplementing a 15 terabyte database representing more than 100 million fleet operating hours. of detection while reducing false alarms. This depth of expertise, as well as operational excellence in the execution of downstream processes, has generated customer savings estimated at more than $100 million in 2013. In its Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, a team of more than 20 M&D engineers analyzes more than 25,000 operational alarms per year, assisting customers in enhancing their asset reliability and performance 24/7/365. Additional regional support is provided from locations in Scotland, France and India. Using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom analytic tools, the team diagnoses problems ranging from failed sensors to gas turbine compressor damage. Drawing on the experience of hundreds of thousands of alarms resolved, the team has developed dozens of physics-based proprietary algorithms that provide early warning of more than 60 different failure mechanisms. Decisions Through Data The wealth of physical understanding combined with intelligent application of statistical methods has enabled the team to continually improve the algorithms, thereby increasing the probability M&D services from GE provide a number of options for accessing the data that’s important to you, along with a selection of decision support tools built on our OEM knowledge, engineering know-how and depth of fleet experience. On-Site Monitor (OSM): At your site, OSM automatically collects and processes data through advanced algorithms—trending against fleet-wide historical data—to determine fleet health, develop prognostics and deliver information to you through several reporting options. Operational Assessments Report: This monthly assessment report provides key asset health and operational metrics to help you manage asset maintenance and plan for outage scope.
