Power Generation Plants

In the Power Generation industry, consistent condition monitoring is essential for maintaining optimal levels of production. That’s why planning downtime just to take condition measurements seems counter-productive.

Voice of the Machine Software and SensoNODE Gold Sensors let maintenance technicians and plant managers monitor their assets quickly and easily from anywhere they have an internet connection.

Problem

Turbines that aren’t well lubricated or cooled with clean oil are subject to:

Overheating
Inefficient operation

Solution

Identify when turbine filters and/or oil need replaced by monitoring for temperature changes in:

Hydraulic lift pumps
Hydraulic power units
Diverter damper controls

Problem

Increased plant fuel consumption and/or reduced output can be telltale signs of:

Compromised integrity of rotary components
Turbine structural damage

Solution

Determine potential turbine issues by monitoring for pressure changes in systems, such as:

Hydraulic lift pumps, power units, and cylinders
Diverter damper controls
Nitrogen generators

Problem

Increased humidity can create excessive moisture, which threatens the turbine’s gearbox with:

Corrosion
Reduced efficiency
Breakdown

Solution

Humidity sensors monitor in-line and ambient levels, allowing users to:

Track gradual trends of increased facility humidity
Better diagnose in-line issues
Closely monitor nitrogen generator levels
