Diagnostic health monitoring will reduce new technology O&M risk - Intelligent diagnostic systems help avoid excessive outages and costly component replacement by calling for corrective action before problems have time to become failures

摘要

Many power generators are concerned with the financial risk of unpredictable maintenance costs associated with advanced gas turbines they are purchasing or have placed in service. However, intelligence-based diagnostic systems are available to monitor those machines from startup on through shutdown to make sure that compressor, combustors, turbine and all related systems are operating within design limitations and expected performance parameters.
