Introduction to Thermal Advisory Software
GE Digital APM Thermal Advisory Software provides a cutting-edge solution for operationalizing heat rate reduction in plant environments. Traditional methods often fall short in providing real-time visibility to address performance degradation issues. By leveraging this software, plant teams can empower themselves to lower heat rates by up to 1% and achieve significant savings in fuel costs, making a substantial impact on the overall operational efficiency.
Benefits of APM Thermal Advisory Software
One of the key benefits of the APM Thermal Advisory Software is the reduction of manual processes, bridging the knowledge gap, and increasing visibility into performance issues. With the ability to receive performance alerts with actionable recommendations, detect issues at varying load levels, and optimize maintenance timing, plant operators can proactively address efficiency challenges and ensure optimal performance.
Performance Intelligence and Efficiency Improvement
The APM Thermal Advisory Software enhances visibility, efficiency, and speed in performance monitoring. By receiving alerts with actionable insights, monitoring issues at different load levels, and optimizing maintenance timing economically, plant teams can catch degradation early and maintain peak efficiency. This solution has been successfully implemented by Société Tunisienne de l'Electricité et du Gaz (STEG) to achieve performance optimization.
Comprehensive Features for Operational Excellence
The Thermal Advisory Software's features encompass performance analytics, carbon data monitoring, diagnostic alerts, economic tradeoff advisors, what-if and performance test tools, and add-on flexibility performance monitoring. These tools provide a holistic approach to understanding and optimizing heat rate management, offering real-time alerts, performance testing automation, and insights for enhanced operational flexibility.
Driving Sustainable Performance
The GE Digital APM Thermal Advisory Software not only aids in immediate cost savings through fuel efficiency but also contributes to long-term sustainability by reducing overall plant emissions. With improvements in heat rate correlated with reductions in air emissions, plant operators can achieve a 2.5% reduction in emissions for every 2.5% heat rate improvement, making a direct impact on environmental conservation.
