Failing to plan is planning to fail
It’s not every day you can see the true value of an offering—but the reliability lessons learned from our fleet paint a clear picture. Our reliability upgrades average fleet impact:
What other plant managers wish they knew
Our reliability upgrades can help you solve for a range of plant issues, keeping you up and running—on your schedule. All equipment can be installed in a single combustion inspection (CI), hot gas path (HGP) inspection, or major inspection (MI) outage or independently of scheduled maintenance.
Reliability upgrades can provide impact in these areas:
| ✓ | Wasted maintenance dollars |
| ✓ | Compressor bleed issues |
| ✓ | Hydraulic malfunctions |
| ✓ | Positioning problems |
| ✓ | Exhaust spread challenges |
| ✓ | Flame detection hardware issues |
Decrease downtime
Instrumentation issues are one of the top drivers affecting gas turbine reliability. In fact, more than 20% of failed starts are due to instrumentation events.1 In the last three years, GE Vernova has documented more than 1,500 issues that have caused 16,000+ downtime hours, with three out of five gas turbines having experienced at least one failed start, trip, or forced outage. The instrumentation reliability upgrades include:
Decrease failed starts
Hydraulic control valves are responsible for some 10% of turbine dependability issues, including a marked 23% of failed starts. Now, based on GE Vernova’s 5.5+ million hours of electrically actuated valve experience, tighter equipment control is within reach. Your upgraded F-class gas turbines provide advanced diagnostics, extended overhaul intervals, reduced fire risk, and aims to help you save money on every failed start. The valve reliability upgrades include:
Reduce alarms and system trips
Control system upgrades are more cost-effective enhancements to help reduce alarms and system trips. These modifications target key system elements to help improve turbine reliability and extend availability of assets.
