To meet the changing demands of today’s Power Generation Market, Generators are forced to look at ways to improve the cost effectiveness, reliability, flexibility, and overall “In-Market Availability” of traditional power generating facilities.
To accommodate, the power-generation industry is going through a digital transition moving beyond historic conventional automation toward plant autonomous operations, where advanced automation, artificial intelligence, semi-remote operations work together to operate plants with progressively less required human intervention. The objective is not un-man power plants, but to more intelligently operate plants to improve reliability, flexibility, and efficiency without risking safety, availability and security. This facilitates lifecycle economics while allowing personnel to concentrate on higher-value decisions and exceptional conditions.
