The 2016 Digital Power Plant base offering is available for any HA gas turbine and includes a powerful suite of tools and software solutions.
Asset Performance: Next Generation Monitoring and Diagnostics
• An enterprise-level historian with dashboards and ad hoc query capability creates a single source of data for all plant assets across the fleet.
• Plant- and fleet-wide predictive advisories, expert diagnostics, and situational troubleshooting to foresee and prevent issues.
Operation Optimization: KPI-focused Analytics
• This plant-level tool locates and quantifies production losses down to a sub-system level, and enables corrective actions.
• By providing analytics on the transitional processes in a power plant, this tool enables operators to detect and address non-optimal processes.
Business Optimization: Monetize Full Operational Capability • This tool provides transparency to forecasted capability of the plant(s) for market operations and trading.
Suite of HA DPP Applications
Depending on your plant’s environment, the HA plant can be configured through three applications to generate new revenue streams and improve operations. These DPP applications are specifically engineered for the HA gas turbine:
• Virtual Battery – The HA DPP is configurable to provide frequency regulation and participate in ancillary markets, where available, serving as a virtual battery, similar to the capability provided by flywheels or batteries on the grid today.
• Ancillary Response – The ancillary response application provides improved primary frequency response or reactive power response to meet grid demands in real time. 1. Rate of Change of Frequency Ride Through – frequency regulation 2. Generator dynamic D-curve – voltage regulation

• Smart Start – Smart Start enables real-time decision making on the value of faster starts versus parts lives and grid demands.

Electricity is fundamental to everyday life, but global demand is growing by 50% in the next 10 years. While we know the market dynamics today, we can’t predict the future. The Digital Power Plant marries the physical and digital to be agile and adaptable to these changing demands.
