Predictive Analytics for the Energy Industry
Intertek AIM’s energy analytics services allows users to assess performance, establish baselines, and set performance improvement goals.
Intertek offers a range of services such as INGRID, Aware-RealTime (Aware RT) , and Cost of Cycling Analysis to help you reach optimal performance levels with
your equipment.
Predictive analytics leverage the historical data
collected at your plant, along with our vast energy database to find
the critical relationships that will improve the performance, reduce
operating costs, and extend the equipment life at your facility.
Plant
owners and operators want to gain valuable insight into their
generating asset's performance, efficiency, reliability, and cycling
operation metrics. See how renewable generation in your area impacts
your load cycling operations.
Our flexible, cloud-ready platform
is purpose-built for integrating with your applications and portals.
Our powerful web-based analytics, data visualization and mapping
applications use mathematics, statistics, predictive modeling and
machine learning to find useful insights and to help you with your
fact-based decisions.
Utilizing our products can help to optimize
operations and save in operating and maintenance costs. Minimize
outages and prioritize systems in your next inspection by implementing
our analytics solutions in electricity generation production and
planning.
Let Intertek AIM help you succeed by:
- Benchmarking your plant or generation unit operation against U.S. plants/units of the same capacity, age and fuel.
- Determining critical components with the highest damage accumulation during transients and compare it with standard industry practices.
- Comparing operational costs per start-up and per outage, accumulated damage, and start type (hot, warm, cold) against similar units.
Deliverables
consist of an electronic report including calculation worksheets for
each metric, a performance ranking per-group results, and the historical
trends.
As renewable energy sources are increasing in numbers,
conventional fossil plants are cycling more. Let our platforms show you
how much you are cycling, as well as the life expectancy of your
equipment.
