In an industry that relies on large and expensive assets, it is imperative for energy companies to keep the trust of its customers and maintain uninterrupted delivery. Standard-sized hydropower turbines generate over $50,000 of electricity per day, representing significant opportunity costs. As aging generation facilities experience increased maintenance costs, two issues arise:
- Functioning equipment is taken off-line for periodic inspection cycles, causing unnecessary revenue loss.
- 30% of potential failures occur between maintenance cycles. These unplanned outages are often the most expensive, causing extensive damage and lengthy repair times.
Aegir Predictive Maintenance Solution™ is a managed service solution for hydropower producers to monitor the performance of their assets and perform maintenance actions before anticipated failures.
