Modern Gas Turbine Technologies (STGT) has connected 12 gas turbines, two steam turbines, and 11 high-power generators to its remote monitoring system. According to the company's press service, specialists continuously monitor equipment status, analyze deviations in operating parameters, and prepare operational recommendations. One of the latest facilities integrated into the system was a large GRES in Belarus.
The monitoring center works with energy facilities in Russian regions and neighboring countries. The system allows remote observation of turbine and generator parameters, and enables engineers to identify changes in unit operation and assess the need for technical intervention. For this purpose, automated data collection is supplemented by expert analysis.
Early detection of deviations helps power engineers plan inspections and repairs before serious malfunctions occur. According to STGT, the use of monitoring reduces the risk of unscheduled shutdowns, allows for more rational use of spare parts, and more accurate planning of maintenance costs. The company does not provide actual economic effects or statistics on prevented failures in the published report.
Russian software, included in the unified register of domestic computer programs and databases, is used for monitoring. STGT attributes this to the requirements of technological independence and information security. The connection of the Belarusian GRES expands the geographical scope of the system, but information about the turbine model, unit capacity, and connection dates of individual units is not disclosed.
