Digitalisation boosting efficiency in power generation Digitalisation is a potent tool to enhance efficiency in power generation . Siemens Energy offers a number of solutions from their Omnivise portfolio , engineered to refine maintenance operations within power plants and foster predictive maintenance strategies .
The company ’ s Omnivise Asset Management ( OAM ) offering is a modern software suite combining deep domain know-how , the latest technologies and methods , and modern software design to support plant personnel .
An example of these capabilities can be seen in the operations of one of Latin America ’ s largest electricity suppliers , which manages a vast fleet of diverse power generation assets – ranging from fossil to renewable sources . The company , in a bid to trim Operational Expenditures ( OPEX ) across its maintenance and operations , wanted to introduce a remote expert centre at its headquarters .
“ The OAM software forms the central technical backbone to deliver critical services to their entire fleet of assets ,” Rossetti says . “ Our solution will enable the customer to reduce operational costs while increasing reliability and availability of key assets at 23 power plants .”
With OAM , Siemens Energy also supports broader use cases from remote operator rounds and inspections all the way to autonomous plants . As Rossetti describes , to reach this milestone there are a number of challenges for plant operators to overcome .
