Nuclear Power Generation

Main challenges for our customers
icn-2
Reliability

The increased component failure risk of aging reactors can lead to operation at reduced power or plant shutdowns

icn-3
Performance

Difficulty to locate performance losses and sensor drifts

icn-4
Decision-making

Need to build trust and organizational agility in problem solving and risk recognition.

Our Solution

Metroscope diagnoses steam cycle performance losses. The steam cycle or secondary systems account for 70% of reliability problems and can include many simultaneous and latent faults making these systems complex to analyze.

A Metroscope model can usually identify over 80 unique faults impacting power generation and availability

Tailored for each plant, our nuclear models have ~10,000 equations, simulating both nominal behavior and fault scenarios

Case study

Earlier detection of a heat exchanger tube rupture

  • Tube rupture was detected at 3kg/s, instead of 9kg/s with standard practice
  • Implementation of Metroscope allowed optimization of planned maintenance and equipment lifetime extension

Key benefits

Greater power
output

Probability of plant shutdown and MWe losses are decreased due to equipment issues (e.g, at the condenser, MSRs , or feedwater reheaters)

Enhanced maintenance
decisions

Fast and reliable process diagnosis can inform maintenance.

Asset
knowledge

Operators can play back history to better understand the current state of their asset

Conventional Power Generation

Main challenges for our customers
icn-2
Availability

Ensuring high availability rate is key to ensure competitiveness in the gas power generation market

icn-3
Flexibility

Today’s energy market requires great flexibility and frequent plant restarts

icn-4
Cost optimization

Operational costs are highly dependent on fuel price volatility

Our Solution

Designed for diverse users at all levels of expertise (plant managers, thermal performance engineers, asset managers, O&M teams,...), its interactive design enables a shortened decision-making process through collaboration

Our software gives an easy-to-understand overview of the plant history as well as the current plant health status

It also supports on-site knowledge continuity as the workforce changes

Case study

Metroscope as a common source of knowledge for a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant

  • 80% of users display results outside of their division
  • Accelerated decision-making between site and fleet stakeholders
  • Weekly utilization (3 x week) for O&M monitoring and outage preparation

Key benefits

Automatic diagnosis

Automated fault diagnosis and impact quantification enable condition-based maintenance

Lower impact
on the planet

Higher efficiency has a direct impact on fuel economy and reduction of CO2 emissions

Knowledge management

As a reliable source of asset history, Metroscope streamlines communication and enhances knowledge management

Metroscope has made it possible to identify sources of efficiency losses, to explain slow equipment drifts and to help in the decision
to initiate maintenance operations
