Extend monitoring to critical transients

Monitor starts, stops, and load changes to identify abnormal behavior, focus investigations, and help protect plant availability.

The operating challenge

Critical transients become operational blind spots

Flexible operation is increasing starts, stops, and load changes across nuclear and conventional fleets. Manual review cannot keep pace, so abnormal behavior can remain unexplored until an operational issue occurs.

  • Dynamic behavior hides deviations

    Expected values change throughout the sequence, making abnormal behavior difficult to distinguish.

  • Manual review does not scale

    Replaying trends and comparing equivalent events takes time, specialist knowledge, and consistent historical data.

  • Investigations begin too late

    Teams often examine a transient only after a trip, start-up delay, or performance issue has made the problem visible.

Why Metroscope

Turn complex transients into focused investigations

Summarize the event, identify the measurements behind the deviation, and reconstruct how the sequence developed.

Know which transients need investigation

One multidimensional score condenses how far the full event departs from its reference. Teams can screen recurring transients quickly and decide which events justify deeper analysis.

See where to look and why

Sensor contributions rank the measurements driving the overall deviation. Plant teams know where to begin and why those signals deserve attention.

Understand how the deviation developed

Expected ranges and multi-signal comparisons show when and how the event diverged. Teams can relate the sequence to operating conditions and other plant evidence to guide the next checks.

Evidence from a CCGT application

Investigating a loss after a hot start

After a hot start, Diagnostics identified a loss of up to 6 MWe. Transient Monitoring then helped the team identify the drain valve involved.
