"When we looked at the whole
fleet, we wanted to go with the
best technology available. We
wanted a solution that was
robust and flexible to handle
all our plants and we knew
EtaPRO was the right answer.”

EtaPRO™ Flyers

Unplanned and/or corrective maintenance of plant equipment remains one of the most significant power generation O&M expenses.

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) reports
typical savings of $500,000 to $1,000,000 per year from early warning of impending equipment failure and successful intervention.

To provide this early warning and reduce unplanned maintenance, GP Strategies integrated advanced pattern recognition (APR) technology into Version 10 of its world-class EtaPRO™ Performance and Condition Monitoring System. EtaPRO APR models are used to detect anomalies in plant or equipment conditions by continuously comparing current values to detailed empirical models of "normal" data. This technology offers detailed resolution and is highly effective in tracking equipment health parameters such as shaft vibration and bearing temperatures.

For the first time, APR technology is available fully integrated with comprehensive, first-principles thermodynamic models through GP Strategies EtaPRO and VirtualPlant™. This integrated solution delivers the capability to identify and diagnose root causes of system abnormalities AND quantify their impact on plant availability, efficiency, and operating costs
