Siemens Energy estimates that a 10 percent reduction in the industry’s average planned downtime of 5.5 days for HRSGs - required among others to check wall loss thickness of pipes due to corrosion - would save $1.7 billion a year. Downtime for maintenance and repairs leads to lost revenue opportunities for utility companies. This improves the thermodynamic efficiency of the power plant by more than 60 percent, according to Siemens Energy.Īt some sections of an HRSG, a steam and water mixture can cause corrosion that might impact the lifetime of the HRSG’s parts. Heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) use the exhaust heat from the gas turbine to create steam used to drive the steam turbine. Siemens Energy builds and services combined cycle power plants, which include large gas turbines and steam turbines.
“NVIDIA’s open platforms along with physics-infused neural networks bring great value to Siemens Energy,” said Stefan Lichtenberger, technical portfolio manager at Siemens Energy.
