Advanced Risk Based Maintenance (RBM) software for optimising Gas Turbine maintenance
- fleet-wide risk audit enables risk-focused repair and maintenance resources
- automatically calculates manufacturer's recommended inspection interval
- optimum inspection periods based on an implicit time dimension of risk
- risk mitigation measures selected to meet outage frequency targets
- user-selectable application display language
Maintenance costs and availability are two main concerns for gas turbine owners. In order to minimise costs and maximise availability owners must adopt an optimised life management program.
RISKWISE for Gas Turbine™ allows owners to develop a thorough understanding of the effect of operating and plant conditions to maintain cost-effective and safe life management plan.
RISKWISE for Gas Turbines™
- produces a component-itemised risk and remaining life profile for hot-gas-path components
- combines qualitative and quantitative input
- includes a regular updated database of all relevant damage mechanisms
- focus-defocus module allows the user to optimise inspection and maintenance
- allows inspection to be properly targeted
- provides a formal basis for assessing remaining life and safe outage intervals
Benefits in brief
- increased availability
- optimum maintenance spend
- facilitates increased run times, reduced outage time/costs and fewer forced outages
- a true maintenance planning tool
- links with existing inspection and maintenance records or software
- English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish language versions available
Implementation Approach
RISKWISE™ can be applied to all types of gas turbine. It can be integrated with other RISKWISE™ power plant products to address heat recovery steam generators, steam turbines and balance of plant areas. The following approach is normally adopted:
- supply the software
- conduct training in implementation and functionality of the software
- assist in the implementation at a specified plant - optional
- software maintenance and upgrade support - optional
Key Features
- user friendly software, full transparent - ensures buy-in by users
- audit team approach - accommodates plant experience
- interfaces with computerised maintenance management systems
- time-based risk auditing module - gas turbine components ranked by risk and remaining life
- maintenance frequency based on formal reliability rules - remaining life indicator (RLI) module
- focus/defocus module - facilitates selection of optimum mitigation measures
- fully auditable output - acceptability to insurers/regulators
Equipment requirement
- PC (stand-alone or networked) with MS-Windows operating system (NT 4.0, or higher)
