Power generation
Monitoring turbines, generators and balance-of-plant assets
Our solutions for this industry
In power generation, turbine and generator reliability is both economic and regulatory. Vibration and axial-position protection are mandatory on critical machines; auxiliary health defines unit availability.
Bently Nevada — vibration monitoring
Reference protection for steam, gas and hydro turbines and generators — rotor vibration, axial position and overspeed per API 670 and utility standards.
Learn moreSystem 1 — analytics and historization
Single platform for vibration trends, spectral analysis and reporting across the turbine train and auxiliary fleet.
Learn moreSDT Ultrasound
Bearing checks on BOP, steam-trap surveys and partial-discharge screening in switchgear and outdoor substations.
