Project Outcomes

Case Studies

Representative project outcomes across turbine-generator engineering, controls and excitation support, outage execution, and international inspection work. Specific scope, client, and financial details are shared at engagement stage.

01Turbine-Generator Engineering

Rapid Stator Ground Repair & Return to Service

Gulf Coast Utility — Generator Forced Outage
Texas, United States

Challenge

A generator trip triggered multiple relay indications confirming a real B-phase stator ground on the generator side of the breaker. Investigation identified displaced coil support hardware and damaged groundwall insulation in the end-winding region, creating risk of a long-duration rewind and major outage exposure.

Project Outcomes

30 to 5 Days

Outage duration reduced through targeted repair versus full rewind

$1.5M+ Cost Avoidance

Achieved by preventing rewind scope

Full Test Acceptance

Return-to-service accelerated with complete post-repair electrical test acceptance

02Controls, Excitation & Protection

Excitation System Reliability & Outage Optimization

Texas Gulf Coast Refinery — GE Gas Turbine Generator / Brush PRISMIC A30
Texas, United States

Challenge

During a scheduled outage, plant leadership required independent validation of the Brush A30 excitation system to prevent hidden controls risk, avoid restart delays, and complete the work without extending the outage critical path.

Project Outcomes

15% Outage Reduction

Through streamlined testing and decision-making

$22K Direct Savings

By avoiding schedule overrun and unnecessary scope expansion

Zero Restart Delays

No delays associated with excitation or controls systems

03Controls, Excitation & Protection

Excitation System Reliability Optimization

Southeast U.S. Refinery — STG-4 GE EX2000 Excitation System
Georgia, United States

Challenge

A scheduled outage required full validation of the EX2000 excitation system, field flashing equipment, and associated controls to eliminate hidden reliability risks and prevent unnecessary outage extension.

Project Outcomes

25% Outage Reduction

Through efficient scope execution

$20K Direct Savings

By avoiding extended outage labor and schedule overrun

Full Unit Availability

Maximized with verified excitation system readiness

04Outage Execution & Technical Advisory

Generator Major Inspection — Reliability & Lifecycle Extension

Utility-Scale Turbine Generator — Major Inspection
Colombia

Challenge

A planned major inspection identified dusting indications in the stator endwinding region, creating long-term insulation degradation risk and potential lifecycle exposure if left uncorrected.

Project Outcomes

4 Days Early

Outage completed ahead of schedule, improving customer return-to-service date

Reliability Improved

Unit reliability improved for future operation through targeted major inspection repairs

Lifecycle Extended

Stator winding lifecycle extended by repairing endwinding dusting indications
