Life Service Solutions: Optimising<br />
equipment value<br />
Solar’s service solutions, upgrades and<br />
training help support its customers’<br />
business goals throughout the equipment’s<br />
lifespan. Lifecycle service solutions include<br />
spare parts, gas turbine overhauls, field<br />
service, flexible service agreements, digital<br />
solutions and technical training.<br />
The company’s worldwide service<br />
organisation is committed to customer<br />
success, providing quality experience<br />
from initial inquiry to end of life. As part of<br />
that commitment, Solar offers a complete<br />
solution beyond maintenance and repairs<br />
that enhances performance and safety,<br />
extends equipment life and prevents<br />
obsolescence.<br />
Solar’s InSight Platform provides<br />
a comprehensive, online approach to<br />
equipment health management, including<br />
advanced, remote web-based monitoring<br />
and predictive diagnostics capabilities.<br />
With InSight, servicing is optimised based<br />
on real-time equipment conditions, saving<br />
time and costs on repair and maintenance,<br />
and leading to more uptime, greater<br />
productivity and lower product lifecycle<br />
costs.<br />
InSight: Evolving towards a smart grid<br />
The InSight Platform, which is built into<br />
the workflow of the Solar Digital business<br />
unit that focuses on energy optimisation,<br />
also enables Solar to monitor gas turbine<br />
production performance in real time. The<br />
Typical tri-generation solution with<br />
gas turbine for food applications<br />
platform can be linked to the customer’s<br />
production enterprise resource planning<br />
(ERP) system and, in some cases, balance<br />
demand automatically based on the cost<br />
of energy on their grid.<br />
InSight takes into account the endogenous<br />
and exogenous parameters of the<br />
production line, providing a balanced<br />
response based on the energy demands of<br />
the plant on the one hand and the grid on<br />
the other. This Industrial Internet of Things<br />
(IIoT) application places the production<br />
site within a smart grid – an innovative<br />
service concept that extends beyond the<br />
technologies installed.<br />
Value Co-Generation Taking service<br />
to new levels<br />
Recent years have seen exponential<br />
growth across all sectors in technological<br />
solutions supported by digitalisation<br />
and IT. Solar’s Value Co-Generation<br />
programme focuses on developing further<br />
technological solutions and offering<br />
consulting services in close collaboration<br />
with its customers.<br />
Underpinning the programme is the<br />
concept of working in partnership to identify<br />
plant specifications or modifications<br />
fundamental to the goals the customer<br />
hopes to achieve. The result is a new and<br />
more elaborate concept of service, in<br />
which a gas turbine is no longer a standard<br />
solution but a fully integrated component<br />
of a specific installation.<br />
Gas: A bridge leading to a sustainable<br />
economy<br />
Gas turbines play a key role in a sustainable<br />
economy and a sustainable future, and<br />
Solar is confident in leading the way in<br />
improving their efficiency. The company’s<br />
SoLoNOx combustion system minimises<br />
the production of NOx, and innovative new<br />
combustion systems are ready today for<br />
the fuels of tomorrow. Solar’s latest Titan<br />
130, Taurus 60 and Taurus 70 turbines,<br />
all designed for application in the food<br />
industry, can burn up to 100% biogas and<br />
syngas, hydrogen blends of up to 70% and<br />
other green fuels.<br />
In addition, the efficiency of cogeneration<br />
with gas turbines continue to improve –<br />
today exceeding 85%, according to Solar<br />
Turbines. That makes it possible to achieve<br />
substantial reductions in carbon dioxide<br />
emissions produced per megawatt of<br />
electricity, including 100% carbon-neutral<br />
operation on biofuels.<br />
Creating value and sustainability through<br />
careful management of self-generated<br />
energy is possible. Solar Turbines is certain<br />
to make it a reality in the food sector by<br />
combining innovative IIoT technologies<br />
with a service system that extends beyond<br />
mere maintenance. FBA<br />
