To operate as efficiently as possible, power generation businesses need to make the true condition of their plant, their assets and every individual component fully transparent and easy to understand. Given the size and complexity of a large plant, this is an extremely difficult requirement. In addition, as human expertise becomes scarcer, more in demand and, therefore, more costly, business leadership needs access to best practice insights and advice, even if they cannot afford to maintain these skills in-house. The Siemens Energy Instrumentation & Controls Monitors and Advisors (ICMA) service adds value to a company’s investment in its DCS by turning high volume, rich data flows into actionable intelligence. We do this by Monitoring data on a 24 hour basis, Analyzing these data against targets and KPIs, and then Advising customers by making recommendations for optimization and remedial actions, according to the scope of work within the agreed service parameters.
