Key takeaways
Forced outages set the economics.
A single turbine or boiler going down unplanned runs from a hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars an hour to millions per event once lost generation, emergency repair and grid penalties are counted.
Most plants are flying blind.
Around seventy per cent of power plants still lack real-time visibility into when critical equipment is approaching failure, and planned-maintenance compliance averages around sixty per cent.
The telemetry is already flowing.
Every turbine generates thousands of data points a second; the gap is the look-ahead, not the data.
