Gas Turbine Evaluation Program (GTEP)GTEP is a periodic surveillance program that finds conditions or components that can reduce your unit’s performance or cause unscheduled shutdowns and serious damage. GTEP is performed while the unit is in service. GTEP provides standardized workscopes that can be tailored to meet each turbine’s needs, while complementing your budget and in-house resources. This approach also enables similar information to be obtained across your entire fleet, facilitating analysis that can focus operation and maintenance efforts and improvements where they will have the most impact. The standard workscopes include:
Steam Turbine Evaluation Program (STEP)STEP offers you the opportunity to reach your availability, reliability and performance goals. The key to STEP’s success lies in its five-step process of analyzing equipment, establishing baseline data, conducting periodic surveillance inspections, performing shutdown and startup checks and providing maintenance recommendations. This program provides GE involvement during your plant’s normal operation, maintenance planning and outage execution. STEP helps you optimize power plant operation and maintenance efforts, which increases your plant’s profitability and competitiveness by:
The unique STEP surveillance and inspection process detects equipment degradation trends, identifies their probable causes, and determines corrective or preventive actions to improve the unit’s in-service performance and avoid costly shutdowns. We then furnish follow-up operation and maintenance recommendations based on our analysis and interpretation of the conditions found. |
