Akenerji selects GE software for natgas combined-cycle power plant

ISTANBUL — GE and Akenerji signed a multi-year agreement to deploy GE’s Predix based Operations Optimization (OO) solutions at its Egemer Elektrik Uretim A.S. natural gas combined cycle power plant in Erzin Hatay, Turkey, with an operating capacity of 904 MW.

As one of the early adopters of the OO software in Turkey, this software will help power generators tackle operational issues to drive more profitable use of plant resources for market conditions. Installation of these digital solutions is scheduled to begin in late 2017.

“Nowadays, to compete more effectively in Turkey’s complex market environment, innovative solutions are needed for operators like us,” said Serhan Gencer, CEO, Akenerji. “GE’s advanced digital solutions will provide us, at every level of operation, increased visibility and insights to our KPI focused analytics to help improve overall plant efficiency and performance, while simultaneously meeting our compliance, regulatory and emission goals.”

In 2012, both parties signed a multi-year agreement to provide two GE 9FB gas turbines and three GE’s generators for the newly built Egemer Power Plant to help ensure the long-term, reliable operation of the equipment.

These services, combined with digital solutions, provide Akenerji’s plant operators with GE‘s Fleet360 platform of customized plant solutions to help improve performance and extend maintenance intervals.

GE's Industrial Internet platform Predix supports digital transformation with its solutions in energy as with many others. Predix has already established an ecosystem for digitalization with more than 26,000 developers onboard.
