1 GE Measurement & Control Calibration and Maintenance Solutions for the Power Sector 1

2 The Importance of Calibration & Maintenance in the Power Segment GE s Druck Range: Dependable Calibration Solutions for Power Operators for over 40 years Power Industry Challenges Running a power generation facility is not easy today. Power generators operate in an increasingly competitive market place with new generation coming online almost every day. Distributed generation, such as wind or solar, is providing increasing competition for established generators and keeping them on their toes. Environmental regulations provide another set of challenges that generators have to meet in order to keep operating. Finally electricity demand is growing putting further pressure on generators to meet higher load factors. Operating a power plant in the most efficient, safe and economic way is more important today than ever. Calibration in the Power segment Ensuring the turbine and generator systems are operating at their most efficient configurations is a key driver for the competitiveness of power plants. Just a small percentage drift away from the most optimum operating setpoints could impact the bottom line of the business by millions of dollars. Alternatively allowing emissions to exceed some regulated level could incur huge fines to operators as well as environmental damage. Modern power plants rely on many hundreds of process sensors, transmitters, switches, and gauges around the plant covering pressure, temperature, electrical and other parameters to keep the operation in check. But the accuracy of these sensors is only as good as their latest calibration. Sensors drift over time. New sensors are installed and require accurate calibration before they can give reliable and true readings. Calibration is an essential service for any power generator to deliver maximum operating efficiency and meet all their regulatory obligations. Key Messages Market increasingly more competitive for power generators Achieving improved efficiency at low cost while meeting stricter regulations is key Sensors and instruments are essential but their data must be accurate and reliable Calibration is a vital service for power generators Reducing measurement uncertainty can potentially increase electrical power output by up to 2% Fast, Accurate, Cost Effective Calibration GE s Druck range of calibration instruments and process plant test tools has a 40 year heritage. Over that time, customers have told us what s important in a calibration instrument and process test tool: Highly accurate Reliable and heavy duty Cost effective Easy to use thereby ensuring high productivity Able to be integrated to wider plant software That s why GE s Druck range of calibration instruments and process plant tools are all designed to be rugged, highly accurate and always cost effective to use. And when combined with our various software options, they can provide a comprehensive calibration solution suited to any Model Accuracy ma mv V Hz RTD Pressure DPI620 Genii Modular Test & System DPI 620G-L Multifunction DPI 611 Pressure Temperature s DPI 880 Multifunction Process Test Tool Built around our own Sensors The heart of any calibration instrument or process plant test tool are the sensors. They determine the accuracy, stability and re- calibration period. That s why GE s Druck range uses our own sensors built by GE. We re one of the only calibration instrument OEMs who manufacture our own sensors. We believe it s the best way to deliver the accuracy and stability that customers need.
