Related Facts:
- On 29 December 2020; Indian Oil Corp (IOC) has launched the country’s first remote monitoring system for oil refineries’ turbines.
- The project, located in Hyderabad, was inaugurated by oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
- The Remote Monitoring & Operation Centre for Tracking of IndianOil’s Refinery Gas Turbines was implemented by BHEL-GE Gas Turbine Services (BGGTS).
- It should be known that BHEL-GE Gas Turbine Services (BGGTS) is a joint venture of BHEL and General Electric.
- On this occasion IOC Chairman S M Vaidya said that this is the first time ever, such a multi-unit monitoring system in the country is being implemented by an Oil PSU in India.
- He informed that originally the remote monitoring system was envisaged to be operated out of GE’s Atlanta Analytical Centre in the United States.
- He explained that owing to Data Residency Clause and National Cyber Security Guidelines, it would now be operated from Hyderabad.
- This kind of technology is called Proactive Predictive Analytics-based Automated Anomaly Detection.
- Introduction of this technology by IOC will allow Gas Turbune Operational Data flowing in digitally from 27 turbines of the eight IndianOil refineries to be analysed round-the-clock in Hyderabad.
This analysis will help in detection and diagnosis of emerging issues relating to gas turbines before they become critical and triggers corrective actions.
- This will help avoid refinery process unit shutdowns.
