In the power industry, generator reliability isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about avoiding catastrophic revenue losses and ensuring grid stability. Even a minor imbalance in a generator’s stator core can cascade into unplanned downtime, costing millions in lost revenue and repair costs.
The Crisis:
A critical 63MW generator unit at a Tata Power plant faced uneven stator core heating, with temperatures spiking 20°C above normal. Left unresolved, this anomaly risked:
- A 45-day full-unit shutdown, disrupting grid supply.
- $8M+ in lost revenue from halted power generation.
- Safety hazards from potential core insulation failure.
