GE and Gama Energy have signed an agreement to operate the first digital power plant in Turkey. This deal marks the first use of industrial cloud software applications in a power plant in Turkey to improve efficiency and productivity. GE will install its Asset Performance Management (APM) and Operations Optimisation (OO) solutions using Predix, its operating system for the Industrial Internet, into the 840 MW İç Anadolu natural gas combined cycle power plant in the city of Kirikkale. Installation of these digital solutions is planned for Q1, 2017.

The announcement builds upon the agreement made last year between GE and Gama Energy to provide planned and unplanned maintenance services under availability and performance guarantees for two GE 9F.05 gas turbines and a GE D11 steam turbine.

The APM and OO software applications due for implementation at Gama Energy’s plant can provide numerous operational benefits, such as improved reliability and availability, and lower production costs and asset generation forecasting capability for improved asset dispatch.
