GE Energy installs wireless monitoring system at Nevada power plant

GE Energy has installed its Bently Nevada Essential Insight.mesh wireless condition monitoring technology at the NV Energy Ft Churchill operating station in Yerington, Nevada.

The company has said that the new technology is helping to improve overall plant reliability and efficiency by extending condition monitoring to a broader array of essential assets that were previously underserved and/or classified as mid-to low-criticality.

GE has said that its wireless technology provides power plant owners the opportunity to invest in trouble-free and cost-effective condition monitoring upgrades. By helping plants operate smarter, owners can see increases in efficiency, reliability and uptime, which can translate to a reduction in operating expense.

Greg Bushman, plant manager at Ft Churchill, said: "We were excited to be the first plant in NV Energy to utilize this new technology. We have always used Bently Nevada condition monitoring for our critical assets, so it seemed like a natural fit to extend this to our essential assets as well."
