Budgets causing you to cut back on scheduled
maintenance? Wouldnt it be nice if you could extend
the time between outages? What if you could avoid
unplanned outages altogether? GE can help you
meet these goals while maintaining the health of
your generator. With our technology, knowledge and
experience, we can help you create a maintenance
plan based on the actual condition of your generator.

Accurately anticipating.
How can your generators condition be assessed without
scheduled outages and visual inspections? GE has a way.
Weve created and continue to develop advanced sensors and
automated monitoring algorithms that aim to enable predictive
maintenance. Our unique approach includes sensors that
monitor key failure modes that historically dictate the scheduled
outage interval. This enables you to anticipate problems. Better
yet, youll know when to leave well enough alone. Whatever
your specific needs, GE can custom tailor a monitoring solution
from our extensive suite of technologies and services. Youll
gain continuous assessment of your generators condition.
You may choose to purchase a stand-alone unit such as the
stator leak monitoring system or a complete package. Most
GE generator monitoring technologies can be integrated
Insulation Technology
GE continuously makes investments to develop better performing insulation systems. Currently, our
systems are rated for class F+ thermal capability which leads to extended life when operated in class B
or F temperatures. In addition, our insulation technology developments have led to greater voltage
endurance capabilities.
World-Class Execution
Equipped with highly productive tools such as GEs
proprietary bar transport and stator wedge tooling, GE
provides world-class short outage durations. In addition,
GEs execution team is led by a dedicated project manager,
who is a recognized expert in generator service and your
single point of contact for all your needs, from order
through warranty.

As power generation plants approach the end of their effective operational life, you may
face a challenging decision between upgrading or retiring. In many instances, when
power plants are retired, there may be concerns that could adversely affect local
electrical system voltage stability. GE now offers engineered solutions that convert
existing synchronous generators, powered by gas or steam turbines, into synchronous
condensers with minimal disruption. GEs solution is focused on clean-waveform static
start technology to drive the generator, which is now disconnected from the
prime mover, to synchronous speed. This is achieved by the use of a variable
frequency drive (VFD)which reduces the duty imposed on the generator, reduces
mechanical alterations, and avoids the cost and maintenance of a starting motor.
Experience: over 700 static start systems in use for gas turbines
Uniquely equipped to study the full electrical system inclusive of interconnection
(gen hardware, controls, stability analysis, grid code expertise, etc.)
Better control
through retrofit.
Have an aging generator control system? You may be
faced with a lack of parts availability, increased maintenance,
shortage of knowledgeable service personnel and a lack
of critical excitation system data needed to manage the
asset. Whether you have a vintage static exciter, EX2000, or
Alterrex system, GE offers several retrofit options that help
you to achieve improved reliability, availability, reduced
maintenance and increased options for redundancy.
Trust GE to provide you with:
Increased power system stability through software and tuning
System expertise, from full integration to coordination
Uprate support
Online repair solutions
