Energy Management Goes Beyond Monitoring to Decision-Making

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 12:47:55 +0000

Utilities and independent power producers have spent years adding sensors to their generating fleets and creating dashboards to view what they relay. But visibility into how a plant is operating isn’t the same as knowing what to do about it—and that gap is where Siemens Energy’s Omnivise Energy Management System is increasingly shedding light, explained […]

Condenser Chemistry Management: From Grab Samples to Predictive Digital Twins

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 11:07:28 +0000

When I walk into the main office of a power plant, it’s always on the main TV screen, along with heat rate, load, and other critical numbers. I’m talking about condenser backpressure. Every power plant manager watches this number (Figure 1), and they should. A PEPSE (Performance Evaluation of Power System Efficiencies) analysis of a […]
