Geothermal Software for Reliability and Performance Monitoring

Recover lost generation. Reduce geothermal risk. Improve asset performance.

EtaPRO’s geothermal performance and reliability monitoring software helps quantify recoverable generation, detect developing equipment and process degradation, and improve availability across the steamfield, turbine, condenser, cooling, generator, and balance-of-plant systems.

See Where Value is Being Lost. Act Before Issues Escalate.

Compare actual performance with expected and best-achievable performance under changing steamfield, ambient, cooling, and operating conditions. Quantify losses in MW and MWh so teams can focus on the great technical and financial opportunity.

Combine first-principles thermal models, advanced pattern recognition, and vibration diagnostics to identify abnormal behavior earlier, before it contributes to derates, outages, or major equipment impacts.

Two dashboards demonstrating how EtaPRO offers geothermal software for reliability and performance monitoring.

Operations

Identify controllable losses and abnormal operating conditions in real time. Use clear dashboards, alerts, and automated reporting to improve daily decisions and sustain recovered generation.

Management

See performance, availability, and reliability risk in business terms. Prioritize actions by recoverable MW, annual MWh, avoided derates or outages, and plant-specific financial impact.

Engineering

Separate true equipment degradation from steamfield, ambient, cooling, and other boundary-condition effects. Use model-based analysis to explain declining output and support operational, maintenance, and capital decisions.

Maintenance

Detect developing equipment and process issues before conventional limits are reached. Plan interventions earlier, reduce unplanned work, and focus resources on the assets and conditions with the greatest risk.

EtaPRO APR

Early warning of potential faults and equipment issues
Early warning of problems and off-normal conditions help reduce unplanned and corrective maintenance on steam generators, turbines, heat exchanges (flash steam systems) feedwater heaters, condensers, pumps, compressors, fans, cooling towers and other critical equipment before costs become significant.

Reduce unplanned maintenance
Save cost, schedule maintenance proactively, and avoid unplanned outages and repairs before a catastrophic event occurs.

Detect anomalies on your turbines, condensers, heat exchangers, large pumps, and other critical equipment before minor issues turn into major faults with EtaPRO APR.

What People Are Saying

Hear from the clients we strive to delight every day so they can achieve excellence.

Principal Performance Engineer Midwestern Power Producer
EtaPRO®’s VirtualPlant is a lot easier and quicker to get results with than other programs I’ve used. I like the way I don’t have to make complex changes to model problems we commonly find in the plant. Plus, I don’t have to spend time relearning VirtualPlant every time I use it.
Plant engineer Midwest Coal Plant
EtaPRO APR identified an elevated bearing metal temperature on our steam turbine which had indicated a 10°F temperature increase following a one week outage. After inspection, we were able to prepare and replace the journal bearing before any major damage occurred to the shaft or other components and a potential unit trip avoided - saving an estimated $150,000.
Plant manager Hydro Plant, Southwest Europe
EtaPRO Predictor is like having a vibration specialist looking at my equipment 24-7. I find out about potential problems well before they become critical.
M&D Center Manager Multi-generation plant, Southwest US
Having EtaPRO Archive as the data historian for my EtaPRO system helped me avoid purchasing another historian for a new plant we brought on-line. It integrates smoothly with our existing technologies.
