--- title: Advanced analytics for aging generator fleets date: 2023-11-14T14:34:00-05:00 author: jessica napert canonical_url: "https://www.bbaconsultants.com/es-cl/projects/advanced-analytics-for-aging-generator-fleets" section: Projects --- As part of TransAlta’s long-term strategy to improve their capability to track the condition of their generation plant over time, BBA performed a comprehensive review of their demographics, inspection, maintenance and telemetric data. We identified key indicators that strongly correlate to end-of-life criteria and failure modes and combined them into an asset health index (AHI), which serves as a benchmark for measuring overall asset health. The AHI was then used to assess the condition of four steam turbine generator units as a proof-of-concept. - Fecha may 20, 2021 - Región Centro de Canadá - Cliente TransAlta 1. ## Our experts' solutions  Steam turbine generators are among the most complex assets to manage in terms of component degradation and failure modes. To overcome this challenge, each asset was segmented into its rotor, stator and supporting equipment. Degradation factors for each component were aggregated to formulate the AHI for each component. An overall AHI for each unit was also calculated by combining the rotor, stator and supporting AHIs. The framework uses data from both online (monitoring) and offline (testing) sources to provide a comprehensive portrait of asset health. This solution gave the client valuable insights into not only the generator’s overall condition, but the condition of each component. These insights can be used for reliability-centered maintenance and risk-based planning. - [ 01 oct 2026 Energía Eléctrica y Renovables La confiabilidad del suministro eléctrico comienza con la estrategia adecuada de interconexión a la red - ![Jeremie Cote](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/206702/Jeremie-Cote.webp) - ![Alizera Khosroshahi](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/216932/Alizera-Khosroshahi.webp) ](https://www.bbaconsultants.com/es-cl/perspectivas/la-confiabilidad-del-suministro-electrico-comienza-con-la-estrategia-adecuada-interconexion-a-la-red "La confiabilidad del suministro eléctrico comienza con la estrategia adecuada de interconexión a la red") - [ 23 sept 2026 Energía Eléctrica y Renovables Mientras el auge solar de Alberta pierde impulso, la próxima ola de desarrollo en Ontario apenas comienza. - ![Pr employee men scott fleming retouch web SQ LR BBA](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/204270/pr_employee_men_scott-fleming_retouch_web_SQ_LR_BBA.webp) - ![Brenden Marchewka](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/203981/Brenden-Marchewka.webp) ](https://www.bbaconsultants.com/es-cl/perspectivas/moentras-el-auge-solar-de-alberta-pierde-impulso-la-proxima-ola-de-desarrollo-en-ontario-apenas-comienza "Mientras el auge solar de Alberta pierde impulso, la próxima ola de desarrollo en Ontario apenas comienza.") - [ 14 sept 2026 Otras Industrias La planificación de la resiliencia climática es esencial para el desempeño a largo plazo de un proyecto. - ![Pr employee men vincent clement retouch web SQ LR BBA](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/204267/pr_employee_men_vincent-clement_retouch_web_SQ_LR_BBA.webp) - ![Kate Ross](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/216019/Kate-Ross.webp) ](https://www.bbaconsultants.com/es-cl/perspectivas/planificacion-resiliencia-climatica-esencial-para-el-desempeno-largo-plazo-de-un-proyecto "La planificación de la resiliencia climática es esencial para el desempeño a largo plazo de un proyecto.") - [ 02 sept 2026 Minería y metalurgia Why data quality is the real AI challenge in the mining industry - ![Marie Eve Desrochers](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/215810/Marie-Eve-Desrochers.webp) - ![Guillaume Boily](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/215807/Guillaume-Boily.webp) ](https://www.bbaconsultants.com/es-cl/perspectivas/why-data-quality-is-the-real-ai-challenge-in-the-mining-industry "Why data quality is the real AI challenge in the mining industry") 1. ## Our experts' solutions  Steam turbine generators are among the most complex assets to manage in terms of component degradation and failure modes.
