Mitsubishi Power prevents unplanned downtime with AVEVA PI System
Mitsubishi Power designs and manufactures energy systems for power generation and storage, helping its customers move toward a more sustainable future. For more than 25 years, AVEVA PI System has been the foundation of the company's digital transformation, enabling it to monitor its own plants and those of its customers to better understand and prevent unplanned outages. Mitsubishi Power needed to integrate data from many suppliers, engineers, users and developers, monitor complex operations ranging from gas turbines to small systems, and isolate the causes of failures across multiple energy sources. AVEVA PI System gives it the visibility needed to prevent unplanned outages and make real progress toward its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
FAQ
How has AVEVA PI System supported Mitsubishi Power for 25 years?
For more than 25 years, AVEVA PI System has been the foundation of Mitsubishi Power's digital transformation. The platform monitors the power plants of the company and its customers in real time, integrating data from multiple vendors, engineers and developers. This technological continuity over a quarter of a century illustrates the robustness and longevity of the solution: a decisive advantage in a sector where energy assets operate for decades and where data backward compatibility is key to historical analysis.
How can unplanned outages in a power plant be prevented with AVEVA?
AVEVA PI System gives Mitsubishi Power the visibility it needs to detect early warning signs of failure. Real-time monitoring of gas turbines, storage batteries and hydrogen systems makes it possible to identify deviations before they cause an unplanned shutdown. This predictive approach turns corrective maintenance into condition-based maintenance, reduces revenue losses due to downtime and improves the overall reliability of the power generation fleet.
How can multiple energy sources be monitored on a single platform?
Mitsubishi Power operates a variety of technologies: gas turbines, small systems, hydrogen producers and storage batteries. AVEVA PI System unifies the monitoring of these heterogeneous sources in a single platform, able to isolate the causes of failure despite the diversity of technologies. This versatility is essential for an OEM supporting the energy transition, where asset portfolios are becoming multi-technology and require shared operational intelligence.
What role does AVEVA play in an energy company's Net Zero 2050 goal?
Mitsubishi Power's ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050 depends on its ability to monitor and optimize low-carbon technologies such as hydrogen and battery storage. AVEVA PI System provides the essential data layer to measure environmental performance, adjust operations and demonstrate progress to stakeholders. It is a key tool of the decarbonization strategy: without reliable real-time data, no credible Net Zero pathway is possible.
How does AVEVA help an OEM monitor power plants installed at its customers' sites?
AVEVA PI System enables Mitsubishi Power to monitor both its own power plants and those deployed at customer sites, creating a differentiating value-added service. The OEM builds unique know-how about the real-world behavior of its equipment in operation, anticipates maintenance needs and offers data-driven service contracts. This connected strategy strengthens customer relationships, generates recurring revenue and feeds continuous improvement of future equipment generations.
