What is an operating hour counter?

Cumulative operating hours control all maintenance intervals and form the basis for KWKG (cogeneration) subsidies; typical long-running units reach 80,000–100,000 operating hours until the major overhaul.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Monitoring of major overhaul cycles (typically at 80,000 to 100,000 operating hours)
  • Early warning for worn components such as spark plugs or injection nozzles
  • Precise documentation for the KWKG (cogeneration) subsidy audit
  • Determination of the remaining runtime until the next planned major maintenance
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: cycles the CHP unit too frequently, wear increases without an alarm being triggered, leading to a shorter service life and higher maintenance costs. The AI: detects the unfavourable operating pattern early and suggests a smoother mode of operation. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Precise monitoring of operating hours prevents unplanned downtime and ensures the long-term availability of the CHP unit. By coupling runtime data with the maintenance plan, spare parts are provided in a timely manner. This minimises failure costs and optimises the annual efficiency of the plant. work produced per year (kWh) · nominal power (kW) → — full load hours/year Calculation: work produced ÷ nominal power
