What is How is a CHP unit monitored remotely??

Modern CHP units communicate via Modbus/TCP or HTTP-API with central monitoring systems; operating parameters are written to databases at one-minute intervals — remote monitoring enables early fault detection and maintenance planning without an on-site visit.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Real-time transmission of temperature and pressure for the detection of anomalies
  • Monitoring of efficiency (η) to identify fouling
  • Recording of operating hours as a basis for preventive maintenance
  • Evaluation of performance data to optimise fuel efficiency
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: if the CHP unit cycles 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 steadier mode of operation. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Remote monitoring reduces downtime through early fault detection and minimises the costs for unnecessary on-site inspections. By analysing live measured values, inefficiencies can be identified immediately. This enables targeted maintenance planning based on actual operating hours instead of fixed intervals.
