What is active power?

The active power (kW) is the generated electrical useful power; deviation from the setpoint (P-set) triggers the power control — direct indicator of engine health and gas quality.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Deviation from P-set: Indicator for gas quality (calorific value) and fuel composition.
  • Trend analysis of the kW curve: Early detection of signs of wear on the cylinders or valves.
  • Correlation with speed/load: Determination of the efficiency under variable operating conditions.
  • Stability of the active power: Indicator for the quality of control and the reliability of the power control.
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: a drifting excitation shifts the cos φ without triggering a limit value, reactive power costs or grid issues. The AI: detects the shift in proportion early and reports it before the protection reacts. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Precise monitoring of the active power minimises downtime by detecting engine degradation at an early stage. The identification of deviations enables targeted maintenance planning instead of reactive repairs. Furthermore, the analysis of the active power optimises economic efficiency through maximum utilization of the available fuel volume.
