The right services provided at the right time can help keep gas turbines running reliably and efficiently over their entire lifespans, which typically extend to 20-30 years or even longer. GE provided a comprehensive overview of services offered for gas turbines and other power generation equipment through its Jebel Ali Service Center and Monitoring and Diagnostics Center in Dubai, to help keep powering the future of energy.
The only GE facility of its kind throughout MEA, it offers the advantage of delivering faster services at competitive costs to customers in the region and beyond, while operating to the same ISO 9001 quality, as well as ISO 14001 environment, health, and safety certifications.
The diverse breadth of repairs offerings at the center cover gas turbines and generators. On-site services include blade replacement and repairs, machining repairs, generator rotor seal oil journal repairs, stator rewinds and other core maintenance. It is also GE’s only high speed balancing facility and dynamic electrical testing center for rotors in MEA.
GE’s M&D Center in Dubai is one of its industry-leading power generation equipment monitoring facilities. The center’s experts work with customers to increase uptime while reducing operations and maintenance expenses. Today, more than 950 power producing utilities use the M&D Center’s monitoring services for over 6,000 power plant assets around the world.
Globally, electricity and heat production account for up to 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions; moreover, there are still up to 770 million people in the world without reliable access to power and the demand for electricity continues to grow. Reducing carbon emissions from the power sector will play a critical role in addressing climate change.
Gas can support the further growth of renewables by providing flexible, on demand, reliable power that has the lowest carbon emissions of traditional fossil fuel based electricity and help stabilize the grid as variable sources of solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources are brought online.
As the world steps up efforts to address the climate challenge, renewable energy and gas power together, are positioned to play a leading role in accelerating the transition to a lower carbon energy future.
