The remote monitoring and operation center for tracking IndianOil's refinery gas turbine was implemented by BHEL-GE Gas Turbine Services (BGGTS), a joint venture of BHEL and General Electric.
"This is the first time such a multi-unit monitoring system is being implemented by the Oil PSUs in the country," said IOC chairman SM Vaidya.
They reported that the remote surveillance system was originally envisaged to operate from GE's Atlanta Analytical Center in the United States, but due to the data residency clause and national cyber security guidelines, it will now be operated from Hyderabad.
The technique - called Proactive Predictive Analytics-based automatic anomaly detection - will allow gas turbine operational data to be digitally analyzed from 27 turbines of eight IndianOil refineries in Hyderabad to be analyzed round the clock in Hyderabad.

This analysis will help detect and diagnose emerging issues related to gas turbines before they become critical and trigger corrective actions. This will help avoid the shutdown of the refinery process unit.
