The Challenge
Eggborough Power, a company that has been constructing power stations since 1962 and supplying electricity to the National Grid in the United Kingdom since 1967, faced a challenge in monitoring the plant’s performance and identifying potential improvements. The company had to make decisions based on reports, which involved scanning through the database daily and looking for anomalies hidden amongst rows and rows of data. This process was both time-consuming and ineffective in figuring out where potential improvements could be made.
About The Customer
Eggborough Power is a company that has been constructing power stations since 1962 and supplying electricity to the National Grid in the United Kingdom since 1967. The company uses a variety of methods to generate electricity including turbines, boilers, biomass, and pulverized fuel ash. Through these methods, Eggborough is able to generate enough energy to power 2 million homes. The company is committed to running efficiently, ensuring that the energy they provide is being used with little to no waste at all times.
The Solution
To address the challenge, Eggborough Power started using Dundas Dashboards to monitor the plant performance. The dashboards allowed the company to look at the cost of losses to figure out the performance of each unit and also to understand how much it costs and where they were spending the work. By implementing these dashboards, the company no longer had to rely on their old reporting services. The implementation of Dundas Dashboards was easy and rapid, making it a suitable solution for the company.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Dundas Dashboards has helped Eggborough Power reduce about 600,000 pounds off the bottom line of their electricity costs.
  • The company has strengthened their alarm systems analysis because they have been able to do some queries for health and safety and present that graphically.
  • The solution has made Eggborough a safer place to work.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced about 600,000 pounds off the bottom line of their electricity costs.
