Operations &
Maintenance.
A power plant's lifetime revenue is determined not just by the engineering at build — but by how well it is operated and maintained over its 40–50 year life. Helium Power Energy's O&M teams combine deep electromechanical expertise with digital monitoring and predictive analytics to keep assets running at peak performance, sustaining greater than 97% availability across our operated fleet.
Keeping Assets
At Peak Performance.
Predictive Maintenance
Vibration analysis, oil sampling, thermographic surveys, partial-discharge testing, and machine-learning-driven anomaly detection identify faults before they become failures — dramatically reducing unplanned downtime.
Remote SCADA Monitoring
Our 24/7 control room provides real-time telemetry for every plant in the operated fleet. Over 10,000 data points per unit are logged per second, with automated alarm management and fault escalation protocols.
Planned Maintenance & Overhauls
Annual planned outages covering runner inspections, generator rewinds, governor servicing, transformer oil testing, and protection relay calibration — all co-ordinated to minimise seasonal revenue impact.
Performance Optimisation
Hydraulic performance testing, gate and guide-vane calibration, turbine runner polishing, and operational mode switching to maximise efficiency across the full load range.
Technology-Specific
O&M Regimes.
Structured for
Long-Term Value.
Asset Condition Baseline
Comprehensive condition survey at contract inception, establishing a digital asset register, baseline performance data, and a prioritised maintenance backlog.
Maintenance Planning
Annual maintenance plan developed with the client, sequencing planned outages to minimise revenue impact and align with OEM maintenance intervals.
Execution & Reporting
Planned works executed by our specialist teams. Monthly O&M reports cover work orders completed, availability, energy production, incidents, and KPI performance.
Continuous Improvement
Root cause analysis (RCA) for all forced outages, reliability improvement programmes, and regular technical reviews to evolve the maintenance strategy.
Your Asset.
Our Responsibility.
Our O&M model is built on three principles: transparency (full reporting, open-book cost access), deep technical competence (in-house specialists — not generalist contractors), and a genuine alignment of our incentives with long-term asset performance.
