Case Study: PSEG (Public Service Enterprise Group) achieves improved reliability, reduced production costs and top‑quartile heat rate with GE Digital’s Operations Optimization

Operations Optimization Provides PSEG With Real-Time Data

PSEG (Public Service Enterprise Group), one of the 10 largest U.S. electric companies and New Jersey’s largest utility, faced the challenge of keeping a diverse fleet of ~12,000 MW of generation profitable amid fluctuating demand and fuel prices while unlocking plant data to make better operational and market decisions. To address this, PSEG engaged GE Digital and adopted GE’s Operations Optimization to drive its digital transformation.

GE Digital installed Operations Optimization at PSEG’s Linden plant, capturing sensor data, applying advanced analytics and creating a monitoring & diagnostics center to focus on availability, thermal performance and operational flexibility. The solution aligned plant managers and traders with real‑time visibility and automatic anomaly alerts, delivering measurable gains: top‑quartile heat rate and reduced production costs, minimized fuel start costs, and a 1% reliability improvement in year one worth about $2M.
