Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant concept, it’s already changing how power plants operate, from optimizing combustion to predicting failures before they happen. But where is AI headed next, and what does it mean for operators, engineers, and executives in the power generation industry?
In this vodcast, host Gregory Vogel (Sr. Manager, TCP) sits down with Benjamin Saunders (Product Manager, Digital Solutions) to explore how AI will shape the future of gas turbines and plant operations.
Join us for a candid conversation about:
- The current role of AI in power generation.
- How operators and engineers are beginning to apply it to daily operations.
- The challenges of integrating AI into legacy systems.
- What the next decade of digital solutions could look like for the industry.
This vodcast offers practical, grounded perspectives on what AI can do for power plants today, and what’s coming next.
