[SMM Aluminum Express News] The Nasser Centre for Science and Technology (NCST) and Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) have developed an AI-powered monitoring system for gas turbines at Alba's Power Station 4 to support predictive maintenance and improve operational reliability. The system continuously monitors four gas turbines (GT-51, GT-52, GT-61 and GT-62), using AI to analyze compressor pressure, turbine blade cooling efficiency and other operating parameters to detect early signs of fouling, cooling-port blockages and other performance issues before they lead to unplanned failures. The platform integrates real-time operational data, historical records, AI analytics and automated alerts into a single system, enabling engineers to identify abnormal operating conditions and respond more quickly. The project forms part of Alba's broader digitalization strategy and ongoing collaboration with NCST to deploy artificial intelligence across industrial operations in Bahrain.
