Power generation suppliers use the PI System to better manage entire fleets of generator units, including reducing forced unit outages. One major supplier stated that a 1% reduction in forced outages (from 1,000 to 990 events) would provide over $2 million per year in margin increase. Any forced outages that occurred during a high-margin window would result in significantly higher savings. In addition, converting 1% of forced outages to planned outages would increase margins by over $1.5 million per year by allowing the outage to be scheduled during a lower margin window and by shortening the downtime duration.
