Duke Energy Turbine and Generator Services (TGS) exists to provide programmatic engineering and technical support to the fleet of turbines and generators. We embrace and diligently pursue the vision of zero major events for these centerline assets resulting in substantial and sustained improvements in station availability/reliability and exceptional long-term shareholder value. TGS is committed to relentlessly and purposefully leveraging people, organizations, information, technology, and analytical techniques to identify, evaluate and address any issue that could contribute to a major event.
TGS Generator Engineers provide frontline engineering support for generator centerline equipment. This involves direct technical engagement and coordination with plant operations, engineering, and technical support functions; other internal technical support organizations; OEM's; vendors; shops and other resources as required. Generator Engineers interface and coordinate with multiple organizations and individuals to ensure that major maintenance on generators: is prioritized and scheduled correctly based on maintenance history, existing technical issues, and asset maintenance interval; achieves specified outage goals; is in accordance with all applicable specifications and requirements; is accomplished with only approved parts and repair/assembly techniques; complies with all required inspections and hold points; is executed with tasks in the correct order; and is completely and accurately documented. Generator Engineers develop detailed outage work scope requirements/documentation and engage in many other engineering and technical support activities to directly support the operations, maintenance, and ongoing improvement of reliability on the generator assets. Generator Engineers provide a significant 'boots on the ground' engineering presence during planned or emergent outages and other significant events or evolutions on the generator centerline assets. When not directly supporting onsite work, the Generator Engineer is engaged in planning, research, reviews, root cause analysis, documentation, etc. to support the availability, reliability, and major maintenance planning for these assets. Generators Engineers are considered the "technical owner" of the generator, exciter, and generator auxiliary systems and would be responsible for reliable performance of these components.
