Siemens developed a software that cools steam turbines more rapidly. This shortens the maintenance phase. An operator can bring a power plant back on line sooner. A revision interrupts the generation of electricity. Depending on the type of a steam turbine the software allows to shorten the cooling period from seven to ten days to two to four days. A gas turbine normally cools down in a single day.
