Bentley’s iTwin platform aggregates engineering data, 3D models, and real-time IoT feeds into a single, visual interface. For conventional power plants, this digital twin enables operators to monitor asset health remotely, optimize thermal efficiency, and make data-driven decisions that extend the operational life of aging infrastructure.

Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, powered by ProjectWise, establishes a secure Common Data Environment (CDE). It centralizes all engineering workflows, manages version control, and ensures that internal teams and external contractors are always working from the latest approved documents, virtually eliminating rework caused by outdated information.

Bentley offers flexible licensing to suit your operational scale. For enterprise clients, the E365 program provides unrestricted, pooled access to our comprehensive software portfolio with predictable billing. For smaller teams, Virtuoso subscriptions bundle named user software access with dedicated expert training credits.

Yes, interoperability is a core strength. OpenPlant is built on an open data model (ISO 15926) that allows seamless integration with legacy data and major third-party systems like Hexagon and AVEVA. This lets you consolidate diverse datasets into a unified digital twin without abandoning your existing engineering archives.

AssetWise Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) controls plant configuration management and ensures a single source of truth. By tightly linking engineering data with maintenance records and operating procedures, it keeps your facility audit-ready and compliant with strict energy sector regulations.

A well-maintained digital twin is invaluable at the end of a plant’s lifecycle. By providing an exact, up-to-date 3D representation and complete historical data of the facility, Bentley’s iTwin capabilities help teams safely plan complex dismantling operations, manage hazardous material records, or engineer the site for a renewable transition.
