Uniper UK
Uniper is an international energy company with operations spanning power generation, energy trading and gas storage. In the UK, Uniper operates a fleet of thermal power stations, including combined cycle gas turbines and conventional generation assets. Condition monitoring and rotating machinery diagnostics play a critical role in keeping these assets available and reliable. Uniper Technologies, the company's specialist technical services division, supports engineering excellence across the fleet, drawing on deep expertise in vibration analysis, machinery health and predictive maintenance.
Managing the long-term reliability of large rotating plant in thermal power generation demands rigorous monitoring disciplines and a practical understanding of how machinery behaves across its full operational life. For Uniper, that means investing in the skills, tools and processes that allow engineering teams to detect early signs of deterioration, diagnose complex faults and make informed maintenance decisions.
At the Beran Conference 2026, Uniper is represented by two experienced practitioners. Anil Balan will present a detailed case study on a severe rubbing condition encountered during a steam turbine restart following an outage, and Neil Brinkworth brings decades of hands-on condition monitoring experience from a long career in power generation. Together, they offer delegates a grounded, operational perspective on some of the real challenges facing rotating machinery engineers in the thermal power sector.
