GSE Wins Additional Contracts for Thermal Performance Optimization and Regulatory Programs

COLUMBIA, Md., March 23, 2022 - GSE Systems, In, a leader in advanced engineering and workforce solutions that support the future of clean-energy production and decarbonization initiatives of the power industry, recently signed several follow-on agreements with nuclear utility clients, reinforcing GSE's role as a valuable partner for those navigating the zero carbon energy landscape.

GSE's recent awards with a long-term customer, valued at approximately $1.0 million, includes a contract extension to provide additional plant optimization tools and services. These GSE tools and services will help the customer improve the efficiency of plant operations while increasing the amount of power accounted for from their plant operations.

GSE TrueNorth, a division of GSE Solutions, will provide optimization contract services, delivering industry-leading engineering program experience, evolving guidance, and innovative software tools to maintain regulatory compliance. Together, the Company's services help to optimize a plant's ability to produce electricity reliably and efficiently.

The GSE solutions involved in this recent award include:

TSM Enterprise™, a web-based plant thermal system monitoring (TSM) platform that combines services for three areas critical to overall plant health and performance:
Monitoring plant parameters for thermal performance through tools such as Digital Validation and Reconciliation (DVR) and cycle isolation
Real-time monitoring of Engineering Programs such as Inservice Testing
Integration of GSE's dynamic simulation library addressing the real-time analysis of selected plant components and subsystems.
Power Recovery Analysis using DVR to model the thermal cycle and lower cycle uncertainties.
Inservice Testing Update emphasizing ASME OM requirements and evolving industry guidance
Underground Piping and Tank Integrity (UPTI) Programs.
Appendix J Programmatic Testing.

The utility will also have access to GSE's broad expertise for ongoing technical support. In the spirit of sustainability, GSE maintains a deep bench of expertise that includes both bright, promising engineers and staff members with 40 or more years of industry experience to help guide and mentor others.
