The Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) has been honored with the Technology Transfer Award (TTA) from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) for their advancements in wind power technology. This prestigious recognition comes from the U.S.-based nonprofit power research consortium.
The award acknowledges the outcomes of a wind power performance improvement project that was jointly undertaken by KHNP and EPRI. At the core of this project, KHNP devised an advanced engineering technology leveraging machine learning to pinpoint abnormal turbine behavior, pinpoint the reasons behind performance degradation, and devise strategies to enhance efficiency.
KHNP put this technology to the test in wind farms operating across the United States. By employing this technology, KHNP was able to identify underperforming turbines, delve into the causes of their performance drops, and craft plans to boost efficiency. KHNP intends to incorporate this software into its operations and continues working on refining it into an in-house technology.
The implementation of this technology is anticipated to lessen KHNP's dependence on external engineering services and cut maintenance costs. Simultaneously, this move is expected to enhance the performance and efficiency of its wind power operations.
