LG Electronics is expanding its smart factory technology into the renewable energy sector through a partnership with Korea Water Resources Corp. The companies recently signed a memorandum of understanding at the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant's cultural center in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, to explore AI-driven operations at the facility. Sihwa Lake holds the title of having the largest installed capacity among tidal power plants worldwide.
LG Electronics and K-water will leverage their respective expertise to develop a digital twin-based integrated operating system for the plant. This system will create a virtual model of the plant, incorporating real-time data from generating equipment and surveillance cameras. By utilizing this approach, the system could forecast electricity output, simulate various operating scenarios, and diagnose equipment conditions.
This would allow operators to identify potential problems and assess performance before they occur, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the tidal power plant.
