LG Electronics and Korea Water Resources Corp. have announced a collaboration to integrate artificial intelligence into the world's largest tidal power plant. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding at the plant's cultural center in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province on Thursday. The partnership aims to explore AI-driven operations at Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant, which holds the world's largest installed capacity among tidal power plants.
The agreement combines Korea Water Resources Corp.'s experience in operating the power plant and data with LG Electronics' expertise in smart factories, digital twins, robotics, and AI. The collaboration will focus on developing a digital twin-based integrated operating system. This system will create a virtual model of the plant, incorporating real-time information from generating equipment and surveillance cameras.
The digital twin system could help forecast electricity output, simulate operating scenarios, and diagnose equipment conditions. This would enable operators to identify potential problems and assess performance before they become significant issues.
