Demonstration Project Starts in Indonesia on the Use of Anomaly Predictive Diagnostics for Geothermal Power Plants (News Release)
 |
| Predictive diagnostics technology’s outline |
In this demonstration,
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS) will implement an anomaly predictive diagnostics technology using big data analysis which Toshiba ESS has developed since 2018 under
New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)’s grant, on an actual power generation equipment in Indonesia in order to review the technology’s ability to predict anomalies ahead of time, while validating the effectiveness of this technology. Indonesia is a country that is actively utilizing geothermal resources for power generation.
Through this demonstration, Toshiba ESS aims to lower the rate of problem occurrences at geothermal power plants by 20% and reduce unplanned outage period in power stations. Increasing utilization factor leads to an increase of power generation amount and a reduction of the generation cost. It can be expected that the project will contribute to higher adoption of geothermal energy.
