Artificial Intelligence in Power Stations
Recently, due to concerns about the liberalization of
electricity supply, deregulation, and global impact on the environment,
securing a reliable power supply has become an important social need worldwide.
To ensure this need is fulfilled, detailed investigations and developments are
in progress on power distribution systems and the monitoring of apparatus.
These are on
(1) “digital technology” based on the application of semiconductor
high-speed elements,
(2) intelligent substations applying IT (information
technology), and
(3) system configurations aimed at high-speed communication.
Incorporated in these are demands for the future intelligent control of
substations, protection, monitoring, and communication systems that have
advantages in terms of high performance, functional distribution,
information-sharing and integrated power distribution management. Today’s
conventional apparatus also requires streamlining of functions, improvements in
sensor technology, and standardized interfaces.
By promoting these
developments, the following savings for the whole system can be expected:
(1)
reduced costs in remote surveillance in the field of apparatus monitoring,
operation, and maintenance,
(2) reduced maintenance costs based on the
integrated management of equipment, and
(3) reduced costs due to space saving
as a result of miniaturizing equipment.
