Operating waste-to-energy power plants have a lot of day-to-day challenges. Volatile combustion, unstable steam, staff issues, and CO-peaks are common problems. In addition, there are problems that are unique to a single power plant. Often, these problems persist even with fire control systems. Artificial Intelligence in Power Plant Operations (AI enabled Plant Optimization) Uniper has […]

Gartner believes that by 2022, 85% of AI projects will fail. One of the key reasons for this high failure rate is that often the use case being applied has not been through a rigorous selection process and the following considerations are overlooked. For example, is the AI use case: Based on an operational challenge that […]
