Doosan Enerbility is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance the competitiveness of its power plant operations and maintenance. The company aims to improve equipment diagnostics and operational efficiency by utilizing data accumulated during the manufacturing and maintenance processes.
On November 15, Doosan Enerbility announced that it hosted the '2026 Power Operations Technology Exchange' at its headquarters in Changwon from November 12 to 13, inviting key domestic power companies and academic experts. This annual event, held since 2022, aims to share operational experiences and the latest technologies with clients. This year, over 100 attendees, including representatives from power companies and university professors, discussed current issues and technological needs in power plant operations.
The technology exchange featured presentations on the status of combined cycle power projects, supply response strategies, AI-based remote monitoring and diagnostic technologies, micro-crack detection using AI, and case studies on AI data construction and utilization in the power sector.
Notably, Doosan Enerbility showcased its self-developed predictive diagnostic solution, 'PreVision,' and AI non-destructive testing technology as key examples. PreVision analyzes operational data from power plants to detect anomalies at an early stage. The company also shared technologies that support operations and maintenance using technical data from power plants.
In addition to expanding its supply of power plant equipment, including gas turbines, Doosan Enerbility is strengthening its long-term service and digital solutions business. The company plans to enhance operational stability and maintenance efficiency through AI-based predictive maintenance and non-destructive testing.
Doosan Enerbility has secured contracts in its maintenance and service business. In May, it signed a long-term parts procurement contract worth approximately 480 billion won with Korea Southern Power. This contract involves supplying high-temperature components, regeneration maintenance, and technical support for three gas turbines at the Goyang Changneung Combined Heat and Power Plant and the Hadong Combined Cycle Power Plant, which aim to commence commercial operations by December 2029.
Son Seung-woo, head of Doosan Enerbility's Power Service BG, stated, "Integrating manufacturing and maintenance experience with operational data and AI technology is becoming increasingly important. We will continue to share field experiences and technological needs with our power company clients and enhance digital service technologies to support stable operations of power plants based on this collaboration."
On the second day of the event, attendees toured Doosan Enerbility's gas turbine factory and the testing and training center for its self-developed power plant control system, 'GUARDIAN.'
Doosan Enerbility plans to continue its regular technology exchanges to share the accumulated technologies and experiences from manufacturing to testing, operation, and maintenance with its clients.
