Enhancement of AI Remote Monitoring and Operation Support System for Optimal Operation of Waste Incineration Facilities

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a need for waste incinerators to achieve both stable operation and cost reduction from the viewpoint of CO₂ emission control. In addition, due to concerns about the shortage of experienced operators at waste incinerators, it has become important not only to operate and manage waste incinerators but also to support waste incinerators with systems that eliminate dependency as much as possible. Based on this background, MHIEC has developed an AI remote monitoring and operation support system with an operation scoring function to facilitate operation and stabilize operation of facilities. In this paper, among the operation scoring of MHIEC's AI remote monitoring and operation support system, the equipment scoring (infrastructure health score), which plays a role in the detection of failure signs of important plant equipment, is reported together with the verification results conducted at the A incineration plant.
