From April 28 to 30, the 2026 Exchange Conference on Advanced Technologies and Typical Case Promotion for Digital Transformation Empowering Smart Power Plant Construction was successfully held in Guiyang. The event was sponsored by the Thermal Power Professional Committee of the China Society for Electrical Engineering, with Luculent as the supporting organization.
The conference gathered leaders, experts and industry peers from major power generation groups including China Energy Investment, SPIC, Huaneng Group and China Datang Corporation, as well as electric power planning institutes, design institutes, universities and technology enterprises, to jointly discuss the innovative path of integrated development of AI + Energy.
At the opening of the conference, Chen Song, Deputy General Manager of Luculent, delivered an opening speech. He stated that promoting the in-depth integration of AI and the energy system is an inevitable choice for safeguarding energy security and achieving the dual carbon goals. It is also a key measure to foster new quality productive forces in the industry and drive profound changes in production and management models. The ecosystem of AI + Smart Power Plant has thrived and taken deep root in Guizhou.
He remarked that embracing new opportunities for industrial development, Luculent will continue to ramp up innovation in energy digitalization and intelligence, embed smart technologies deeply into all links of energy production and supply. Standing together with industry partners, Luculent strives to be a source of technological innovation, a practitioner of scenario implementation, and a co-builder of the industrial ecosystem in the field of AI + Energy.
In the keynote session, a doctor and academic leader from Luculent delivered an insightful speech titled Industrial AI Empowering Full-scenario Digital and Intelligent Application Practices in Smart Power Plants.
He pointed out that the core pain point of digital transformation in the power generation industry lies in massive dormant data that cannot realize commercial value. Luculent’s solution takes industrial AI as the core engine. Supported by the industrial Internet platform, it connects the whole workflow of data collection, governance, modeling and application. It revitalizes dormant data scattered in DCS, SIS and other systems, converting them into valuable data assets that support intelligent early warning, operational optimization and precision maintenance, and ultimately delivers tangible data value.
The expert emphasized that a smart power plant is not to replace humans, but to empower humans. The core pursuit of power production always stays focused on safety, reliability, economy and environmental friendliness, while talents remain the ultimate responsible contributors and creators of all these values. By building a comprehensive industrial AI system, Luculent empowers every role in power plants from four dimensions: amplifying professional capabilities, releasing labor productivity, upgrading cognitive levels, and supporting scientific decision-making.
