Recently, good news came from the national - level technology appraisal meeting organized by the Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering: an AI technology independently developed by Luculent Smart Technology Co., Ltd. has reached an "internationally advanced level" as a whole. Authoritative experts from industry, academia, and research fields, including the Engineering Research Institute of China Energy Engineering Group, the Electric Power Planning and Design Institute, North China Electric Power University, and the Science and Technology Research Institute of China Datang Corporation, participated in the project appraisal.

Currently, in thermal power plants, problems such as high - intensity manual inspections, low - efficiency early - warnings, and inaccurate judgments are prevalent. Targeting these industry pain points, the Luculent team carried out targeted research and achieved a series of new breakthroughs in core technologies, developing the "Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Management System for Thermal Power Based on Industrial Large - scale Model + Dynamic Knowledge Graph Technology". This AI technology has demonstrated its capabilities at Guoneng Yueyang Power Generation Co., Ltd.

From "Experience - led" to "Data - driven Decision - making"

"The AI system can penetrate the health status of equipment like a CT scan," said the Science and Technology Information Supervisor of the Production Technology Department of Yueyang Power Plant, pointing to an early - warning case. At 13:35 on March 25th, the AI model detected that "the oil level in the thin oil tank of the 1C circulating water pump of the No. 1 steam turbine was abnormally rising", diagnosing that the packing on the non - driving end of the 1C circulating water pump was severely leaking, and water had entered the bearing box, causing water in the oil. This timely alarm effectively avoided potential risks and economic losses to the unit operation caused by equipment failures.
"Previously, people had to search for data; now, data finds people."
As a benchmark project for the digital transformation of Guoneng Group, since the "Smart Energy Coordination Platform" went online, it has built more than 870 algorithm models for the power plant, generated 78 intelligent reports. Operation and maintenance personnel no longer have to "run around", with their inspection workload reduced by 60% and work efficiency increased by more than 20%. The early - warning system has eliminated 27 "equipment fault hazards", shortened maintenance man - hours by 15%, reduced auxiliary equipment failures by 20%, and is expected to save about 8 million yuan in annual operation and maintenance costs for a single power plant. This AI technology has become a "whistle - blower" for faults, an "analyst" for abnormalities, and a "courier" for fault - solving solutions, making decision - making more "intelligent"!

"Dynamic Integration" Breaks the "Fault Black Box"

According to the expert appraisal, the AI system developed by Luculent has reached an "internationally advanced level" as a whole, and the "parameter degradation + fault record" dual - level dynamic graph, a first in the industry within the system, has been recognized by experts as reaching an "internationally leading level". Through time - series analysis technology and machine - learning algorithms, it can not only predict the performance degradation trend of equipment but also construct a cross - time - space fault causal association network.
Actual measurement data shows that with this AI technology, the real - time prediction accuracy of equipment health scores and fault risks has exceeded 92.6%, and the average time for interpretable positioning and reasoning of fault root causes is 3.21 seconds, with an efficiency improvement of 300% compared to traditional methods.
"Generally speaking, it's like installing a'smart brain' for the unit. It's as if the equipment can'speak' for itself, and AI outpaces faults!" an industrial equipment expert from Luculent vividly metaphorized. The platform has achieved a full - chain AI upgrade from data collection, diagnosis, modeling, analysis to maintenance management. From "manual experience" to "global intelligent control", it enables equipment to "speak" and exposes abnormal states; from "fragmented" to "holistic mastery", it allows for overall monitoring and management, providing decision - making support for unit scheduling optimization, power generation plans, and energy - efficiency improvement; from "on - site monitoring" to "fingertip decision - making", it truly realizes "planning from afar and winning with precision".

"Fully In - house R & D" Breaks through the "Chokepoint" Dilemma

As an industrial operation and maintenance platform with full - chain self - control, the system has achieved full domestic substitution from the underlying protocols to the algorithm framework and then to system applications. Relying on the national - level "dual - cross" SuShine Industrial Internet Platform, Luculent has overcome problems such as data protocol compatibility and industrial control system adaptation. While reducing deployment costs by 50%, it is compatible with more than 95% of industrial control systems.
An industrial equipment expert from Luculent introduced that relying on the domestic - developed kernel of the IoT protocol stack, the team successfully achieved in - depth parsing of multi - source heterogeneous data protocols. Their self - developed AI algorithm platform is not only proficient in unit energy - efficiency optimization but also excels at accurately predicting equipment lifespan through big data, providing a forward - looking scientific basis for enterprises' equipment maintenance and management. In addition, the company has meticulously created a fully domestic - developed application system, which, like an "all - around housekeeper", comprehensively covers every key link of equipment operation and maintenance, from real - time monitoring to intelligent diagnosis and then to precise formulation of maintenance decisions, making industrial operation and maintenance more efficient and intelligent.
"This is not only a technological breakthrough but also a strategic breakthrough in the autonomy of industrial software in the energy field, installing a 'Digital China Core' for the modernization of China's energy system." This new technology has also been widely applied in heavy - asset process fields such as coal mining and chemical engineering, with good economic and social benefits and broad application prospects.
