TEPCO & MHPS launches digital solution service to improve asset value of clean coal power plants

TEPCO Fuel & Power, Inc. (TEPCO FP) and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) have begun providing a digital solution service for the Pagbilao power station operated by TeaM Energy Corporation in Philippines. TEPCO FP and MHPS have been working towards commercialisation of operations and maintenance (O&M) solution services for power plants since concluding a basic business partnership agreement aimed at enhancing the efficiency of thermal power plants in September, 2016.

In April 2017, TEPCO FP and MHPS installed their jointly developed anomaly detection model at the Pagbilao power station. The system shares information over an IoT platform that enables early detection of anomalies in the whole plant equipment. The initiative was highly assessed and led to the first contract of its kind. The collaboration is a product of TEPCO FP’s expertise in O&M and MHPS’ capabilities in design, manufacturing, construction, and service solutions. This highly reliable predictive anomaly detection system is expected to improve plant availability and lower O&M costs at the Pagbilao power station.
