Energy and climate tech company Enlighten (CEO Youngho Lee) announced on the 24th that it had won the '19th Republic of Korea Excellent Patent Award' for its patented technology, 'Solar Power Generation Anomaly Detection Method and Device'.
The award-winning technology was applied to Enlighten's integrated asset management platform, 'Power Generation King', and was highly evaluated for improving the operational efficiency and stability of approximately 28,800 solar power plants nationwide.
The technology is a machine learning-based diagnostic system that uses AI to predict power generation based on power data collected from solar power plant inverters and irradiance information received from satellites, and compares this with the actual power generation to determine if there are any abnormalities in real time. If any abnormalities are detected, the system automatically classifies the main causes, such as inverter failure, panel performance degradation, and control device errors, to improve diagnostic accuracy and response speed.
Another technical strength was that it can be easily applied to power plants nationwide and overseas without separate measuring equipment by utilizing satellite data. This technology, which combines real-time monitoring and automatic diagnosis functions, is said to be competitive in terms of reducing operating costs and field applicability.
Based on the technology, Enlighten provides energy asset management solutions to various customers, from small and medium-sized power generation companies to large corporations that need to respond to RE100, through ‘Power Generation King’ and the corporate customized platform ‘Power Generation King Biz’.
Enlighten CEO Lee Young-ho said, “This award is a case that proves the effectiveness of the technology through field application,” and added, “We plan to continue developing technologies that can increase the efficiency and reliability of solar power plant operation and advance the integrated operation management platform that customers can practically utilize.”
