Work description
1) Model and validate Digital Twins (DT) of power generation plants for the creation of a fault database. The models will be based on the technical specifications of each plant and validated using SCADA system data. 2) Develop machine learning (ML) algorithms for fault diagnosis and malfunctions in power generation plants, using SCADA system data combined with synthetic data from Digital Twins (DT). 3) Develop a recommendation system that will support operation and maintenance (O&M) teams by providing strategic information on the current status of various equipment in the power generation plant. 4) Validate the developed methodologies with real data and different use cases focused on the energy transition. 5) Disseminate the work in international journals and/or conferences.
