Industrial Engineering and Data Science Applied to the Solar Energy Area
[Open]
Work description
The research workplan involves the definition and specification of use cases for the application of AI techniques in solar power plants diagnosis and maintenance, considering the different type of faults, diagnosis needs, available data and the expected performance by end-users for advanced O&M strategies. Then, automatic failure mode detection algorithms will be developed, so that real data can be combined with physical and data-driven models for fault diagnosis, with the possibility of detecting, isolating, and identifying the faults. Aspects such as combination of AI and physical modelling of components (solar inverter) will be the focus of R&D activities, with a view to scientific production oriented to international journals and conferences.
