The Digital Power Plant: How Software, Sensors and AI Are Changing Energy Operations
Power plants are becoming increasingly connected as sensors, advanced control systems and analytical software provide greater visibility into equipment and operating conditions. Digital twins can model assets, predictive systems can identify developing problems and artificial intelligence can assist with optimisation and maintenance decisions. This edition examines the digital transformation of power generation across different plant types, exploring how software and data can improve reliability, efficiency and asset performance while recognising the continuing importance of engineering knowledge and operational control.
Editor's Note
Digital technology creates value in power generation when it improves the understanding and operation of physical assets. Sensors and software cannot replace sound engineering, but they can make equipment behaviour more visible and support better decisions. This edition examines how digital twins, predictive maintenance, automation and artificial intelligence are entering power plants and why their effectiveness ultimately depends on reliable data and clearly defined operational objectives.
