The Data Science team of Fraunhofer IESE supported Siemens Gas and Power in making their current approach to optimizing power plant controls in terms of availability, efficiency, flexibility, and emission values more flexible and economically attractive through data-based components. To this end, methods and processes were identified and presented that make it possible to extract new insights from the data that go beyond existing knowledge, or that are impossible to obtain with conventional data analysis methods. Fraunhofer IESE was able to show how state-of-the-art technologies can be leveraged for the quality assurance, visualization, descriptive analysis, and exploratory investigation of data regarding new in-sights, in order to improve process operation even more through continuous optimizing interventions.
