Kyushu Electric Power advances thermal power security with 5G / Recognizes with AI of entry vehicle, drone monitoring around port
In the event of a disaster, autonomous driving robots guide vehicles within the premises, reducing the burden on power station personnel.
◆ Base function in the event of a disaster
Kyushu Electric Power Co., Ltd. will promote the implementation of smart security at its own thermal power plants by combining local 5G (5th generation mobile communication system), drones, autonomous driving robots, etc. A certain amount of results were achieved in demonstrations using the Reihoku Power Plant (Reihoku Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, coal, 1.4 million kilowatts) as a model. Aim for horizontal expansion. First of all, we want to accumulate knowledge in the Kyushu region, and in the future we would like to expand it widely to the facilities of other electric power companies.
