Tiivistelmä
An increasing demand for carbon-neutral energy and the recent changes in the global energy market have made energy production, consumption, and price highly important for the global economy and individual consumers. Optimization of energy production is essential since both consumption and price vary. Hydropower production can be maximized for rush hours, which guarantees the availability of energy, maximizes the profit for plant operators, and also reduces peak-hour customer prices. The web application developed in this project collects various sensor data from power plant in Vietnam and produces live dashboards which support data-driven decision-making of plant operations. Results indicate that the system reduces the number of working hours needed to run the operations and improves the revenue of the plant corporation. It also serves as a transparent way to keep stakeholders informed about the current status of the plant.
