Abstract

The coal-fired power plant regularly produces enormous amounts of data from its sensors, control and monitoring systems. The Volume of this data will be increasing due to widely available smart meters, Wi-Fi devices and rapidly developing IT systems. Big data technology gives the opportunity to use such types and volumes of data and could be an adequate solution in the areas, which have been untouched by information technology yet. This paper describes the possibility to use big data technology to improve internal processes on the example of a coal-fired power plant. Review of applying new technologies is made from an internal point of view, drawing from the professional experience of the authors. We are taking a closer look into the power generation process and trying to find areas to develop insights, hopefully enabling us to create more value for the industry.
