Enlighten Wins Outstanding Patent Grand Prize for Solar AI Anomaly Detection Technology

Enlighten has been recognized for its energy technology innovation, receiving the '19th Korea Excellent Patent Grand Prize' for its patented technology, 'Method and Device for Detecting Abnormalities in Solar Power Generation'. This technology is applied to 'Baljeonwang' (Power Plant King), an asset management platform that integrates and manages over 28,800 solar power plants nationwide. It has garnered industry attention by dramatically improving the efficiency and stability of power plant operations. The core of this technology lies in artificial intelligence (AI) precisely predicting power generation and automatically detecting and diagnosing anomalies by comparing this prediction with actual power generation in real-time. Power data collected from power plant inverters and solar radiation information received from satellites serve as the basis for the AI's judgment. When an abnormality is detected, the system automatically identifies the cause, such as inverter failure, solar panel performance degradation, or control device errors. This process simultaneously enhances diagnostic accuracy and problem response speed. Particularly, the utilization of satellite data without separate measurement equipment is a strong advantage of this technology. This provides high scalability, allowing for easy application not only to power plants nationwide but also to overseas facilities. The combination of real-time monitoring and automated diagnostic capabilities significantly reduces power plant operating costs, and it is highly regarded for its excellent practical applicability in the field and its commercialization potential. Based on this unique technological prowess, Enlighten is building an integrated platform that supports the digital optimization of power plant operations. Through 'Baljeonwang' and 'Baljeonwang Biz', its customized service for businesses, Enlighten provides optimized energy asset management solutions to various customer segments, from small and medium-sized power plant operators to large corporations preparing for RE100 implementation, thereby leading the digital transformation of the energy industry. Enlighten CEO Lee Young-ho stated that this award is a testament to the tangible operational improvements achieved in the field, and he pledged to continue focusing on developing technologies that enhance the efficiency and stability of solar power plants and to continuously advance integrated operation management technologies.
