Hitachi

Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd.

Digitization is underway in many businesses including the nuclear power business. We are working to improve reliability through the enhancement of equipment reliability, digitization of monitoring and diagnosing services, and improvement of operators’ skills, among other initiatives.
Here are some of the ongoing initiatives.

Remote monitoring and diagnosing of pumps

We provide technologies that enable operators to remotely monitor and diagnose pumps installed at nuclear power plants.

Equipment degradation monitoring model

We provide an algorithm that analyzes operation parameter-based degradation according to process control data and equipment models.
Based on that analysis, we provide a degradation diagnosing service with respect to equipment that implements the monitoring of degradation through inspection and measurement data.

Use of risk information and sharing of maintenance programs

We increase the stability of nuclear power plants by leveraging synergy effects using risk information and implementation of maintenance programs.

*
Core Damage Frequency (CDF): Number or expected number of occurrences of reactor core damage accidents per unit time or plant
*
Condition Based Maintenance (CBM): A system that monitors and diagnoses the status of machines during operation of nuclear power plants and performs maintenance and service accordingly.

Education and training for operators

The efficiency of on-site operations has been declining mainly due to aging operators and a lack of experience.
There is an urgent need to improve efficiency through the education and training of field operators and preparation of operation manuals, among other initiatives.
We are working to establish the education and training system that integrates these needs .
Initially, we facilitate these initiatives within the Hitachi Group.
Subsequently, we collaborate with electric power companies and share the education and training system and other initiatives.
