  • What is AI Collaboration Project?

    The AI collaboration project aims to solve various issues of members with AI and share know-how in development among the participating members.

    In this 2nd round, four teams were formed, each consisting of a Data Provider and Application Developer, tackling each "Use Case." A Data Provider is an IERE member who has a problem to solve and literally provides a large amount of data related to the problem, and an Application Developer is a member who develops an AI program to solve the problem.

    Data Use Cases Application Developers Data Providers
    Object detection of pole mounted switches Chubu EPCO Chugoku EPCO
    T&D image object detection use cases CLPRI EPRI
    Predictive maintenance and health monitoring of underground cable CRIEPI Karachi Electric
    Load forecasting of feeder NARI Karachi Electric

    E.ON was leader. CLP was co-leader, and the project (2nd Round) started in July 2022. It continued until the participating-member-exclusive online meeting to share the results was held in October 2023. This webinar will present some of the results reported at that meeting.
