Description
In times of scarce resources, it is imperative to operate production plants optimally. Suggestions for optimizing technical processes are often based on mathematical algorithms, which can be difficult for operators to understand due to the complexity of the plants and the algorithmic description. As a result, potential for sustainable operation is squandered, or technologies are even discarded whose optimized operation could lead to considerable short-term savings.
The goal of this junior research group is to make algorithmic decisions transparent and understandable for the operators of technically complex production systems using AI. The approach will be demonstrated using the example of a biorefinery coupled with an energy grid simulator. The transferability and applicability of the approaches are ensured by the participation of various operators and stakeholders from the Saxon economy during the project itself.
