How AI Is Powering Today’s Power Stations
Nuclear
AI in use:
1) Predictive maintenance on pumps, turbines, and cooling systems.
2) AI-driven robotics for hazardous inspections (reactor core, radiation hotspots).
3) Safety monitoring + anomaly detection.
4) Load forecasting for grid balance.
Whitespace:
1) Workforce accommodation around long refueling outages (thousands of contractors descend on site).
2) Predictive rostering: AI can help match contractor shifts to local housing capacity.
3) Real-time logistics: avoiding traffic bottlenecks when whole shifts change over.
Wind (Onshore & Offshore)
AI in use:
1) Blade/turbine predictive maintenance (gearbox vibration, blade crack detection).
2) AI-enhanced weather + wind prediction.
3) Drones with AI vision for turbine inspections.
Whitespace:
1) Offshore logistics: forecasting not just wind, but crew transfer windows (boats/helicopters).
2) Accommodation clustering: predicting demand surges in coastal towns during maintenance campaigns.
3) Safety/availability matching: AI to allocate rooms based on crew shift + weather window.
Solar
AI in use:
1) AI forecasting generation based on weather + cloud movement.
2) Panel fault detection using drones/thermal imaging.
3) Efficiency optimisation of inverter/energy output.
Whitespace:
1) Remote site workforce planning: accommodation demand for rural areas where solar farms are built.
2) Seasonal demand prediction: AI linking seasonal irradiation to contractor surges.
Gas
AI in use:
1) AI tuning combustion efficiency (adjusting air-fuel ratios in real time).
2) Predictive maintenance for turbines/compressors.
3) Load balancing with renewables (AI forecasts when gas peakers need to fire).
Whitespace:
1) Outage planning: mapping which periods require contractor influx and how local housing stock matches up.
2) AI for travel-time minimisation: placing workers in optimal accommodations given shift patterns and transport constraints.
Oil (Declining but still present)
AI in use:
1) Maintenance optimisation.
2) Safety anomaly detection (especially fire/explosion risk).
3) Trading optimisation in integrated energy companies.
Whitespace:
1) Many oil-fired stations are in decline—GridStay could pitch ESG-friendly “transition logistics”: repositioning accommodation providers as stations decommission.
Hydro
AI in use:
1) Water flow + reservoir level forecasting.
2) Turbine predictive maintenance.
3) Grid balancing for peak demand.
Whitespace:
1) Rural accommodation shortages during dam upgrades.
2) Predictive travel/accommodation demand for seasonal contractor teams (spring/summer works).
Battery Storage
AI in use:
1) AI optimises charge/discharge cycles for price arbitrage.
2) Predictive cell health monitoring.
3) Grid frequency response optimisation.
Whitespace:
1) Still emerging: construction requires contractors in remote substations → AI could forecast accommodation demand based on project timelines.
Hydrogen
AI in use:
1) Early stage—AI mostly in electrolyser optimisation.
2) Safety monitoring in storage/transport.
Whitespace:
1) Construction-phase logistics: predicting surge demand for highly skilled niche contractors. br 2) GridStay could position early as the logistics layer for this entire sector.
Biomass & Waste-to-Energy
AI in use:
1) AI to optimise combustion efficiency (varied feedstock quality).
2) Predictive maintenance on moving grates and boilers.
Whitespace:
1) Rural siting = limited hotel capacity. AI-driven accommodation forecasts tied to feedstock delivery and maintenance windows.
Fusion (Future)
AI in use:
1) AI simulations of plasma confinement.
2) Real-time plasma control experiments (ITER, UKAEA).
Whitespace:
1) Workforce planning still immature. GridStay could establish credibility by linking to R&D sites like Culham.
