    Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has offered remote monitoring services for thermal power plants as digital solutions since 1999. As the efficient operation of power plants is becoming ever more important, in 2007 MHPS achieved advanced plant operation by improving availability using an anomaly detection system. As another milestone in the digital solutions journey, in March 2017 "MHPS-TOMONI®" was launched, and the operational data of operating power plants around the world is being analyzed to promote the development of applications that can address customer business challenges. This paper gives an insightful introduction of MHPS-TOMONI®, a digital solution developed by MHPS that is being applied to actual power plants in the field.
