ExaWizards Inc. group company Exa Frontier Edge has rebuilt and verified Chugoku Electric Power’s hydroelectric power generation planning operations system using AI-driven development. Based on specifications generated by AI, it rebuilt the verification system with a cloud-native configuration and confirmed matching operation with the current system in approximately 2 months. The approach has also been applied ahead of schedule to improvements to the current system.
Exa Frontier Edge is conducting advance verification of the redevelopment of Chugoku Electric Power’s hydroelectric power generation planning operations system through AI-driven development. The initiative uses the Living Spec Generation Service, which analyzes the current system’s specifications with AI and generates highly accurate specifications, to rebuild a verification system with equivalent functionality to the current system using a cloud-native technology stack.
Insights gained while preparing the specifications have also been applied ahead of schedule to the maintenance and improvement of the current system, with the aim of creating value without waiting for the system renewal to be completed. Verification was conducted using a new configuration, including an architectural review and containerization, rather than being limited to migrating the current code.
The pass criterion was functional equivalence with the current system. Automated tests using the same data confirmed matching calculation results and report outputs. Within the short period of approximately 2 months, the verification system was confirmed to operate in the same manner as the current system.
Going forward, the company will strengthen the Living Spec Generation Service and expand support for automating maintenance based on specifications and for phased system renewal. It will continue working to use AI-driven development as an organizational capability.
