The Power Generation industry has experienced a significant amount of change in recent years. There has been a high level or reorganisation and acquisition. This has resulted in a lot of rationalisation with many large organisations.
Many companies now have a very large, diverse fleet of assets that include Coal, Gas, Nuclear, Hydro, Wind Farms etc.
These different asset types can be very different, both in terms of generation capacity and operational processes.
It is important, from the corporate level, to understand the diverse fleet operations in order to ensure performance and capabilities are maximised across the entire fleet.
In order to achieve this there must be a good quality Station Reporting system in place. Reporting at Station level is not a simple task. Any system employed must work at two levels; allowing individual stations to record, manage and control their operation whilst providing the correct level of detail centrally at a corporate level.
Opralog is an ideal solution for Station Reports. Its flexibility allows individual locations to implement operations logs that are very tuned to their individual requirements (for example, a single control room controlling many small hydro plants will have very different requirements from a large Coal fired station with multiple control rooms). At the same time, Opralog has the flexibility to allow information to be collated and reported at any level within the organisation; allowing station reports to be produced by drawing out the appropriate information from each station.
Opralog's capabilities, combined with Infotechnics' business intelligence expertise, ensure you can lift the lid on asset status and performance and have the confidence that you truly understand how the entire fleet is operating.
