TL;DRAbstract
Following privatisation, National Power, as it was then, had to improve the efficiency and the management systems in its coal fired power stations. Now run by the divested company, Innogy, the company's stations use an Advanced Plant Management System (APMS) based on Verano's Real Time Applications Platform (RTAP). The system, developed in the mid 1990s, has proved invaluable to Innogy in managing its coal fired power plants with greater flexibility and responsiveness, something crucial in a deregulated market. RTAP has allowed the company to integrate diverse control systems across its sites, create a uniform operator interface and a managed engineering interface. It has also been able to create a generic database for the hierarchies of plant, business and support data and manage plant component life and integrity.
