In electricity generation environments of power plants, efficient monitoring and control are essential for maintaining optimal production levels and ensuring smooth operation. In the past, monitoring was done using outdated forms and manual spreadsheets, a state that led to errors and inefficiencies. This manual approach often resulted in deviations and long fault detection times, leading to significant financial losses for the plants.
GIV Solutions’ solution to these challenges is an advanced station operational screen for operators, with direct interface with control systems like PI or SCADA, which has brought a significant and dramatic change in managing production data and operational performance of our customers.
The GIV Solutions station operational screen displays real-time production data of power units, directly against the production plans that operators are required to meet, which are set and loaded through an interface by the management. By providing an immediate and accurate overview of current production levels, operators can make informed decisions and adjust to meet their goals.
One of the prominent features of this screen is its ability to efficiently monitor deviations in power and highlight these lines. In such cases, SMS alerts are sent to supervisors. This proactive approach allows for rapid action, reduction in downtime, and overall productivity improvement whenever a deviation occurs. Operators can report the reason directly on the screen, aiding in operational investigation and analysis. This feature ensures that all deviations are documented and addressed, helping to improve processes and prevent recurring issues.
In the event of a failure in one of the critical units, the interface provides an automatic mechanism for opening tickets, significantly shortening response times. This functionality enables immediate transfer of work to maintenance departments, ensuring quick and efficient problem resolution, thereby reducing downtime and saving significant costs.
In addition to real-time data, the screen generates regular control reports displayed to operators and updated in real-time, as well as performance metrics for management, offering important insights into unit availability and efficiency.
With the innovative operational screen, our customers achieve more accurate data, faster response times, and improved overall performance. The solution makes power plants more efficient and cost-effective and leads them to the energy market’s future.
