Other Industry Initiatives - Harmonization

EPRI Plant Information Model (PIM) is part of this Initiative

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

• Benchmarking• 9 Operating Nuclear Plants• 2 New Build Nuclear Plants• 3 International New Build Utilities• 3 Large High-Tech Data-Centric Non Power

Industries• 4 Solution Providers• National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST)

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Approach

• Validate the costs to build a data centric model with different end states based on industry best practices

• Use benchmarking to define the opportunity for savings and validate against other industry studies and experience

• Create a Probabilistic Investment Model and validate results

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Approach (cont.)

• Prepare Use Cases based on different plant current states and desired end states

• Independent Expert Panel that provides input on the model and challenges the assumptions.

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Approach (cont.)

• Decisions are made on data, not documents. Data must be centralized, accurate, change controlled, and easily accessible.

• A “data-centric” CM system will provide a variety of plant activities with reliable, controlled data – the “single source of truth”.

• Need to define the cost of installing and maintaining a data-centric system from different starting points.

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery

• Need to define both the “hard” and “soft” savings that a data-centric system has on the cost of operating and maintaining the plant.

• The model accounts for the benefit of data accessibility used by Engineering, Licensing, Procurement, Operations, and Maintenance.

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

• Potential End States – Each State Builds on the Prior State

1. Electronic Document Centralization2. Documents -Tags Cross Referenced3. Data Centralization4. Relationship Model 5. 2D/3D Model Integration with data model6. 2D/3D Model Authoring Tool Integration

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

1. Electronic Document Centralization Master Document List (MDL) – “Critical

Documents” in electronic format; all documents indexed in a centralized document control system

2. Documents -Tags Cross Referenced Expand Master Equipment List (MEL) to include

other tag types (piping components, cable #s, weld #s, relays, etc.)

Cross Reference Tags to Critical Documents

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

3) Data Centralization Centralize siloed databases with the MEL

Database “Mine” and validate other mission critical data

contained in documents

4) Relationship Model Major Transition requiring moving from a

“Tabular” data structure to an Object-Relationship data structure

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

4) Relationship Model (cont.) Major Transition requiring moving from a

“Tabular” data structure to an Object-Relationship data structure Benefit:

Ability to build a lifecycle data model that relates licensing requirements to design to procurement to installation to O&M.

Ability to perform lifecycle impact reviews if anything is changed in the relationship “Chain”

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

4) Relationship Model (cont.) Major Transition requiring moving from a

“Tabular” data structure to an Object-Relationship data structure The Relationships build Knowledge into the data

structure by relating:Licensing Requirements to Design DocumentsDocument Design Outputs to Document Design

InputsDesign Requirements to Asset Tests and

Inspections

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

5) 2D/3D Model Integration Identify areas to be modeled and maintained Create ability to view models Hot Spot Tags for accessibility to data model

6) 2D/3D Model Authoring Tool Integration Ability to conduct engineering design and

analysis from the models and update data

Data-Centric CM and Asset Information Management Initiative

Discovery (cont.)

• SHARE and LEARN the WHAT, HOW and WHY • Facility Configuration Information (FCI)

Management and Handover and/or Turnover during Major Projects• Handover is the transfer of “approved-for-use”

information from an Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) or Consortium entity to the Owner/Operator for use in pre-operational readiness activities.

• Turnover is the official transfer of “as-built” and final information from an EPC or Consortium entity to the Owner/Operator for use in the operation and maintenance of the operating unit.

Knowledge & Sharing

• SHARE and LEARN the WHAT, HOW and WHY • Information sets that are or would be part of

Multi-dimensional Data Models and MEL databases, as well as traditional drawings, documents and records to help move the industry from a purely document-centric FCI model to a hybrid data-centric / document-centric approach.

Knowledge & Sharing (cont.)

• Owner Operator Questions• What have been your key successes (processes,

procedures, strategies, automation) with respect to Handover and/or Turnover information exchange in support of Startup, Operations and Maintenance?

• In recent major projects, how did you get information delivered to you and when was it delivered?

• What would you change for future projects to improve information exchange?

Knowledge & Sharing (cont.)

• EPC, NSSS or Vendor Questions• What have been your key successes (processes,

procedures, strategies, automation) with respect to vendor and contractor Handover and/or Turnover information exchange in support of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction?

• In recent major projects, how did you deliver information to the owner and when was it delivered?

• What would you change for future projects to improve information exchange?
