Energie AG Oberösterreich optimizes organization with power plant management system Energy Management Suite Reference Instrumentation, Controls & Electrical SPPA-M3000 Plant Management optimizes organization with a cost-cutting plant management system across several locations. The Result ■ Lower costs due to higher work productivity ■ More availability due to rational maintenance strategies ■ Higher returns due to comprehensive reduction of costs The Company In recent years, Energie AG Oberösterreich has developed from a regional utility company into an internationally active corporation. Today the company operates two coal and 38 hydroelectric power plants, in addition to one of the largest biomass plants in Austria. The plants are spread throughout the entire federal state and currently generate approx. 4000 GWh of electricity per year. The Task Competition is forcing the company to achieve constant or increasing plant availability and even more economic operation with a small number of staff. The planning and performance of maintenance measures, in addition to good documentation, constitute an essential cost factor. The system should be tailored to suit the special requirements of power generation while allowing it to be used at all locations. Our Solution Energie AG Oberösterreich has been working with the SPPA-M3000 Plant Management System, which was specially developed for power plants, for more than 10 years. The system provides information about the key data of all plants at all locations. Special events, such as scheduled and current maintenance measures, are processed employing a workflow. SPPA-M3000, combined with SAP and document management, has become an indispensable tool for day-to-day work. “Plant Management has proven to be most successful. Without the plant management system, efficient work processes would be almost unthinkable in view of our decentralized structures.“ Walter Steiniger, Project Manager Answers for energy.
