The Chinese energy market is on the threshold of
deregulation. In order to have the best possible
start into the future, Inner Mongolia Guohua
Zhunge’er Power Generation Co., Ltd was looking
for an integrated IT solution to support plant
management, process information, production
cost forecasts and electricity trading. On the one
hand, the customer attached importance to having
European power plant technology and process
organization, on the other he wanted a local
Chinese partner. At the beginning of 2001,
Guohua placed the order with Siemens PG via
SPPA, the Chinese Siemens subsidiary.
Our Solution
Via SPPA, we supplied the customer with an integrated solution consisting of the following components: the BFS++ Plant Management System with
modules supporting Maintenance, Shift Operation,
Spare Parts Management and Documentation
Management, the Process Information Management, the OPTIpro Process Optimization as well as
Cockpit. The latter integrates all the underlying
systems and provides tools for production cost
forecast and power trading. In order to retrieve
process data, for example for maintenance and
process optimization purposes, a connection to
the I&C (SPPA T-2000) was established as well. To
facilitate the users’ job, the solution came with
Chinese user interfaces and help files. At the end
of 2002, the complete system was handed over to
the customer. Apart from hardware and software
training and customizing were part of the contract.
The customer is completely satisfied. After all his
system at present is the most modern of its kind in
China.
