Data-Centric CM and Asset Information
Management Initiative
EPRI Plant Information Model (PIM)
is part of this Initiative
Data-Centric CM and Asset Information
Management Initiative Approach
•
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 (cont.)
•
•
•
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 Discovery
•
•
•
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 (cont.)
•
•
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.

Potential End States – Each State Builds on the Prior State
1. Electronic Document Centralization
2. Documents -Tags Cross Referenced
3. Data Centralization
4. Relationship Model
5. 2D/3D Model Integration with data model
6. 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

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”

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 Documents
Document Design Outputs to Document Design
Inputs
Design 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
Knowledge & Sharing
•
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 preoperational 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 (cont.)
•
SHARE and LEARN the WHAT, HOW and WHY
• Information sets that are or would be part of Multidimensional 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?
