The PRISM package helps the plant manages to improve problem-solving skills with available graphical and excel tools. They can effectively prioritize their decisions with reduced extra work at greater accuracy.
The PRISM package helps the plant operators and supporting staff to have greater data visibility, provides reliable reports at lesser time and efforts.

PRISM Enterprise package can combine multiple power plantâ € ™ s information at single platform for headquarter or for the top management to have an integrated view, analysis, reporting and problem solving across multiple power plants.

3) TIS ( Trip Investigation System) : Solution designed to improve the plant availability. It consists of three subsystems viz. TAS, OMS and CPV.

For every plant maintaining plant availability is highly important. Also altering the power generation capacity needs to be handled smoothly.

Any unexpected plant trip results in huge cost because of loss of power generation, penalty and start-up cost. The actions such as accurate & quick root-cause analysis, precise corrective action at minimum down time can reduce this cost.

Putting efforts towards preventing a failure can greatly improve plant availability. Effective plant monitoring facilitates to acknowledge and recognize the abnormalities at early stage. Following this can prevent the equipment failure.

TAS ( Trip-logic Analysis System) : TAS helps to quickly identify the cause of a Trip.
In normal practice when a trip occurs in order to find root-cause of trip, one need to analyze SOE logs & alarm logs, analyze control logic & protection Logic, prepare report manually and maintain it for the records. All these steps utilize an important factor; the Time and efforts with complex procedures by technical experts.

TAS does above functions within 1 second at greater accuracy. It locates the tag/ signal of the plant which had initiated the failure. The DCS protection logic is implanted in TAS server. During normal operation it runs simultaneously with DCS. When a trip occurs, it immediately back-traces the failure logic path based on DCS logic and time-stamping of signals. That way it accurately and quickly provides the cause signal for the trip and saves cost because of downtime.

TAS helps Operators and O& M team to
 § Find out the root-cause signal for the trip instantly
 § Helps for Accurate, Quick & Automatic trip analysis
 § Effectively take corrective action to affected areas
 § Get rid of analysing SOEs, event logs, manual analysis
 § Enables to Save time and taking Effective decisions

OMS( Operation-margin Monitoring System) : OMS is designed for integrated plant monitoring and early recognition of faults in real-time operations.
In the normal operation of the plant large number of devices, components & equipment needs to be monitored from multiple control system and operator stations. The operator becomes aware of any abnormality only after an alarm is generated. Identification of failure/ trip related events & time remaining to failure/ trip is hard to figure out and solve.

To solve the said problems, the OMS can be used for plant monitoring where all plant systems and sub-systems can be monitored on a single chart. In OMS all important signals can be monitored in full range, and provides timely information about the abnormality even when no alarm is generated at operator station.

This system helps to acknowledge process vulnerability much earlier and keeps you informed so that timely action could be taken and failure/ trip can be avoided which results in improved uptime of equipments and greater availability of the plant.

OMS can help the Operations team to
 § Monitor Operating status of complete plant equipments at a glance
 § Early Recognize important alarms and events
 § Facilitate operator to identify anomaly earlier and take proactive action
 § Centralized and Integrated plant monitoring

CPV ( Critical Parameters Varification) : CPV is designed for Smooth plant Start-up without Fail. While restarting the plant in different modes like hot/ cold/ warm start-up, it is essential to check many important parameters prior to start-up as well as the progressive change during startup for those parameters. CPV is programmed to understand the start-up phase and provides complete information about critical parameters till the plant operates at full load.

CPV helps Operators to
 § Critical Parameters Verification during plant Start-up
 § Notifies if anomaly exists or developing
 § Ensures smooth start-up without fail

Overall using TIS solution has helped to improve the plantâ € ™ s Availability as well as ease of operations and improved safety of plant assets.

4) PHI ( Plant Health Index) : Solution for plant health status monitoring with advanced fault prediction diagnostics. Applies condition based monitoring approach for prediction of faults and facilitates proactive measures for maintenance.

Reducing maintenance cost, higher equipment reliability and availability are some of major objectives for the operations & maintenance department. We have designed PHI to meet this O& M objectives and for continuous improvements.

The traditional maintenance method employs reactive maintenance, where corrective action is taken after occurrence of a failure. Preventive maintenance is a scheduled time-bound maintenance, irrespective of whether maintenance of equipment is required or not. In some cases malfunctioning may arise because of improper preventive maintenance. A Team of dedicated maintenance experts are required to find out and prevent potential failures at every plant. All over it accounts high maintenance expenses; still some unexpected failure happens in the plant.

PHI employs Condition based monitoring ( CBM) approach towards predictive maintenance and calculating health status of plant equipments. This approach is competitive because it does not require installation of any additional sensor or new equipment.

PHI works on predictive maintenance approach. Here the maintenance requirement is predicted and accordingly preventive actions are taken.
It works in two modes viz. Training mode and Execution mode. During Training mode, PHI is trained to learn various patterns of normal condition of plant equipments for normal operation. PHI uses statistical models to identify these patterns of normal conditions for every process and equipment in consideration with deviations due to environmental factors, process changes, altering generation capacity and sensor failure etc.. This process trains PHI to understand which conditions are normal and which conditions are abnormal. In the Execution mode PHI checks the real-time plant data and generates expected normal condition status of signals. The expected normal condition signal status should match with the real-time plant signal status. If there is any deviation between these two signals found it alerts the operator regarding this abnormality.

Since PHI considers so many factors and utilizes statistical models to find out the expected normal plant status, which makes it capable to identify any process anomalies, equipment degradation, malfunctioning and abnormalities well in advance compared to real-time monitoring system. This information becomes very useful for the operations & maintenance team to know where they should do maintenance in order to prevent a failure and stop the vulnerability since its inception. PHI also calculates the health status and represents in % value. So the higher health status index ensures safe operation and superior operation of the plant.

The effective use of predictive maintenance can save huge expenses for maintenance, repairs and replacement cost of equipments in the plant also it results in reduced frequency of maintenance and contribute to reducing human errors. At the same time it offers an intelligence system, which accumulates knowledge from years of learning and experience about the plant operations & maintenance. This intelligent system is utilized to make reliable and accurate maintenance planning and prediction of faults and abnormalities in the plant.

PHI Benefits:
 § Helps to Prevent Failure with Proactive corrective action
 § Facilitates to Avoid failure & maintain Healthiness
 § Reduced Expensive downtime, results in Increased Profit
 § Reduced O& M expenses, results in Increased Profit

Ultimately PHI improves safety, equipment reliability and saves time & resources for maintenance.
