Challenge
- Produce a RTPM system for a complex energy production system
- Need to incorporate a variety of technologies used by EDP over the last decade
- To produce a system that is open, scalable, state of the art and is easy to use by all
- Standardize heterogeneous and scattered data into a unique platform based on open standards and in real time
Solution
- SKIPPER gathers scattered data from the various systems implemented in EDP (e.g. SAP, FoxPro, SQL Server, OSI, Oracle, etc.) and consolidates into the SKIPPER repository through ETL processes.
- Design and develop a SharePoint portal that integrates combined Business Objects reports with Real Time Web Parts
Benefits
- Promote expertise clusters of EDP collaborators monitoring all EDP power plants in a geographical independent way avoiding man power duplication
- Increase the ability to detect in real time malfunctions or non optimized operational conditions
- Put out of service old and dedicated systems with heavy maintenance requirements
- Provide real-time management information from a single and validated source
- Decrease the start-up time of new power plant operational teams and help staff mobility between power plants
