Introduction - Content

• Business Challenges faced

• Our integrated solution

– PI Server & Complementary Systems

– PI System Tools & Business Intelligence

• Benefits accrued

Business Challenge

• Multiple OEMs • Multiple Substation SCADAs • External data sources

• Offices & Sites in 4 continents • Reduce time spent

– Reporting – Finding problems – Performing Analysis

• Usability and Scalability • Integrate with

– MS Office, MS Sharepoint, – Maintenance Management System – Energy Analysis Systems

Multiple Data Sources

Dispersed Sites & Staff

Integration, Long-term Architecture

Business Challenge – Multiple Data Sources

• OPC XML DA Siemens, Enercon

• OPC DA Goldwind, Siemens Solar

• Modbus EMSNI, ION meters

• DNP3 SEL RTAC, ZIV

• SQL Post date prices, OEM data tables

• HTML Forecast wind and pricing

Business Challenge – Dispersed Sites & Staff

• Offices in 4 continents

– Potential for fragmented approach to systems and reports

– Potential for duplication of analysis work (lack of sharing)

• Wind Farms in 4 continents

– Remote locations, poor broadband/comms, unmanned sites

– Data storage at site not a practical option

Business Challenge – Integration

• Potential for fragmented approach to data storage in different markets

– Risks of “Single Living Expert” for each site

• Risk of incompatible systems

– No link between O&M carried out and data

– Confusion and time losses switching between systems

The solution – OSIsoft PI System & Complementary Systems

• OSIsoft PI System as central data server – Integrates with all of data sources/protocols – Integrates with external systems

• Energy Analysis (EAG) • Maintenance Management System (RGC) • MS Sharepoint

– Excellent online resources and training – “Off the shelf” software systems – Asset Framework acts as Asset Register and “link point” for

data & documents.

PI System Components Used

• Asset Framework (AF) – Asset register, PI System data, MS Sharepoint document hyperlinks, Asset Work Order history on RGC web portal hyperlinks – Element Structure replicated in RGC – Data queried by EAG

• Visuals – PI Coresight and PI WebParts • Reporting – PI DataLink • Analysis – Event Frames, ACE, PI DataLink • Alerts – Notifications

– Trigger Work Orders in RGC – Reference PI Coresight and PI WebParts links

Integration

Standardisation

Asset Framework – The central link

• “Single Version of the Truth” for asset register

– All Assets are accounted for here

– Unique Identifier codes (built with RDSPP Standard & MRP Project Codes)

– Replicated in Maintenance Management System (RGC) and Energy Analysis (EAG)

AF – B.I. – Making data available everywhere

• “Master” database in Asset Framework

• RGC Replicate AF structure using PI OLEDB Enterprise

• EAG query data based on AF attributes

• MS Sharepoint links to documents, photos,

• PI Coresight & PI WebParts links

AF – B.I. – Making data available everywhere

• “Master” database in Asset Framework

• RGC Replicate AF Structure using PI OLEDB Enterprise

• AF Attributes provide Metadata – Code – Drawings – Photos – Manufacturer – Serial Number – Lat/Longitude

Reporting – PI DataLink

• Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annual reports generated automatically in excel and exported to pdf

• Additional data required (costs, budget) stored in Asset Framework tables

PI DataLink – B.I. – Energy & Revenue Availability

• Not enough to monitor time based availability – energy and revenue availability must be monitored to maximise returns

– Energy Production varies hour by hour

– Variable prices in certain markets

• Calculate Energy lost during turbine downtime

– Use to calculate Energy Availability

• (Actual Energy/Energy which could have been produced)

– Use hourly prices to calculate Revenue Availability

• (Actual Revenue/Revenue which could have been earned)

– Use these facts when dealing with OEMs to better plan maintenance

PI DataLink – B.I. – Analysis Tools

• Dedicated Excel Tools for performance analysis

• Flexible, “pick your site, pick your turbine”

• Filtering of data

– High/low winds

– Seasonal

– Directional

PI Clients – PI WebParts

• Visualisations in PI WebParts, leveraging MS Sharepoint Platform

Treeview for navigation

Custom designed visuals

Timerange for historical data

Table for data viewing

PI Clients – PI Coresight

• Visualisations in PI Coresight, published externally through pi.mainstreamrp.com

• Mobile devices and tablets to view data on the move

PI Clients – B.I. - PI Coresight

• Forecast Prices and Wind Speeds imported

• “Revenue Forecast” for day

– Better plan maintenance and outages

Notifications

• Periodic (6 hourly) updates from all sites to relevant staff.

• Triggered alerts for turbine faults/warnings

• Triggered alerts for Asset Analytics

• Maintenance Management System (RGC) Integration – email sent to system inbox, auto generates Work Order

Notifications – B.I. – Work Order Integration

• PI WebParts links included in Notifications

– Ad hoc trend containing triggered data tags

– Link to PI WebParts S.P. site for Wind Farm

– Link to PI Coresight S.P. site for Wind Farm

Notifications – B.I. – Work Order Attachments

• Web portal allows for staff and contractors to upload documentation to attach to Work Orders

– Safety Documents

– Photos

– Reports

• Saves these to Site MS SharePoint Directory

• Also note any spare parts used

Notifications – B.I. – Work Order Integration

Asset Framework attributes used to hyperlink to RGC web portal for maintenance history of each Element/Asset

Business Challenge

• Multiple OEMs • Multiple Substation SCADAs • External data sources

• Offices & Sites in 4 continents • Reduce time spent

– Reporting – Finding problems – Performing Analysis

• Usability and Scalability • Integrate with

– MS Office, MS SharePoint, – Maintenance Management System – Energy Analysis Systems

PI System takes in all data

PI DataLink Reports ACE & AF find problems Notifications triggers Work

Orders in RGC

Fully scalable – plan for >1GW Q4 2017

Fully integrated with EAG, RGC and MS SharePoint

Systems Integration • PI ODBC integration with EAG

– Operational data for post construction analysis

• PI OLEDB integration with RGC

– Asset Register replicates Asset Framework

– individual asset codes

• Notifications integration with RGC

– Work Order creation from faults, AF and ACE Analysis.

– Linking of PI WebParts and PI Coresight in emails

• MS SharePoint integration

– AF Attribute links to Asset Drawings, O&M Manuals

– PI WebParts
