SONGS History
SONGS (San Onofre Nuclear Generation
Station)
Southern California Edison
Located in San Clemente, Southern California
Pressurized water reactors with commission
dates listed
Unit 1: Jan 1, 1968 – decommissioned in 1992
Twin Reactor Unit 2: August 8, 1983
Twin Reactor Unit 3: April 1, 1984San Onofre
SONGS Nuclear Station Site
SONGS Nuclear Summary
Two twin reactor units - in commission
Southern California’s largest and most
reliable sources of electricity
Jointly owned by SCE, San Diego Gas &
Electric, and the city of Riverside
The units can generate almost 2,400
megawatts of power, enough to meet the
needs of nearly 1.5 million average homes
SONGS Complex Environment
STO
Outages are the preferred term for STO
Frequency is once every 18 months
Involves entire regular plant staff
Contractor staff is 1,000+ during outage
Typical planned duration has been 60 - 90 days
P6 Project Model contains 20,000+ activities
Outage planning is an ongoing effort year ‘round
Integrated Planning and STO
Integrated Asset Planning: A holistic approach to planning and scheduling
that centralizes all asset-impacting work activities from all sources into a single integrated plan.
Technical Overview
Software Systems
SAP implementation started three years ago
Current SONGS SAP version is ECC 6
Prior system was a custom in-house client/server system
Implemented SAP PM for asset management
Pipeline Maxavera (SAP PM <-> Primavera P6 integration)
Primavera P6 for scheduling (release 7 SP 1)
SONGS Business Groups
Business Groups
Outage Management team (Outage Control Center)
Operations team
Maintenance team
Scheduling team
Contractors
And many other Support Groups
Approach
Solution
Maxavera integration solution from Pipeline Software
Integrated planning approach
Preferred a packaged solution approach
High performance for data volumes
Support for key systems - SAP and Primavera
Scenario templates for outages, online maintenance, and
capital
SONGS Scenario Sample
SONGS example for data fields and round trip process
Scenario #1: SAP PM – Primavera P6
Scenario #2: Primavera P6 – SAP PM
Work Orders updated to Primavera
Scenario - Planner Sends SAP Work Orders to Primavera for scheduling and resource assignment
SAP PM PRIMAVERA
Operations Activities - Schedule Data - Durations, Dates - Effort - Planned Work, Remaining Work - Work Center - Resource Assignment - Relations - Relationships - Confirmations - Actual Work / Time
Sub-Operations Resource Assignments - Work Center - Resource - Schedule Data - Durations, Dates
Work Centers Resources - Descriptions - Descriptions - Capacities - Calendar & Availability
P6 Schedule Data updated to SAP
Scenario - Scheduler schedules activities and resources with dates in Primavera and sends back to SAP
Sub-Operations Resource Assignments - Duration - Duration - Work Center - Resource - Number of Capacities - Planned Units Per Time
Operations Activities - Early Start - Planned Start Date - Early Finish - Planned Finish Date - Work Center - Resource - Number of Capacities - Planned Units Per Time
SAP PM PRIMAVERA
Integrated Planning
Delivery Process
Structured methodology to each rollout from Pipeline-
positive, predictable results
Pipeline onsite solution blueprint workshop
Offsite configuration by Pipeline
Close coordination between SONGS and Pipeline teams
Shared testing activities before go-live
Work Clearances
Work Clearances integration
Integrated Asset Planning encompasses additional systems
such as work clearances, safety, and permitting
Maxavera was used to establish unique integration for SAP
Work Clearances module with Primavera P6
Work Efficiency
Work Efficiency Component (SAP WEC) integration
SAP WEC is used for nuclear companies and contains
outage data fields, outages codes, regulatory fields, and OMs
(outage mode codes)
Maxavera was used to established unique integration for
SAP WEC module with Primavera
Integrated Planning
Integrated asset planning can save time, money, and resources during STOs
High performance processing
Automate data transfers
Establish common processes
Reduce (or eliminate) manual data steps
Reduce (or eliminate) double data entry
Integrated Planning
Business process improvements that customers can use to provide accurate forecasting across the corporation
Reduce (or eliminate) data quality mistakes and errors
Better align planning team to establish the approved work
with scheduling team
Leverage key systems such as SAP as system of record
Reduce miscommunications
Integrated Planning
Best practices for improving resource utilization during routine and STO work types
Comprehensive project view with integrated data
Composite view including work, costs, and detailed
schedules
Reduce un-needed meetings, calls, emails, etc.
Better data enables better decisions
Summary
Key Take-Aways
Outage performance can be improved and risks reduced with
an integrated asset planning approach
SAP PM – Primavera P6 integration can be delivered well,
using the right partner, Pipeline Software
Save time and effort by using a packaged system for
planning and scheduling integration
