Phu My Thermal Power effectively applies information technology to production

Phu My Thermal Power Company was established on February 15, 1977 with 4 gas turbine power plants. Every year, the Company provides the national electricity system with more than 16 billion kWh, accounting for about 26% of the southern electricity output and about 11% of the electricity output of the entire electricity system. Recently, the Company implemented the application of information technology in production and business activities.

The Company’s activities are computerized in connection with the Group’s software, with the purpose of serving management and administration activities of leaders such as E-Office 3.0; DN ERP resource management, IMIS construction investment management, PMIS technical management, etc to self-deploying applications such as management software for maintenance and repair of Phu My Power Plant, situation management hot air supplies of units – MAXIMO; software for inventorying materials by mobile devices;etc.

For a production unit, the recording of operating parameters is a very important job, so the Company has started to apply IT from this stage. The electronic operating diary has the function of recording, evaluating operating parameters, recording operating records, this replaces manual writing on paper files, which is useful for quick information searching. Thanks to the IT application, the Board of Directors controlled the authenticity of the recording and evaluation of parameters, recording the operating logs of employees. The software is synchronized with the PMIS program so there is no need to spend time importing data on many different software, this also significantly reduces the time for operators.

Previously, the operators had operating books, recorded the operations and happenings, the status of machines during the shift until the equipment was handed over and signed for delivery. Manual logging and manual data sheets make it difficult for shift heads and plant managers to control information. At the same time, storing hard tables when looking for information takes a lot of time to review and difficult to make statistics as a basis for building a series of forecast data about equipment. From the actual deployment and use of electronic operating diary software, it has shown significant effects. Digitized operation logs help to look up information quickly; control the authenticity of recording and evaluating operating parameters. The software has a warning function when the operator enters the parameter in excess of the limit (alarm, trip, range) so it helps detect equipment abnormalities or errors in parameter writing; strengthening remote inspection, surveillance and management capabilities; Log data and operational parameters are centrally managed and support to export form templates so it’s easy to print, store, and report.

Electronic operating diary software built on the Android operating system, installed on the operator’s tablets, has the function of identifying devices via RFID tags to help operators access tables. Write parameters to enter and save parameters to the recording table quickly. The data after being entered by the operators will be temporarily saved to the tablet’s memory, then synchronized to the server via the data synchronization web service. This web service is installed on the server, used to synchronize data from the tablet to the server and vice versa. An electronic diary management website allows operators to enter operation log data; Aggregate, search, statistic and print operation log reports, equipment parameter record sheets, making it easy to track, process and improve operating efficiency.

With 20 years of experience in management and operation; The company is constantly growing, making a positive contribution to the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country. From the achieved results, along with the motto of innovation, the fastest access to the achievements of science and technology for application in production and business Phu My Thermal Power Company is expected to continue to thrive. stronger in the era of industrial revolution 4.0.
