Application of Real-time Database System in Plant Production Management Monitoring Information System of Power Plant

In recent years, the electricity market has been in tight supply, and power shortages and power cuts have occurred from time to time throughout the country. The reason for this is mainly that the supply of electric coal resources is in short supply, and coal prices are also rising, which directly leads to an increase in the cost of electricity generation. In this way, reducing power generation costs has become a major issue for power plants. In order to reduce costs, power plants need to adopt more advanced production management methods in order to increase production efficiency by optimizing production and reducing coal consumption. Under such circumstances, the supervisory information system (SIS) of the power plant at the plant level has been promoted at a relatively fast rate and has become an effective way to improve the management level of the power plant.

SIS and ESP-iSYS

SIS-power plant plant level production management monitoring information system is a set of power plant production processes involved in the production of power plants to better achieve the safety and economic operation of power generation companies, enhance the overall benefits of the company and the competitive advantages in future bidding for access to the Internet. Based on various control, monitoring and measurement systems, it integrates real-time data acquisition, processing, display and storage into a complete solution. The SIS system is an information system based on an open and real-time process information database oriented to the production process. This system stores and analyzes tens of thousands of data in the production process, providing control and decision-making for operating personnel and production managers. The basis and guidance. SIS provides real and important real-time real-time data for power companies to safely and stably generate electricity, control corporate costs, and increase productivity. At the same time, it can efficiently and accurately preserve large amounts of precious historical data produced by enterprises. Together with the scientific and effective data mining tools based on ESP-iSYS, accurate and professional calculation and analysis models have become a powerful guarantee for enterprise safety and economic operation. The plant-level monitoring information system (SIS) of the thermal power plant was put forward at the end of 1997 and was incorporated into the “Technical Specification for the Design of Thermal Power Plants” in 2000. On this basis, the "Technical Conditions for Plant-level Monitoring Information System of Thermal Power Plant" was formed in 2004.
