How AVEVA is enabling a leading Chinese power
industry EPC to support its countrys economic growth
Chinas rocketing economic growth has left its energy supply struggling to keep pace. Between 2008 and
2011, in the midst of a global slowdown, Anhui provinces regional economy grew by an extraordinary 12.9%,
making the expansion of its energy infrastructure an urgent priority. North China Power Engineering Co.
Ltd of China Power Engineering Consulting Group (NCPE) was called in to execute the second phase of
expanding the regions Anqing coal-fired generating plant to 2-Gigawatt capacity.

Osnabrck-based Ingenieurbro
Schlattner uses AVEVA Bocad
Steel for an offshore wind farm
Another 40 tripods are destined for installation during the next
phase of construction. Over an area of 56 km2, 80 wind turbines
will eventually generate a total of 400 MW of power without
emitting a single tonne of CO2. At the time of writing, the first
phase of construction has been completed and the wind farm
is already delivering 200 MW, supplying 200,000 households
with electricity. By the final phase of construction the Owner
Operator, Trianel Windkraftwerk Borkum GmbH & Co. KG,
expects to have made an investment of EUR 1.6 billion. After all,
the wind in the North Sea is something you can count on; with
no obstacles such as mountains or buildings, it blows at speeds
of around ten metres per second.
Complex inner workings
The harsh environmental conditions mean that the foundations
of the turbine must withstand extreme loads. The 40 tripodstyle steel foundations, weighing 36,000 tonnes (around
three-and-a-half times the weight of the Eiffel Tower), are now
embedded in the sea floor. A single tripod is 30 metres tall, of
which only a couple of metres are visible above the surface.
Together with a central tube mounted on top, the complete
structure stands 50 metres tall.
10

power to the transformer platform. Image courtesy of Ingenieurbro Schlattner.
11
The concrete pumping pipes are designed to be dualredundant in order to be able to switch to the adjacent
pipe in case of a blockage. Like swimming-pool slides,
these pipes wind sinuously in and along the tripod.
When the turbines are in service, the electrical energy
must be transmitted from the point of generation at the
rotor, through the superstructure and the tripod to the
transformer platform. 12-centimetre-thick power cables
connect the wind farm with the platform and then on to
the mainland. Power cable routing also calls for skilled
design, since any kinks or tight curves could cause
problems.
In addition to these main components, a great many
ladders, platforms, flanges, braces, openings, welds
and profile sections had to be created. Altogether, Marit
had to plan, administer and document 3,244 individual
design elements for each tripod variation. Once I had
designed the first tripod, I was able to import and reuse the
component and design data for subsequent modifications,
she explained. For instance, if I had to change the
orientation of a power cable outlet, AVEVA Bocad
automatically adapted the surrounding architecture. The
amount of repetition between the tripod variations was
relatively high, but connection points, fasteners and line
orientations did change. AVEVA Bocad Steel generated the
part lists for every variation on demand and exported the
lists as Excel files.
For our customers, it was important to be able to regularly
review intermediate design data, such as the overall
weight of the tripod or the total length of pipelines. The
construction of a wind farm involves a considerable
amount of logistics, so they had to be able to charter
appropriate construction cranes and ships in good time.
It only took a couple of mouse clicks for me to obtain all
the necessary information and for the system to output it,
continued Marit, describing the exchange of information
between the companies.

Integrated Information
Management for Power Projects
How AVEVA NET is enabling efficient data management for the construction,
operation and maintenance of one of Koreas most advanced thermal power plants
Koreas energy demands, post-industrialisation, have rocketed since the 1980s and the
country remains a major energy importer; as a result, energy supply continues to be
high on the political agenda. Accordingly, its power sector is almost entirely controlled
by the state. The South Korean government owns a 51% share in the Korea Electric
Power Corporation (KEPCO) which is responsible for 93% of the countrys electricity
generation. Korea Southern Power Co. Ltd. (KOSPO), a subsidiary of KEPCO, is one of
the countrys biggest domestic power providers.
KOSPO is today responsible for ten facilities in the country which, with a total generating
capacity of 9,240 MW, provide about 11.2% of South Koreas energy. At the 2013
AVEVA World Summit, Mr HeeJong Kim, a senior manager in charge of the deployment
of KOSPOs Integrated Construction Management System (ICMS) for power plant
construction projects gave a presentation on KOSPOs use of AVEVA NET. We spoke to
him afterwards to learn more about the system and the future projects it will facilitate.
About the project
KOSPO has plans for six diverse new power facilities, including wind, combined-cycle
and coal power. Of the six projects, the USD $3bn, 57-month Samcheok Thermal Power
Project is the first, and by far the largest. The overarching strategy is the provision of
Koreas grid with a constant, stable supply of electricity by increasing capacity and
developing a diversified energy basket. Samcheok, for example, will be able to burn
coal of different grades, thereby effectively avoiding potential supply-chain issues in the
future. The innovative coal-fired plant will be located in the north-east of South Korea,
and will occupy 2.5 million square metres of reclaimed coastal land.

As an integrated
Information Management
system, AVEVA NET Portal
was appealing to KOSPO
for its cost-effectiveness,
simple installation and
easy-to-use interface...
Choosing AVEVA software
On a project of this size, a large number of EPCs are involved,
generating a huge quantity of data that it is vital for KOSPO
to manage effectively. The company required a centralised
Information Management solution that could handle large
volumes of data from any source, and could also provide the
ability to clearly visualise this information. Throughout a power
plants life cycle, about 80% of its technical information comes
from EPCs; seamless data management will enable KOSPO to
use this information effectively to operate and maintain the
plant to maximise its life span.
POMIT (www.pomit.co.kr), a system developer and provider of
plant IT solutions, is a trusted business partner of KOSPO and
they were asked to suggest a solution. Already a successful
customer of AVEVA, having used both AVEVA PDMS and
AVEVA NET since 2009, POMIT recommended AVEVA NET
Portal and subsequently played a key role in installing it.

What is surprising to those not aware of this regional characteristic is that UPEC rose to
its current pre-eminence in only 11 years. AVEVA technology has played a key role in this
achievement, so we met with Mr Arkadiy A. Egorov, UPECs General Director, to learn
more. UPECs history shows that a professional approach and a clear vision of ones
goals can achieve extraordinary results in a very short period of time, he explained. The
companys philosophy has always been one of continual progression, so in this respect
we have very much in common with AVEVA.
Challenges and opportunities
The company was set up with the aim of being the most modern and innovative of its
type, so the need for both advanced technologies and best-practice working methods
was obvious. From the outset, UPEC developed a very successful internal quality
management system, which is still in use today. For Russian design enterprises, the
1990s were tough times, continued Mr Egorov, and we saw many fundamental changes
in the markets and in the challenges and opportunities that emerged. We could see
then that technology would be key to our future, so in 2008 we began our successful
collaboration with AVEVA, with our first seats of AVEVA PDMS.
Pavel V. Glukhovtsev, Head of the IT department at UPEC, takes up the story. Our first
PDMS project was for the production of design documentation for the new compressor
station at the 410 MW GRES Power Plant at Sredneuralskaya. This was a pilot project,
during which we upgraded from PDMS 11.6 to 12.0. It involved all project disciplines and
was accomplished within eight months.
Olga E. Gerulaytis, Head of the CAD department, added, One of the key requirements
that we needed AVEVA to demonstrate during the pilot project was the ability to connect
objects with all their associated data. For instance, we could associate the P&ID with the
3D model in PDMS and run fully automatic consistency checks. The system enabled us to
eliminate even the slightest risk of clashes and errors.

data. Image courtesy of UPEC.

Early success
Success followed success. The next project, on a greater
scale, was the expansion of the Surgut-2 power station with
a combined-cycle gas turbine and steam turbine unit. This
was particularly challenging, as the engineering team had
to design and analyse a number of alternative approaches
to increasing the plants generating capacity. Once the best
approach had been selected,UPECs specialists developed full
project documentation, both for the main building and for all
of the infrastructure. On completion, this project had increased
Surgut-2s generating capacity to 5,600 MW.
Extending capabilities
As UPEC rapidly became skilled in the use of PDMS, further
AVEVA applications were implemented. AVEVA Review had
already been implemented alongside PDMS, followed in 2010
by AVEVA Diagrams, AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator and
AVEVA Cable Design. AVEVA NET was added in May 2011,
adding advanced Information Management to a powerful
suite of Engineering & Design tools. Training was provided by
AVEVAs Moscow team, and UPEC today has over 80 trained
AVEVA users.
With strong demand for plant upgrades, UPEC soon realised
that accurately capturing the as-built state would save

modernisation project. Photograph courtesy of OKG.
O3 modernisation project
The O3 plant is due to be modernised in June 2014. One of
the key aspects of this modernisation will be the replacement
of the electrical cabling that passes through the concrete
containment walls and connects to equipment inside the
containment area. The modernisation includes, not only the
cables themselves, but also the penetration assemblies that
fit into the wall. These penetration assemblies are important
to the overall safety of the reactor as they must prevent
radiation and radioactive materials from passing through the
penetrations in the wall in any emergency situation.
Conventional design and installation of cables and electrical
components would take between 120 and 150 days, causing
a long outage and significant loss in production. When similar
modernisation programmes were performed for the O1 and O2
plants a few years ago, OKG succeeded in reducing the outage
to 80 days by partially prefabricating the electric cables and
connectors.
Based on their experiences from the O1 and O2 projects,
E.ON IT and OKG have found areas which could enable the
installation to be achieved even more efficiently. OKGs goal for
the O3 project is now to further reduce the outage to 58 days.
Planning for the O3 project started in 2012, and OKG expects
nearly 300 electrical fitters to be working in parallel in the
containment areas at peak times.
The extent of prefabrication will be even greater than for
the equivalent O1 and O2 projects. All electrical cables and
connectors will be prefabricated externally, similar to the way
in which they are made in modern automobile manufacturing
processes. This offers an opportunity to cut on-site work,
which will considerably reduce outage time. The cables will
be prefabricated at both ends, with their connectors, and
pretested in a radiation-free area, so that it will be possible to
install the whole cabling system in a single step. The quality
and accuracy required is very high, with the tolerance in cable
lengths to within a few centimetres. In total there are 36
penetrations for the electrical cables and 1,800 cables with a
total length of 30,000 metres.

A successful relationship
EDF has had a long and mutually successful relationship
with AVEVA since 1978, during which time a series of joint
developments have provided the company with a highly
optimised engineering and design software suite. Some of the
applications within the AVEVA portfolio originated from these
joint projects, and the enhanced security within AVEVA Global
is a result of one of the development partnerships involving
EDF and AVEVA. AVEVA Global has been in production use on
the Hinkley Point C project since April 2012. It has considerably
improved collaboration with EDFs subcontractors, who can
perform their design work from remote locations, whilst EDF
maintains control of quality and progress. As a result of such
close technical collaboration, AVEVA engineers have a deep
understanding of EDFs technology requirements.
Other areas of development partnership have been typically
related to the size, scale and scope of projects in the nuclear
industry. Developments in PDMS data structures, data
management, 3D design, concrete and structural engineering,
and multi-site design are just some of the areas in which EDF
has been involved.
Energy projects with AVEVA products
Among many prestigious energy projects, AVEVA products
were used to design EDFs 1300 and 1450 MW N4 series of
nuclear power stations, and they are also employed in the N4
reactor maintenance projects. AVEVA products were also used
for the design of the first French EPR, FA3 in Flamanville, which
started in 2006. A third 1600 MW pressurised water reactor is
planned for 2016.

Fortums new CHP waste-to-power plant in Klaipeda, Lithuania,
fuelled by municipal and industrial waste and biomass, will
produce approximately 60 MW of district heating and 20 MW of
electricity. The plant will start operating at full capacity by the
first quarter of 2013.
Fs services in this huge EPCM project include feasibility
studies, pre-engineering, detailed design work, purchase
of all equipment, project and site management, and finally
commissioning and supervision. F-Consult Oy in Finland has
overall charge of the implementation of the whole project.
In this project, AF-Engineering is responsible for the detailed
design work, and for creating the complete 3D PDMS model
including structural, piping with all equipment, cable trays and
HVAC facilities. The turbine and the waste and biofuel boiler
were delivered as 3D models and were easily imported into
the plant model. Fabrication information, such as pipe layout
drawings, material lists and reports and isometric drawings, is
automatically extracted from the 3D model.

A Jewel
in the
Crown
How AVEVA technology supports Indias power industry
Formed only as recently as 1964, Bharat
Heavy Electrical Ltd (BHEL) is an integrated
power plant equipment manufacturer
which has today established itself as
one of Indias Navratnas or Nine Jewels
and is likely to be Maharatna soon, one
of the countrys largest Public Sector
Undertakings (PSUs).
But its success transcends even its national
importance; it is the worlds twelfth-largest
manufacturer of power equipment and in
2011 was ranked by US business magazine,
Forbes, as the ninth most innovative
company in the world.
Not surprisingly, BHEL has been a user of AVEVA software for around
15 years, although not in all of its operating divisions. In 2008, BHEL
Haridwar made the decision to follow the lead of some of its sister
divisions and upgrade to AVEVA PDMS. Mr A.B. Gupta, AGM, BHEL
Haridwar, explained the background.
We had been using a variety of Engineering & Design applications,
including AutoCAD, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics NX and Solidworks,
he explained. We had looked at the AVEVA implementations used
elsewhere in the group and recognised that we needed a similar single,
integratable solution for piping layouts that was optimised for plant
engineering and would be a platform for our future development.
Other BHEL divisions had already adopted AVEVA and therefore
Haridwar also decided to adopt AVEVA so that there is a total plant
integration of BHEL on the same platform. AVEVAs solution was
extensively benchmarked on representative tasks, said Mr A.B. Gupta.
We chose AVEVA for two reasons. First, PDMS was clearly a scalable
platform for long-term business growth; its important that we can build
up a future-proof asset of reusable design work. Second and equally
important was AVEVAs excellent delivery model and impressive
customer support. Colleagues in other divisions had told me of this and
AVEVA more than met our expectations.
Deployment went smoothly. The local AVEVA team provided on-site
training and support. Today, BHEL Haridwar has more than 25 trained
PDMS users. Early success was achieved using PDMS on the Yermarus
800 MW power plant project.
We were very satisfied with our performance on the Yermarus project,
explained Mr Himanshu Gupta, Engineer, BHEL Haridwar. PDMS enabled
us to create orthographic drawings and Bills of Materials direct from the
3D model, so we knew they were accurate and complete. In addition,
we also generated around 300 construction/fabrication drawings. The
design fully met the clients requirement for a 3D model, right down to
all the small-bore pipe runs, with zero clashes.
32
AVEVA expands in
fast-growing India
India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the
world. With rapid economic reforms and a constant
large influx of foreign capital, India has shown great
agility in the last couple of decades. According to a
2011 report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Indias
GDP at purchasing power parity could overtake that of
the United States by 2050.

The three Andasol power plants are the first parabolic trough
power plants in Europe and, in terms of collector surface, they
constitute the worlds largest solar power plant.
Flagsol, a subsidiary of the Solar Millennium Group, has its
headquarters in Cologne, Germany. The company is, among
other things, responsible for the engineering of the solar array,
the core element of the power plant. This consists of many
parallel rows of solar collectors, arranged in a north/south
direction, tracking the solar curve from east to west.
Ever since 2007, Flagsol has been using AVEVA PDMS, a 3D
design system, to dimension and design the solar array. Before
that, the solar experts relied on a CAD tool, which was close to
the limit of its capabilities.
The Andasol parabolic trough power plants, located in the province of Granada in southern Spain, will generate an output of 50MW each, supporting 600,000 people.

A parabolic trough solar collector unit is 12 metres long and weighs around
2.5 tons. More than 7000 collectors are installed at the Andasol 3 plant.

35
A consistent approach
PDMS has no limits in terms of project size or complexity.
PDMS is very attractive to us, as all the data is in one single
location, a large common database, Daniel Mllenborn
explains. Various interfaces are provided for analysis systems,
design systems and third-party design applications. Many data
exchange formats are supported, including DXF, DGN, SDNF
and CSV. In the light of international project work, the standard
interface, STEP, is becoming increasingly important.
All drawings are generated directly from the PDMS database.
Labels and dimension labels in the drawings are also generated
straight from the database, to ensure that the documents
match the design. When re-generating drawings, the latest
design changes are automatically taken into consideration.
Thanks to the automatic highlighting function, any
modifications to earlier design versions are easily identified.
Daniel Mllenborn is particularly impressed with the reliability
of PDMS. He says, It is obvious that someone thought it
through before they started programming. Unusually, the
system uses its own programming language, which offers a
clear benefit in day-to-day operations. Every action suggested
by PDMS is highly transparent and comprehensible, states
Daniel Mllenborn. He goes on to mention another benefit,
The software can therefore be very easily customised to suit
my requirements, so we enjoy maximum flexibility.
Safe cable routing
Since spring 2010, Flagsol has been using the Cable Design
tool, which was only developed recently. Its use offers
significant benefits. Where cable routings used to be designed
manually based on drawings, the optimal routing is now
suggested by Cable Design. The software takes into account
the ambient conditions and the type of cable, for example,
power or signal cable. A positive additional benefit is that,
where the cable lengths required were previously estimated
and therefore generously dimensioned, today, just the right
length can be identified right from the start. This leads to a
significant reduction in waste.

36
Perspective
Flagsol, now using several PDMS
licences, is very pleased with the
solution from AVEVA. The good
thing about PDMS is that AVEVA is
truly committed to safeguarding their
customers investment. If new elements
are required, they will be provided in
new modules, adds Daniel Mllenborn.
An example is the Stairs and Ladders
module used to design platforms, stairs,
staircases, ladders and similar elements.
The modules feature a modern user
interface, yet integrate seamlessly with
PDMS.

Turnkey plants
One example of a turnkey CHP plant designed using PDMS is
the Rya CHP plant for Gteborg Energi in Gothenburg, Sweden,
which now produces around 30% of the citys electric power and
district heating.
At this plant, three 45 MW industrial gas turbines are each
connected to a supplementary-fired heat recovery steam
generator (HRSG). These three boilers feed a 137 MW steam
turbine, and two district heating condensers, connected after
the steam turbine exhaust, supply hot water to the citys district
heating system. SIT designed and delivered the whole plant,
including manufacturing the turbines in SITs workshops in
Finspng.

SIT is expanding
World population is growing, and more people are moving
to the cities. This results in increasing energy use and an
unprecedented growth in the global demand for energy. Thanks
to a very high level of activity and several new projects, SIT
continues to expand and will be hiring a significant number of
new staff over the next three years.
Increased use of AVEVA Global
When subcontractors are engaged in a project, AVEVA Global,
a solution for multi-site concurrent working, has enabled SITs
engineers to successfully share the 3D model and the design
information with the engineers at the subcontractors sites. SIT
expects the use of AVEVA Global to increase for future projects
involving more subcontractors.
Big savings expected from PDMS 12 and the AVEVA Mechanical
Equipment Interface
The detailed designs of the specialist equipment used in a
power plant, (e.g. the turbines), are typically carried out using
a mechanical CAD system. However, 3D representations of
this equipment, including the spatial geometry and connection
points, also need to be available in PDMS for the teams carrying
out the layout and detail design of the plant.

Building
on a Solid
Foundation
for Russian
Power
Projects
By the early 2000s, the economy in Russia
had started to grow rapidly, resulting in a huge
demand for electrical power. To meet this, the
power industry had to dramatically increase
production. UralTEP, a company which provides
design, project management and engineering
services to the Russian power industry, realised
that, in order to achieve a considerable increase
in production, they needed to move from their
existing 2D design system to a 3D solution for
planning, design and construction.

Increasing productivity
While this standardisation improved design efficiency
and working practices, Pyry realised that PDMSs ease
of customisation would provide further opportunities for
increased engineering productivity. It also enables Pyry to use
a common component catalogue across all projects, and easily
manage it across multiple sites.
About Pyry
Founded in 1958, Pyry is a global consulting and engineering
company, based in Vantaa, Finland. It has grown organically
and through strategic mergers and is, today, a public company,
employing 7,000 people in over 50 offices across the world.
AVEVAs solution
outperformed its
competitors, both in
technical performance and
in the extent to which it
was already widely used
among Pyrys customers.
As a result, PDMS is Pyrys
preferred choice for 3D plant
engineering. Whenever client
demand allows, the company
is phasing out the use of
other 3D CAD applications in
favour of PDMS...
