Identification System for Power Stations

VGB Associates
 Scope of KKS
 KKS serves to identify
 Plants
 Sections of Plants
 Parts of equipment
 According to
 Task
 Type and
 Location
 It is to be used by
 Planning
 Licensing
 Construction and
 O&M
GB KKNPP QA
 Features of KKS
 Uniform identification of all types of power
stations and processes
 Capacity and detail for identification of all
systems
 Interdisciplinary applicability
 Non-language Based
 Application in computer processing

GB KKNPP QA
 KKS do not contain rules on;

 Combination of code with other

identification systems
 Methods of marking (like: in control rooms,
labeling of components and identification
of documents.
 Open text abbreviations
 Identification of redundancies

GB KKNPP QA
 Type of codes

 KKS has three different type of codes

 1.Process-related code.
• Process related identification of systems and items of
equipment according to their functions in mechanical, civil,
electrical, C&I engineering.
 2.Point of installation code
• Identification of points of installation of electrical and control
instrumentation devices in installation units. (cabinets,
panels, consoles etc..)
 3.Location code
• Identification of locations in structure, on floors and in rooms
and also of fire areas and topographical stipulations (surface
area grid).

 General conditions
-Numbering increases towards the flow
direction
-Numbering starts anew, if one of the
preceding code element changes
-Assigned numerical code characters shall
not be changed in the process of designing
-All leading zeros must be written
-Numbering logic can be different for different
part of the project.
 General conditions (contd..)

-Sector 0 is for power unit or common station

installations
-Power unit is coded with numbers starting
from ‘1’
-Common station installations are coded with
‘0’.
 Code writing
 The coding shall have space between sectors
in one, two or three lines,
 e.g.:
• - in one line:
• 1 JND20 AP001 MK01;
• CCA03 GW001;
• UMA10 AB001;
• - in two lines:
• 1 JND20 CCA03 UMA10
AP001 MK01; GW001; AB001
• in three lines: 1 JND 20
AP 001

GB KKNPP QA
If two or three types

of coding should be entered, each

type should be entered in the next line with a prefix index:

=1 JND20 AP001
+ ССА10.ВС12
+ UJA02 R003

GB KKNPP QA
 Reserve codes may be applied upon
agreement with ASE and VGB Technical
committee (Germany):

If code remains unambiguous, sectors of

process related code in the ‘( )’ can be
omitted

GB KKNPP QA
 The code F0 is applied for similar systems or
structures only
For designation of assignment for normal operation
systems and safety trains, Arabic numerals from 0 to 4
in F0 sector of KKS code are used in algorithm of
protections and interlocks

In the numerical code FN Numbering from

00 to 99 are used.

In the numerical code AN is applied for

assigning number to a structure. The biggest
number is 999.
GB KKNPP QA
 During numbering of code group AN code R
shall be always available.
The numbering shall be plotted in Cartesian
coordinates.
For shafts and rooms that includes several
elevations, a three digit group coding is used.

3NN - transport shafts. 7NN – Reactor cavities.

4NN – cable shafts 8NN – process shafts
5NN – staircases 9NN – ventilation shafts
6NN - elevators

GB KKNPP QA
 Additional group of alphabetic code
A3 is used for coding
- Pulse valves
- Pilot operated safety valves and PRDs
- Double drive of an equipment
- Multiple power supply
- Several measuring circuits with one
sensor
- Phases in electrical devices (ABC)
- Further separation of rooms
GB KKNPP QA
 In the numerical code BN Numbering of
equipment parts and signals, from 01 to 99
are used.

Coding of electrical devices is allowed to be

carried out not only as per KKS but in
combination with GOST 2.710-81. In such
case the code characters are divided by “/”
