The status quo of informatization construction in the power industry is not optimistic

First of all, China's thermal power is developing rapidly and its main position will continue to be maintained. In the thermal power enterprise management, the status of fuel management is important: On the one hand, thermal power companies are facing greater external competitive pressures, and the price and supply of coal resources in the upper reaches are severe, and a series of power reform measures such as “separation of plant and network, coal price linkage, and online bidding” are implemented. The company has a greater impact; on the other hand, fuel management is critical to the company's internal operations. Fuel costs account for 70% of the total cost of the company and 90% of the total cost of power generation.

At present, the status quo of the informatization construction of power plant fuel management is not optimistic. First, the fuel management system is positioned as an auxiliary management system within the power plant. Moreover, there is no integration of software, hardware, information, and business, and the phenomenon of information islanding still exists. In addition, information on fuel management is in progress. The construction lacks uniform standards and specifications for the industry.

In response to the needs and status of power plants, the fuel-side intelligent management system (CMS) of the power plant needs to be repositioned. Like the combustion system, the soda system, the electrical system, and the control system, it should be affiliated with the main production system, and the safety and power of the fuel. The output is closely related.

From the design perspective, the overall idea of ​​the fuel-side intelligent management system for the power plant is to realize five integrations—integration of regulation, information, process, management, and operation and maintenance. The specific implementation method is institutionalized management, system flow, and Process form, form information and information integration.

Management software to meet the smart age. The development of information technology has far-reaching implications for corporate management. The smart age will lead to changes in all aspects of corporate management: the management thinking will be more open and truly self-optimized; the management model will shift from imperative and procedural to collaborative, open, and proactive. Modes; management methods will be more diverse and virtual management will become possible. The management content will pay more attention to the value analysis, logical decision-making and analysis and judgment ability will be significantly improved; the management technology will pay more attention to the user experience and the socialization characteristics will be more prominent. The management methods will be more diverse. Mobile applications, Internet of Things, remote control technology, communications technology, machine learning, cloud computing, and big data will be widely used.

The intelligent fuel management information market has a vast space with a scale of nearly 10 billion. Thermal power plants are sensitive to fuel costs and there is a real need for intelligent fuel management systems. They are optimistic about the future development of the industry.
