Making the right decisions – with confidenceThe SPPA-M3000 Energy Management Suite provides the right information, allowing precise detection and analysis for you to make the right decisions. Simple, standardized and consistent – along the entire workflow.
Answers for energy.
The right information at the right time – for power generation professionalsIn power plants most of the data required for making sound decisions is basically available. However, there is frequently a lack of aggregated and formatted real-time information precisely when it is needed to make the right decisions quickly: production costs based on actual fuel flow, online availability and market trends, early warnings, information regarding necessary maintenance measures and plant availability and so on.
The Energy Management Suite serves to supply this kind of information straight to the relevant workstation – on screen, via SMS, e-mail or through acoustic alarms. The information is incorporated in the specific workflow and adequately prepared. Everyone who receives the information has the opportunity to use it to be quicker, better and more successful. With the information management system for the energy industry, the Energy Management Suite SPPA-M3000, it really is that simple.

Reporting Engineer
“The Suite produces and distributes reports automati-cally. The reports are generated in a consistent, reliable manner on the basis of a defined dataflow with a built-in review process. This new approach is unique and can save us time.”
“The Energy Management Suite does not make decisions for you. However, it can give you extra confidence and ensures consistent implementation after you have made your decision.
It provides real-time information regarding deviations from the operating point or imminent faults, current production costs and system availability at any given time. When combined with your experience as a plant operator, information such as this can give you a decisive advantage in the battle to gain a competitive edge.
We developed the Energy Management Suite, an information management system designed specially for use in power plants, for this very reason. The solution is based upon our decades of experience in constructing and operating

1. The “Early Warning” module provides the diagnostics experts with a fleet-wide overview of all potential problems in specific power plant components.
2. After thoroughly analyzing the cause the diagnostics expert can open a fault report without taking any inter mediate steps in the “Plant Management” module.
3. The maintenance planner can then immediately identify the right pre - de fined measures using the mainte-nance strategy database of the “Plant Management” module in order to resolve the problem.
4. While the execution of the individual measures is accompanied at this point by the maintenance team in the “Plant Management” module, power plant management (e.g. the maintenance manager) readily gets an overview of the status of all measures falling within his area of responsibility in the “Business Performance Monitoring” module.
All the data along a predefined workflowThe Energy Management Suite integrates all the information along the operating processes and replicates the workflows of power generation. It thus replaces the stringing together of the different input and documentation options with a standard tool and makes the information available to all users in a role-based manner, whenever and wherever it is required in the workflow. Here is a typical example:
Proper arrangement of data describing plant conditions transforms it into important infor- mation.
The user-friendly UI enables easy, quick and intui-tive navigation to the information required.
Proper arrange-ment of data describing plant conditions trans-forms it into important infor- mation.
Data from a wide range of different systems (e.g. distributed control, monitoring and ERP systems) are displayed in a standardized form.
SPPA-M3000 can be integrated into the existing IT landscape. If a portal already exists, then it can be hooked in.

The modulesThe Energy Management Suite is an exceptionally versatile system. Starting with a central process database which collects, compresses and processes the information obtained from all power plant subsystems in real time, its modules can be combined and expanded as required. This gives you, as the user, the option of expanding the system in a step-by-step manner. The modules are tailored to one another, complement each other and multiply the quality of the information.
Another feature of the system is its integration capabilities. Existing applications in the power plant can be integrated and there- fore become part of the overall system. The information is output in a role-based manner and each person involved receives the information quickly and in the correct form – at the right time.
