The erection of two CCGT power plants in France has given Electricité de France (EDF) Thermal Division the opportunity to rebuild its Industrial Information System with the OSIsoft PI System as a core component. The SI² Project will provide EDF with a new architecture to collect and centralize all data starting from DCS to specialized acquisition or monitoring systems and will enable communication with EDF’s Corporate Information System. This new architecture is aimed at first being extended into new gas turbine generation assets that are under construction and then into the remaining fossil-fired power plants of EDF in France after 2015, or for the future projects.
