Power Plant Outage Management Process

Start of the Workflow/Process.

Create a new Outage Event entry in the Outage Data Model to define start/end dates and scope.

Assign a task to the Safety Officer to review and approve the high-risk work permits required for the outage.

Fetch all critical spare parts entries from the Inventory Data Model to verify availability for the outage scope.

Update the Outage Event entry with the confirmed list of contractors and technicians assigned to the period.

Create tasks for technicians to perform physical inspections on turbines, boilers, and auxiliary systems.

Create new entries in the Inspection Findings Data Model for every defect or anomaly discovered during inspection.

Calculate the total estimated cost by summing labor hours and parts cost identified in the inspection findings.

Aggregate all inspection findings to count the total number of critical vs. non-critical defects found.

Create high-priority tasks for the engineering team to address all 'Critical' flagged findings.

Send an automated email to the Plant Manager if the calculated repair cost exceeds the predefined outage budget.

Update the Outage Event entry with the revised completion date based on the repair progress.

Assign tasks to the operations team to run sequence tests and pressure tests before synchronization.

Generate a comprehensive report summarizing all tasks completed, costs incurred, and findings recorded.

Send an SMS notification to the Grid Dispatcher indicating that the plant is ready to reconnect to the grid.

Update the Outage Event status to 'Completed' and archive the event data.

End of the Workflow/Process.
