Low dissemination and use of modern IT solutions across power plants,
     while complexity and requirements are continuously growing

    EDF Nuclear fleet :
          • From now up to 2020, almost of the existing 58 plants (+ 1 or 2 EPR) still in operation.
          • Target for life expectancy over 50 years

    For all the fleet :
          • Growing expectations and requirement : safety, environment, communication and
            reputation
          • Continuous increasing complexity of the processes and the constraints
          • Human Reliability stakes, linked to changes in workforce : ageing workforce,
            retirements, needs for knowledge capture and transfer, different expectation and
            culture of new hires « MSN generation », increasing needs for training, attractiveness
            of jobs,…
    One of the identified ways of improvement
          • More use of modern IT solutions within the plants
    But
          • Numerous barriers that hindered their deployment : safety requirements,
            standardization of the plants, size of the fleet, usability of new technologies, …

    Smart applications to support operation and diagnosis
         • Smart co-pilot for some focused operations (b. eg. help to follow temp. gradient after refueling)
         • Shared dashboard with process monitoring KPI
         • Anticipated diagnosis from process data harvesting :search and retrieval capabilities, anticipation of
           failures through datamining and prediction models
    Smart help for field operations :
         • Priority focused on padlocking and lining-up for outage
         • Integrated solution to invent :
           prepare > load on PDA > simplify and secure (RFID, barcodes) > visualize (control room, OCC, ..)
    Wireless solution, RFID and suitable mobile terminals and local networks
         • design an optimized WiFi + network adaptation solution, EMI compliant, cost effective : best coverage
           with minimum extra wires

           antennas...)
    New solutions for outage management :
         • audio& video monitoring, share real time information (dashboards) , …
         • for innovatives organization solutions(outage c. center, radiation c.center, one stop shop, …)
    3D solutions for outage management and maintenance/logistics preparation
         • Under deployment : Global outage preparation (packing), Detailed simulation on specific maintenance
           operations
         • Next priority : 3D / pictures / video bases for logistics preparation and maintenance pre-job briefing

Smart co-pilot for some focused operations

By example: help to follow temperature gradient after refueling

• An « intelligent Co-pilot » that proposes:
   • An optimal operation strategy
   • A vision of future potential risks : i.e. risk of cold
   • The tasks to perform
   • Training just before an operation (no need of process data)
