2. CESC – Electricity Generation & Distribution Company
Serving Calcutta & its adjoining areas since 1897.
The electrification of Calcutta took place 17 years
after New York & 11 years after London.
The Calcutta Tramways switched to electricity
from horse drawn carriages in 1902.
CESC now belongs to the youngest & one of the most
vibrant industrial houses – RP - Sanjiv Goenka
Group since 2011.
3. CESC – Electricity Generation & Distribution Company
Licensed Area of 567 sq. km.
Total Generating Capacity : 1225 MW
Peak Demand : 1900 MW
Average Demand : 1600-1700 MW
Total Low Tension Consumer Base : 27.20 Lacs
Total High Tension Consumer Base : 1726
4. CESC’s Experience
Earlier Scenario :
Unstructured and non uniform practices followed in
maintaining records of Asset and their up-keep.
CM & CBM were mostly not supported.
Leading to disproportionately
more
maintenance than planned maintenance .
unplanned
Difficulty in estimating maintenance cost and analyzing
maintenance performance.
Solution : CESC’s Asset Management Software.

CODIFICATION OF ASSETS
An algorithm was formulated to assign an 8 character unique code to all assets
The left most character signifies the Super Category like Power Transformer etc.
The next left most character denotes the Primary Voltage like 220KV etc.
The next five digits from left is a unique serial number
The right most character is used to differentiate amongst assets of same primary
voltage but with different secondary voltage.
Super Category : Power Transformer
Super Category : Distribution Transformer

Asset Searching
ASSET REGISTER
Assets searched using different criteria such as category/location/make/name/Asset No.
All criteria appear on the upper part of left pane of the screen.
General Tab
The list of assets based on the selected searching criteria appears on the right pane.
All the attributes displayed alongside the asset no. with a scrolling facility.
9. DREAMS
Asset Sorting & Filtering
ASSET REGISTER
Sorting of Assets based on the values of any attribute in ascending/descending
order.
Application of Filter on the values of any attribute of Assets.
10. DREAMS
Health Tab
ASSET REGISTER
Indication of health of any asset through color codes based on the last observations from
SM/CM/AO.
‘RED’ -> URGENT
’BLUE’ -> IMPORTANT
11. DREAMS
ASSET REGISTER
Maintenance Tab
Display of schedule for forthcoming maintenance activity (SM/CM/PM) as on date
through color codes based on the periodicity as mentioned in the maintenance Regime.
‘RED’ -> OVERDUE
’BLUE’ -> scheduled within one month.
12. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Status Monitoring (SM)
Monitoring of assets through visual inspection.
Urgent/Important observations posted in the system.
Job Allocation & Attending to the job by O&M engineers.
13. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Condition Monitoring (CM)
Monitoring of assets by measurements through Intrusive & Non-Intrusive activities.
Non-Intrusive CM (e.g. Thermo-graphic Scanning etc.) measurements posted in the system.
Non-Intrusive CM Re-measurement done again.
Intrusive CM measurements (e.g. IR & PI Values etc.) are taken & posted by O&M
departments.
Job Allocation & Attending to the job by O&M engineers.
Non-Intrusive CM
14. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Preventive Maintenance (PM)
The Preventive Maintenance (PM) done by O&M departments as per the schedule
mentioned in the PM Regime.
15. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Maintenance Regime
The SM/CM/PM Regime for different categories of assets are stored in the system.
16. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Queries & Reports
There are a host of queries & reports which caters to the diverse requirements across all
user departments.
17. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Dissolve Gas Analysis (DGA) Dash Board
The results of gases (CH4,C2H2,C2H4 etc.) from oil samples of Power Transformer posted
inside the DGA Dash Board.
Six different interpretation methods such as :- IEC Reference, ROGER’s Ratio, DORNENBERG’s
Ratio, Key Gas Method, Combustible Gas Method, Permissible Concentration Gas Method
used to interpret the health of the transformer.
18. DREAMS
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Dissolve Gas Analysis (DGA) Dash Board
