ISO 37160:2020 pdf free downoad – Smart community infrastructure一 Electric power infrastructure一 Measurement methods for the quality of thermal power infrastructure and requirements for plant operations and management.
This document describes methods for measuring the quality of thermal power infrastructure (QTPI) during the operational phase as well as the requirements for operations and management activities for the purpose of maintaining and improving the QTPI in the medium and long term in order to realize the objectives of the 3E+S (energy security, environmental conservation, economic efficiency, safety) energy policy. The 3E+S energy policy is a framework established to ensure QTPI during its operational phase.
Considering the importance of a sufficient and stable electric power supply to the economy, standard of living and day-to-day needs, electric power shortages or frequent power outages are serious risks to society. Maintaining and improving the QTPI is an important concern for all regions, particularly for regions in the process of rapid economic growth. A sufficient and stable electric power supply can be achieved by establishing thermal power infrastructure as planned and operating this effectively throughout its life cycle.
Reducing the environmental impacts associated with thermal power infrastructure, such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is a global issue and reduction of the impacts is a goal of this document. Minimizing the impacts needs to take into account the social costs of the environmental impact, the costs required for environmental protection measures and the effectiveness of these measures.
From these viewpoints, it is expected that efforts to maintain and improve the QTPI by applying appropriate operations and management will make society more sustainable. This document is intended to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals outlined by the United Nations, specifically goal 7 (affordable and clean energy), goal 11 (sustainable cities and communities), goal 13 (climate action), goal 14 (life below water) and goal 15 (life on land).
The power plant operator shall:
a) determine what needs to be monitored and measured;
b) determine the appropriate frequency of measurement;
c) determine the methods for monitoring and measurement;
d) adopt appropriate devices or systems for monitoring and measurement;
e) assign responsibility for monitoring and measurement to appropriate personnel.
When determining what needs to be monitored and measured, consideration shall be given to operational and maintenance requirements and the need to provide information to stakeholders.
The measurement accuracies required shall be considered when determining measurement methods.
A device or system utilized for monitoring or measurement shall have adequate capability.
5.3 Data control
The power plant operator shall, as applicable:
a) implement automated recording and accumulation of operational data in a general purpose format;
NOTE 1 The data that need to be automatically recorded in a general purpose format are typically process data resulting from real-time measurements of the equipment. Other operating and maintenance data can be in the form most appropriate for the power plant operator.
b) accumulate and store data for a period consistent with applicable retention requirements and stakeholder needs;
c) make accumulated data suitably accessible to ensure timely analysis;
d) adequately protect data from loss, improper access or improper use. This includes adequate
cybersecurity control measures where applicable.
