BHEL projects can now be monitored online

Our Bureau

New Delhi, April 23 In a bid to streamline the monitoring of power project schedules to be completed during the Eleventh Plan period, the implementation of a new Web-based project monitoring system covering State-owned equipment major Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd’s projects has been kicked-off.

Equipment supplied by BHEL is slated to account for between 50-60 per cent of the total generation capacity of over 78,000 MW envisaged during the Eleventh Plan period.

“This new monitoring system would enable us to get a real-time, concurrent status on project schedules and thereby facilitate collaboration and identification of delays for timely intervention. We are trying to get the system in place by August 15,” the Minister of State for Power and Commerce, Mr Jairam Ramesh, said. Philadelphia-based Primavera Systems Inc — one of the world’s leading provider of project, program and portfolio management software solutions — has been roped in for implementing the project.

Connectivity

The system would enable connectivity to project sites through its monitoring software residing on a centrally located server, thereby enabling collation of information on manufacturing supplies status from BHEL’s units, construction status from project sites, material clearance status and resources allocations at sites.

Mr Ramesh also said that a report of how information technology can be used to transform power management, firmed up by a panel headed by Mr Nandan Nilekani four years ago, would be looked at afresh.
