In order to improve work efficiency, National Nuclear Power unified the company's internal design platform and officially launched the construction of a collaborative design platform in March 2008. Led by the Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute, and organized by the headquarters, the National Nuclear Power Institute and the engineering company participated, completed the acceptance at the end of 2012 and was officially put into use.
The platform is positioned to provide a safe, unified and convenient platform for exchange and sharing of design and procurement data within and between national nuclear power units, achieve unified management of design information and engineering data, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of engineering data flow. The "eight modernizations and one management" model has been initially realized, namely, internationalization of platform configuration, design visualization, intelligent query, specialization of design management, standardization of operations, data integration, interface localization, user rights, and relational data management. It has the functions of "four spans and two comprehensive", that is, collaborative design across disciplines, platforms, units, and regions, comprehensively improving the country's nuclear power design capabilities.
During the progress of the project, a large number of configurations and independent development were carried out, including full-life data comparison, inter-island interface management ICM module, Documentum document control platform interface, design management platform interface functional module, system specification schedule generation module and other functional modules. Starting from the actual needs of the entire project, a comprehensive electronic data warehouse has been established to integrate the design data of nuclear islands and conventional islands, and organically integrate the engineering design link with the procurement management link. Open up upstream and downstream to realize data circulation, avoid information silos, transfer the data assets of the project in a unified platform, and achieve collaboration in the design process of developing the third-generation nuclear power plant, thereby laying a solid foundation for the construction of subsequent full-life digital power plants. At present, it has been applied to standard design and follow-up projects CAP1000, national nuclear demonstration project CAP1400, etc., greatly improving the efficiency and quality of data transmission, with outstanding direct and indirect economic benefits.
