IT Initiatives in HPGCL

Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP):. Under ERP all Technical, Financial & Commercial activities of HPGCL will be integrated. The implementation of ERP will bring Standardization of processes, Transparency in organisation, real-time availability of data and better & quick decision making apart from reduction in losses in power plant ultimately reduction in cost of generation. ERP enables interaction with specialist for O & M of equipments.

Generation Control Centre (GCC): A centralized Generation Control Centre is being set up at corporate office Panchkula which will be used to display real time monitoring of power plant operational data through mimic diagrams and make available requisite reports for monitoring of key operating parameters & performance efficiency calculations for generating Units of HPGCL. The setting up of GCC will also help us in finding the route cause analysis of trippings.

CCTV Surveillance System has been installed across all HPGCL Power Plant control rooms in order to watch the real time activities for monitoring purpose.
