Streamlining Nuclear Plant Operations
Through Real-Time Data Access

The Customer

And Their Challenge

The South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) manages the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, one of the newest and largest nuclear power plants in the United States. STPNOC operates the facility on behalf of multiple ownership groups, ensuring efficient and reliable energy production. As part of its responsibilities, STPNOC must provide accurate, real-time operational updates and future production forecasts to its ownership partners to help them optimize decision-making and revenue generation.

STPNOC’s existing process for delivering this information was highly manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors. The labor-intensive reporting relied on paper documentation and human input, creating inefficiencies and risks of inaccurate or delayed information. With limited real-time visibility into plant operations and forecasts, the ownership groups faced potential financial losses and missed optimization opportunities. To address these challenges, STPNOC needed an automated, web-based system capable of providing secure, real-time updates and operational insights.

The Solution

To meet STPNOC’s needs, i3solutions designed and implemented a comprehensive Executive Dashboard solution. This web-based platform delivers real-time updates on critical plant status, daily power production, emergent notifications, and 7-day forecasts. The dashboard replaces the manual reporting process with automated data collection and dissemination, providing the ownership groups with instant access to mission-critical information. Selected users can securely access the dashboard through a sign-on process, ensuring data integrity and secure information sharing.

The dashboard also includes automated alerts and notifications, including notifications for emergent situations, enabling immediate responses to critical events. Additionally, it offers remote access, allowing ownership partners to view operational updates and forecasts from any location, 24/7. By integrating real-time data feeds and system-generated reports, the solution reduces human error, improves accuracy, and eliminates reliance on manual paperwork. The result is a streamlined and efficient process that maximizes operational visibility and financial outcomes.
