Motivation – Reducing OPEX

4

Source: Lazard estimates

� CAPEX rapidly decreasing

� OPEX in LCOE-view more and more relevant

� O&M largest OPEX position

� Improving efficiency of O&M essential for further

LCOE optimization

� Digitization of O&M processes is the key to

increasing efficiency and minimizing risk

* LCOE = levelized cost of energy

Standardization and digitization are crucial factors for cost-efficient O&M

Meta data and views

� Meta data for lifecycle record, information sets and any kind of information

− Identification of information

− Management of relationships between information

− Content information like summary, creator and so on

� Views help to annotate information

− Based on “languages” ofspecific roles

− Individual entry point into PLR

− Specific collection of meta data per view

− Expandable by lifecycle record specifications

Different views allow the slicing of information for relevant stakeholders
