KKS Introduction 1. What is KKS? KKS = short-form of German word for Identification System for Power Plants 2.

Why is KKS system adopted? - It provides a common language and understanding about the nomenclature for different locations, buildings, equipment and connections in the power plant. - The system provides a unique identification for these components of the power plant. It prevents Mistakes. - The use of KKS has provided the basis for implementation of vastly different systems, like Documentation for operation and maintenance of the plant/equipment, TXP for function plans, Maximo for maintenance management and Eclipse for Work Permit System Where is the system applicable? - Process related systems (pumps, vessels, valves, piping, etc.) - Instrumentation and Control Functions (Indicators, Transmitters, PLC signals, Function Plans, etc.) - Geometrical/geographical Locations (Plants, Buildings, Rooms, Remote Pump-house, etc.) What is the KKS code made of? - It is an alpha-numeric code, which means that it is made up of letters(A) and numbers(N) Which are the breakdown levels in KKS codes? There are four breakdown levels in process related identification Process-related identification Total plant System Code (Function Code)
Equipment Code Component Code

Level-0 : Total Plant : This identifies separate entities within a power plant. For example, a 0 at this level indicates equipment which is common to whole plant. While, 1 indicates part of a specific unit (1/2/3/4). Level-1: Function : The starting number identifies a specific entity among similar sections of the plant. For example, 11 for GT11, 12 for GT12, etc. Again, a 0 indicates a common equipment. The alphabets indicate specific functional groups and sub-groups. The numbers identify series of similar functions. Level-2 : Equipment : mechanical equipment, instruments, control loops, etc. Level-3 : Component : In C&I, this is used for identifying signals

There are three breakdown levels in location identification

Which are the main groups for System Code? - Main groups are identified by a Function Key, which is also the first letter in the System Code - Following table describes some keys
