• The Safety Supervision Department is responsible for safety supervision, labor protection, and production safety performance management.
• The Operations Department manages the operation of main and auxiliary equipment, including desulfurization, ash removal, and fuel-related systems.
• The Maintenance Department is in charge of equipment maintenance and repair.
• The Fuel Department manages fuel equipment operations, maintenance, and fuel sampling.
• For new power plants, the establishment of these organizations should align with the project's progress.

Staffing

• Staffing is based on "one position, multiple responsibilities, all-round operation" to ensure efficiency. Dynamic staffing management is used, adjusting with technological advancements and equipment upgrades.
• Positions are classified into A (primary) and B (auxiliary) categories. A positions must be staffed with China Huaneng employees. B positions can use market-based labor, per regulations.

Staffing Standards

• Monitoring of steam turbines, boilers, and generator main/auxiliary equipment.
• The staffing for operation positions is based on a rotating five-shift system.
• Considerations:
  • Adjustment for different unit sizes (e.g., additional patrol staff for larger units).
  • Additional staff for separate network control rooms.
  • Additional staff for local monitoring of water source and circulation pumps outside the main plant.
  • Additional staff for independent operation of heat supply stations outside the main plant.
  • Setting up thermal testing labs and staffing requirements.
  • Manning for tailwater power stations and CO2 capture systems.

Desulfurization (Denitrification) Operation Staffing

• Desulfurization/denitrification equipment monitoring, inspection, and record-keeping.
• Generally, desulfurization/denitrification control is integrated into the main control room. Additional operators are assigned for separate control rooms.

Ash Removal, Dust Removal, and Slag Removal Operation Staffing

• Monitoring of ash removal, dust removal, and slag removal equipment.

Chemistry Operation Staffing

• Monitoring of water production, hydrogen production, sewage (oil) treatment, and circulating water treatment equipment.

Fuel Operation Staffing

• Monitoring the fuel system regarding coal unloading, coal loading, field scheduling, and coal blending.
• Fuel sampling, incoming coal sampling.

Overhaul and Maintenance Staffing

• Task categories include daily maintenance, C-level repairs, and A-level repairs.
• Assignment is determined by the maintenance tasks undertaken, ranging from routine inspections to comprehensive maintenance.

Additional Staffing Considerations

• Power plants typically use the standard workload to calculate maintenance personnel.
• Consider factors such as the presence of a Hua Neng maintenance company.
• Consideration for non-mainstream systems and unique equipment.
• Additional staff is given to plants with more generating capacity, reheating units, or air-cooled equipment.
• Additional staff for environmental facility upgrades.

Management Positions

• Staffing standards for management positions in power plants are set based on unit size. The standards dictate the number of personnel in various departments and leadership roles.

General Workforce Management

• Employees should have excellent skills and training.
• It is important to assign appropriate responsibilities to employees.
• Strict adherence to established staffing limits is crucial.
• Any outsourcing should be a temporary measure until staffing needs can be met internally.
