  • Publication number: 20240112105
    Abstract: A work request interface receives work request data for a power generation system. The work request data includes a work request having data characterizing equipment of the power generation system and a first state of the equipment. The work request interface processes the work request to modify at least one field in the work request to provide a standardized work request. The standardized work request includes data characterizing operations needed to change a state of the equipment from the first state to a second state. A work order generator receives the standardized work request and determines a priority of the standardized work request. The work order generator determines a mode of operation of the power generation system needed to change the state of the equipment from the first state to the second state and generates a set of work orders for the work request.
