Abstract: A research project is ongoing at Électricite de France (EDF) to provide advanced aids for plant operation and maintenance, trying to bridge the gap of plant knowledge between its designing and operation.This paper presents the basic concept to merge multiple sources of data on the same 2D CAD drawings for power plant operation. Also introduced are the software tools thus far developed and tested to apply for plant workers to conduct on prejob briefing by using process data and tagout / line-up data on 2D drawings. The development and application of the tools has been rapidly advancing with the cooperation between EDF R&D team and plant personnel.
