Understanding the KKS Power Plant Classification System In the complex world of power generation, clarity is safety. With thousands of pumps, valves, sensors, and cables packed into a single facility, a standardized "language" is essential for engineering, operation, and maintenance. This is where the , or Power Plant Identification System, comes in.

Applicable to all types of power plants (Fossil, Nuclear, Hydro, Wind, Solar).

Uses alphanumeric codes that bypass language barriers.

Standardized labeling prevents accidental operation of the wrong valve or breaker.

KKS allows for seamless integration with Asset Management (EAM) and ERP systems like SAP.

Developed by the VGB PowerTech association, KKS is a classification system used to identify equipment, components, and structures in power plants. Unlike arbitrary numbering, KKS provides a structured, hierarchical code that tells you exactly an object is and where it is located. It is designed to be:

This identifies systems and subsystems based on their function. Example: Identifying a high-pressure feedwater system. 2. Point of Installation Identification (Breakdown Level 2)
