The control function for process, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and electrical systems in nuclear power plant (NPP) are represented by control logic diagram. To develop distributed control system (DCS), the designer and supplier should complete the activities of control logic configuration, testing, and verification, which are based on control logic diagram. Design verification is an effective method to ensure the correctness of control logic design. This paper represents a system, which is capable of implementing control logic design verification automatically for NPP instrumentation and control (I&C) system, as well as an overview of the procedure and some examples by using this system. With the design data (including control requirements and control logic diagrams in computer-readable format) and simulation technology, this system automatically performs design verification based on different rules and confirms the design outputs meet the inputs—the control requirements of plant's systems. Finally, a conclusion about the design verification system and future scenarios is given.

The control function for process, HVAC and electrical systems in nuclear power plant (NPP) are represented by control logic diagram. To develop Distributed Control System (DCS), the designer and supplier should complete the activities of control logic configuration, testing and verification which are based on control logic diagram. Design Verification is an effective method to ensure the correctness of control logic design. This paper represents an overview of the procedure for control logic design verification in NPP I&C system, as well as the common function of platform/system to implement design verification. It focuses on the design verification for component control logic, to confirm the design outputs meet the inputs — the control requirements of plant’s systems. Finally, a conclusion about the design verification system as well as future scenarios is given.

Background – PT Pembangkitan Jawa-Bali (PT PJB) is a subsidiary of PT PLN (Persero) which participates in the Business Performance Rating Program in Environmental Management (PROPER) organized by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) of the Republic of Indonesia based on Ministry of Environment Regulation No 06 year 2013. As a subsidiary of PT PLN (Persero), PT PJB establishes management contracts  which  aim to get a Gold PROPER rating from the MoEF. Even so, the company still has some challenges as it encounters several problems of managing CSR internally. As a first step, PT PJB, especially in CSR Department, has made improvements in its organization by implementing a PROPER-based performance appraisal system in managing CSR in all PT PJB Power Plants. Purpose – Examining the phenomenon which has been occurring for the past several years, researcher decided to conduct observations and interviews. This study tries to explain descriptively how changes have been designed and implemented through the "Performance Management Model" approach. Design / Methodology / Approach – This study is a qualitative field research. The data for this research were collected through observation and interviews. Focus interview were about CSR concept, Company’s goal and target, integrated CSR management to Company’s vision and mission, CSR management problems in different area, and social-environment national issue. Data collected were then analyzed using content analysis method. Result and Discussion – Positive impacts were found after the implementation of change in management model at the CSR Department, such as maturity level in CSR management increased, charity program decreased, and human resources capability increased. The result that One of the company’s Power Plants, Paiton Power Plant, won the Gold PROPER rating. It could be considered as the biggest achievement since the company became the only power plant in the PLN (Persero) Group which first obtained a Gold PROPER rating. Conclusion –  The establishment and implementation of PROPER-based governance system would not be optimum if it did not involve employees (Head Department, Managers, Supervisors, and staff) mastering in CSR. Research Limitations – This study has limitations in reference, namely the limited researches and previous journals on organizational change, particularly in the management of its CSR activities, which researcher found as reference material.

Using organizational performance management that is validated and used in active companies, this research aims to study business performance management in entrepreneurial frameworks. This study presents a conceptual approach based on some theories founded on the organizational performance management as a process, but adapted to the context of entrepreneurship. It is proposed the conceptual analysis and submitting the verification of the formulated hypotheses. An entrepreneurial framework is defined by some factors such as: entrepreneur, along with his personal and professional characteristics, who is the main actor of the so-called entrepreneurial process; business idea that entrepreneur wants to turn it into profitable business; market opportunity, which demonstrates that the business idea is valid, has novelty and can be fructified and developed; business plan, that needs to be well prepared in a very detailed manner and containing long run strategies; business start-up resources, including time resources allocated to implement the business plan, physical resources, information, financial and human resources; the environment where the business will be active; technology needed to develop the business activity. To study more closely the issue of performance management in entrepreneurial contexts, will be defined entrepreneurial performance management as a process, which can lead to the success rate of a business idea and to the rate of business sustainability. To perform this study it has been proposed a case study where an entrepreneur wants to develop a business in renewable energy, and more specifically, the development of a solar power plant that transforms solar energy into electricity, which then it’s been introduced into the national grid of electricity supply. So in this research will be studied the entire process by which the real business appears and a variant of the case that the solar power plant could be built in Romania and will be proposed a detailed system of performance indicators, specific to the entrepreneurial framework. Using a research methodology based on case study, this research has as a central objective, to define the entrepreneurial performance management through a set of specific performance indicators, which can then be used in practice, by entrepreneurs who want to start a new business in renewable energy.

Power plant owners have been monitoring the performance of their power plant processes, equipment and instrumentation for several years. In recent years, however, they have been increasingly confronted with several challenges in maximizing the value of their generating plant assets. The challenges include: deregulation, increased competition, aging of power plant equipment, inadequate instrumentation, aging workforce, lack of experienced/qualified personnel and tools to effectively monitor the operation, performance and condition of plant processes and equipment. These constraints have adversely impacted the capacity, availability and reliability and efficiency of the generating plant asset as well as the total cost of ownership and return on investment. On a positive note, however, technological innovations and tools such as the advent of the Internet, web-based and wireless technologies, advanced software applications and tools, automation, smart sensors and instruments with diagnostic capabilities, are all now making it possible for power plant owners to do more with less. Using case studies, this paper discusses various initiatives and technological advances that are being utilized to maximize power generating asset value through performance management.
