The KKS app assist the user in decoding systems, components and documents employing RDSPP codes at the plant.So you always know which systems, components and devices you have in front of you and where you are. The general basic RDSPP from VGB Powertect is also inclued for free use. RDS-PP is the further development for the proven identification system for power plants KKS. Compared to this, it provides a number of innovations and extensions, coming up for today's requirements for designation of power plants components. In contrast to the KKS, RDS-PP was enhanced with a view on new forms of power generation, e. g. decentralized plants. The new designation system is based on international standards, especially to ISO/TS 81346-10, ISO/TS 81346-3, related to the structuring principles and the designation systematic. The international harmonization of the RDS-PP and its constant structuring help to avoid errors and misunderstandings during the designation whereby the plant reliability is increased. RDS-PP is - same as the KKS - a common standard for operators and manufacturers of power plants. The world-wide acceptation opens further potentials for long-term cost reductions when planning, construction and operating of power plants.
