Nowadays, with the development of the rapid development of large scale ground-mounted power plant, the construction management of the power plant has attract the attention of the practitioners’ gradually. Solar Power plant project management is a very comprehensive project management work and involves different stages including design, procurement, construction and trail operation. It covers a wide-range of topics and is multi-professional, which has the characteristic of practical, dynamical, and complicated. It requires the constructional personnel to adjust and optimize the project progress in time and realize coordinate the configuration of progress and resources regarding the scheduled plan, procurement plan and design plan integrated dynamically.

 

The methodology of project plan and control theory about the ground-mounted power plant construction has been completed and mature gradually due to the years of practical experience of the practitioners. Many plans and control methods has a great effect on the practice in actual project management. The methods and tools of project management and control management, such as Gantt chart (or bar chart), critical path method, program evaluation and review technique, critical about common ground-mounted power plant construction plan.

 

1.     Project Task Breakdown

Project work breakdown structure is to breakdown the work layer by layer to form work of different layers. It a collection of all work activities set to complete project target and display in the form of a diagram. When breaking down the work, it can help project management practitioners to sort the work relationship between overall and graded and practitioners can also understand the content of different layers through project work breakdown as well as guide specific works. The overall description of the project and highlighting key content are also the basis for the production of the project and the breakdown of the work.

At the same time, the organization structure of the project will be set as the following graph: 

Power generation Project Organization Structure

Base on the characteristic of the project, the main task of the project will be breakdown to: planning phase, construction drawing review phase, construction phase, acceptance phase.

 

2. Planning Phase

Project feasibility study is a decisive work needs professional consulting institution to design and form feasibility study report. Analysing project necessity, feasibility is the important promise of project development, for example, proposal of project site selection, Preliminary review opinions on project land use, description of project land use and geological disaster assessment etc; The preliminary project design mainly includes drawing up dimension, quantity and specification of equipment, confirming installation form, drawing up installing location and quantity etc; The detailed design needs to confirm the construction site conditions, confirming installation location of equipment, selecting electricity distribution room, designing power cable routing, confirming gird connection point and the grounding point of the power station.
