Calpine and their history with PI

• Calpine standardized on PI as their operations
  historian in early 2001
• Prior, a mix of control system historians and
  embedded historians were used
• The data gathered by these devices could not
  easily and efficiently be transmitted external to
  the facility
• Higher risk of invalid or untimely data being
  used to support business decisions
• The amount of historical data available was also
  limited to the type of historian installed

Calpines PI Infrastructure

• PI is installed at 79 of Calpines 82 generating
  facilities
• We have 55 production PI servers and 24 PI API
  nodes
• Not all sites require a production PI server, so
  API nodes are installed and interfaced with a
  production server
• We installed 37 PI systems in 2001, 41 in 2002,
  and 1 so far in 2003
• PI is a standard installation at all generating
  facilities
