Research On Design Schedule Management Of International CSP Project Based On Critical Chain

Concentrating Solar Power(CSP)has attracted much investment in renewable energy power generation field.However,the CSP technology is still in the early stage,and the CSP projects has the features of large investment,high degree of difficulty and involving a wide range.The application of the traditional project schedule management method in the international CSP design projects,always facing some problems,such as schedule change frequently,project completion extension and so on.Through the collection and analysis of the reference documents,this thesis makes a proposal on how to apply the Critical Chain Method(CCPM)to develop and control the schedule in the international CSP design project.Firstly,this thesis introduces the basic theory of CCPM,including the theoretical basis,basic idea and application steps,and make a main introduction about Critical chain identification and buffer management.Besides,the advantages of the CCPM is briefly described,compared with traditional schedule management method.Secondly,this thesis proposes a project schedule management method based on CCPM,which is applied to the international CSP design projects.The project schedule module focuses on the critical chain identification method applying the improved resource allocation method,and the buffer calculation method based on the duration reduction factor and the position weight.The project schedule control module focuses on buffer control method combining the buffer trisection and project hierarchical management method.Thirdly,with the X engineering design project as the research case,applying CCPM to the project.On one hand,the schedule is optimized under the resource constraints,by which the project duration has been reduced by 62 days compared with the CPM method.On the other hand,this thesis proposes a project schedule control method by monitoring the buffer consumption.Finally,on the basis of summarizing the research results,the thesis puts forward the shortages of this research and the research direction of next phase.
