KKS — Kraftwerk Kennzeichen System

A standardized identification system for power plant equipment, systems and locations.

Definition

KKS (Kraftwerk-Kennzeichen-System) is a standardized equipment identification and classification system originally developed for power generation facilities. It provides a consistent method for uniquely identifying plants, systems, equipment and locations, supporting engineering, operations, maintenance and technical documentation throughout the asset lifecycle.

Why It Matters

KKS provides standardized equipment identification for consistent asset management throughout power generation facilities.

In Practice

KKS remains widely used within the power generation industry and has influenced the development of other structured asset identification and plant coding systems.

Common Misuse

KKS standardizes equipment identification within power plants, whereas general asset registers may use organization-specific identification schemes across multiple industries.
