    Figure 1: A PIID acts as a permanent technical address that survives ownership transitions and software migrations, preventing the 'institutional amnesia' typical of multi-decade asset lifecycles

    ­Picture the commissioning closeout of a new substation or combined-cycle generation facility. Thousands of engineering hours have produced relay coordination studies, protection settings files, equipment FAT reports, arc-flash analyses, and as-built one-line diagrams. That documentation is the most complete te
