Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan for plant operation
  • 1.1 Safety issues are identified to comply with enterprise/site requirements
  • 1.2 Work, plant and resource requirements are identified from relevant information and documentation
  • 1.3 Pre operational checks are carried out in accordance with enterprise and site requirements
  • 1.4 Where appropriate, the teams and individuals roles and responsibilities within the team are identified and, where required, assist in the provision of the on-the-job training
2 Operate generator and excitation system
  • 2.1 System is operated in accordance with enterprise/site and manufacturer's operating procedures
  • 2.2 Synchronising requirements are assessed, evaluated and achieved to ensure machine/system stability during synchronising
  • 2.3 System is monitored and observed to detect deviations from normal operating conditions
  • 2.4 Corrective actions are taken to rectify abnormalities in accordance with manufacturer's and enterprise/site procedures
3 Control generation of electrical energy
  • 3.1 Generator output is adjusted to meet demand whilst observing operating requirements
  • 3.2 Reactive power generation and voltage regulation requirements are assessed and the system is controlled to achieve the desired output
  • 3.3 Generator stabilities and operating limits are assessed and the system is controlled to maintain those limits tin accordance with enterprise/site and manufacturer's procedures
  • 3.4 Generator cooling systems and limits are monitored and assessed and excitation system is controlled to maintain those limits in accordance with enterprise/site and manufacturer's procedures
4 Coordinate generation control
  • 4.1 Load sharing between multiple generators is controlled to maintain optimum efficiency and plant reliability
  • 4.2 Output of generators is adjusted to meet demand whilst observing operating requirements
  • 4.3 System/plant key indicators are monitored and adjusted to maintain within limits and detect deviations from normal operating conditions
  • 4.4 Corrective actions taken to rectify system abnormalities are in accordance with manufacturer's, enterprise/site requirements
  • 4.5 System integrity, personal safety and continuity of supply are maintained throughout.
  • 4.6 Consultation with appropriate personnel is undertaken as required in accordance with enterprise/ site requirements.
  • 4.7 Systems are operated at optimum efficiency
5 Monitor system/plant
  • 5.1 System/plant to be monitored is physically identified
  • 5.2 System/plant is monitored for normal operation or to detect deviations
  • 5.3 Corrective action taken is in accordance with enterprise/site procedures
  • 5.4 Appropriate personnel are notified when defects and abnormal operating conditions are detected
6 Analyse system/plant faults
  • 6.1 Causes of abnormal system operating conditions are identified by analysing the technical and operational information in a logical and sequential manner
  • 6.2 Actions necessary to rectify fault are correctly determined
  • 6.3 System/plant integrity and personnel safety are maintained through consultation with appropriate personnel, and reference to plant, technical and operational documentation
  • 6.4 Appropriate personnel are arranged for local investigation of identified operational abnormalities
7 Complete documentation
  • 7.1 Documentation is updated and plant problems, movements, abnormalities and status are reported and logged in accordance with enterprise/site procedures
