Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan for Load Shedding
  • 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 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 Set Under Frequency Load Shedding
  • 2.1 Individual Load Source data is collated, assessed, evaluated and prioritised in accordance with enterprise/site procedures.
  • 2.2 Data is assessed against trends to determine suitability for load shed selection.
  • 2.3 Load data is grouped and summed to match generator/units output into stages of priority.
  • 2.4 Selected load shedding is implemented.
  • 2.5 Staged load data is monitored and recalculated to detect deviations from parameters in accordance with enterprise procedures.
3 Respond to Under Frequency Load Shedding Operation
  • 3.1 Load data is monitored and selections adjusted to maintain values within permissible parameters.
  • 3.2 Enterprise procedures relating to deviations are followed and appropriate stakeholders are consulted and course of corrective action determined.
4 Complete documentation
  • 4.1 Documentation is updated and status are reported and logged in accordance with enterprise/site procedures
