5 Pre Synchronisation checks

6.6kV swbd NC0-SWG-810-1001 transfer all load from Bus A to Bus B, LOTO all outgoig feeders
A08 confirm Bus A VT connected, confirm Bus A LIVE
A09 Bus-Tie OPEN CB and LOTO
A08 confirm Bus A DEAD
A09 confirm Line VT connected
A09 OPEN Line Earthing Switch
A01 Rack-in CB
Enable GTG hydraulic start system
Start Gasturbine, run rated speed
Manually control AVR, slow voltage ramp-up check votage on A01 Line VT metering
Confirm DEAD Bus A on GSP and CLOSE A01 CB from GSP
A08 confirm Bus A LIVE
Carry-out Pre-sync Phase Rotation, Sequence & Voltage Checks as per attached schedule
A01 Check correct functionality Synchrocheck
GSP Check correct functionality of Synchro & other devices
A01 OPEN CB from GCP
Stop Gasturbine, observe AVR auto voltage ramp-down

6 First Synchronisation (Local / GCP & GSP)

A09 Bus-Tie CLOSE CB
A08 confirm Bus A LIVE
Disable/disconnect A01 CB Closing coil (at A01 or at GSP)
Run at least 3 Aggreko Gensets, ensure stable and sufficient load > 600 kW ???
Enable GTG hydraulic start system
Start Gasturbine, run rated speed and voltage
Manually synchronise GTG on Bus A (dummy sync), check sync devices and A01 sync check functionality
Reconnect A01 CB Closing coil (at A01 or at GSP)
Manually synchronise GTG on Bus A check sync devices and A01 sync check functionality
Check GTG load sharing (Droopmode) MW and MVAr
Unload GTG and open A01 CB
Auto synchronise GTG on Bus A, check functionalities
Perform after Sync Protection test: Fuse Failure, Under exitation and Reverse Power

7 Synchronisation of NC0-SWG-810-1001 Bus A and Bus B at Bus-Tie A09

To be discussed

8 Synchronisation and Loadsharing (Remote / DCS)

Similar to First Sync (Local), to be discussed.
