1.Overview:

Commissioning protocols describe the outline for the process and procedures that will be used during the
testing and commissioning throughout the different stages of:
• Construction and Mechanical completion stage.
• Cold Commissioning and Grid Connection Readiness stage.
• Energization and Hot Commissioning stage.
• Reliability run and Performance Test.

Commissioning PV systems verifies that the installation has been satisfactorily and safely completed
according to plans and procedures.

Key steps of testing and commissioning include:

1. Electromechanical Completion test

2. Commissioning
3. Performance tests.

2. Brief description of Project:

▪Project Capacity – 122 MWp / 105 MWac

▪Project Location – The project site is in Copiapó region of Atacama Chile, 65 km south of Copiapó City.

▪Geographical Coordinates - The approximate latitude and longitude for the site is 27.81°S and 70.28°W.

▪Scope – The design, supply, construction, assembly and delivery of the plant by the EPC of the plant with
an operations and maintenance proposal for 2 years extendable option up to 15 years, on a turnkey basis
limited up to plant boundary with plant SS in EPC scope. Voltage Levels 33kV/220 kV. Power Transformer
is free issue item.

3. Sequence and tests for commissioning:
After Electromechanical Completion Test, PV facility Commissioning (Cold & Hot) will start
followed by performance test (Trial Operation Period)
Cold & Hot commissioning will be done as per approved Testing and Commissioning
procedures, this includes:
1) PV array commissioning test
2) Inverter commissioning test
3) I&C equipment test
4) Grid compliance test

4|P ag e
 Performance test:
After completion of commissioning, ten qualified days PR test will be carried out as per the
approved procedure.
Actual export capacity calculation (AC):
After completion of performance test, Actual export capacity calculation (AC) will be carried
out.

5.Schedule:

The commissioning schedule is dictated by installation/construction completion. Key commissioning

milestones include initial energization/synchronization, initial acceptance and final acceptance.

The commissioning schedules will be provided at a later stage to keep project on track.

6.Commissioning log:

It’s necessary to track all issues and observations during commissioning activities and startup. This will serve
as a close out document and record resolution of any issues.

All key issues will be verified in closure, on Initial acceptance, any open issues will be added to the project
punch list. Repeated or critical failure shall be tracked by Quality compliance report.

7.Turn Over:

The turnover of the facility from construction to commissioning will occur section or Block. As each
section/Block is completed by construction, jurisdiction will be transferred commissioning.

Example: -
Once block 1 installation is completed as compared with ICL of all equipment’s the same block is handed
over to commissioning team for Testing purpose.

After that the area will be under safety actions and precautions with proper barriers and signages to perform
the respective test.

8 Test Report:
Checklist and commissioning reports as applicable shall be used along with procedures for testing and
commissioning. The checklist including commissioning reports shall be part of the record and
documentation. The test reports shall be submitted on daily basis or section/block wise.

9. Safety:

Testing and commissioning work will be in line with project HSSE-CESMP plan no personal will be allowed in
energised area which is in control of commissioning without proper training and authorization by Site
commissioning Manager or his representative. Standard electrical system safety practices should be used
during the evaluation or testing of grid- interactive inverters and photovoltaic systems. All countries have
installation codes and standards that help to assure the safe installation of hardware and systems, however,
testing of a system may involve working with a system or component that has wiring errors or unsafe
conditions. Only qualified personnel should conduct the tests described in this document. Safe practices
must be observed. It is recommended that for each installation, a “Safe Operating Procedure” be written,
reviewed and approved before work in the field begins. The “Safe Operating Procedure” must always be
adhered to . Any changes to the procedure must be reviewed and approved before testing continues.

10. Quality:

All the testing and commissioning will be carried out with high quality in compliance project quality plan
and quality assurance.
