1. INTRODUCTION
All the activities described in this document shall be implemented in accordance
with the relevant Safety Policies as per the Purchase Order and Contract
requirement. In particular the appropriate Permit to Work system shall be
adhered to.
Prior to the commencement of these commissioning procedures it shall be the
responsibility of the relevant Systems Engineer to confirm that System Pre-
requisites in Section 3 of this document have been completed and signed off.
For detailed definitions of terms used within these procedures refer to ‘SBM
Corporate Completions Manual’ Document ref. No. MZM99002
1.1 OBJECTIVES
To check the equipment / system is fit for purpose and to perform operational
tests in order to demonstrate the functionality of the system to the Operations
Group and third parties for acceptance, certification and handover.
2. SYSTEM DATA
2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The power generation systems are designed to operate under normal conditions,
as two independent, non-linked systems.
During normal operation, the ship-side Diesel Generator G-F1102 or Turbo
Alternators G-F1101A, G-F1101B will supply the Vessel’s load and either Alstom
Gas Turbine Generators, G-T1110, G-T1120 will supply the Topsides load.
The Topsides main power generation (supplied by two duel fuel Alstom Tornado
Gas Turbines), each of approx. 5.45 MW (gas fuel) / 8245kVA; 1800 rpm, 6600
volts; 60 Hz; 595.96 amp.
The generators feed via circuit breakers onto the main H.V.switchboard S-T4101
(located at the LER), from which the LV distribution is supplied along with various
high voltage drives.
For safety purposes whilst commissioning of the ‘Power Generation System’ is
underway, the following circuit breakers located within the H.V.switchboard, No’s.
S-T4101/A6, S-T4101/A4, S-T4101/B4, S-T4101/B5 and S-T4101/B6 shall be
racked out and isolated under the permit to work:
For the purpose of the ‘Power Generation’ test procedure, two 2.5MVA load
banks (60Hz, 440V, 3 phase 0.8Pf) resistive and reactive shall be connected to
the topsides low voltage distribution, via transformers T-T4151A (2500KVA) & T-
T4151B (2500KVA), located at the LER module 13.
The load banks shall be connected directly to the LV side of the aforementioned
transformers. Aggreko units are delivered fully tested as individual units, the
intention of testing on site is to prove their operability as parallel units on the
main power system.

4.3.1.5. ONSHORE TESTING OF DRIVEN EQUIPMENT
No. Steps Tick
General
1. High voltage checks to be in accordance with Vendor procedures and
SBM EITR’s, for AC generators.
2. Simulate and confirm that the turbines automatically change over to
diesel fuel via the ESD system, under the following conditions:-
(i) Topsides Process Shutdown.
(ii) Fuel gas system trip.
Note: -
On initial energisation of transformers, measure secondary voltage of each and
compare. Also measure the potential if any between secondary phase “A” of each
machine to check vector grouping.
17. Using reactive / active load banks. Step load generator as follows:
(i) From 0MVA to 1MVA.
(ii) From 1MVA to 5MVA.
Run 4hrs at 5MVA and 4 hrs AT 3MVA
18. Conduct load rejection tests, step load from 5MVA to 2MVA and
5MVA to 0MVA.
19. With a single turbine loaded to 1MVA, conduct AC generator
synchronizing checks in accordance with Vendor procedure and as
summarized below:-
(i) At Unit Control Panel (UCP) set synchronizing selector switch
to MANUAL and check that the synchroscope is now
operational.
(ii) Adjust voltage adjust knob to increase voltage as applicable.
(iii) Adjust speed control knobs to increase or decrease speed as
applicable.
(iv) Trim balance speed and output voltage at synchroscope.
Manually synchronise the second generator, before closing the circuit
breaker confirm the synchroscope using phasing sticks.
Performance Testing
Performance testing should be conducted broadly in accordance with vendor test
procedure, to demonstrate unit's performance remains unchanged since testing at
Rugby.
Parallel Running
Prior to conducting any parallel test, each unit should have had the run and verify
checks completed individually up to maximum load using the Load Bank (4 hours at
full load and 4 hours at part load).
20. Confirm and ensure that the static droop AVR and governor stability
study has been completed as per the droop requirements.
Load Sharing
21. Confirm that the two generators run in parallel with each other.
After Manual Synchronisation
Making sure before closure of Generator Incomer that the phase
relationship between the H.V.Switchboard and the Check Synch.
Relay close permissive is in harmony.
Load Acceptance / Rejection Test
Conduct Load acceptance and rejection test including governor and AVR stability
checks and measurements. Vendor test procedure to be adhered to.
22. With parallel running at 1MW step load from 1MW to 3MW to 5MW.
23. Simulate equipment tripping, step load rejection from 5MW to 3MW to
1MW.
Auto Synchronising
24. With one turbine loaded to 2MW, engage the Auto Sync. system of
the second machine. Ensure the incoming machine synchronises in
the given time (30 secs).
