My Plant Specifics

- If two sensors fail then the units will go into a controller shutdown

- If the PLC is lost for more than 4 hours it will begin a  controlled shutdown of the units

• 1. Call the lock keeper to initiate spill M-F 0600-1600
• 2. Call Fortis to get them to dispatch electrician
• 3. Call PSOSE
• **If you cannot contact the lock keeper within 10 minutes must initiate RGO**

• 1. Initiate RGO within 10 minutes lock keepers hours Saturday, Sunday and holidays are 0800-1600
• 2. Call lock keeper to coordinate flows
• 3. Remain at SNL until able to start (protection removes unit after 1 hour SNL)
• 4. Start criteria met initiate autosynch
• 5. Within 5 min of synch load unit

• 1. Call lock keeper to initiate spill M-F 0600-1600
• 2. Call Fortis to get them to dispatch electrician
• 3. Call PSOSE
• **If you cannot contact the lock keeper within 10 minutes must initiate RGO**

• 1. Check if 2L290 has kicked out. If it has call grid to see how long it will be out.
• 2. If it will be close to the 10 minute mark, then call lock keeper to intiate spill M-F 0600-1600
• 3. Call PSOSE
• 4. Once line back bring one unit at a time waiting 5-10 minutes between because reservoir is < 435m and may cause gross trip

Yes, there are ramp rates due to mechanical issues. They are 9MW/min on increase and 3 MW/min on decrease

• 1. If G2 is able to run, start the unit
• 2. You should be graphing the ramp down from 40MW to 10MW so find the MW value prior to trip.
• 3. Once G2 is running ramp up to G1 MW value prior to trip and ramp down.
• 4. Let SCM know about violation
• 5. Call standby manager
• 6. Call PSOSE

PID the unit from 75MW to 40MW and then PID from 40MW to 10MW at 1.5 MW/min. Run unit at 10MW for 5 min before shutting down.

• Open the DSY screen and see what SPOG 2 is at.
• Use the converter in CM to calculate total flow and your delta flow change.
• Make sure to follow the ramp rates based on these two numbers

Verify that the unit has been shutdown for 30 minutes unless there was a creep alarm

Be sure to increase the gate limit to 30% before initiating the start command

Run unit to max load depending on the reservoir level for 5 minutes.

Bring unit down and shutdown at 10MW

Manually close the gate limit to 0%

• 1. Open the sluice gate by 50%
• 2. Call the standby manager
• 3. Call PSOSE

PUN, LAJ & JOR

Yes there are fishues, ramp rates and minimum flows. Definitely review SOO before operation.

+/- 2MW of plant total

+/- 3MW of plant total

• Yes,
• < 79 cms increase is 14MW/hr and decrease is 7MW/hr
• 79 - 122 cms is over one hour increase or decrease
• > 122 cms there are no ramp rates

Only remote blackstart on the island

You would use ASH through 1L127

There are vibration sensors on the penstocks that large thunderstorms can trigger the protection on. This can be a major factor.

• 1. Try to resynch units
• 2. If you can't resynch units restore plant total with other units
• 3. Call JHT electricians to initiate spill if you can't restore
• 4. Notify SCM of violation
• 5. Call PSOSE

You must adjust the HCV as needed. Watch Elliot Bay levels as you don't always need to open the HCV right away to startup if it's high.

You should also call Grid 2 operator to let them know that you are taking it offline or bringing it online

It has a PRV like PUN and there are ramp rates for change in generation and minimum flows. 

• Increase in generation is 2.6MW/min
• Decrease in generation is 2.5MW/min

Check the CBL 25F62 feeder to see if the breaker is open. You may need to contact load or trouble center to see if they have complaints of power outage on this feeder.

• 1. Dispatch an electrician to the CQD power tunnel to close the power tunnel
• 2. Call LM MGR
• 3. Call PSOSE

Let the SCM know that you are moving the plant total

The runback protection from the JHT forebay level.

If there is an earthquake an electrician must be dispatched. if no communications to LDR and no spill at JHT, to shut units down. Check SOO

5.1cms inst. and 5.7cms 3-day rolling average

Control room is 6.0cms

15.1cms inst. and 15.6cms 3-day rolling average

In the fall there is a ratcheting minimum from 15.6cms to 20.7cms. You must not go below the new flow if increased in this range.

If the flow is < 19.8cms then the maximum flow change is 2.8cms/hr, control room is 2.5cms/hr per the SOO.

**note most journeymen will use 2.1cms/hr when ramping**

6T-73 because you need to start RPG units to power Prince Rupert islanded.

Call Spectra Gas to see if there is good enough linepack to start and run RPG.

• 1. Start all three units and run them in SNL to restore flows as much as possible
• 2. Call LM MGR for spill
• 3. Notify SCM if violation occurs
• 4. Call PSOSE

Yes, there is a minimum tailwater of 1.7m from Dec 01 to Oct 14 and 1.8m from Oct 15 to Nov 30

Minimum tailrace let SCM know if violation occurs

RUS has a very small forebay (Hayward Lake) and SFN may need to be backed off to prevent high levels. Call PSOSE

No, the two units share the same penstock. If started at the same time it will bring in a "SCA 21 TIV Oil Trouble Low" alarm

• 1. Determine priority
• 2. Check CROW to see if it's re-occuring or if it's already entered
• 3. Go to Filenet to the LOO and see if there are any actions for the alarm
• 4. Check paper log to see if the alarm is listed for special action
• 5. Callout based on priority and first 4 steps if alarm doesn't clear

• P1 - Equipment operation
• P2 - Immediate operator action required
• P3 - Immediate field staff callout required
• P4 - Field staff callouts between 08:00 and 22:00
• P5 - Next day action req'd. Enter in CROW
• P6 - Information messages

ALU -> SFN -> RUS

LAJ -> BR1/2 -> SON

No, we have no controls

No

Should call the Grid #1 Operator to let them know that you are shutting the unit down. You can verify the bridge loop is closed as well.

Yes, there is a maximum tailrace height of 19.6m.

Once tailrace hits 18.0m unit increase is limited to 5MW or less to ensure tailwater doesn't increase above 19.6m.

Yes, if the unit times out on startup you must initiate a stop before another start is attempted

If starting up the unit you must bring the gate limit up to roughly 65% before loading

Make sure that the KCL ring is in the right configuration. If it will bring the ring down to just one path, you must discuss with TC first.

If everything is ok, ensure that the right configuration is in place being main disconnect is closed and the breakers are open.

Go to the SEV spillway gates screen and enable all 5 spill gates. Hit the 200 sec on all 5 gates.

Call 51333 and let ring 3 times. No call in 3 minutes then call number again

• 1. Check tags
• 2. Make sure ring configuration is right, disconnect closed and breakers open
• 3. Initiate start
• 4. Once voltage, gate position are up close one of the main breakers to synch
• 5. Once sync hit a MW raise to keep from reverse power
• 6. Turn LFC ON
• 7. Don't turn on JVC as only one unit is online
• 8. Pass back to GC

• 1. Check all tags
• 2. Start unit
• 3. Once unit says running, hit main breaker and select close
• 4. Once voltage comes up you can then select exec sync
• 5. Once online give a MW raise to avoid reverse power
• 6. Turn LFC ON
• 7. Pass back to GC

• 1. Check all tags
• 2. Start unit
• 3. Once unit says running, hit main breaker and select close
• 4. Once voltage comes up you can then select exec sync
• 5. Once online give a MW raise to avoid reverse power
• 6. Turn LFC ON
• 7. Pass back to GC

• 1. Check all tags
• 2. Verify intake gate is open
• 3. If step 1 & 2 ok initiate start
• 4. Wait for frequency, gate position to increase and field flash voltage before attempting sync (some big units won't field flash until breaker close button is clicked)
• 5. Select field breaker and execute sync
• 6. Hit a MW raise to prevent unit from going into negative power
• 7. Raise unit manually all the way, or up to the PID minimum and use PID for raise depending on unit

• 1. Call Spectra Gas to see if gas is available
• 2. After Load Desk opens RUP 60CB15 & 60CB16 start G1 in droop mode to SNL
• 3. Place G1 in isochronous mode
• 4. After unit reaches 60Hz close unit breaker within 5 min to re-establish SS
• 5. Coordinate with Load Operator for picking up load
• 6. When G1 nears 20MW startup G2
• 7. Contact RTI, PRG and PRT to stay offline
• 8. Bring FLS back online if possible
• 9. Advise BRL to come online. If out permanently then call PSOSE for gas purchase
