Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare system for operation
- Identify production requirements to plan power generation levels.
- Determine power generation requirements in conjunction with power authorities.
- Determine sequencing for plant startup to suit current circumstances.
- Conduct system inspections and pre-start up safety checks in line with regulatory requirements, organisational safety and standard operating procedures.
- Confirm plant status by observation and inspection.
- Complete routine maintenance to ensure optimum system performance.
- Initiate system startup
- Commence sequence for plant startup in line with standard operating procedures.
- Coordinate generation system start with distribution and ancillary systems and bring on-line.
- Observe system or plant for correct operational response.
- Detect deviations from operational specifications and rectify or report.
- Record system startup and power generation data in operating log.
