3.2.4 Operating and Control Requirements<br />

It is to be assumed that the Facility may operate both as a base load power<br />

generating station or peaking power station. Facility design and control system<br />

must be designed to maximize efficient operation, under both these operating<br />

regimes.<br />

The control and supervision of the Facility shall be carried out in a Central<br />

Control Room (CCR), from where the generators will normally be started, autosynchronized,<br />

and initially loaded. Provision shall be made to allow the Facility<br />

output to be controlled remotely by <strong>BPDB</strong> through the AGC program installed at<br />

<strong>BPDB</strong>’s LDC.<br />

The Facility shall also meet the following steady state and transient operating<br />

conditions:<br />

a. Operate under automatic control for sustained periods at all loads above<br />

minimum controllable, for the given ambient temperature range.<br />

b. Provide the necessary equipment to ensure safe shut down of the Facility.<br />

c. Automatic controls shall account for setting the ramp rates for start up<br />

and loading.<br />

d. Each engine generator shall be provided with a flexible governing system<br />

whose characteristics can be readily adjusted as well as any changes in<br />

the operating regime that may arise during the life of the Facility. The<br />

governing system should be provided with a set of control algorithms<br />

that allow plant operators to change governor control parameters, if<br />

required.<br />

3.2.5 Facility Maintenance<br />

Maintenance of the Facility shall be scheduled either between November and<br />

February, inclusive or between July and October, inclusive (please also see<br />

Maintenance Months definition in the PPA). Maintenance of the Facility can also<br />

be scheduled during other alternative periods as <strong>BPDB</strong> may specify.<br />

3.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS<br />

3.3.1 Design Life<br />

The Facility shall be designed for a life of 22 years, and the Company shall be<br />

responsible for owning, operating and maintaining the Facility for 15 years after<br />

the Commercial Operation Date. Ownership and operation of the Facility<br />

following the 15 Year Term shall be as may be agreed in accordance with the<br />

PPA<br />

3.3.2 Staffing Levels<br />

The Facility shall be designed to require the minimum number of operating and<br />

maintenance staff, consistent with high operational safety, reliability and<br />

economy.<br />
