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 />
