to the operation of the Complex.

(2) Before carrying out any switching at the Complex, that may effect the
interconnected WAPDA Grid System, the Complex Key Personnel carrying
out the switching shall, giving due regard to timescales and implications of
the intended switching, discuss the implications with the authorised Key
Personnel at NPCC, WAPDA, Islamabad.

(3) This timescale of notification shall vary according to the Complex

requirements, however Key Personnel at the Complex shall give due
notification to Key Personnel, NPCC, WAPDA, Islamabad to allow any .
transmission studies to be undertaken for WAPDA to ensure security of the

3.0 PROCEDURE

3.1 Comp(ex capacity

1. The Estimated Dependable Capacity of the Complex is 337MW. The

Dependable Capacity shall not be more than 105% of the above.

3.2 Types of starts (Schedule 2, 1.1)

(1) There are three types of start applicable to Units at the Complex. Times are
from desynchronisation to Notice to start.·.

(a) · Hot Start Unit shutdown less than 8 hours

(b) Warm Sta·rt Unit shutdown between 8 hours anq 150 hours
·(c) Cold Start Unit shutdown more than 150 hours.

' (2) The type of start indicated in (a) above refers to the initial start up condition .
following a normal ~hutdown. If the Unit shut down is by .other than nonnal
method, e.g. a trip, planned outage, or maintenance then the classification of
startwill be notified, by Fax, to the Chief Engineer, NPCC, WAPDA,
Islamabad.

I .
•

(3) Reference to starting means the process of firing the Unit boiler, running up
the Unit turbine generator and synchronising it to the WAPDA Grid System.
A Start Up has also deemed to have occurred if the Unit boiler pressure is
brought to 70 B~r or greater and is subsequently cancelled by WAPDA. In
this instance a copy of the relevant chart recorder showing the boiler
pressure at the point of cancellation shall be supplied along with the invoice
claiming the cost of the Start up.

(4) Complex start up may be limited to the following:

If the Complex start up transformer is out of service for any reason, the
Complex may be started using an internal connection to the adjacent AES
Complex. However, it is not possible to start both Complexes
simultaneously using one start up transformer. In this event, the delay in
starting one Complex will be regarded as a temporary partial derating, and
the provisions of Article 9.4 (Liquidated Damages and Penalties) shall apply.

l 3.3 Notice to synchronise

(1) Subject to item 3.3.(2) above, the following notice to synchronise times shall
apply to the starting of Units.

 The number of starts a Unit shall be subject to shall be pro rated for each category
for the period of the year from the Commissioned Date of the Unit to December 31st
of the Year in which it is commissioned. -

(2) A start is deemed to have occurred if:

(a) The Unit is synchronised to the WAPDA Grid System.
(b) The Unit boiler, having been brought to 70 Bars at the request of
WAPDA is subsequently depressurised.

(3) At no stage shall the number of start ups, on each Unit, be varied from that
detailed in (.1) above. The above Number of starts includes Starts arising
from WAPDA instruction or from faults on the WAPDA Grid system, but
excludes starts resulting from a maintenance outage or Forced outage for
reasons internal to the Complex.

Note: NPCC asked whether "unused starts" could be accumulated from one
year to the next. This subject may,be discussed in good faith by the
) Operating Committee after approval of the Operating Procedures.

3.5 Hot Standby

(1) Hot standby-:- is where a Complex-is maintained with the boiler at a pressure
exceeding 70 bar, a fire in the furnace and in a condition to permit
synchronisation to the system at the earliest opportunity consistent with the
tfJchnicallimits.
(2) The Company shall determine for each Complex the optimum method of
achieving this. The Engineer may certify this and shall advise WAPDA
accordingly.

3.6 _Unit loading rates

In practice the loading of the Complex shall be subject to thermal conditions
of the Complex at the time of synchronisation. n , .. f£----
• ."» . .....

(3) The rate for loading a warm Complex shall be determined by thermal
conditions applicable at the time of synchronisation. In practice·the ramping
rate and stabilisation periods shall be between those given for hot and cold
rates.

3. 7 Deloading rates
(1) Deloading rates applicable to the Complex shall vary according to the
method of shutdown. However, during commissioning of the Complex a
standard deloading rate shall be determined for the normal method of shut
down of the Complex. This shall be reported to NPCC, WAPDA, Islamabad
and shall be the expected standard deloading rate of a Unit.
· (2) However, not withstanding that contained in (1) above, there shall be times
that the standard deloading rate of a Unit requires varying for operational
reasons. If the deloading rate applicable to a Unit shutdown is to be varied
from the normal rate then the rate applicable shall be communicated, by ~ax,
to NPCC, WAPDA, Islamabad in advance of the shutdown of that Unit. .

3.8 Change of l.oad rate

(1) The change of load rate to vary the Complex Net Electrical Output following
a loading/deloading instruction shall be determined by practical operation of
the Units following commissioning.
(2) Step changes in instructed load, whilst operating in the frequency sensitive
mode, of up to 18 MWAJAA are allowable provided that the Complex load is
greater than 90 MW and less than 95°/o MCR. After such a step change the
new Complex load shall be held constant for 30 minutes for stabilisation
purpose~ or for a pro rata period for lesser step changes. The above figure
of 18 MW shall qe pro -rata should the Complex not achieve an Actual Initial
Gross Capacity of 362 MW.

Note: This response to step change inay be increased by agreement

between the Parties following Commissioning.

3.9 Minimum stable generation. (MSG)

The Complex shall be operated and maintained in accordance with Prudent
Utility Practice followed by the electrical utility industry in Pakistan and
internationally. Boiler control is fully operable on auto above 90MW
(generated). Therefore, between the minimum stable generation figure of 75
MW (generated) and 90MW (generated) the Complex shall normally operate
in the frequency insensitive (fixed load) mode of operation.

3.10 Minimum shutdown time (MST)

(1) The normat minimum shutdown time (MST) of a Unit shall be determined by
operating experience gained following the Commercial Operations Date,
and may be certified by the Engine~r.
(2) Until such time as this experience is gained then prudent operating practice
would define the normal minimum shutdown time (MST) for a Unit shall be
defined as being 2 hours duration excluding hot standby.

. '
 (3) However, following a full load rejection, provided the Complex Auxiliaries are
in continuous operation, the Complex can be re-synchronised within 1 Hr
(pro~ided the reason for the rejection is removed).

3.11 Minimum on time (MOT)

(1) The minimum on time (MOT) of the Complex shall be determined by

operating experience gained following the Commercial Operation Date, and
may be certified by the Engineer.

(2) Until such time as this experience is gained then prudent operating practice
would define the minimum on time (MOT) for the Complex shall be defined
as being , 0 hours duration.

3.12 Governor droop

(1) The PPA states that the speed governor range is adjustable in the range
1.5°/o to 8°/o. The technical design of the Plant Complex is such that the ·
normal operation set point of the governor shall initially be 5°/o with a
maximum step change of each Complex operating in the frequency sensitive
mode of 18 MW when running at loads above 90 MW.
(2) If, at a future date, the normal operating set point of the governor is found to
be unsuitable then discussions shall take place between WAPDA and the
company to agree a new set point. Neither party shall. unreasonably
withhold agreement to a revised set point.

3.13 Automatic Generation Control

See OP/8, Para 3.9

3.14 Voltage limits

(1) The Complex shall operate within the range of ± 10°/o of a nominal voltage of
220 kV (198 to 242.kV) ·~· .
-~
(2) Key personnel at the Complex shall use reasonable endeavours to notify
Key Personnel, NPCC, WAPDA, Islamabad should the Grid System voltage
be·.seen to rise above 240 kV. NPCC, WAPDA, Islamabad shall at all times
take reasonable steps to control the Grid System voltage at a level not to
exceed 240 kV at the Complex.
(3) Should the voltage limits be exceeded then ttte Complex shall disconnect
from the WAPDA Grid System:

3.15 Freque-n cy limits

(1) The Complex shall be operated without limit within the freql!ency range 49Hz
to 51 Hz, and for a limited time· outside these limits but within the limits
47,5Hz to 52.5 Hz. The time limit will depend on the generator voltage
thermal limits in accordance with IEC 34-3 (para 5).
(2) Should the frequency range be exceeded then the Complex shall be subject
to tripping or disconnection from the· WAPDA Grid System.
 3.16 MVAR limits
( 1) The Complex shall operate at 100°/o load with a generated power factor in the
range 0.85 lagging to 0.9 leading, which range shall not be exceeded.
(2) At 0%1 load the Complex has a theoretical generated Reactive Power
capability of 345 MVAR lagging and 221 MVAR leading. Leading MVAR
are subject to system stability limitations. Pending advice ·on this from
WAPDA, the Generator Capability Diagram shows the 10% stability limits s.et
