 PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY

 Get a shipping address/procedure/custom’s requirements to send parts and support

tooling to site. Include “attention to” name and site telephone number.

 Ensure tooling for start-up is available. Who is supplying alignment tool?

 Is a flush kit needed? Where is it and can it be used during commissioning? Has a
contractor been hired to flush off-skid piping and cooler if needed?

 Review vendor data and vendor support personnel requirements.

 Review the condition of the package.

ON-SITE ACTIVITY

 Keep your Commissioning Project Support Engineer informed of on-site

activity/emergencies.

 Include PD number, project name, and problem in subject line of e-mail.

Sort and Inventory Shipment

 Ensure parts are stored in a reasonable/logical manner. If they cannot be kept dry and
secure, inform DSM and Commissioning.

 Identify and report any missing parts as soon as possible.

 Inspect for shipping/installation damage and make note on carrier’s Bill of Lading, if
possible. Report findings to DSM and Commissioning.

 Inspect interconnect shafts for complete assemblies, including bolts, shim packs, etc.
Record serial number which must be the same on all pieces.

 Inspect batteries for electrolyte. Solar’s standard is wet. If the customer insisted on dry
batteries, verify that he has arranged for electrolyte.

Oil Tank Vent System

 System installed per drawing. Flame arrester installed (within 15 ft. of pipe termination).

 Check for the correct clearances for future maintenance access. Example: Demister
trapped under roof? Ensure there is enough clearance to service.

 All pipes clean. The vent pipe is part of the turbine lube oil system.
23
Caterpillar: Confidential Green
 Lubricating Oil System

 Inspect off-skid pipes, vents, drains and coolers per drawing. Solar strongly
recommends stainless steel piping to ensure a clean oil system.

 Lube system per drawing? Note position of orifice plates in supply lines, if used.

 Install loose ship items (optional).

 Verify that all filter elements are correctly installed in all filter housings.

 Visually check all pumps for proper rotation and pressure to ensure arrows are not wrong.

 Check logic for proper lube oil pump operation under all operating conditions. Example:
Ten second time delay in logic before backup pump starts after a power failure.

Lubricating Oil Flushing

 See ES 2184 Cleaning and Flushing of Hydraulic Systems Components.

 Check L/O tanks for water or debris.

 Lube Oil Coolers provided by U.S. companies are certified to be flushed but take a close
look inside their ports.

 Cheaper flushing oil can be used, but care must be taken that the oil is compatible with
the oil used for service. Any residual flushing oil left in the system will also dilute and
degrade the service oil. The oil supplier should be able to address the oil compatibility
issue. The oil used for service must also be filtered to achieve the required oil
cleanliness.

The service oil can be used for flushing the package and off skid system, and most of the
time this oil is still serviceable for package operation. Steps taken to clean the site
erected piping, use of clean assembly and preservation practices, removal of any water
used for hydro testing, etc., will increase the possibility of using the service oil for
flushing and service. Some of the additives in the oil's additive package such as the anti
foam additive may coat new metal surfaces or have a polar bond and get tied up with
water. The oil supplier should be queried about how to determine if the oil is still suitable
for use.

Usually AC motor driven main lube oil pumps provide enough flow capacity so they can
be used for flushing. The pre/post pumps can provide enough flow for many line sizes.
The main concern will be the pressure drop through the flushing loop and whether the
pre/post pumps can provide enough flow to be used for flushing. Another concern is the
modifications required to the package piping to be able to use the package pumps for
flushing the off skid piping, etc., without including the package piping in the flush loop.

24
Caterpillar: Confidential Green
  Always use external filters for flushing. The on-skid filters are not suitable
for this purpose. Ideal is 3 micron filters but 5 micron will do as well. Check
viscosity and flow parameters to determine filter size.
 It is most important to use a 3-micron filter for filling the lube oil tank.

Alignment

 Must be done prior to installing/connecting headers and inlet/exhaust system ducting. On

Titan and Mars, install exhaust bellows per alignment section of MI drawing before
alignment.

 Lubricate bearings. Temporary power supply to lube oil pump can help.
 Final alignment after header and piping.
 Start with fixed component (Compressor/Gearbox). Follow instructions in MI drawing.

 Use proper tooling.

 Check total distances first and last.

 On Generators, magnetic center on the generator must be used.

 Inspect magnetic speed pickups.

 Install interconnect shafts and housings.

 Check coupling vents and drains.

 Remove flexible disc coupling locks-crews (red/yellow) and save for future use. Follow
vendor drawing. Kop-Flex coupling will fail if screws are left in.

Enclosure and Ancillary Equipment

 To prevent failures with the Quantum Premier controller, pull the fuse out of UCP for
Quantum Controller. Then the controller will not be powered up until all welding,
cabling, termination work and loop check are finished. If possible, put the fire system as
the last commissioning task after finishing all other loop checks and before starting up the
turbine.

 Verify interface between skids and loose ship items.

 Verify air filter wire routing. Do this early.

 Inspect electrical equipment and lighting. Connect enclosure lights.

 Inspect installation and operation of enclosure ventilation system, motor rotation, etc.
25
Caterpillar: Confidential Green
  Inspect fire system for correct mechanical installation. (On and Off skid)

 Inspect gas detection system for correct mechanical installation.

 Inspect fire shutter system for correct mechanical installation.

 Cover fire eyes during construction.

Package Drain and Vent Systems

 Inspect all drains per drawing/specification.

 Flame arresters are installed per drawing. Standard is installed vertical. Horizontal
installation is optional and requires a drain to tank be installed.

 Think Safety. No rain hat on pneumatic start vent. Pay attention to where it is venting.

 Do not allow PCD/exhaust overboard to vent to combustibles.

Make sure oil tank drain shutoff valve is fitted.

No hand valves are to be installed in drain lines with no back pressure requirement.

26
Caterpillar: Confidential Green
 Electrical Ground System

 Check that all equipment is grounded per spec/drawing.

 The I/S ground must be directly connected to that ground point. Physical earth (PE) and
instrument earth could be connected together if the location has a good, clean ground.

Intrinsically Safe (I/S) barriers depend on a potential free ground.

It is best not to tie grounds together at the console. They should leave the console
to the customer ground as three different ground cables.

Battery Chargers, 24 and 120 VDC

 Ensure site has correct A.C. voltage to charger and correct charger part number. Do this
early. Check jumpers in the battery charger for proper input voltage setup.

 Verify that chargers are installed/operating per drawing manuals and that batteries are
filled to the proper level.

 Check float rate/high rate set points. Most chargers are factory set for lead acid batteries.
See SB 5.9/103A.

 Inspect interconnect to turbine systems and consoles.

First NiCad charging. The vents will be closed during charging. The first
charging should be made at a constant current. The recommended current is 0.2 x
C amperes, where C is the rated battery capacity in ampere-hours. Multiplying
the charge rate times the charge time gives the total charge in ampere-hours. A 10
hour charging period at a 0.2 x C rate will give the recommended charge of 2 x C
ampere-hours. Other charging current rates between 50% and 150% of the
recommended charging current may be used if the charge time period is adjusted
to still give the recommended total charge of 2 x C ampere-hours. In most cases,
the rectifier high-rate or boost charging voltage is not high enough to keep the
charging current at the recommended level during the whole charging period.
Most chargers provided by Solar are current limited at approximately 110% of the
nameplate ampere rating. In this case, connect the charger to only 2 of the cells
provided. The charging period and recommended constant current remain
unchanged. The current limiting feature of the battery charger will adjust the
voltage as required. Repeat the process for the second half.

Example: Solar part number 120362-100 is a 256 ampere-hour 10-block battery

assembly. The recommended first charge process is a current of 51 amperes
(0.2 x 256) for 10 hours for a total of 512 ampere-hours (2 x 256 or 10x51).
Charge 5 block (1/2 of 10) at 51 amperes for 10 hours or any other rate and
27

Caterpillar: Confidential Green

 time combination between 25 amperes (50% of 51) and 76 amperes (150% 0f
51) that produces a total of battery performance.

 Wait at least two hours after charging before adjusting the electrolyte level.
Electrolyte should be added or removed so that the cell oil surface reaches the maximum
level line.

 The battery is now ready for use. No electrolyte should be added later. For normal
topping, only distilled or deionized water should be used.

Main Control Console

 Check for grounds / gross errors before console power-up.

 Install low watt heater system to dry out console, if required

 Disconnect all PC boards - i.e., swing arms, to protect them during welding.

 Inspect for correct D.C. polarity and voltage from battery chargers.
Example: 120 AC/DC on 24 DC will cause smoke

 Tag out heaters, coolers, pumps and valves prior to powering up the console.

 Check for separate power source to backup board if supply is customer provided.

 Check total interconnect length and wire sizes.

 Record Series and Rev numbers of all cards for your records.
 Inspect interconnects.

 Disconnect fire CO2 system control heads.

 Power up the console. Install As-shipped software.

 Perform power-on loop checks. Highlight schematic as each loop is checked.

 Perform static checkout of all systems. Such as:

1. Temperature and pressure systems.

2. Speed systems.
3. Vibration system.
4. Fire system.
5. Gas detection system.
6. Surge system.
7. Yard valves.

 Ensure correct strainer installed. See S.B. 2.1/106A.

 Inspect for clean gas supply system. If clean gas is not guaranteed, recommend customer
to install 10-micro filter and advise fuel injectors are not fuel filters.

 Check for correct pressure and temperature of gas at skid edge per drawing.

Water Injection System. The seal used in the CAT pump requires a few drops of a light oil (3-
in-1) once a month or it will leak. Option is to install grease fittings and grease.

CCC/ PECC Valves. Before proceeding, check these Service Bulletins that pertain to CCC/
PECC Fuel valves: 5.0/111A, 5.1/140, 5.9/104B. Also see 3.1/109 about signal loss due to
welding, etc.

Enclosure Fire and Suppression System

 Inspect all interconnects, console, skid and bottles.

 Function test system but stop before discharging bottles.

 Open loading valve manually and purge skid. Close the vent valve and pressurize the skid
in steps. Stop at several points and check for leaks or other problems.
 Verify that the seal oil and lube oil pumps start as soon as gas pressure starts to build up.
 Hold pressure for ½ hour. Check for correct seal oil and buffer gas pressure.
 Depressurize system.

Generator Sets

 LOCKOUT procedure is in place and followed. Ensure it is adequate.

 Ensure during alignment that the “Hub to Hub” distance is first set with the generator
shaft positioned at its magnetic center. Recheck this distance when taking final alignment
readings. Check drawing/manual for coupling and shear bolt installation. Verify correct
orifice is in seal air line.

 Visually check the main generator breaker compartment for cable terminations and
cleanliness. Breaker must be racked out during installation and pre-commissioning
checks.

 Check ratios and polarity of all Current and Potential Transformers and verify with all
electrical drawings. Check all site drawings. CT’s and PT’s are often wrong. Cross-
current CT shielding have a common ground. See Flick test.

 Ensure that the CT’s are properly terminated before shorting blocks for the CT’s are
removed.
 Ensure that all generator metering instrumentation shorts have been removed. Remove
shorting wires from console instruments.

 Check that the generator/switchgear have been meggered, inspected and certified for
startup. Verify the safety barrier/shutters function when the main circuit breaker is
removed. NOTE: follow manufacturer’s recommendations for meggering.
 Verify that space heaters are OK.

 Double check all wiring after all contractor hook-ups, and yellow-out drawings. Verify
that all jumpers are installed that should be installed. Ensure that the H.V. switchgear
protection has been calibrated and functionally checked on-site. It is preferred that
calibration be done by 3rd party or switchgear vendor.

 Verify the main circuit breaker trips when the switchgear protection relays trip.
Differential protection must use a “Fast Stop,” when the unit shutdowns occur (usually
on a common shutdown signal form the unit control console).

 Verify that phase rotation of generator phase is the same as utility/plant phase rotation to
tie phasing, ABC or CBA etc. Have a High Voltage contractor Hot Stick if possible.

 Check generator speed mode of operation, Droop or Isoch. Familiarize yourself with
both modes of operation and set speed Droop, if required. Set multiple units in Voltage
Droop. Check voltage ISOCH/DROOP.

 Verify exciter breaker closed (CB260).

 Verify LSM setup. Verify setup is same configuration (Delta or WYE) as switchgear,
ratios match hardware.

 For load sharing, verify wiring of K219-1A, especially if there is more than one unit. If
more than one unit, check wiring of cross current CT’s and PT’s for power factor/Kvar
control/ratios etc.

 For first Sync, close breaker in test position. Verify autosync calibration is correct.

 LSM load share lines installed correctly, especially shields. NOTE: New voltage
regulator - special resistors - might not match. Consult controls engineer.

 Ensure load gains are set correctly. Will vary per controlling devices.

 Verify generator lube system settings are correct. Set vents with doors closed on
enclosure. See generator vendor literature.

 Review Battery Chargers section. Lead or NiCad type. See SB 5.9/103A. Ensure
battery charger matches battery type. Initial NiCad charge requires special procedure.

 Verify and set purge time to reflect exhaust system. See SB 3.0/105D.
