1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This document is designed to verify the generator control systems functions to support normal drilling
operations, and to minimize redundant controls testing.
This document defines the commissioning requirements for fully installed, operational equipment, and
demonstrates the capability of the systems to perform their functions as designed.
AT
All functions defined in this document must be verified prior to commissioning.

1.2 How To Use This Procedure
ite
R
This document describes the procedure for one generator section. A copy of the procedure should be
FO
m
printed out for each generator section, and completed accordingly.
Li
The front sheet of this document can be used as a cover sheet for each generator procedure. Enter the
Y
generator number in the box provided.
C rv lec
AN
Parts of the procedure require that other generator sections are available for testing, therefore it is not
possible to complete the entire procedure for one generator without partially commissioning at least one
R se re
O ed
other section. It is not a requirement of this procedure that the testing be completed in a linear and
IN
uninterrupted fashion.
O re nt
E ts Co
PY
A blank punch list is provided at the end of this document which may be used to record items requiring
rectification. It may be copied as many times as required and added to the procedure for each generator.
U gh 7
It is a matter of judgement for the commissioning engineer whether or not testing may continue with issues
D ri 1
outstanding.
O ll 20
Finally, section 4.12 contains a declaration that all test have been satisfactorily completed and must be
signed by the senior commissioning engineer, customer representative and certifying authority
R A
The switchboard includes 4 generator sections, each equipped with the following essential equipment:
yr
The generators sections are interconnected by a 600V, 6000A 3-phase busbar system. Each generator
D
section is capable of full operation without the PLC controller being present or energised.
Synchronisation of the generators to the main bus is achieved through a common, remote synchronising
panel.
2 TESTING PREREQUISITES
2.1 General
Prior to commencing commissioning operations, all parties involved must ensure that the required testing
conditions have been met and that all required equipment and materials are on hand and made available to
commissioning personnel.
2.2 Safety Pre-Checks
AT
The commissioning personnel must conduct a pre-commissioning safety meeting to address all safety
M
issues, and to ensure all participants have a complete understanding of the scope of the procedure.
d
ite
R
All non-essential personnel must stay clear of the test location for the duration of the commissioning
FO
procedures.
m
All commissioning personnel must wear standard protective equipment.
Li
Y
All participants shall be aware of potential environmental hazards during all phases of the procedure.
C rv lec
AN
Ensure that proper precautions are taken to minimise the impact of any environmental hazard encountered.
Any member of the test team may stop the testing at any point should danger to personnel, the
R se re
O ed
environment, or equipment exist.
IN
O re nt
Verify all bus work is clear of any debris and tools before powering up.
E ts Co
PY
Ensure that the engine overspeed, emergency stops and any other mechanical protection systems have
been verified and are fully operational.
U gh 7
Verify all outgoing feeder breakers and isolators are open status before applying power to the main bus.

Remove all fuses connected to the 600V busbar in all switchboard sections.
All personnel must follow the appropriate lock out/tag out procedures.

3 COMMISSIONING OUTLINE
The commissioning procedure for each generator section is outlined as follows
Turn the engine over using the starter and verify the presence of the excitation voltage from the
Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG).
If sufficient residual magnetism is present, the phase rotation of the main generator connections to
the incoming circuit breaker is verified.
AT
Confirm the presence of engine speed feedback signals.
M
d
Start the engine and verify that voltage excitation build-up.

R
Confirm that voltage regulation is operational and stable.
FO
