CONTROLLING OF “VAR” FROM DCS - REPORT + DATE: 23-05-2016 ESSAR ABSTRACT: As per the requirement of operation, VAR control of generator should be from DCS. In order to achieve this, the provision of controlling VAR from DCS has been taken in line as per the schedule (D0911) provided by HPE and the work has carried out against the permit (60070820). ACTION: © Reactive power (VAR) controlling from DCS wire was identified and found disconnected from the AVR panel at (X10:3 & X10:53 and X10:4 & X10:54) and DCS panel it was connected at 8CD (TB6-2 & TB6-3) & 8CD (TB6-6 & TB6-7), © Then healthiness of the wire has been checked and found healthy. © Before connecting the wire at the respective TB's, Lower & Raise command given from the DCS and checked the timing of the pulse at the respective end of the wire, It was matching with the actual set point which is 0.5s. © After ensuring that everything was normal, the VAR control wire has been connected at respective TB's at AVR panel, FROMPANEL |TBNO__—*(| TOPANEL _—*| TBNO [ PURPOSE ‘AVR PANEL, DCS PANE- ‘8CD (TB6-2) VAR RAISE _| 10CBE42 SCD (TB6-3)__ | 8CD (TB6-6) VAR LOWER SCD (TB6-7)_ OBSERVATION: VAR raise & Lower command given from the DCS end and the respective variations are found normal.

CONCLUSION: VAR raise & lower command from DCS has been taken in line as per the schedule and same has been cross verified with Team operation & C&l. The variation of VAR with respect to the command is found normal. It has been done for the feasibility to maintain the Generator VAR in the capability limit. a G (2 daar Gace Was ‘eam Electrical 5 8 0) ee
