Nothing much to write for today but today's activity is the most interesting activity which is chimney climbing. There was damage to the warning light (red light) at the chimney GT3. We are allowed to follow the technicians to change the light, Mr. Narasid and Mr. Kamal. After wearing all safety equipment, we start to climb the chimney lead by Mr. Narasid.

Today SHEQ month programme continue with Environment awareness talk. All the staff including internship students involved in this programme. The talk have two session. Morning session was from 9.00a.m ~ 12.00p.m and for evening session was from 2.30p.m ~4.00p.m. The Morning session was about prudent development - a shared of responsibility. In developing a project, TNB will prioritize environmental aspects first. If all the environment is taken into account, then the project can proceed and for the evening session was all about environment awareness plus understand about global warming. A little info about global warming:

a) Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent.

b) Seen from space, our atmosphere is but a tiny layer of gas around a huge bulky planet. But it is this gaseous outer ring and its misleadingly called greenhouse effect that makes life on Earth possible – and that could destroy life as we know it.

c) Greenhouse gases: life givers and life takers ~ etc: Carbon dioxide is the most important man-made warming agent!!

Followed the technician to do some checking @ maintenance on transformer oil sampling. The maintenance is handle by TXM Services Sdn Bhd.

In the same way a blood test can provide a doctor with a wealth of information about their patient, taking an oil sample enables service engineers to learn a great deal about the condition of a transformer. The purpose of the oil checking is to determine the moisture in the oil, dielectric, the presence of acid and etc. Oil testing is a critical process it can be done before the transformer start-up, during a routine transformer inspection or in any circumstances indicating possibility of damage to the transformer, particularly when a protective device is triggered. To collect an oil sample a sampling valve located near the bottom of the tank is used. Transformer oil is a hygroscopic substance and must be protected from contact with moisture. It is therefore important to place the collected oil sample in a clean dry container.

Oil Treatment Guidelines

Following are the oil treatment guidelines which can prolong the life of transformer and save a company thousands of dollars:

• Purify when the acid level is still low, i.e. <0.1>
• Regenerate preferably from 0.1 mg KOH/g oil to avoid precipitation of sludge
• Desludge when the acid level is >0.20 mg KOH/g oil
• Dry-out when the solid insulation is wet >3.5 % MDW

The oil will be tested in lab and if the oil not reach the standard, normally they will do reclamation.

7th April & 8th April 2010

We went to Central Control Room a.k.a CCR. That place is the place control everything and monitoring everything at power plant. So, we not allowed to capture any picture because of national security. There, we spent a lot of time learned about the system they use and how all the stuff in CCR operate (alarm systems, monitoring system and etc). After that we learned what is single line diagram. At Putrajaya Power Station have 2 types of single line which are SAG (Siemens) single line diagram (for GT1 & GT2) and GE single line diagram (for GT3, GT4 & GT5). It generates about 650MW and connected to the national grid under the command of NLDC in Bangsar.
