Conducting the Test Clause Samples
Conducting the Test. 1.3.1 The DELTA-T Test Coordinator shall be provided with operating data by the OWNER sufficient to verify that the PLANT is operating at a condition suitable for initiation of the PERFORMANCE TEST. At the scheduled start time of the PERFORMANCE TEST, the DELTA-T Test Coordinator will signal that the test has formally begun and will direct operators to take the initial test measurements. The test will be conducted over a three-day (72 hour) period of operation. During the Test period, the PLANT shall be operated by the OWNER in compliance with the instructions of DELTA-T and the Delta-T Operations Manual and instructions provided by DELTA-T, including, without limitation, adjustments in temperatures, pressures, feedstock rates, steam flow, and other process control inputs, provided these adjustments do not result in unsafe operating conditions. PLANT operators will monitor and record operating data according to standard procedures and in addition will record the supplemental data specified in this protocol on data sheets in the form to be provided by DELTA-T. Records will be developed from permanent plant equipment that is calibrated immediately prior to test. All test measurements will be reviewed by the Test Coordinator (or a designated representative). If the Test Coordinator believes that there might be a problem with the measurement method or reading, the reading will be retaken and verified by the Test Coordinator and OWNER’S Representative. Immediately upon the conclusion of the PERFORMANCE TEST, the Test Coordinator will meet with representatives of OWNER to review the test results. DELTA-T and OWNER shall each be given a copy of the test results. If the Performance Guarantees have been met, then OWNER shall promptly issue a notice to DELTA-T to such effect. If the PERFORMANCE TESTS have not been met, then OWNER shall issue a written notice to DELTA-T within one (1) day of completion of the PERFORMANCE TESTS indicating in what manner such Performance Guarantees have not been successfully completed.
1.3.2 If the 72-hour test period is interrupted for any reason within DELTA-T’s control or OWNER’S control, a new three-day test period will resume after the cause for the interruption has been corrected and the PLANT has achieved an acceptable operating capacity at substantially the same rate immediately prior to the interruption. DELTA-T and OWNER shall stop the PERFORMANCE TEST if it becomes obvious that it cannot be carried to a satisfactory conclusi...
Conducting the Test. Capacity and thermal performance testing will be conducted by Seller and witnessed by Buyer at its discretion.
5.1 A minimum of three test points will be conducted on each unit. Each test point will be conducted with the gas turbine power equipment and all test instrumentation functioning satisfactorily and in a steady-state condition with evaporative coolers in service and with the ▇▇▇▇ V control system indicating that the unit is at base load. Prior to and during each test point, the gas turbine wheel space temperatures will be monitored individually to verify thermal stability. The gas turbine will be considered in a steady state condition when each turbine wheel space temperature changes by no more than 5EF over a fifteen minute period. The unit thermal stability will be documented by print-outs from the unit control system.
5.2 In accordance with ASME PTC-22 (1997), additional parameters will be monitored during each test point to verify that the system is in a steady state condition. These parameters and corresponding limits of variation are listed in the following table: Table: Steady-State Conditions Summary Turbine Wheelspace Temperature (each) Prior to and during test point n/a May not change more than 5EF over any 15 minute period Ambient Temperature During test point ± 4/o/F Variation from test point average may not exceed limit Wet Bulb Temperature During test point ± 3/o/F Variation from test point average may not exceed limit Gross Power Output During test point ± 2.0% Variation from test point average may not exceed limit Barometric Pressure During test point ± 0.5% Variation from test point average may not exceed limit
5.3 In accordance with ASME PTC-22 (1997), each test point will be conducted over a thirty minute time period. Data will be recorded at five minute intervals (or more frequently) throughout the duration of the test point for a minimum of seven complete sets of instrument readings. No test point should exceed thirty minutes nor should the data recording interval exceed ten minutes.
