INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL

8.1

Introduction

This Section describes the technical requirements for the supply and installation of
instrumentation and control (I&C) for the open cycle power plant. All I&C equipment necessary to allow
the safe and efficient operation of the power plant shall be supplied, installed, commissioned and
tested.
Gas turbine generators (GTGs) and ancillary equipment, a hydrogen plant and ancillary
equipment and a CEMS system together with all associated I&C equipment and systems will be
supplied under a separate contact by Contractor A. Contractor B will be responsible for interfacing to
and/or integrating these I&C systems into the DCS and other control/monitoring systems being supplied
to provide an integrated system for the control and monitoring of the power plant.
The DCS will provide control, monitoring, alarming, trending, logging, archiving and data
acquisition and storage for the gas turbines and associated equipment for each combined cycle block.
A consistent control, instrumentation and data acquisition philosophy shall be applied
throughout the power plant. The objective shall be to standardize all equipment, wherever possible,
throughout the power plant in order to rationalize operation, maintenance and reduce spare parts. In
general, all equipment shall be of modern compact design, incorporating proven technology and
supplied from one composite range as marketed by a reputable international manufacturer. The DCS
Vendor shall be from a short list of reputed manufacturers approved by SEC.
The hardware and software for DCS shall be the latest available at the time of system
installation. The latest system software version shall be made available for all units prior to the
completion of warranty period so as to have an identical and latest software version for all systems of
the plant.
Contractor B shall be responsible for liaising with Contractor A and Owner (SEC) to obtain
all data and information necessary to allow for the design, build and commission of his I&C systems,
DCS and interfaces required to connect to Contractor As equipment and SEC existing equipment.

Scope of supply

The extent of supply described shall be the minimum necessary to achieve the required
objectives and shall consist of, as a minimum, the following:
a.

Complete control, protection and monitoring systems for the plant being provided
including the fuel systems, gas detection, fire detection, common services and
