10) This relates to the competency standard unit as a whole, providing the range of contexts and conditions to which the Performance Criteria apply. It allows for different work environments and situations that will affect performance.Equipment may include machines, circuit breakers, tap changers, protection settings, capacitor/condenser banks, switch gear, generators and transformers.Safety standards may include relevant sections of Occupational Health and Safety legislation, enterprise safety rules, relevant State and federal legislation, national standards for plant and environmental legislation.Information and documentation sources may include verbal or written communications; enterprise safety rules documentation; enterprise operating instructions; dedicated computer equipment; enterprise/site standing and operating instructions; enterprise log books; manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manuals; and equipment and alarm manuals.Technical and operational indicators may include stimuli, local indicators and recorders, computers and alarms (visible and or audible).Communications may be by means of telephone, two way radio, pager, public address system, computer (electronic mail) and operating log (written or verbal).Appropriate personnel to consult, give or receive direction may include supervisor/team leader or equivalent, power plant operations personnel or equivalent, technical and engineering officers or equivalent, maintenance staff, other operating staff or equivalent, system controller/network controller, field operator and restricted HV operators.Operations may be continuous operation or during inclement or otherwise harsh weather conditions or during night periods.Faults and abnormal operating conditions may include control equipment failure/malfunctions, loss of electrical supply to plant and equipment, loss of transmission components, system limitations due to location, weather conditions, natural disasters, accidents, temperature and power swings.Key indicators may include voltage, current, reactive power flows, load, equipment, loading limits and system node points.Voltage control may include synchronous compensatory, generation VAR output, capacitor/condenser, tap changers and system configuration.System integrity may include machine and system instability, transmission line and transformer overloading, incorrect tap changer position, protection settings, voltage transformer selection, synchronising, required load shedding and capacitor/condenser bank selection.Operational pre-requisites may include switching programmes, pre-operational checks and plant status.Generic terms are used throughout this Training Package for vocational standard shall be regarded as part of the Range Statement in which competency is demonstrated. The definition of these and other terms are given in Section 2.1 Preliminary Information and Glossaries. |
