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.Plant and equipment may include turbines including Kaplan, Pelton and Francis type turbines, auxiliary plant and equipment; governor and associated hydraulic circuits; auxiliary plant; computer with equipment control functions; supervisory, alarm and control equipment; condition monitoring equipment, electrical motors, fans and pumps; electrical supply and distribution systems; valves and dampers (electric, hydraulic, pneumatic and manual); lubrication and oil conditioning systems; fire protection equipment; heat exchangers, filters and strainers; transformers; water drainage systems; and environmental protective systems.Safety standards may include relevant sections of Occupational Health and Safety legislation, enterprise safety rules, Australian standards, national standards for plant and relevant State, and federal legislation and enterprise safety procedures and practices.Information and documentation sources may include verbal or written communications; enterprise safety rules documentation; enterprise operating instructions; manufacturer’s operational and maintenance manuals; equipment and alarm manuals, enterprise log books, dedicated computer equipment, enterprise standing instructions and plant notes; enterprise standing instructions and plant notes.Technical and operational indicators may include stimuli (audio, smell, touch, visual), remote or local indicators and recorders, computers and alarms (visible and or audible).Communications may be by means of telephone, two way radio, pager, computer (electronic mail) and operating log (written or verbal).Tests may include loss of a major auxiliary controls response checks, trip test; stand-by plant “cut-in” tests, valves operating checks, turbine valve and emergency governor operation test, pre-start tests, performance tests, heater leak checks and alarm and protection tests.Appropriate personnel to consult, give or receive direction may include supervisor/team leader or equivalent; other coordinators of energy production or equivalent; technical and engineering officers or equivalent; maintenance staff; other operating staff and contractor staff.Operating environment may be remote from plant and equipment being operated; where operation is assisted by remote indicators of plant status and other parameters monitored; in wet/noisy/dusty/hot areas, during night periods; and during inclement or otherwise harsh weather conditions.Faults and abnormal operating conditions may include loss of a major auxiliary; loss of electrical supply to auxiliaries (a.c. or d.c.); high turbine bearing temperatures/vibration; high/low bearing oil temperature; loss of turbine bearing oil flow/pressure; low/high pressure heaters malfunctions; actuator/valve mechanical/ electrical faults/failure; failed field devices; and turbine protection.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. |
