1.1 Purpose of this Document


This document shall give an overview of the “Wet-” Commissioning activities of Xayaburi Project. It is meant to
be a guide to the complete Commissioning Team either of the Contractors Andritz Hydro as well as of the Cus-
tomer CHK, GOL-E and any of their contracted third parties, without a definite requirement and /or must to per-
form the tests in the same sequence as listed in this document. The respective commissioning engineer of the
Contractor Andritz Hydro is entitled to change the sequence of tests in case it is required due to technical or op-
erational circumstances; this applies especially to short-term changes. Any such change will be communicated
to and coordinated with the entire commissioning team, principally on-site during the upcoming regular Com-
missioning Coordination Meetings. Depending on the operational possibilities of the installation to be tested
some tests can be performed with modified test settings that will be evaluated by the Contractors commission-
ing engineers. For performance of tests the applicable approved standards, essentially IEC Publications shall be
observed.

1.2 General Conditions


All relevant data (bearing vibration, temperatures, pressure & flow measurements, current & voltage measure-
ments etc.) will be monitored and recorded throughout the whole wet testing period.
For details to the tests listed in this document please refer to the latest, actual revision of the relevant Site Test
Procedure / Inspection Test Plan (ITP) / Test Record Sheet.
For electrical tests also refer to the relevant Single Line Diagrams.
All sketches, drawings and pictures in this document are for information only and might not be fully in accord-
ance with the latest revision of the original document.

1.3 Special Conditions

2.1.1.2 Pre-Condition
 Joint inspection of waterways downstream and upstream done, all works finalized and no foreign ob-
jects inside.
 All manholes and openings are closed.
 Semi-spiral case dewatering valve is OPEN (connection to draft tube).
 Draft tube dewatering valve is CLOSED.
 Turbine ready for filling, wicket gate and runner slightly opened.
 Stand-still shaft seal (maintenance seal) is applied.
 Drainage and dewatering system ready for operation (in auto-mode). Sluice gate between the dewater-
ing pits is open.
 De-aeriation must be available and functional.

2.1.1.3 Performance of Test


The filling process has to be discussed and agreed by all involved parties before any activity is started.
Safety precaution:
 Generator brakes have to be applied during the filling process.
 During water filling no access to rotor is allowed.
Filling of draft tube and semi-spiral case through draft tube filling valves until tail water level is reached. The op-
eration of the filling valves is under responsibility of P2. The velocity is defined and controlled by the two draft
tube filling valves installed at upper draft tube stop-log with diameter 240mm each.
During filling of draft tube and semi-spiral case a permanent check for water leakages at suction cone, turbine
pit and manhole covers shall be performed.
Stop of the filling process and start of dewatering must be possible at any time.
The filling is complete when turbine and waterways are filled with water up to actual downstream water level and
the air is vented.

2.1.2 Draft Tube Dewatering Test (First Unit only)
According to Contract Exhibit IV Particular Technical Specification, Volume 3, Part 2 of 3, Section 4.15 Drainage
and Dewatering System a ‘Performance Test’ of the dewatering system has to be performed:
‘The complete dewatering of intake, semi-spiral case and draft tube of one Generating Unit shall be possible
within 10 hours’.
There are two interconnected drainage & dewatering pits installed, each pit is equipped with 4 pumps.
For the dewatering test 5 pumps are required: 4 in permanent operation and one in alternating operation.
Rated power of one pump is 285kW, therefore the power demand for the dewatering test is 1425kW. For the
whole duration of the test a sufficient, uninterrupted power supply must be ensured.

2.1.2.1 Pre-Conditions
 Drainage and dewatering systems have been tested and commissioned according to respective
documents:
XB-P3-PH-I-4150-0411 drainage & dewatering ITP
XB-P3-PH-Q-4150-9700 drainage & dewatering Test Procedure
 Filling of waterways successfully performed according to chapter 2.1.1 of this document.
 Sluice gates at interconnection between pump sumps are open (normal operating condition)
 Draft tube stop-logs are still in initial position and have not been lifted (also not temporary/partially).
 Intake Gate still in closed position.
 Leakage water drained to the dewatering pits from all other Generating Units within acceptable (negligible)
range - otherwise additional dewatering time needs to be considered accordingly).
Remark: It is essential for this test to ensure that intake gates and draft tube stop logs are not opened / moved
prior to the test. Any movement or ‘cracking’ might allow sand, flotsam or any other dirt from impounding getting
trapped at sealing surfaces, causing leakages and resulting in wrongly extended duration of dewatering.

ITP Pos.: 8250-0010 vibrations

3.2.2 Performance of Test


During ‘First Run Tests’ the run-out of the unit is checked. In case the recorded vibrations are too high balancing
weights have to be installed inside of the generator rotor. In any case the peak-peak value of the recorded vibra-
tions must not exceed 70% of total bearing clearance for turbine bearing respectively 50% of total bearing
clearance for generator bearings.
For balancing special safety rules have to be obeyed before entering into generator rotor:
 Generator brakes applied and secured against opening.
 Wicket Gate and Runner must be closed and blocked in closed position (ESD/QSD applied).
 Intake closed (optional).
Remark: Balancing in no-load condition can only be understood as ‘preliminary balancing’ with the intention to
bring the Generating Unit to a vibration range safe for operation during mechanical and electrical no-load tests.
Final balancing will be performed after synchronization during load operation, under consideration of the mag-
netic pull.

3.2.3 Conclusion
Balancing of Generating Unit was checked and is within acceptable limits for performance of mechanical and
electrical no-load tests.

4.4 2-Phase Short Circuit Tests (Type Tests)

4.4.1 General
The 2-phase short-circuit tests shall be performed on Generating Unit 1 only.
The following tests shall be performed:
 2-Phase Short Circuit Test for determination of negative sequence reactance X2 and negative sequence
resistance R2.
 2-Phase Short Circuit Test with Neutral Connection for determination of negative sequence reactance
X0 and negative sequence resistance R0.

4.4.2 Preparation

The test set-up in principle is the same as for the 3-phase short-circuit test. For one phase the disconnecting
link between bus-duct and shorting bar is removed.
For 2-phase + N short-circuit a cable connection has to be installed between shorting bar and generator neutral
point. The cable connection has to be suitable to carry 30% of the generator rated current (= 2165A) for the ex-
pected test duration of 10 minutes. The cable used for this connection should not have any shield or armour.

6.2 General
During the first part of open-circuit tests (i.e. recording of generator open circuit characteristic, protection tests) it
is not possible to supply the excitation transformer from the generator bus bar. Therefore a temporary power
supply for the excitation system is provided as described in Chapter 4.2.2.
For finalizing the Excitation Open Circuit Tests the temporary test supply will be removed and the final, perma-
nent power supply via Excitation transformer will be established (installation of flexible connectors between bus
duct and excitation transformer).

Remark: The Voltage Recovery Test described in Procedure XB-P3-PH-Q-2100-0330, Chapter 8.3.3 is a
‘Type Test’ and shall be performed together with the ‘Sudden Short Circuit Test’ of the Generating Unit – if re-
quired (refer to TC-P3-098).
See also Chapter 16.2 of this document.

6.3 Open-Circuit Test without Excitation


These tests shall be performed with residual voltage only.
Special care has to be taken since for this test it is necessary to enter into the generator barrel (‘generator ring
room’) with Generating Unit operated on nominal speed and generator terminal covers removed.
For safety reasons it is required two people to perform the test, uninterrupted communication via radio must be
ensured.

7 SYNCHRONIZING TESTS AND ENERGIZING OF MAIN TRANSFORMER

7.1 General
For performance of these tests a temporary external power supply for the excitation system is required as de-
scribed in chapter 4.2.2. of this document.
During energizing of the main transformer also both bus-bars shall be energized (for first generating unit only,
for all other generating units one bus-bar measurement is sufficient).
At nominal voltage a final check of all VT measurements required for synchronization have to be performed.
Since during the test all VT’s involved in synchronization are energized by a voltage from the same source, also
all the measurements must be equal (check voltage and phase angle on synchronizing device / synchro-check
relay, check phase sequence on VT terminals).

9.4.1 Purpose of this Test
This test shall be performed for determination of the Generator Direct-Axis Open Circuit Transient Time Con-
stant Tdo’ and Direct-Axis Open Circuit Sub-Transient Time Constant Tdo’’ .
Basically there are two methods for determination of Tdo’ and Tdo’’:
 Field Current Decay Test
 Voltage Recovery Test

The Field Current Decay Test is requested by the EGAT PPA. It is possible to perform this test on each generat-
ing unit.
In case Field Current Decay test proves as not practicable, Voltage Recovery Test could be performed instead.
In this case the test shall be performed as a Type Test on Unit 1 only together with the ‘Sudden Short-Circuit
Test’ since the test set-up is identical.
Voltage Recovery Test set-up and performance is described in Chapter ‘16.2 Voltage Recovery Test’ of this
document.

 Electric protection functions must remain active (especially Reverse Power Trip).

12.5.3 Performance of Test


 Closing of Intake gate via Emergency Closing command.
 Verify pressure and noise.
 Once Intake Gate is fully closed → immediately unblock Wicket Gate and Runner.
 In case of any unforeseen event or problem at Intake Gates (unbalanced closing or blocking etc.)
→ immediately unblock Wicket Gate and Runner.

12.5.4 Final Activities


 Unblock all electrical functions that had been blocked for this test (hard wired, software, sequence
from Control etc.) and confirm proper function.

12.5.5 Conclusion
The Intake Gate Emergency Shut-Down Test has been performed and completed with satisfying results for all
the involved systems in accordance with the test procedures listed above.
