INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL

8.1

Introduction

This Section describes the technical requirements for the supply and
installation of instrumentation and control (I&C) for Contract C which covers the
conversion of an open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) power plant to a combined cycle
gas turbine (CCGT) power plant together with all necessary auxiliary plant and
the supply of a desalination plant. All I&C equipment necessary to allow the safe
and efficient operation of the power plant shall be supplied, installed,
commissioned and tested.
The OCGT power plant is being installed at the Qurayyah site. It
consists of fifteen (15) GE Frame 7FA gas turbines together with their necessary
ancillary plant and common services. As part of the OCGT plant supply a DCS,
communication systems, CCTV, access and intruder systems, fire/gas detection,
training simulator and protection systems and other common services are being
supplied by Contractor B. It will be the responsibility of Contractor C to expand
these common systems to accommodate his requirements and to provide an
integrated system for the control and monitoring of the CCGT power plant.
The existing DCS shall be extended to provide control, monitoring,
alarming, trending, logging, archiving and data acquisition and storage for the
gas turbines, HRSGs, steam turbines and associated equipment for each
combined cycle block and common plant systems and desalination plant.
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.
Contractor C shall expand the existing DCS to provide control and
monitoring of equipment in his supply. To ensure compatibility and long term
maintainability of the DCS, Contractor C shall use the same manufacturer of DCS
as installed in the OCGT plant for his extension. The DCS hardware shall be the
latest released version at the time of purchase order issue to DCS vendor, and
the DCS software shall be the latest released version at the time of vendors
software freeze for the last shipped DCS. 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 C shall be responsible for liaising with Contractor B and the
Engineer/ Owner (SEC) to obtain all data and information necessary to allow for
the design, build and commission of his I&C systems, DCS extension and
APPROVED
