Key Activities Led by Global Elite O&M for TK1 and TK2 Refurbishment

01

Comprehensive Inspection and Preparation

  • Conducted detailed inspections of the generator units, identifying critical issues such as damaged stator cores in TK2 and vibration issues in TK1.
  • Supervised the cleaning and preservation of disassembled generator components to ensure readiness for refurbishment.

02

Component Replacement and Repairs

  • Oversaw the replacement of damaged stator cores in TK2, working in collaboration with TDPS to ensure precision alignment.
  • Guided the repair and replacement of turbine components in TK1, such as guide vane bushings and runner labyrinths, to resolve vibration issues.

03

Testing and Commissioning Leadership

  • Coordinated and conducted testing and commissioning (T&C) processes for both units, including vibration analysis and load rejection tests.
  • Verified operational readiness through successful insulation resistance, winding resistance, and Tan Delta tests.

04

Emergency Response Team Deployment

  • Managed immediate response teams to address unforeseen challenges during refurbishment, ensuring minimal delays.

05

Collaboration with OEMs and Vendors

  • Actively engaged with OEMs like TDPS and Global Hydro for the design, manufacturing, and installation of critical components.
  • Facilitated vendor support for advanced diagnostic tools and technical expertise.

06

Implementation of Advanced Maintenance Protocols

  • Introduced enhanced monitoring systems for vibration, temperature, and sediment impact to prevent future issues.
  • Designed and implemented a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for sediment detection and flushing in water systems.

07

Workforce and Resource Optimization

  • Strategically allocated skilled personnel and resources, ensuring critical tasks were completed ahead of schedule.
  • Deployed real-time monitoring to adjust plans dynamically, reducing overall project duration.

08

Early Completion of Refurbishment Activities

  • Completed the installation of new stator cores for TK2 five days ahead of the planned timeline, minimizing downtime.
  • Accelerated post-repair testing for TK1, enabling the unit to return to operation earlier than expected.
