West Point Generator Control System Repair

1. PROJECT SUMMARY:

The Caterpillar 3512B (1230KW) in the central power plant is no longer capable of automatically starting as it was at the completion of the Generator #1 Control System Upgrade. The reason for the generator being unable start automatically is due to the changes made at Substation B. Reprogramming the automatic control system in the central power plant will be required to return black start capability to the Caterpillar 3512B.

Additional work on the generator and/or commercial busses may be required as well.

2. SCOPE OF WORK:

The contractor will provide the necessary field service personnel, tools, materials and approved test equipment to perform the scope of work as described herein. The contractor shall review the existing PLC and HMI screens and make an onsite visit to understand the current state of the system.

No electrical or mechanical field work will be performed.

3. COMPLETION:

Upon completion of the software research and investigation, the contractor will supply a field report highlighting the findings and recommendations for how to restore the black-start capabilities of the caterpillar 3512B. Any additional findings that may impact the function of the Caterpillar 3512B should also be included in the report.

4. DELIVERY:

The scheduling of work will be mutually agreed upon between the Government and the contractor.
