    Design & Implement Trash Rack Cleaning System

    Uploaded by

    DhapaDan
    This proposal summarizes a project to design and implement an automated trash rack cleaning system for Jamaica Public Service Company's Constant Spring hydroelectric plant. The current manual cleaning system is inefficient and results in power losses. The proposed automated system using sensors and a motorized cleaner would improve cleaning efficiency and increase annual power generation and revenues by 17-18%. The proposal outlines the project scope, approach, budget, schedule and risks. It requests approval to design, install and commission the new automated trash rack cleaning system.

    About the Customer

    Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo) Renewables


    is a functional department within JPSCo (an Integrated
    utility Company). They specialize in the operations,
    maintenance and optimization of all the renewable
    assets in the JPSCo generation fleet, which includes 9
    hydroelectric power generation systems and 4 wind
    turbine systems. These assets account for 5% of
    JPSCo’s total power generation capacity.
    About the Customer – Cont’d
    About the Company – Cont’d
    Introduction
    Constant Spring Hydro Plant is powered by the Hermitage
    Dam and the Wag Water and Boar Rivers. It adds 0.77
    megawatts of electricity to the national grid, which
    represents power to approximately 1,600 homes.
    A substantial amount of debris and trash drifting in the river
    can damage vital parts of the Hydro power plant. Trash racks
    are designed to restrict debris (sediment, weeds, timber,
    animal carcasses, litter and household and non-domestic
    waste) from entering pipeline.
    Trash racks results in unwanted energy losses due to the
    build-up of debris. This power loss can be reduced
    substantially when the trash rack is cleaned regularly.
    Introduction – Cont’d
    Debris is currently removed manually by lowering a
    rake into the water and pulling it up to the top to deposit
    debris. This function is performed by a unit operator
    who travels approximately 500 metres to the intake to
    carry out this function periodically thought the day.
    It is crucial for operation efficiency, to find an optimal
    strategy for trash rack cleaning in order to reduce power
    loss and keep cleaning costs to a minimum.
    As such JPS Renewables is interested in implementing
    an automated trash screen cleaning system to reduce
    power losses and increase gross revenue.

    Problem Statement – Cont’d
    Objective
    To design, install and commission an automated trash
    rack cleaning system for the JPSCo renewables
    “Constant Spring” hydro station.
     
    Goal
     Design and install a permissive based automated
    trash rack cleaner that will improve the units CAF by
    17% and hence, increase its income by 18%.
    Project Scope
    This project involves the design, implementation and
    commissioning of an automated trash screen cleaner at
    the intake of the constant spring hydro-electric power
    station. Its principle of operation will be based upon
    the manipulation (transmission and processing) of
    permissive signals generated from level sensors to
    initiate the cleaning action of a motor operated trash
    cleaner.
    Project Scope
    Our deliverables are as follows:
    Design Specifications – All specifications will be
    generated and submitted to customer.
    Installation and commissioning – We will provide
    installation and commissioning services.
    Familiarization Training – Training will be offered to
    the customer in operating and maintaining the system
    to installed.
    Operation & Maintenance Manual – O&M manuals
    will be provided to customer.
    Project Scope – Cont’d
    Inclusions:
    Our team will provide technical support to the customer for no more
    than 2 years after project closure.
     
    Our team will release to customers all the relevant literature
    generated during project execution such as; commissioning
    documents, O&M manuals, electrical and mechanical schematics,
    etc.
     
    Exclusions:
     Our team is not responsible for the operation and maintenance of the
    automated trash screen cleaner after it has been handed over to the
    customer.
