Subject: [Respvr] SOER 07-1 Low Power Ops

Question for the group...

 

SOER 07-1 provides the admonition to discourage low power operation for an extended period of time.

 

How have you defined “low power operation” and “extended period of time”?

 

We’re proposing defining “low power operation” as operation with the turbine offline.  And “extended period of time” as 24 hours greater than the planned outage schedule (the assumption here is that the outage planning process has evaluated the risks of operation within the plan).

 

Is our proposal more or less conservative than your equivalent?

 

Thanks!

 

Carl
