    On May 1, 2016, a complete power shutdown occurred at the facility for 20 minutes due to both the Perkins Gas Genset and CAT-3412 tripping offline due to frequency variations outside acceptable limits. The Perkins Diesel Genset was started and put on load to restore power while the other generators were inspected. After checking for normal frequency variations, all generators were synchronized successfully and put back online. The shutdown was caused by starting crude pumping which added unexpected extra load while generators were already at full capacity due to high summer demand. Remedial actions included coordinating with engineering before starting crude pumping and avoiding it during peak hours.

    Power Failure Report

    On May 01, 2016, complete power shutdown occurred at 08:15 HRS for 20
    Minutes. Power restored at 08:35 HRS by starting up and putting Perkins Diesel on
    load. Breakdowns of complete shutdown are as follow:
    Perkins Gas Genset tripped on low frequency.
    Cat-3412 tripped on frequency and speed variation alarms i.e. Low/High
    Frequency and Over speed.
    Perkins Diesel Genset started and put on load immediately.
    CAT-3412 inspected and started with no load. After observing frequency variations
    within limit (0.5 HZ), Genset synchronized with Perkins Diesel successfully.
    Perkins Gas Genset inspected and started with no load. Frequency variation
    observed so Ignition timing checked with timing gun that was found OK.
    After inspection of both Gas Gensets, Gensets put on load and synchronized
    successfully. Frequency variation was within limits (0.5 HZ).

    Shutdown Cause:
    Crude pumping was started so caused extra load on Gensets as Gensets were
    running on full load due to summer season.

    Remedial Action:
    1. Process Incharge Informed to coordinate with Engineering Incharge before
    starting up of crude pumping.
    2. Process Incharge also informed to avoid crude pumping during peak load
    hours.
