Management Summary
This report covers the period 01 September 2021 to 30 November 2021 and relates to the SGT-800 (BD000467U01)
installed at the Araucaria - Central Termica San Pedro plant and operated by Araucaria Energy.
The unit has been operating for 245 hours (15.97 %) during the observed period – gas fuel operation for 245 hours
(100.00 %) and liquid fuel operation for 0 hours (0.00 %). It appears to have been no running trips.
During the reporting period no RDS Notification has been provided.
The majority of incoming warnings were related to Dev GT Room Vent Fan Diff Pressure, indicating a deviation
between the GT room vent fan diff pressure measurements. The deviation appears to be caused by transmitter
SAG10CP010 which reads lower values compared to the other measurements in the loop. It is recommended to check
the pressure transmitter for any abnormalities such as leakages, blockages or for water ingress in its instrument lines.
Please also check the calibration of the pressure transmitter.
Data was missing between 1st September and 28th September. The missing data could not be retrieved, and this period
could therefore not be analyzed in this report.

GT Room Vent Fan Diff Pressure Deviation

Dev GT Room Vent Fan Diff Pressure (SAG10CP800/ZA01) has been activated frequently during this reporting period,
indicating a deviation between the GT room vent fan diff pressure measurements (SAG10CP010/15/20). As can be
seen in the graph below the deviation appears to be caused by transmitter SAG10CP010 which reads lower values
compared to the other measurements in the loop. It is recommended to check the pressure transmitter for any
abnormalities such as leakages, blockages or for water ingress in its instrument lines. Please also check the calibration
of the pressure transmitter.

indicators for the unit
KPI State Hours Time during which an unit state could be distinguished
KPI State Recovery Ratio of KPI state hours to total period hours in the period under consideration
Available When the unit is capable of providing service, regardless of whether it is actually in service
and regardless of the capacity level that can be provided.
In-Service When the unit is electrically connected to the system and performing generation function or
stable operation of the driven equipment
Reserve Shutdown When the unit is available, but not in service
Unavailable When the unit is not capable of operation because of operational or equipment failures,
external restrictions, testing, work being performed or an adverse condition. The unavailable
state persists until the unit is made available for operation, either by being placed in the in-
service state or the reserve shutdown state.
Forced Outage When the unit is unavailable due to unplanned component failure (immediate, delayed,
postponed) or another condition that requires the unit to be removed from service
immediately or before the next planned shut down
Planned Outage When the unit is unavailable due to inspection, testing or overhaul. A planned outage is
scheduled in advance.

specific gas turbine
RH Reliability Hours
Is calculated as the number of hours the gas turbine is deemed to be in an available state or
undergoing planned maintenance
RF Reliability Factor

Start Initiated Action intended to bring a unit from the shutdown to the in-service state
SS Successful Starts
Bringing a unit through a starting attempt to the in-service state, as evidenced by the
