Description

Install Automated Power Factor Correction System T-624 at Lajes Field, Azores, Portugal. The project is to provide all labor, tools, materials, equipment, components, software and engineering services to perform the following work. Design, provide and install an automatically controlled power factor correction system for the Lajes Field 6.9 KV bus in Power Plant T-624, the system design shall be based on not less than two weeks of charting the Lajes Field electrical load. The contractor shall perform the charting or arrange for charting by the local utility. Provide shop drawings, working schematic and description of operation for review. The system shall be capacitor based in approximately six steps. The necessary MVAR is estimated at 1.0 to 1.5 MVAR per bus. The contractor shall verify the necessary MVAR rating. The system shall include the necessary de-tuned inductors to filter 5th, 7th and other significant harmonic components as determined by charting. The system shall provide a power factor of at least 0.93 as seen by the local utility at a voltage of no less than 6.9 KV on the Lajes Field Power Plant bus. The system shall provide power factor correction for both A and B busses in the open bus mode and for single bus operation with A and B connected through bus ties as one bus. The system shall be expandable. Provide engineering drawings. Provide operation instructions. Demonstrate proper operation of the power factor correction system to the Construction inspector and power production foreman. Basis of change: Base power factor at 50HZ varies from 0.55 to 0.75 depending on load and utility supply voltage.
