1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to provide you with examples of the test procedures
performed for the acceptance of the Hathaway Field RIG (Field RIG unit equivalents
acceptable to the ISO may require steps and/or processes related to testing different
from those presented herein).

It is the responsibility of each owner to perform testing of their RIG installations to


ensure the functionality required by the ISO’s technical standards. The owner and
vendor should agree on specific test procedures and resources necessary. The ISO will
assist the owner or representative by demonstrating test procedures, inspecting and
certifying the installation and participating in the final point to point checks.

It is important to understand that this document is being provided to you for use as a
guide, and has been developed based on the testing and experience acquired to date.
Some additions and or modification to existing tests may be necessary to accommodate
your site. . The California ISO makes no warranty with regard to this guide, including
but not limited to the accuracy or completeness of the guide, responsibility for any
damage or loss to systems or software caused by the use of the guide or assurances that
the user of the guide will not require additional third party engineering services.

2. INTRODUCTION

There are three types of acceptance tests defined in this write up. The first is a
Manufacturing Test or Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). . The purpose of the FAT is
generally to demonstrate the functionality of the equipment, not necessarily specific to
the site. Examples of the type of testing conducted during the FAT can be found on the
ISO GCP Web Page (http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/operations/gcp), Procedures
section.

The second type of test is the Site Acceptance Test (SAT). The SAT has been defined to
demonstrate the site specific functionality of the RIG (i.e. checks to ensure connectivity
to plant systems and communications, data base checks from RIG to Hathaway work
station etc. ). SAT testing is generally performed on site.
The third type of test is the System Integration Test (SIT). The SIT is a complete “end to
end” test from the ISO EMS system to the plant control systems and individual units.
This is performed after the ISO representatives have certified the correct installation of
the RIG and is coordinated with the ISO resources in Folsom.

Certain procedures of the SAT and SIT will require coordination with the ISO and
Hathaway. Some of these tests can be run independently, and some need to be run in
specific order. It is suggested that the generator owner or representative coordinate
with the ISO Project Engineer and the manufacturer representative in advance to
schedule the necessary resources.

Sample Test Procedures
Revision No. 2.1 Draft

2.1 GROUND RULES


In order to run a successful test, it is necessary to establish the methods and general
procedures which will be followed throughout the test. It is important that these rules
and procedures be agreed to, and followed, by all parties during the test. Clear
definition of each parties roles and responsibilities and communicating changes in
procedures are crucial to ensure problems and issues are resolved quickly.

2.2 GENERAL TEST INSTRUCTIONS


Hathaway, plant personnel, and engineering personnel should each appoint an
individual or individuals to be involved in all matters related to testing (“Test
Representative”). The level of involvement of Test Representatives from these groups
is dependent upon the testing being performed and should be defined in advance.

These Test Representatives are solely responsible for representing their respective
companies during the test. The mutual agreement of these Test Representatives is
necessary for approving the tests, any departure from the procedure, and any
documentation of errors or omissions.

An outline of the test examples can be located in Appendix A. The actual testing
requires execution of test procedures, examples of which can be located in Appendix B.
These procedures are designed to state the test steps in an efficient, modular manner
and allow for completion of the test objectives in a timely manner. Unnecessary
repetition of test instructions has been avoided whenever possible.

Sample Test Procedures
Revision No. 2.1 Draft

2.3 TEST SEQUENCE

Test Representatives may add or delete items from the test, redirect the test, skip
sections, or review sections at any time during the test providing such changes are
agreed to and do not result in safety issues or equipment damage. The requirement to
provide a fully functional RIG (or equivalent equipment acceptable to ISO) should be
the standard to guide all testing.

The tests are designed to run in the sequence given in this example document except
where noted. The proper sequencing of tests is necessary because of set up procedures
that may have occurred in previous tests. However, it is recognized that circumstances
often require that the sequence be interrupted. Such an interruption or re-scheduling
should not require that all Test Representatives agree.

Successful testing involves the active participation, teamwork and understanding of


test procedures by all parties and Test Representatives. Primarily Hathaway
personnel or ISO personnel will help execute the tests in order to expedite them. This
will provide the customer with the opportunity to observe and question the test results.
Upon successful completion of each section, the Test Representatives will sign off that
section as complete and accepted.

2.4 TEST RESULTS


Evidence of execution of test procedures and documentation of test results will be done
using the test log form incorporated with the test procedure in Appendix C. Test
representatives will document conduct of each test procedure on separate log sheets.
Logs should contain entries documenting conduct of the various test steps with a listing
of exceptions, discrepancies, abnormal events, or general remarks. When required,
actual test results and parameter values may be recorded. Each representative should
sign off for completion of each test procedure. Additional documentation may be

Page 6 of 58
Date 1/19/2000
Sample Test Procedures
Revision No. 2.1 Draft

attached to the test logs as required to record test results. Test logs will list all
attachments.

There may be cases where the test results are not satisfactory. Appendix D contains a
Discrepancy Report (DR) form where all such results should be recorded. Discrepancy
Reports should also be used to document any outstanding issues arising from the tests.

All discrepancies should be classified daily by the Testing Representatives into one of
the following example categories:

• FIX BEFORE OPERATIONAL


• FIX BEFORE FINAL ACCEPTANCE

Whenever possible, discrepancy correction should occur during the testing. At


completion of the test, the responsible parties will review all remaining discrepancies
against these categories for correction. The resulting punchlist will be tracked until all
discrepancies are resolved.

2.5 TEST PROCEDURES

It is suggested that brief status meetings among Testing Representatives be held daily
throughout the duration of the testing. These meetings can be broken down as follows:

An orientation meeting be held prior to the start of the test period, each day. This
meeting should be used to introduce all participants involved in the testing, and review
the test plan, schedule and procedures. The expectations should be set forth so all
parties are aware of what is to be accomplished by the end of the test period.

A review meeting should be held at the conclusion of the test period, each day. The
purpose of this meeting will be to review the findings of the tests performed that day,
discuss any unsatisfactory test results, determine the proper course of action to obtain
satisfactory results and review and prioritize the testing/discrepancies for the next day.

Page 7 of 58
Date 1/19/2000
Sample Test Procedures
Revision No. 2.1 Draft

Reasonable efforts should be taken to resolve and retest discrepancies before continuing
on to subsequent tests.

2.6 TEST SCHEDULE

It is recommended that a test schedule and resource list be developed for each test.
These documents should outline the testing that is to be performed, the dates, and all
resources necessary to conduct each test.

Test: GPS CLOCK
Procedure:
1) Disconnect the Field RIG from the network first to avoid any network time updates.
2) Change the CMOS time in the Field RIG to something other than the current date
and time. In order to reset the CMOS time, reboot the computer, rapidly hit the
delete key, select date/time, and enter desired values and then escape.
3) Reboot the Field RIG and after vxWorks initializes, check the date and time via both
the date function and the GPSShow functions. The correct time will show in both as
long as the GPS card receives a “good quality” time.
4) Test time drift of local IOC clock by discontinuing the system time broadcast over a
24 hour period and disconnecting the GPS antenna so that “quality good” status is
lost. Verify IOC time after the 24 hours against a second time source. (High
accurate source provided by Hathaway). Note drift prior to test and at end of test.

Appendix B

Test No: 5

Vendor: HATHAWAY

Test: UPS - This test demonstrates that the Field RIG is communicating with its
UPS unit and that alarming checking is taking place on the status data
gathered via the serial communications link. This testing is further
intended to demonstrate the ability of the UPS to power the Field RIG,
without disruption, through a series of simulated failures.

Procedure:
1) Remove source power to the UPS and verify that it successfully, non-disruptively
maintains operation of the RIG as well as generating the expected alarms to the RIG.
2) Allow the UPS to run the RIG until it generates battery warning and shutdown
alarms and through to complete failure of the UPS. Note the time of operation and
the alarms generated.
3) Reconnect to source power and verify that the UPS can charge and power the RIG
concurrently. Notice alarm status indication of the UPS.
4) Once fully re-charged, test the UPS by disconnecting its battery. Verify the alarm
status. Reconnect the battery. Verify the alarm status.
5) Repeat test and confirm cycle time on the battery.
6) Bypass UPS to Raw Power only, check systems, and return to full UPS.
Acceptance:
The UPS should properly operate the RIG for the minimum time span of 30 minutes
and should generate the manufacturer-specified alarm conditions for the fault
conditions inflicted.

Test: ISO METER COMMUNICATIONS - This test will verify the transmission of
530 the ISO Meter data from the ISO Test meter to the MDAS system.

Procedure:
1) Using two MDAS units, one communicating via the Master RIG and one directly
communicating over the network, communicate with a meter and ensure that
identical information is provided to both MDAS. All standard MDAS functionality
should be exercised.
530 364
2) Using the TCP/IP communications directly to the Cisco router (which acts as a
terminal server for the test meter) the Field RIG will “poll” the test meter and
retrieve the designated tables. A subset of these will then be mapped into database
points in the Field RIG and be available for display via a test graphic display in the
workstations. The data shown on the workstation displays shall match the data
being read by the MDAS systems, prior to the scaling of these values (as is done in
the MDAS system). A selected set of values will then be scaled in the Field RIG,
using “calc” blocks, and the results viewed on the test graphic and compared to the
MDAS values.
3) Repeat Step 1 with three meters accessed via the same Field RIG. Ensure that
identical information is provided to both MDAS.
Acceptance:
The values of the meter data read in both tests must exactly match aside from excess
(beyond “significant”) digits, in order to pass the testing. Conversion to floating-point
values can generate “rounding” but this must not occur in the “raw” meter readings
and must not effect the “significant” digits of the scaled values. The meter recorder
data, in pulses must exactly match, in each of the channels for all intervals.

Test: EMS INTERFACE - The purpose of this testing is to demonstrate the real-
time ability of the system to move data from the external plant control
system equipment, into a Field RIG, across the TCP/IP network and
deliver it as a value mapped to a DNP3.0 channel on the Master RIG
which in turn will deliver it via that channel to the EMS systems. The
second purpose of this testing is to demonstrate the real-time transfer of
supervisory commands from the EMS systems, through the Master RIG
and Field RIG, out to the external plant control system equipment
connected to the Field RIG.
Procedure:

1) Using the plant interface connected to the Field RIG, assorted inputs shall be
stimulated and the Field RIG shall detect these changes during its routine polling of
that plant interface.

2) Using the workstations and the RIG diagnostic graphic display(s) the changes to the
plant interface inputs shall be presented as such changes are made.

3) Using the EMS systems attached to the master RIG, the change in the inputs to the
plant control system equipment shall be reflected in a matching change to the DNP
block(s) which correspond to the plant control system equipment inputs.

4) Supervisory control commands shall be issued by using the EMS systems to send
control messages to the Field RIG which will in turn send the appropriate command
to the corresponding plant interface output.

5) Test plant interface down and data quality code flags populated to EMS for each
plant interface and data type.

6) Disconnect the Field RIG from the network. Confirm that all data reported to the
ISO Development EMS is flagged as bad quality. This demonstrates that bad data
quality is reported for all points when the RIG is off line.

7) Reconnect the Field RIG to the network. Confirm that the data reported for the
active plant interface configuration is reporting as data quality good. Ensure that all
data for the other plant interface configurations are reported as bad quality. This
demonstrates that the data quality flag is based on successful communications to the
plant interface.

Certification Process

4 CERTIFICATION PROCESS

1. Upon completion of the RIG production test, a test for Ancillary Services (A/S) re-
certification (scheduled through ISO Client Relations and the ISO Outage
Coordination Office) must be conducted within 2 weeks. If the results are mutually
satisfactory (to the Generator/Scheduling Coordinator (SC) and ISO), the ISO will
declare these A/S test results as final, and re-certify the unit at these new values.

2. If the Generating Unit’s A/S test does not go well (i.e., poor performance, or failure)
further tuning and adjustments may be made. Any additional attempts at A/S re-
certification shall be completed within 4 weeks from the production test checkout.

3. During this period of tuning and A/S re-certification (until the A/S test results
reach finality), the unit will retain its previous certified (i.e., non-RIG) A/S status
and values, regardless of RIG performance. In this transitional period, the unit may
remain on the RIG, or switch back to the former communications/control
technology as needed. However, A/S compliance still applies: SCs of units with
new RIG installations are encouraged to only bid those services and quantities they
have confidence in delivering.

4. On or before the end of the 4 week grace period, the latest A/S test results
(including results of failed performance) shall be declared final and the Generating
Unit shall only operate via RIG from this point forward.

5. Some small delay is expected between the time the A/S values are made final and
their entrance into the ISO Master File due to coordination of ISO Master File
changes.
