Permit to work system

Different types of
Maintenance of Power Plant
and its cost effectiveness
Maintenance Planning
Power Plant Operation
Permit to Work System
PTW is a printed form and issued to
employee before they may work on
specified equipment.
Objective is to ensure safety of employee
PTW is Guarantee of Safety
Steps/ Arrangement while
issuing
PTW
 PTW should be issued only against the
presentation of an isolation request by
maintenance Department Except in case of
emergency.
 Person presenting himself to collect PTW
should be fully familiar with the job and details
of work to be done
 All Copies of PTW must be signed both at
Receipt and Clearance
 Receipt and Clearance signature must be made
in presence of Shift Charge Engineer/ Unit
incharge
 PTW should be signed for clearance by the
person who signed for receipt
Steps/ Arrangement while
issuing
PTW …….contd
 Whenever a job is permanently transferred
from one person to another, the permit should
be cancelled and reissued.
 The PTW is cancelled and reissued when
change in isolation become necessary
 Work on medium/ low voltage equipments
should be done when they are dead.
 At least two isolation should be in service in
case of electrical Permit
 “Do Not Operate” caution board should be put
on desk on control station of equipments under
PTW
Steps/ Arrangement while
issuing
PTW …….contd
 An emergency Job Card should be opened by
operation department giving details of work in
case of Emergencies
 Operation representative has to deliver the
equipment to maintenance section ensuring all
safety
 Operation representative must ensure that job
has been carried out properly before taking
back the PTW.
 Operation representative must ensure that
there is no danger before charging the
equipment/ System
At Work
Maintenance person should must ensure
that PTW has been issued for their own
safety
It is responsibility of all persons on site to
ensure that they do not start work on
equipments for which a PTW is necessary
untill PTW is issued.
Role of Operation Engineer
Safety of equipment
Safety of Persons
Generation of Electricity at economic cost
Keeping generation within the declared
schedule
Start up and shut down of equipments in
safe and systematic manner
Role of Operation Engineer
….Contd.
Maintaining the parameters within
prescribed limit
Physical Inspection of equipment to
observe Noise, Vibration etc.
Prompt Decision Making
Cost Effectiveness in Present Scenario (ABT
- UI)
Grid Discipline
Grid Discipline is given a priority in ABT
Incentive and penalty in form of UI to
maintain Grid Frequency
Penalty when actual generation is less
than scheduled
Incentive when actual generation is
more than scheduled generation when
frequency is less
 It is a new challenge for operation
engineer
U I Rate
 Each 0.02 Hz step is equivalent to 8.0
paise/kwh in the range of 49.8-50.5 Hz
 Penalty is 18.0 paise/kwh in the range of 49.0-
49.8 Hz for each 0.02 Hz step
 Incentive is 18.0 paise/kwh in the range of
49.8-49.66 Hz for each 0.02 Hz step below
49.66 is fixed
 UI rate is capped at 49.66 when actual
generation exceeds the scheduled generation
 UI rate goes up to Rs 10.0 per Kwh when actual
generation is below scheduled generation
