View Details2. C. Each Pumped Storage project should have a design change/ configuration control program. This program should ensure the design basis of the plant is controlled and maintained through procedures and processes that assure unauthorized changes are not made to equipment important to safety.
This section defines the various design basis areas and factors that should be considered, evaluated, and documented for a pumped storage project. The design basis for a project should be clearly defined and understood by everyone involved in the project operation, maintenance, and modification.
The January 13, 2006 FERC letter or more current FERC guidance should be considered by the licensee when determining the staffing of a pumped storage project. Un-staffed operation should only be considered when robust fail safe systems, procedures and processes are in place to support unattended operation.
In addition to the design basis considerations for instrumentation that is discussed in section 1 of this document, the following additional considerations should be considered regarding the design, testing, operation and maintenance of level instrumentation in a pumped storage plant. Field instrumentation is essential for operational safety.
The hydrologic design basis for a pumped storage facility, as for a conventional hydro project, is mainly concerned with determining the appropriate Inflow Design Flood (IDF) and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) for the project. Guidance on selecting the IDF and PMF can be found in Chapters 2 and 8 of the FERC's Engineering Guidelines. 1. A. 1.
Since some pumped-storage projects are remotely operated it is also important to have a training program for plant personnel so they are able to operate the plant in an emergency or loss of the computer system in the event communication is lost with hydro dispatch. There should be training established for the instrumentation and monitoring program.
