This list shows the type of work that would
typically be performed as part of any Owner’s Engineer Service. A
more detailed description of some of the items follows below.
Defining the EPC specification
Bufo Technology and its partners generated the
specification that will be used as part of the documents used to
contract and control the EPC. Typically, this specification
controls the highest level plant parameters and provides a basis to
which the client could contract the EPC and controls their
performance. This specification formed part of the contract package
for the FIDIC contract used to contract and manage the execution of
the project.
Typical items that this specification addresses
are:
· |
The establishment of the highest level
definition of the plant, including
- |
Solar Panels |
- |
Lines per string, total voltage and
current requirements |
- |
Combination of strings (combiners)
|
- |
Use of DC/DC voltage converters at
combiner string inputs |
- |
Inverter selection parameters |
- |
Plant layout requirements |
|
· |
The
establishment of a verifiable performance specification for the
plant. |
We will also complete a review of the design
proposed by the EPC. We will verify that the design is complete and
suitable. Additionally, we will verify that key optimisations
affecting plant performance have been completed satisfactorily and
that operational experience has been included in the design.
Limited construction oversight
We independently ensure that construction
standards specified are being followed and that the quality of the
construction is satisfactory. This would be completed by limited
surveillance of the construction.
Start-up and testing oversight
We provide oversight of the start-up and
performance testing of the plant including a review of test plans
and procedures.
