| Energy Services and/or Financing |
|
Clarke Energy can offer financing options, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), Maintenance Service Agreements (MSA) and Long Term Service Agreements (LTSA) to best suit the needs of the owner. Availability and reliability are arguably the two most important considerations when approaching a project of this nature. In order to realize the maximum benefit of the CHP plant we strongly recommend consideration of the provision of a long term maintenance contract within the scope of the project. |
| Assurance Plan |
|
a. Assurances From Clarke Energy include Risk analysis & mitigation plans to be completed with all parties at kick off meeting: Timing & commercial risks: Hedging & shipping, Document exchange / approval. Construction risks: Ground conditions, Unknown utilities or contamination, Access to site, Permit risks e.g. emissions, building, electrical, transport etc., Clear definition of performance test & functional test. b. General overview of Maintenance requirements: The conditions and devices predetermined in the technical scheme, the wiring diagram, the interface list and the technical specification of the control at the supply limits/interfaces must be fulfilled or available respectively. Deviations from these can affect guaranteed characteristics of the product and safe operation and finally lead to a restriction or extinction of warranty claims. Maintenance personnel: Work at the plant is only carried out by specially trained, electric and mechanic specialists. It is possible to conclude service contracts. The intervals stated in the maintenance plan are average empirical values. Where there is a lack of proper operation and maintenance (such as defective oil care, large accumulations of dust or other problematic circumstances), maintenance operations have to be carried out before the specified intervals. C.Routine regulations & procedures: The regulations and maintenance intervals can only be judged by the operator. If irregularities are found during the daily inspection, especially during the warranty period (abnormal sounds or noises, etc.), the operator takes action to minimize any damage (e.g. by immediately switching off the engine, investigating the cause of the irregularity and rectifying it, and/or notifying the INNIO Jenbacher customer service department). The service intervals are not be extended to avoid downtime during the heating season. All parts that contact exhaust are correspondingly not bound to fixed, predetermined useful lives. Safety regulations: The safety regulations contained in the user's manual are strictly observed. The safety regulations and regulations for the prevention of accidents set out by the law are followed. Prior to the commencement of any work the party ordering makes sure that the applying safety regulations are observed for the work to be carried out. In the event of work that may only be carried out with the engine standing still, the engine is turned off and secured against unauthorized re-starting according to the technical instruction no. 1100-0105. Risk assessment: The plant operator (employer) is always asked to undertake a risk assessment to determine the measures necessary to effect the safe availability and use of the plant and equipment and to comply with all official and quasi-official safety rules and laws governing the operation of the plant. The employer takes the necessary measures to ensure that employees are only provided with equipment which is suitable for the conditions pertaining at the workplace and guarantees their health and safety if used properly. The risk assessment will cover approval, planning, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance, servicing and shutting down. The risk assessment performed by the plant operator and the official and quasi-official safety rules and laws may give rise to acceptance tests, inspections and maintenance operations which are not included in the Maintenance Plan. It is the operator’s responsibility to implement and enforce these additional measures. Start conditions: All INNIO Jenbacher engines are equipped with a preheating system for the engine cooling water. Only preheated engines with a engine cooling water temperature of >55°C may be started, loaded and run to full-load, otherwise the engine may be damaged. Malfunctions: When a failure results in the installation automatically being switched off by the engine control, the cause of the failure is remedied first before the installation is started again! It is forbidden simply to reset a failure and then re-start the engine, as critical or wear-induced damage could possibly result in premature wear-induced replacement of various components. Remote resetting: Based on the risk category selected by the customer (0-4), failures resulting in the installation being switched off can be reset using remote access to the visualization system (Not more than 5 times per 6 hours of engine operation under load). d. Length of coverage/Service Plans: the length of coverage is determined by the solution the customer chooses. for a full operation and Maintenance contract its is not uncommon for Clarke Energy to undertake 15 years of contract. Of Course such situation is the most risk-free for the customer. |
