All Projects

Objectives/background/needs: ·
Project implementation including construction supervision and management of Tranche 1, social and environmental plan management and monitoring for compliance;
Capacity development including preparation of safety manual for NTDC as per the requirement of National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA). Subprojects of Tranche 4 will be identified which includes, preliminary design, bids evaluation, detailed design review and project management of Tranche 4 can be added to the work scope of FMC.
To prepare project implementation manual covering the construction project organization, payment procedures, and project time schedule and quality assurance program
Review and approve the engineering design drawings, calculations, delivery program, and documents submitted by the contractors for each contract;
Provide preliminary design in preparation of bidding documents as/when requested by NTDC;
support NTDC in bids evaluation as/when requested by NTDC,
develop and implement a construction quality assurance program for each contract;
confirm compliance with technical data & specifications as per the contract
monitor implementation progress and identify what actions and resources are required to address the contractors needs to achieve the construction schedule;
inspect equipment/materials before shipment upon arrival and upon erection;
review the contractor’s test procedures for compliance with manufacturers’ requirements and design criteria, witness selected tests and review the test results and submit a report;
monitor the execution of the contracts in line with the time schedules and the work programs provided by the contractors;
prepare/issue completion certificates, operational acceptance certificates and defect liability certificate as per the provisions of the contract.
review and certify the commissioning test reports submitted by the contractors/ suppliers; attend the commissioning phase; establish the list of deficiencies after commissioning; and prepare a time frame for the contractors/suppliers to remedy the deficiencies.
Establish a monitoring program for NTDC;
review and approve SSEMP prepared by contractors;
monitor EMP/SSEMP implementation progress onsite and assess the progress as per the requirements given in EMP/SSEMP/Environmental Approval from EPA and address the gaps to ensure compliance;
monitor implementation of LARPs, CAPs, DDRs and EMP implementation and provide early warning of any potential safeguard risks;
undertake capacity building activities as stipulated in the IEE/EIA;
prepare a capacity development plan to assist NTDC in meeting the MFF and Tranche 1 intended outputs and outcomes;
review of current safety procedures in vogue in NTDC & identify gaps in comparison with international practices and NEPRA requirements.
Prepare a manual based on the above findings acceptable to NTDC.

Objectives/background/needs:
Regional distribution system planning for Hydro One Networks Inc including new renewable generation planning.
Wind farm and Hydro One distribution system model development.
Key deliverables and solution provided:
Load flow analysis for different scenarios (nominal, max. and min. voltage for different wind farm power outputs,0% to 100%, at the required power factor setting).
Equipment sizing calculations,
Cable sizing calculations for 27.6 kV collector system,
Assessment of the voltage fluctuations (i.e. upon start up and shut down of the turbines).
Reactive power analysis of the entire distributions system and wind farm in order to identify the need of a reactor/capacitor bank or other power electronic devices in order to fulfill Hydro One´s power factor requirements and less estimation.
Preparation of dynamic model of the wind farm,
Dynamic analysis of the system.
Analysis of temporary overvoltage issues in the wind farm.
Short circuit analysis,
Harmonic and Flicker analysis in order to identify possible risks of the wind farm not meeting the grid code requirements.
Extensive use of distributions system analysis software.
