When an electrical glitch hit Kian Teck Avenue in Jurong last month, a team from SP Group’s Mobile Generator Unit was charged and ready to roll. In minutes, a mobile generator mounted on a 30-ft trailer left a facility in Pasir Panjang for the site of the incident. The generator carried some 2,000 litres of diesel, enough to power up a housing estate for around eight hours, and up to 40 metres of cable to hook up to a low-voltage (LV) board, which distributes electricity. “We need to always be prepared to provide temporary power,” says Mr Mohamed Nasir bin Mohamed Ismail, 42, a technical officer who is part of the unit. Readiness is key for the Mobile Generator Unit. This begins at 7.30am with a daily “warm up”, conducted by the 10 men on the morning shift. During the one-hour ritual, all the operational mobile generators – the larger ones mounted on fourteen 30-ft trailers, and the smaller ones on seven 20-ft lorries – are started and tested to ensure they are ready to be deployed. The team members also conduct cable insulation tests and checks on their toolboxes and personal protection gear. This enables them to act swiftly and safely, in the event of an electricity disruption. The men, who work on three shifts round the clock, are deployed by SP Group’s Electricity Service Centre in teams of three – a leader, an assistant, and a driver. Mr Nasir, the leader of his team, has been with SP for 21 years, joining right after he completed his National Service in 1998. He studied mechanical engineering at the ITE and plays the role of synchroniser, ensuring that the voltage and frequency of the mobile generator matches that of the grid network. Mr Nasir, who has both a Class 4 and Class 5 driving license, doubles up as a driver, and says navigating these massive vehicles is an exercise that requires both practice and courage. The trailer-mounted mobile generators cannot travel through tunnels, including those on expressways like the MCE, CTE or KPE. The 60km/h speed limit also keeps them in the slowest lanes most of the time. The trailer-mounted generators are part of a fleet of 22 vehicles of different sizes and capacities used for power restoration. “You need to know the quickest alternative route around traffic or restrictions. Outage in Ang Mo Kio and leaving from Pasir Panjang? Alexandra, Farrer, Adam, Braddell, then join the CTE after the tunnel,” Mr Nasir rattles off. The narrow roads in some estates and parked vehicles can also pose problems for the 13 metres by 2.6 metres by 4.3 metres trailers, and it is up to the two men with the driver to recce for a spot to hunker down – which must also be close enough to an electrical room to hook up. While Singapore enjoys one of the lowest occurrences of outages in the world, it is gratifying to be a part of a team that helps “get the lights back on" if supply is disrupted, Mr Nasir says. “We are usually greeted by frustrated faces when we arrive, so seeing them happy again makes us very happy,” he quipped. — 1 May 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Ground

With effect from 1 April 2022, all tenders called by Singapore Power Limited and its Singapore incorporated subsidiaries (SP Group) will include a tender evaluation criteria that takes into account the participating tenderer’s safety performance in their contracts with SP Group. 2. This is in line with SP Group’s core value that safety is our highest priority and all our suppliers and contractors must continuously adopt good safety practices and prevent accidents from occurring. Tender Evaluation Criteria 3. All open and closed tenders published on or after 1 April 2022 by SP Group shall include the new Safety Performance criteria as part of its tender evaluation criteria. 4. The Safety Performance criteria shall be a 1 st level evaluation criteria together with Price and/or Quality and shall be of a overall weightage of not less than 10% of the total evaluation score. 5. For tenders that is evaluated based solely on lowest compliant priced tender with no requirement to assess quality (e.g supply of standard items such as HP toner cartridges), the following evaluation method shall apply: Total Evaluation Score (100%) = Safety Performance (10%) + Price (90%) 6. For tenders that is evaluated based on Price and Quality factors, the following evaluation method shall apply: Total Evaluation Score (100%) = Safety Performance (10%) + Price (X%) + Quality (Y%) Where X + Y = 90% 7. For the avoidance of doubt, other safety related evaluation criteria such as the proposed safety measures to be taken for the tendered project or the tenderer’s past safety awards shall be accounted separately under the Quality score. Safety Performance 8. Safety Performance of tenderers shall be assessed by taking into account the occurrence of any Loss Time Injury (LTI) incidents in the past 2 years prior to tender closing date. In the event of the occurrence of any incidents that results in fatality or serious injury in the past 1 year prior to the tender closing date, the bid submitted by the tenderer may be rejected by SP Group. For the avoidance of doubt only incidents occurring on or after 1 April 2022 will be considered. 9. Loss Time Injury incidents for the purpose of this Safety Performance criteria refers to any incidents where: a. It is a work-related injury occurs which results in lost work time of one work day or more; b. The incident occurred while the tenderer was carrying out works under a contract with SP Group; and c. The incident occurred on or after 1 April 2022. 10. Any incidents that occur in the course of the Tenderer’s work in contracts with other parties are not accounted under this criteria’s scoring but may considered in the final decision for award.

Namun, pengetahuan pegawai teknikal dalam mengendalikan loji kuasa yang menjana elektrik itu kini dipertingkat setelah beliau melalui kursus operasi loji kuasa dan kawalan proses. Apa yang membuat kursus itu lebih menarik adalah ia turut merangkumi latihan simulator, yang membolehkan pelatih belajar cara menangani senario yang jarang berlaku dalam sektor kuasa, seperti apa yang perlu dilakukan sekiranya loji kuasa mengalami penutupan. “Ia memberi saya peluang mempunyai pengalaman amali dengan sistem operasi. Kursus ini juga membolehkan saya menangani dengan lebih baik pelbagai senario yang kami tidak selalunya hadapi dalam operasi sebenar. “Oleh itu, ia membantu kami menjadi lebih bersedia dan memberikan kami keyakinan menangani sebarang situasi,” kata beliau, yang berusia 31 tahun. Seorang lagi peserta kursus yang sama, Encik Mohamed Shafiq Abdul Rashid, pula menambah latihan simulator itu mengajar beliau tindakan yang perlu diambil dalam pelbagai situasi dan cara memperbetulkan keadaan yang boleh berlaku di tempat kerja. “Ini bahagian kursus yang paling berharga kerana tidak selalunya masalah sistem yang mencabar berlaku. “Untuk dianggap sebagai seorang operator pengalaman, seseorang itu perlu mempunyai pengalaman 10 tahun atau lebih sebagai operator dan telah menghadapi kebanyakan masalah sistem,” kata pegawai teknikal (operasi dan kecekapan) di Tuas Power Generation berusia 31 tahun itu. Baru-baru ini, Institut Kuasa dan Gas Singapura (SIPG) telah melancarkan Simulator Loji Kuasa Berpusat (CPPS) yang pertama di Singapura, yang membolehkan program latihan operasi dijadikan lebih berstruktur dan standard bagi pekerja syarikat dalam sektor penjanaan kuasa. Sebanyak enam kursus yang disepadukan dengan latihan CPPS telah dibangunkan bersama oleh SIPG dan syarikat penjanaan kuasa merangkumi Keppel Merlimau Cogen O&M, PacificLight Power, Sembcorp Cogen, Senoko Energy, Tuas Power dan YTL PowerSeraya. Program latihan tersebut menetapkan standard yang konsisten bagi latihan kemahiran, seperti dalam operasi loji kuasa, kawalan proses dan pengurusan penggera serta kerosakan peralatan dalam sekitaran dikawal yang berbeza daripada operasi harian. Sebagai sebahagian pelancaran CPPS, SIPG juga memperkenalkan program latihan berstruktur merangkumi dua Program Sijil Penjanaan Kuasa baru, dengan sijil diiktiraf oleh semua syarikat penjanaan kuasa. Sijil itu akan diberikan kepada peserta setelah mereka selesai menjalani kursus CPPS serta kursus berkaitan penjanaan kuasa lain yang ditawarkan SIPG. Sebagai pegawai teknikal di Senoko Energy, tugas Encik Anas termasuk memastikan loji kuasa beroperasi dengan lancar dan melakukan pemeriksaan rutin. Melalui latihan yang dijalani, beliau berkata antara cabaran terbesar adalah untuk menangani senario yang tidak pernah dilaluinya sebelum ini. Antaranya adalah situasi apabila peralatan didapati rosak dan mereka perlu belajar apa yang perlu dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan masalah sebelum seluruh loji kuasa terganggu. “Meskipun masih banyak lagi yang saya perlu belajar, saya rasa lebih yakin dalam menangani situasi dan senario yang berbeza (melalui latihan yang dijalani). Encik Muhammad Anas Ariffin (kanan) dan Encik Mohamed Shafiq Abdul Rashid, berpeluang mempertingkat pengetahuan dan kemahiran mereka setelah menjalani kursus operasi loji kuasa dan kawalan proses yang dibangunkan bersama oleh Institut Kuasa dan Gas Singapura (SIPG) dan syarikat penjanaan kuasa di sini. – Foto BH oleh NUR DIYANA TAHA “Saya juga dapat lebih memahami rasional di sebalik seting tertentu dalam loji kuasa dengan mencuba seting yang berbeza dalam simulator untuk melihat akibat dan hasilnya. “Percubaan dan kesilapan sedemikian adalah satu ‘kemewahan’ yang kita tidak boleh lakukan dalam operasi loji sebenar,” kata beliau. Encik Shafiq, yang telah bekerja dengan Tuas Power Generation lebih tiga tahun, pula berkongsi bahawa antara cabaran yang dihadapinya adalah untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan penggunaan simulator, memandangkan setiap syarikat penjanaan kuasa mempunyai sistem kawalan loji yang berbeza. Tugas beliau sebagai pegawai teknikal termasuk meneliti sebarang keluarbiasaan dalam sistem kawalan loji dan di loji kuasa itu sendiri dan mengenal pasti sebarang kerosakan peralatan yang menjejas kecekapan loji. “Antara perbezaan termasuk beberapa persediaan sistem loji, seperti menukar halaman berbeza pada simulator, mengakses dan mengawal peralatan loji dan mengemudi input gerbang logik berbeza (alat elektronik yang digunakan dalam kawalan dan pemantauan sistem) ke dalam sistem. “Dengan latihan cukup yang diberikan jurulatih, saya dapat membiasakan diri dalam tempoh yang singkat,” kata beliau. Encik Shafiq berharap dapat menyertai kursus peringkat lanjutan pada masa depan untuk terus mempertingkat pengetahuan teknikal beliau. “Saya mahu mempersiapkan diri saya dengan lebih baik untuk masa depan saya dalam industri penjanaan kuasa, lebih-lebih lagi dengan kemajuan teknologi akan datang,” kata beliau. “ Ia memberi saya peluang mempunyai pengalaman amali dengan sistem operasi. Kursus ini juga membolehkan saya menangani dengan lebih baik pelbagai senario yang kami tidak selalunya hadapi dalam operasi sebenar. Oleh itu, ia membantu kami menjadi lebih bersedia dan memberikan kami keyakinan menangani sebarang situasi.” – Encik Muhammad Anas Ariffin, pegawai teknikal di Senoko Energy. Ini bahagian kursus yang paling berharga kerana tidak selalunya masalah sistem yang mencabar berlaku. Untuk dianggap sebagai seorang operator pengalaman, seseorang itu perlu mempunyai pengalaman 10 tahun atau lebih sebagai operator dan telah menghadapi kebanyakan masalah sistem. – Encik Mohamed Shafiq Abdul Rashid, pegawai teknikal (operasi dan kecekapan) di Tuas Power Generation.
