be certified by a recognised Testing Authority, as complying with an appropriate
standard from those listed in Appendix 2 (or alternatively Appendix 3 for equipment
manufactured in China). Where areas are classified for both the presence of gas and
dust the equipment shall be suitable for the more stringent requirements of the two in
each aspect.
A Certificate of Conformity shall be provided from the Supplier for all equipment in
hazardous areas.

Additional advice shall be taken from the Institute of Petroleum Model Code of Safe
Practice, Part 15, Area Classification Code for Petroleum Installations as amended by
DEP 80.00.10.10-CSPC.
Particular attention shall be paid to Appendix A of the above referenced DEP, where
the requirements of PRC Code GB50058-92 that could lead to a larger area than
required by the IP Code are described.
Zone 10:
Zone 11:
Selection of equipment for use in an area classified for dust shall be in accordance
with IEC 61241 or GB 12476.1 for equipment manufactured in China.

Areas of plant not classified as potentially having either a gas or dust hazard shall be
designated as being non-hazardous.
Standard form DEP 05.00.10.80-CSPC shall be used for scheduling and calculating
loads
Notes: The factor for VSDS loads is not to be used for motors rated at 6kV and above.
Contractor shall make an individual assessment based on the process operating
conditions.
The factor for VSDS loads only applies to those drives that are operated
continuously. Where VSDS are standby or intermittent, factors y and z shall be
applied as appropriate.
The BDEP Contractor shall advise instances where the use of these factors is
not appropriate for the Process Unit involved, that is where there use would
result in either an undersized or considerably oversized system. BDEP
Contractor shall advise the Principal of recommended diversity factors together
with information substantiating the selection of the factors. No change shall be
made to the factors without the Principal’s written agreement.

The firm capacity of the electrical system shall exceed the peak load by 25%. The
peak load shall not include any allowance for future expansion.
Automatic load transfer and automatic staged motor re-acceleration and restarting
systems shall be provided, where required by the process design to meet availability
targets.
The design shall comply with GB/T15945 in respect of harmonics at the various
voltage levels. Further details are given in DEP 33.64.10.10-CSPC section 4.3.3.

6.1 General
In plant generation shall be provided for the complex. It shall comprise a single Gas
Turbine and four Steam Turbine generators as determined by a detailed evaluation of
the power system requirements and fuel availability.

Generators shall have provision for the use of partial discharge probes for condition
monitoring.
7.1 General
The emergency generator shall be 3 x 50 % units. They shall supply a separate 6kV
distribution network.
There shall be a 380V emergency switchboard within each substation to supply the
required emergency loads. This substation emergency switchboard shall supply
emergency/essential equipment in the field and local Field Auxilliary rooms (FARs) ie.
UPS, HVAC, Lighting etc.
The switchboard shall have one incomer from a normal low voltage switchboard and
one incomer from the main emergency generator switchboard. Each incomer shall
supply one bus-section with a normally opened bus-tie between the two buses. When
the normal supply is lost the bus-tie will close automatically and the emergency
generator feeds the whole switchboard.

The status of the automatic transfer switch shall be monitored by the ENMCS system
so that if they have operated and normal power is later restored they are switched
back to the normal power supply. The switching itself shall be performed manually.
A diesel fuel day tank to allow 24 hours operation of the generators shall be provided.
Vital service is further divided into vital no-break, vital maintained and vital
non-maintained
The load classification, as discussed in section 7.3 above, shall be recorded on the
electrical load summary sheet. Once classified the electrical supply to each type of
load must be arranged to give security of supply that is appropriate to its

classification. The power supply arrangements related to the load classification shall
be based on the requirements listed below.
This is a power supply derived from one or more UPS units each of which
incorporates a battery to provide power in the event of failure of the mains
electricity supply. The power supply is uninterrupted in the event of mains
supply failure and is maintained throughout the battery discharge period.
UPS systems shall be provided for the Process Control Systems, critical
Health/Safety/ Security systems and critical Telecommunications
Systems. Emergency diesel generator supplies shall be provided to the
UPS systems to increase their autonomy times, although the batteries
alone shall provide the required autonomies.
This is a power supply which is derived from the main distribution system
but which has back-up power supply, typically from an automatically
started, emergency diesel generator. The interruption in voltage on mains
supply failure is normally 10 to 15 seconds.

Electrical General Design Specification Page 16 of 34

This is a power supply derived from the main distribution system but
which does not have a back- up power supply. This category can only be
applied where the normal power system has independent sources of
supply. The Nanhai project has independent sources of generation (1
GTG and a number of STGs) and a connection to the public utility
network. There is no credible scenario where a single fault results in loss
of power to more than one bus-section per voltage level. Motors that
require vital supplies do not have to be fed from the emergency electrical
system provided that:
The drives are fed from different bus-sections or one of the drives
is not electric.
This category of supply shall be used for motors for vital services not
included in the previous two categories.
Essential Supplies are treated in the same way as the vital non-
maintained supplies, That is, they have a power supply derived from the
main distribution system. Because of the high reliability of the distribution
system it is not regarded as necessary to provide extra back up for the
essential consumers. Where it is not possible to provide a back up for an
essential consumer (for example, there may not be enough space to
provide two electric motors for a service) automatic changeover on the
feeding distribution board may be applied.

From the preceding descriptions and definitions it follows that the loads fed from the
emergency diesel generator system shall be generally limited to:
Process considerations may lead to other loads being considered as vital maintained
services, for example drives that are required to operate to prevent runaway
reactions or lube oil motors for large machines. These shall, however, be strictly
limited.

shall be subject to an economic evaluation.
Large motors (i.e. those rated 200 kW and above) shall normally be supplied at 6kV.
The largest motors on the plant shall be fed via unit transformers. The selection of the
voltage for these motors (within the range 6-15 kV) has been developed during the
BDEP phase to confirm that the most cost–effective combination of motor and
transformer has been made
