Job Title:Electrical Superintendent

electrical maintenance and instrumentation divisions in the power plants.

During this period, I employed in the following special maintenance activities (projects) in addition to the general duties:

Annual overhaul of synchronous generators (10 to 60MW) and preparing overhaul reports. In Randenigala power station, period of time taken for an annual overhaul was 30 to 60 days. I studied the reasons behind long delays of overhaul activities and proposed new overhaul plans to optimize the overhaul time to 20 days. This increased the plant availability factor while minimizing the maintenance cost.

Repaired and reinstalled the reservoir water level indicator system of Randenigala & Rantembe power stations.

Replaced and commissioned the 220V battery bank of Bowathanna power station.

Calibrated meters and instruments in the power plants and recorded data for future use.

Worked in the hydro power tunnel inspection team in Randenigala and Inginiyagala Power Stations.

Implemented Japanese 5S system in Randenigala power station and participated as a member of the quality cycle.

From26/08/2006To11/11/2007

Period:01 Year and 03 Mon.

Employer:Ceylon Electricity Board, (Uva Province).

Job Title:Electrical Engineer (Distribution Maintenance)

In parallel to the occupation in CEB, I completed my Engineering degree “Bachelor of Technology (Electronic Engineering)” of the Open university of Sri Lanka in 2004, and was recruited to the post of Electrical Engineer in August 2006. With the same qualification, I received the membership of IEE (IET) MIEE and IEEE (MIEEE) IESL (AMIE(Sri Lanka).

After the one month induction training, I was appointed to the post of distribution maintenance engineer in “Uva” province. The main function of this division is the Maintenance and developments of the Medium Voltage distribution system in “Uva” Province which consist a 2500km of 33kV lines and 1500 consumer sub stations in the geographical area of 9951 km2.

I utilised the manpower resources of my division (90 people) in 3 working groups mainly in,

Maintenance and augmentation of the 33kV network (Lines, Gantries, LBS (Load break switches), ABS (Air break switches), substations etc.)

Construction of short 33kV lines and new 33kV/400V new substations.

Shifting and alteration of lines where it was required for road expansion projects in area.

At the time that I was taken over the duty, Budulla city daily experienced serious power disturbances due to the long radial 33kV feeder arrangement. To overcome this situation I designed, got the approval, and implemented a separate 33kV feeder for the city area that isolate the city area from distant line faults. The implementation was done with a minimum cost with no additional resources. Since this modification increased the power supply reliability in the city area in a higher extent, the management proposed the same arrangement also for Nuwaraeliya city.

Another major problem that I observed is the delay of power supply restoration after failures of 33 kV lines. This was mainly due to the inefficient method of fault locating and isolation of faulty line segments. Because of this, I Introduced remote fault locators and installation of remote controlled auto-reclosers to be able to control and operate the 33kV network more efficiently.

During the time, power distribution system in Walapane Hanguranketha area was heavily destroyed by a series of earth slips and floods due to heavy rain. There I planned and successfully restored the power supply system within 14 days by employing my work groups. I personally attended and encouraged them by giving the necessary coordination.

In addition to my normal duties and responsibilities I worked as a member and convener of procurement Technical Evaluation Committees. I prepared Bidding documents and technical evaluation reports for engineering products and services, such as purchasing of medium voltage line equipment and switchgears (in large scales), Vehicles, Manpower services, registration of contractors for line construction and consumer service connections etc.

Period:02 Years

Employer:Ceylon Electricity Board (UVA Province)

Job Title:Area Electrical Engineer (Badulla)

In November 2007, with the experience gained in the distribution maintenance division, I was appointed to the post of Area Electrical Engineer (Badulla), where it has higher responsibilities in consumer affairs and finance.

Badulla district area electrical engineer division consist nearly 3000 km2 land area and 100,000 electricity consumers. I worked as the head of the branch and the total manpower available was 200 employees. Some of main duties of the area engineer are,

Operation of 33kV and 400V power network in the area while improving the service and power quality.

Electricity billing, revenue collection and minimizing losses. (monthly revenue LKR 227 million)

Handling the legal and social matters that arise in the above activities.

Providing new service connections and termination of unused supply connections.

Planning and organizing power interruptions for maintenance purposes.

Resolving consumer problems and complains.

Preparation and control of annual budget (Above LKR100 million excluding cost of energy sale).

Carrying out necessary disciplinary procedures when it was required (Eg. Accidents of electrocutions, Violating of CEB rules and regulations, Preliminary investigations etc.)

When I took over the duty in the area, consumer bill arrears has been summed up to more than LKR 800 million which is 3 months revenue. I speeded up recovering the due amount using new methodologies and intensifying the disconnection program of the area. Offered appraisal letters for the staff who contributed to collect the consumer bill arrears in a short time period. Enforced the process of disconnecting unused consumer connection and reduced 7000 zero bill consumers to 1500 and closed the accounts and took the legal actions against the bulk supply consumers who refused to pay bill arrears. These activities brought my area to 2nd place of the province among the other 4 area engineer divisions in revenue collection rate.

When I studied the Breakdown reports, it was found that the major reason for line faults of 33kV system was the poor way-leave clearance. Then I re-assessed the manpower requirement for way-leave clearance and employed additional contractors and eventually improved the power quality. In the same way the “Power Distribution Centre (PDC)” of Badulla general hospital was found very unsatisfactory and therefore I proposed to the management to install a new standardized power distribution system to be able provides a reliable power supply. Also I revised the terms and conditions of hospital electrical maintenance contract to improve the maintenance quality. I analysed the breakdown reports and got the assistance of distribution maintenance division to revise the arrangement of Drop Down Lift-Off (DDLO) fuse locations according the expansion of the 33kV system.

Because of the previous experience gained in restoration of power supply at disaster situations, I successfully organized the work teams for especial contingency power supply projects such as general elections, large scale congregations etc. (Eg. Mahiyangana Temple parade).

In Identifying the difficulties faced by the consumer at the office, I Improved the consumer and staff relationship by upgrading the office environment, providing consumers easy access to the relevant officers to solve their problems. I Increased the computer facilities and developed the document formats that were commonly used. Also I arranged a training program on Japanese 5S system to prepare my staff for the implementation of 5S. I identified the requirements of proper file storage arrangements and protection of the

Employer:Ceylon Electricity Board, Lakvijaya(Puttalam Coal power project)

Job Title:Project Engineeer (Electrical)

Since I possessed a considerable work experience in power generation I applied for the 300×3 MW Puttalam Coal power project and was selected to the post of project electrical engineer.

My main duty was to identify the gap between design and the actual installations of electrical systems in the site and take necessary measures and reporting the construction progress. There I comprehended that there are many defect arises due to the fault of bad workmanship of Chinese construction technicians. To minimizing these construction defects participated project progress meetings daily and produced the inspection reports and noncompliance reports. I reviewed the electrical method statements of the contractor and approved/recommended with corrections where it was required. In the design review I found the IP class (Ingress Protection Rating) of some panels and equipment that does not comply the requirements of coastal environment of the site location, and reported to the project management for the use of correct IP class equipment.

I witnessed the testing and inspected the installations of following electrical systems in the first 300MW stage of the project

6kV and 400 V power distribution centres and MCC 6kV and 400V motors 60 kVA UPS systems DC systems and Battery banks Industrial building wirings Various type of transformers up to 360 MVA capacity Control, 6kV and 400V cables, cable trays GIS system UNITROL 5000 Excitation system.

Since there were many foreign consultants (Pöyry- Finland) worked together, I had the opportunity to sharing knowledge and practices of electrical engineering through discussions.

In March 2010 I was selected for 70 days training on Coal power plant operation and maintenance in China. The training was organized by CHDOC power plant operation Co. Ltd China and it was included a 14 days training on Emerson Ovation-XP Configuration at Emerson Process Management training centre-Shanghai, 10 days power plant simulator training at Siliquan power plant training centre and remaining 36 days of practical and class room training on coal power generation in Beijing.

Employer:Ceylon Electricity Board, Lakvijaya (Puttalam Coal) power Station.

Job Title:Electrical Engineer (Main Power Division)

After returning to Sri Lanka I was assigned to the post of electrical maintenance Engineer in the “main power area” of first 300MW stage of the 900MW Puttalam Coal power project which was eventually named as Lakvijaya power station.

In the first 12 months until the plant commenced the commercial operation on 22 March 2011, I mainly engaged in plant commissioning activities and preparation works for the future maintenance works. This was a challenging course of actions since everything has to be planed newly and acquire all the necessary resources. In the commissioning period, I participated in commissioning activities as an engineer of the client side and compared the commissioning data with the specifications and reported to the management. I mainly supervised the following systems, 220V battery bank, DC distribution system and 2×60kVA UPS system. 6kV Station service power system and fast bus transfer. 6kV and 400V motors. 220kV GIS system. 300MW generator.

With help of commissioning experience, I prepared maintenance plans for the electrical maintenance division (main power block), collecting data from OEM manuals and as built technical documentations.

My next concern was to make sure the availability of required amount of spare parts, tools, equipment and consumables. I assessed the requirement with the help of available technical documentations and by discussing with the warranty engineers. Approval was taken for the prepared list and purchased and imported them from the relevant

manufacturers following the CEB procurement guidelines.

At the end of commissioning period of the first phase, the plant was taken over by the CEB on 22 March 2011. Since then about 400 defect notices were cleared under my division. When I restore these defects, I recognized the following important design and construction shortcomings/problems and some of them were solved and for the others, proposals were forwarded to the management. Some of these identified problems are given bellow.

Two 60 kVA UPS system power supply does not meet with design criteria, hence in some occasions unable to go for safe shut down at plant tripping.

Defect in the 360 MVA main transformer which was not correctly identified by the manufacturer, even after 2 major opened internal inspections. Following the user manuals I found the cause of the fault is the incorrect installation of the 220kV HV bushing, and then the manufacturer agreed and rectified the fault.

Insufficient capacity of the 6kV close cycle cooling water pump motor and hence not being able to operate the plant at 5% designed 6kV station service voltage tolerance. Due to this reason, increased “Number of operations per day” of the 360 MVA main transformer on-load tap-changer, to maintain the station service voltage.

Various modifications of the protection system that was required for improving the plant reliability and efficiency.

Proposed and installed a stand-alone air condition system for excitation system to improve the operation reliability in the coastal environment.

Proposed a carbon dust extraction duct for the generator brush gear to prevent carbon dust accumulation in surrounding panels and equipment.

Since the main transformer tap changer oil required changing quarterly, I proposed and fixed an online oil filter for the on load tap changer (OLTC).

These proposals were also submitted to the 600 MW Phase II project managers and implemented the solutions in the phase II project constrictions, with the consent of the design institute.

In December 2012, it was required to connect 40MVA wind power plant, to our GIS (Gas Insulated Switch Gear System) outside to the main construction plan. The contractor required to isolate the 220kV GIS for this job, and the power plant faced a critical problem of getting 10MVA station service power supply during the this 30 day GIS outage period. After studying all the available options, I proposed to install a 33/6KV substation for getting emergency power, from the local utility distribution 33 kV power line. This was designed to give 10 MVA 6kV power supply at a minimum cost and most importantly Job was successfully completed including the transformer protections, controls, underground cables and switchgears, within 20 days from design to commissioning. Because this was able to finish on time we were able to continue unloading coal from the ship without any demurrage charge, saving USD 1,050,000.00 to CEB.

The power plant was capable to maintain an availability factor above 85% but, due to various technical failures, it was failed and tripped 18 times, after starting the commercial operation. Even though this gave a bad image to the power plant, we were able to restore the plant and study causes behind the every failures and take the necessary preventive actions, to improve the reliability of the plant. In the failures I analysed the cause of failure, gave solutions and prepared technical reports working with other engineers, as a team. Some of these eminent incidents are,

Internal fault and abnormal noise of newly installed 360 MVA power transformer (Identified defect of the installation method of HV bushings and replaced the bushing after a complete test and inspection )

The turbine bearing seized due to a fault of the emergency diesel generator at a plant tripping. (rectified the fault of the emergency diesel generator and proposed to install a DC jacking oil pump)

Failure of 60kVA UPS system (Rechecked all UPS systems) of 13



V11.2 April 2014

Plant tripping due to negative sequence current of the 6kV station service power system. (Identified that the negative sequence protection setting is below the correct level of all the 6kV motors and revised the setting to the optimum value).

Except the above special activities, I carried out following general maintenance related activities in the Lakvijaya power station during the past four years.

Planning and completing the first annual maintenance “of the main power division” of Lakvijaya power plant.

Routine and preventive maintenance of 300MW hydrogen cooled generator, 220kV Gas Insulated switchgear system, and other auxiliary system in the 300MW Lakvijaya coal power station. (E.g. 6kV/220kV, 400V AC DC systems, Transformers Up to 360MW, 6kV high power motors, and Distributed control systems etc.)

Worked as an operation engineer at the main DCS control room as an additional duty when it was required. There, I was able to practice plant star-up and stopping processes and gain knowledge on overall plant operation.

Rectification of many electrical faults and defects the power plant.

Reviewed completeness and compatibility of the as build drawings and maintenance manuals for taking over from the contractor.

Preparation of annual maintenance budget for the my division

In the first year of the power plant I was able to undergo a one year on-the-job training, offered by the client of the project (CEB), with the collaboration of the contractor China Machinery, and Engineering Corporation (CMEC) and CHDOC Power Plant Operation CO., LTD (China). The training was given by the instructors of the manufactures of individual plants and equipment of the power plant. In addition to this, I participated in short time training programs arranged by CEB on Excitation systems, industrial safety and first aid, maintenance management, power system stability etc.

Since I have gained sufficient experience in GIS systems, I was selected for 7 days factory inspection test at Xian XD Switchgear Electric Co. LTD China. In the factory, I witnessed factory acceptance test of the GIS equipment of Puttlam Coal Power Project phase ii, and reported the identified defects, to be corrected before the shipment to Sri Lanka.

During the past few years I was able to be competent on the following computer application programs, as a result of studding them for the use in my working environment and studies. Ovation™ (Emerson distributed control system): Received OEM training and used at

maintenance activities in the power plant. IPSA (Interactive Power System Analysis) and PSCAD (Power System Computer Aided

Design): Studied in PG. Dip. program and applied for load flow & fault level studies. PROTEUS ISIS and MPLAB: Practiced in microcontroller programming. AutoCAD and other general application programs

Job Title:Electrical Engineer (MPB/Unit 01 Maintenance )

By completing 10 years work experience after BTech. Eng. graduation and following substantial professional development training programs that is described above, I applied for IEng professional registration in Engineering council through IET. After the evaluation, the IET and engineering council UK offered me IEng professional registration on 18th September 2014.

In the meantime, I registered for the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management in Wayamba University of Sri Lanka on 16-06-2013 and successfully completing the one year course received the PG Dip (BM). Presently I am doing the academic research “Factors causing employee job stress in coal electric power generation industry in Sri Lanka” that is leading to the Master of business administration of the same postgraduate course.

Since there are many “Programmable logic controllers” (PLC) applications in the power plant, I update and refresh my knowledge on PLC programming installation and maintenance, by following 5 day course in the Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies – Sri Lanka (From 15-09-2014 to 19-09-2015)

V11.2 April 2014

Considering the career advancements I gained through IEng professional registration and the postgraduate qualification in business management, the higher management of CEB widened my work scope and responsibilities by promoting me to the post of maintenance electrical engineer of the complete 300MW unit 1 plant of Lakvijaya power station that include “300MW manpower block, 325MW Main boiler, and the ESP (electrostatic precipitator) of the power plant.

In the new position (Electrical maintenance engineer of the 300MW unit 01 power plant), I conducted the following special jobs in addition to the routine and preventive maintenance duties.

I planed the 1st major overhaul of the 300MW unit 01, estimating requirements of manpower, tools, sparer parts, equipment, and listing out overhaul tasks schedules.

Scheduled and purchased the above estimated spare parts calling quotations and bids from the relevant manufacturers (value of more than USD 800,000.00)

Purchased a 9000 l/h transformer oil purification plant by calling international competitive bidding for the maintenance of 360 MVA transformers.

In august 2014 the power plant was suddenly tripped due to a turbine fault and the two 60KVA UPS system failed to deliver power to the main DCS (Distributed control system) in that critical moment. In my fault analysis it was found that one of the two UPS has an internal fault but the other healthy UPS could not provide power to DCS due to inappropriate output switching configuration and bus arrangement. I proposed change the UPS output and input source switching system and keep the bus coupler open, providing duplicate power to DCS. With the acceptance of the management, the proposed modifications were implemented and the problem was solved.

Conducted training programs on coal power generation for 3rd year engineering undergraduate in-plant training students, 4 hours in every week for 10 months.

In May 2015, I participated to a 10 days course on High voltage circuit breaker, On Load Tap Changers (OLTC) and Inter-bus transformers in China (Heze and Hangzhou). The course was conducted by the OEMs SIEMENS and DACHI at their factories in China. The course content was exceptionally relevant to my current work scope since it was provided us practical and theoretical knowledge of the type of equipment that we are works in the site. (certificates are attached)

Presently I am carrying out the 1st major overhaul of the 300MW unit 01 of Lakvjaya coal power station under my leadership. The overhaul is planned to complete within 100 days and it was started on 6th June 2015. So far I have been conducted the following special maintenance and condition monitoring activities in the plant overhaul.

300MW generator disassembling and rotor extraction HV DC Ramp test of the generator stator winding for diagnostic of stator insulation condition (WUHAN TESTYLE TE2120) Generator stator “Electromagnetic Core Imperfection Detection” (EL CID) Test (ADWEL Digital EL CID Model 601 tester) Rotor and stator ac and dc resistance test (OMICRON CPC 100 tester) Generator stator slot wedge tightness test (ADWEL WTD Model 501 tester) Overhaul and condition monitoring tests of 6kV motors Simulation testing and calibration of generator protection, 6kV fast bus transfer system, Digital fault recorder, and synchronous-scopes Stator tan delta (capacitance) test (OMICRON CPC 100 tester +CPTD 1 CPCR 500 Partial discharge test (OMICRON CPC 100 tester +CPTD 1 CPCR + Corona probe
