NPS Sluice gates remote control 2
1. INTRODUCTION
Eskom Uganda Limited (EUL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eskom Enterprises SOC Limited of
South Africa, and is a limited liability company in Uganda. EUL is operating and maintaining both
Nalubaale Power Station (NPS) and Kiira power stations (KPS). Eskom Uganda Limited took over
the operation and maintenance of the two power stations on a 20 year concession and assignment
agreement, commencing on 1 April 2003. The Uganda Electricity and Generation Company Limited
remains the owner of the asset.
The Nalubaale Power Station forms the barrier that controls the discharge from Lake Victoria. As
part of the application of Best Practice with regard to dam safety, gated sluice ways were designed
into the complex as a way of ensuring flood control to maintain structural integrity of the dam in turn
mitigating risks to dam safety. These sluices are low level with a capacity of 1,200m3/sec.
Proper operation of these sluices is therefore very important as a way of ensuring dam safety given
that failure to operate them in a timely manner could have devastating effects. Remote operation of
those gates as opposed to current practice of local operation shall ensure quick response to
emergency situations as described in the emergency preparedness plan and it is for that reason that
remote operation is strongly recommended.
This document shall address the users’ need putting into perspective what is required.
2. BACKGROUND
The original design of the sluice gates incorporated their remote operation to ease that work but
currently, those gates are operated in local mode. The reason for local operation is that the control
cable that span from the gates to the control room was vandalised and from then on, the remote
operation has not been restored.
Remote operation of the gates should be reinstated because, in the event of an emergency that
would require the operation of those sluice gates as a corrective measure, local operation could be
too slow as one would have to make the trip to the gates yet remote operation available in the control
room would ensure quicker response to that situation.
EUL intends to reinstate remote operation to mitigate risks associated with local control of the gates.
3. OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this project is to restore the original design functionality of the remote control
system. The restoration of this remote control system shall mitigate the risk of slow response to an
emergency situation requiring timely control of the sluice gates.

4. DESIGN CONDITIONS
4.1 Control Room
The panels and associated components should be able to operate effectively in dusty
environment given the control room susceptibility to dust.
The indoor nature of the environment reduces the probability of contact with rain water. There
is air conditioning in the control room that runs the whole day every day.
4.2 At the sluice gates from where local control is executed
The outdoor nature of the panels makes the susceptible to dust, corrosiveness, rain fall and
ambient environment temperatures. The panels and associated components to be installed
shall take this into consideration.

need to be replaced by the contractor.
Local control can be achieved from either the main panel or any of the six local control panels.
Selection of control from either the main control panel or any of the six local control panels is done
at the main panel via six keyed switches with one for each of the six gates.
NB: The characteristics stated in Table 1 MUST not be altered by the new system installed.
Mains supply to the pumps and control section is isolated when the system is not in use and
then energized when gate operation is required.
The valves cutting off oil supply from the pumps are closed when operation is not needed
however, on commissioning of the system, those valves shall be kept open to ensure that the
gates are operated remotely without having to move to the local site to operate the valves
first.
