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.

6. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Local control of the sluice gates is the only present form of operation of the sluice gates. Control of

the sluice gates from control room is non-functional. The sluice gate characteristics are shown below;

Table 1: Features of the sluice gates

Parameter

Opening width 2.991metres

Opening height 5.099metres

Opening speed 1 metre per minute

Closing speed 3 metres per minute

Normal lift height 5.30 metres

Maintenance lift height 5.40 metres

Sill level 1111.910 metres

Operation is by hydraulic cylinder with hydraulic oil complying with ISO VG 32.

Gates weigh 18,322kgs with ballast

Hydraulic pump rated for 43 litres per minute and producing 100 bars to lift the gate

Pumps are run by duplex 11kW motors with direct on line starter. These pumps have a

section at the Main control panel from where they are controlled. Pump control shall be

designed with an interlock system to avoid control of the pumps simultaneously at

both remote and local stations

Position Monitor Assembly - Rotary limit switch potentiometer- Telemecanique XR2-AB10

size 10 Penny & Giles HRP18/1S/350/5K Ohms. This assembly is currently faulty and shall

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.

6.1 Main Control Panel

The main control panel is designed with a control section from which either of the six gates can be
