A building automation system or BAS is a network of controlling and monitoring devices mainly responsible for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control system in large facilities and commercial buildings. Building automation systems are most commonly implemented in large facilities such as healthcare facilities, schools, universities, hotels, residential buildings, and data centers. A BAS network allows building operators to supervise and control the HVAC systems from a centralized location known as the Building Management System or BMS. VAV system, the air handling unit (AHU) and the VAV boxes are physically separated from each other, and each one has its own controller, also distanced from one another. However, for a VAV system to operate effectively, the VAV Boxes and the AHU have to talk to each other; in other words, they need to share information to properly adjust their setpoints based on zone heating or cooling demand.
Power Plant Commissioning Procedure
Introduction
Commissioning a power plant ensures that all systems and components function as intended, laying the foundation for reliable and efficient operations.
Key Commissioning Steps
- Pre-commissioning Preparation
- Cold Commissioning (Mechanical and Electrical Tests)
- Hot Commissioning (Operational Testing Under Load)
- Performance Evaluation and Fine-Tuning
- Final Handover and Documentation
Safety Guidelines
- Ensure all systems are properly isolated during inspections.
- Conduct a thorough risk assessment for each stage.
- Provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to all personnel.
- Follow manufacturer-specific safety protocols.
