I&C Design - Atlanta
Co-Op Second Rotation
Co-Op Round Two, The Path to Knowledge
Let’s Take A Moment To Meet Me
Daniel Schmidt Electrical Engineering Major
@ Georgia Institute of Technology GPA: 3.08/4.00 Expected Graduation: May 2018
Fun Fact I Know 6 Computer Languages (HTML, CSS, C++, Java,
VHDL, Assembly) Possibly more to come :D
Moving On…
What I’m Covering Today I&C Deliverable Checklist Loop Diagrams Misc. Projects Checkout/Startup @ Plant Hammond What I’ve Learned Future Goals
I&C Deliverables Checklist
Developed A Flow Chart Of DeliverablesWrote Checklists Breaking Down Each DeliverableLearned Processes Of A Project (The I&C Portion)Will Be Used By Project Managers
I&C Deliverables Checklist
Loop Diagrams
Typical Loop Diagram
Loop Diagrams
Developed Loop DiagramsUseful for Checkout, Startup, and TroubleshootingCombination of P&ID’s, Electrical Wiring Diagrams,
and IO ListDid Multiple Projects
Bowen Units 1-4 Ball Mill Common MATS Bowen Unit 3 & 5 MATS Reliability McIntosh Unit 1 ACI
Misc. Projects
Scherer As-BuiltsMade revisions on a large number of drawings, created
a good number of new drawings.Includes working with As-Builts Database
Yates Wiring Diagram RetrofitsModified existing drawings for retrofit purposes, also as-
built drawings. Barry Calcium Bromide Installation Details
Worked to create installation details for calcium bromide tanks
Plant Hammond Checkout
Plant Hammond Unit 1 is replacing it’s DCS controls from Foxboro to Ovation
All IO points, Digital and Analog, need to be switched over to Ovation wiring
Wiring needs to be verifiedCheck to ensure receiving signal, sending signal, reading
correctlyFunctional control testing
Following Target ZERO for SafetyPart of Startup as well
Plant Hammond Checkout
The ProcessUsing Ovation and PowerGraphix (and the small
applications bundled with) check each pointCommunicate with I&C Technicians in the fieldSend/Receive signals from components to ensure they
are workingIF not working, troubleshoot via multiple methodsVerify point shows correct value/rangeOnce working, point has been checked
This project has roughly 1600 points to check!
Plant Hammond Checkout
Plant Hammond Startup
Startup Phase Has Yet to BeginWhen IO Checkout Is Over, Startup Will Begin
Projected startup in MayStartup Is Functional Control Testing
Testing to make sure things work as plannedChecking trip conditionsChecking alarmsChecking logic for accuracy/completion
Checkout/Startup
Checkout/Startup is crucial for determining whether the DCS is configured properly or not
Why is DCS important?It controls the plantsThe DCS is an Ovation system in this case
In Ovation you build your logic that controls the componentsThe DCS handles trips, alarms, redundancies, and fail-
safes complying with Plant Procedure, ACE, NFPA, as well as Target ZERO
What I’ve Learned
AutoPLANT (Smart P&ID)Microsoft Visio (Flow Diagrams)Parts of Ovation (Foundational Knowledge)Further Understanding of Power PlantCheckout/StartupUnderstanding of Southern Style
Future Goals
Third Rotation with I&CContinued Training in Ovation Controls SoftwareFurther Work in Startup/CheckoutIncreased Project Involvement (Start to Finish) Continue on to finish my Bachelors for EE
(Halfway there!)
That’s All Of It!
