CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR
Position Title
Control Room Operator – Gas Turbine (Dual Fuel SCGT)
Department
Operations
Reporting To
Shift In-Charge / Operations Head
Role Objective
To safely operate and monitor the Gas Turbine Generator (GTG) and all associated auxiliaries from the DCS/control room, ensuring reliable generation, grid compliance, and smooth fuel switching (Gas to HSD).
Key Responsibilities
A. Plant Operation
- Operate and monitor:Gas Turbine (startup, loading, shutdown) Generator synchronization & loading Auxiliary systems (lube oil, cooling water, fuel systems)
- Execute:Cold / Warm / Hot starts as per procedures
- Maintain stable operation within OEM limits
B. Dual Fuel Management (Critical)
- Manage:Gas fuel system (pressure, temperature, flow) HSD system (forwarding, heating, viscosity control)
- Execute fuel changeover (Gas HSD) without load disturbance
- Monitor combustion parameters:Flame stability Exhaust temperature spread
- Prevent:Flameout / trips during fuel switching
C. DCS Monitoring & Control
- Continuous monitoring of:Alarms & trips Process parameters (Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Vibration)
- Respond to:Abnormal conditions System alarms and interlocks
- Maintain alarm discipline
D. Grid & Electrical Operations
- Synchronize generator with grid
- Maintain:Voltage Frequency Load as per grid code
- Coordinate with:SLDC / Load Dispatch Centre
E. Emergency Handling
- Handle:GT trips & emergency shutdowns Black start / emergency restoration (if applicable)
- Execute trip analysis (first-level)
F. Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain:Log sheets (hourly parameters) Shift reports
- Record:Trips Abnormalities Fuel consumption
