Ron, Val, Jeff and Russell:

Please read the attached test performed by Russell. He installed a calibrated
watt/watthour meter and noted the difference between this meter and the
turbine kWh readings. There was only 1% difference, well within the
calibration and accuracy coefficients of the turbines metering system.

This test confirms what we already suspected, that the turbine kWh meter is
recording near correct. Since the values of this metering are stored in the
Bachmann, the reporting on the VisuPro program is what is getting mixed up.
We also know that there are problems when the metering totals are reset by
site operators.

Our information systems group can help with determing the nature of these
problems, but they must be placed in the loop. They already download the raw
kWh meter readings from the Bachmann controller and use these to determine
actual production values. These values must be compared to the system
metering at the substation. Both Information Services and SCADA need feedback
from the site operators on the reading from the sub-station point-of-sale
metering to help determine the nature of our problems, especially at Trent
Mesa.

Hats off to Russell for putting together this important test.

Regards

KLC

Here is the info from turbine 89. It still looks like the turbine meters are
reading ok.
