The independent power producer (IPP) in Kimanis, Papar will be conducting a load rejection test today. Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) said the test would be conducted for 30 minutes from 5pm and involve an energy load of 72 MW.
Load Rejection Test (LRT)
To understand what is LRT, I've quoted Hurricane193 here: "Load rejection test means to test the engine performance with no load condition after running with full load. Simply, the test done to check the engine and generator performance in case generator circuit breaker suddenly trip due to fault in upper network."
"The test process is very important to the IPP station to begin channeiling the Sabah Interconnection Grid System. It involves load rejection by the IPP and sudden reduction of the grid system frequency to a controlled level." - Muhamad Nazri Pazil, Senior General Manager (Asset management) SESB.
SESB would take early initiatives, including making a computer simulation of the MW loss to the grid system to ensure there was no impact on the consumers when the test was being conducted.
Consumers were encouraged to contact the SESB at 15454 or 088-515000 if their area experienced a power failure. SESB assured that immediate action would be taken on all complaints sent through the official channels.
TheGreenMechanics: This should be good news as we've been waiting for the excess capacity to cater for the increasing energy need in Sabah. Finger crossed, this will be successful.
On the issue of power failure, there is also an emergency line you can contact SESB during 'emergency' cases.
But from personal experience, the staff maning the call centre (emergence number) would insist that you call 15454 or 515000 instead before they can mobilise the stand-by team. I strongly believe SESB should give exception when it involve facilities that concern the public such water works, hospitals, etc.

A LRT is normally bad news.
Oops!!
The LRT has been deferred, due to problem with gas supply for IPP.
Excerpt of BERNAMA report yesterday:
Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB)dimaklumkan berlaku masalah teknikal di Terminal Minyak dan Gas Sabah (SOGT) sehingga mengakibatkan gas tidak dapat disalurkan kepada Stesen Janakuasa Bebas (IPP) di Kimanis dan mengakibatkan kehilangan keupayaan sebanyak 130 MegaWatt (MW) tenaga daripada sistem itu.
Menurut SESB dalam satu kenyataan, masalah itu seterusnya menyebabkan pelaksanaan catuan bekalan elektrik.
Pada masa yang sama, set janakuasa sedia ada yang berdayaharap hanya dapat menjana sekitar 800MW (MegaWatt) tenaga elektrik sahaja dalam sehari berbanding permintaan tertinggi yang pernah direkodkan iaitu sebanyak 874.4MW.
"Ini adalah disebabkan beberapa set janakuasa besar milik Stesen Janakuasa Bebas (IPP) dan SESB mengalami kerosakan serius dan memerlukan tempoh masa yang lebih panjang untuk diperbaiki," menurut kenyataan itu.
Menurut SESB, masalah kekangan gas luar jangka itu juga telah memaksa penundaan ujian pembuangan beban yang sepatutnya dilaksanakan oleh Stesen IPP berkenaan pada hari ini, ke tarikh dan masa yang akan ditetapkan kelak.
