INTRODUCTION OF TNB
Sultan Ismail Electric Generation Station, Paka (SJSI Paka) is located in
Terengganu. It is located about 100km away from Kuala Terengganu. SJSI Paka
is the first combined cycle operating station and also one of the biggest among
Tenaga Nasional. The station can generate 1200 MW and with this, the station is
considered to be the third largest combined cycle electric generation station in
Malaysia. This station use natural gas as their main fuel and diesel as an
alternative. The natural gas is supplied by Petronas Gas Processing Plant nearby.

TNB VISION AND MISSION

Vision : To be Among the Leading Corporations in Energy and Related
Businesses Globally
Mission : We Are Committed to Excellence in Our Product and Services

STATUS OF PAKA POWER STATION

Area : 216 acres
Date started : October 1981
First gas Turbine synchronized : October 1984
First combined cycle completed : January 1986
At present consist of 4 blocks combined cycle staff 50 executives, 200 non
executives
Total cost (phase I and II) are > RM 1200 Million.
There are four combined cycle blocks :a) Phase I = 900 MW
b) Phase II = 280 MW

NATURE PROCESS

In a combined cycle process, electric is generated with the combination of gas

turbine, waste heat boiler and steam turbine. Gas turbine will suck the air from
surrounding and compress it with a compressor. The compressed gas then will
be mix with fuel in the combustion chamber. Combustion will occur and hot gas
with will turn the turbines blade thus rotating the rotor inside it. The rotation
with maximum rotation of 3000 rpm will then generate the electricity.
In an open cycle, a gas turbine will release the combustion product
through stack to the surrounding and this is a waste of heat energy contain
inside it. Therefore, to avoid wasting that energy, the heat will then channeled to
waste heat boiler. This heat will help to boil the water inside the boiler to turn it
into steam. Waste heat boiler can create two type of high temperature steam
which is high pressure and low pressure steam. The steam with high pressure
will be transferred to turbine steam cylinder. The steam will expand in the steam
turbine thus rotating the turbine shaft that is connected to generator thus
producing electricity.
Bypass system cause the steam to flow directly into condenser. This helps
to save time and prevent the steam from entering the steam turbine before its
time. In a half block operation, one steam turbine will operate with a gas turbine
and boiler. As a result, it helps the steam turbine to works even any of gas
turbine or boiler is out for maintenance. Steam turbine must be stop if both gas
turbine and boiler cannot be operated.

NJURY PYRAMID

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms such as sharp
edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other
potentially dangerous situations. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) require that employers protect their employees from
workplace hazards that can cause injury.
Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect employees.
Depending on the hazard or workplace conditions, OSHA recommends the use
of engineering or work practice controls to manage or eliminate hazards to the
greatest extent possible. When engineering, work practice and administrative
controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must
provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to their employees and ensure its
use. Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is
equipment worn to minimize exposure to a variety of hazards.

The Requirement for PPE

To ensure the greatest possible protection for employees in the workplace, the
cooperative efforts of both employers and employees will help in establishing
and maintaining a safe and healthful work environment.
Basically, employers are responsible for:
Performing a "hazard assessment" of the workplace to identify and
control physical and health hazards.
Identifying and providing appropriate PPE for employees.
Training employees in the use and care of the PPE.
Maintaining PPE, including replacing worn or damaged PPE.
Periodically reviewing, updating and evaluating the effectiveness of the
PPE program.
As for the employees, they should:

 Properly wear PPE,

Attend training sessions on PPE,
Care for, clean and maintain PPE, and
Inform a supervisor of the need to repair or replace PPE.
Training Employees in the Proper Use of PPE
Employers are required to train each employee who must use PPE. Employees
must be trained to know at least the following:
When PPE is necessary.
What PPE is necessary.
How to properly put on, take off, adjust and wear the PPE.
The limitations of the PPE.
Proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of PPE.
Employers should also make sure that each employee demonstrates an
understanding of the PPE training as well as the ability to properly wear and use
PPE before they are allowed to perform work requiring the use of the PPE. If an
employer believes that a previously trained employee is not demonstrating the
proper understanding and skill level in the use of PPE, that employee should
receive retraining. Other situations that require additional or retraining of
employees include the following circumstances such as changes in the
workplace or in the type of required PPE that make prior training obsolete.
The employer must document the training of each employee required to wear
or use PPE by preparing a certification containing the name of each employee
trained, the date of training and a clear identification of the subject of the
certification.

ACCIDENTS

 Major National Blackout

A widespread power outage in Peninsular Malaysia began at 17:17 on 3 August
1996. The states of Peninsular Malaysia lost power for several hours.
This blackout is due to a transmission line near Sultan Ismail Power
Station in Paka, Terengganu tripped at 5:17pm causing all power stations in
Peninsular Malaysia to collapse resulting in a massive power failure. Supply
was back to normal by 11pm ; almost 6 hours without electricity.
The weekend power outage was the third in the past four years, and the worst
since In the wake of that capacity-related stumble, the government moved to
allow five independent power producers to enter the electricity-generation
business. After this incident, utility giant TNBs stock fell significantly.

CONCLUSION
Life would be very different without electricity. Based on industrial visit
to Stesen Janaelektrik Sultan Ismail (SJSI) in Paka, a lot extra knowledge and
information had been given by the staff about electricity generation and
distribution during the talk session. The visit in the System Room allowed the
students to experience and familiarized with the work environment and it was
the best opportunity to explore more about electricity that related to
Occupational, Safety and Health (CHE 301) subject. Besides, the purpose of
this program, which is to satisfy the requirement needed by Process Plant and
Maintenances (CHE 324) and Occupational, Safety and Health (CHE 301)
subjects is achieved.
It is generally agreed that there are six basic sources of electricity. These
are heat, light, friction, pressure, magnetism and chemical action. Of these,
magnetism is the most important, contributing by far the largest portion of
electrical production worldwide. Power generators, whether hydroelectric or
fuelled by coal, oil, gas or nuclear power, all use magnetism as the actual means

of electricity generation. In the SJSI, the station used natural gas as the basic
source and diesel as an alternative way in generating electricity. The process of
generation, transmission and distribution electricity that involved many
concepts of power plant process allowed the students more understand
technically in spite of all the theories that had studied in subject Process Plant
and Maintenances (CHE 324).
Electrical injury implies the disturbance of anatomical structure of tissues and
organs and interruption of their function. The injuries may be due to direct
passage of electric current through the human body or due to an effect of strong
electromagnetic field or due to arc and flash over affecting the human body.
During the visit, the students explored more about the safety measures that had
studied theoretically in subject Occupational, Safety and Health (CHE 301) on
how to maintain a safe environment during manage a job. Lastly, the industrial
visit to SJSI in Paka had give many input to the students as career preparation
and work-based learning experiences.
