METERING SYSTEM VALIDATION FOR WELSH POWER STATION OPERATOR

Metering and Measurement Technicians from Technica Measurement have just returned from completing and annual metering system validation on behalf of a UK power station operator.

The power station in  Wales utilises natural gas to generate electricity for the UK national grid and uses turbine meters to measure the gas consumed on site. The metering system measures the gas consumed by the power station, which is used to calculate the CO2 emissions and reported annually to Natural Resources of Wales (a Welsh Government Sponsored Body).

Technica Measurement personnel utilised highly accurate, and UKAS calibrated test equipment as well as internally developed validation tools to validate the metering systems were operating within the requirements of T/PR/ME/2 part 3.

On completion of the metering system validation, the client was supplied with a report detailing all results recorded during the validation which then forms part of the maintenance records for the measurement system.

Performing important activities such as metering system validations ensures that measurement systems are operating within their agreed uncertainty budgets and with agreed accuracy limits.
