- BC-1540.20.10Unit Start-Up & ShutdownBring units online, load them to the instructed output and take them offline safely, following procedures that protect the equipment.
- BC-1540.20.20Heat Rate & Efficiency MonitoringTrack fuel burned per unit of energy produced and act on deviations that waste fuel or signal an equipment problem.
- BC-1540.20.30Generation Fuel HandlingReceive, store, blend and feed fuel to units so supply never limits output and stock stays within plan.
- BC-1540.20.40Hydro Reservoir OperationsManage reservoir levels and water releases to generate when energy is most valuable while honoring flood control and river flow limits.
