This is a turnkey contract, isn't it? If so, then the original equipment manufacturer's commissioning procedure should be followed. The procedure should contain all the information on the testing needed and the criteria for performance testing. Check the contract documentation.

Thanks a lot.However what I wanted to know was apart from the agreed tests to prove performance there must be other tests which are mandatory before commissioning.Any reference to this will be appreciated.Also when the efficiency is evaluated at various loads do the field losses to be taken into account?

Thanks again
