Based on the integrated nature of the Pinnapuram IREP 01 project (incorporating solar, wind, and pumped storage), the following emergency scenarios are recommended for mock drills to ensure preparedness against key hazards.

 As per Shri SKB Valli sir to do study on emergency Scenario at Pinnapuram.

Based on the integrated nature of the Pinnapuram IREP 01 project (incorporating solar, wind, and pumped storage), the following emergency scenarios are recommended for mock drills to ensure preparedness against key hazards. 

1. Fire Fighting Mock Drills (Solar Specific)

Cable Trench/Inverter Fire: A short circuit in the solar inverter station causes a fire. Focus: Rapid isolation, use of ABC dry powder extinguishers, and firefighting team response.

Transformer/Switchyard Fire: Fire outbreak in the power evacuation transformer station. Focus: High-voltage safety protocols, foam tender deployment.

Grass/Vegetation Fire: Due to high heat and dry vegetation near solar panels, a fire spreads rapidly. Focus: Firebreak creation and controlling fire spread to solar arrays. 

2. Medical Emergency Scenarios

Snake Bite Scenario (Highly Recommended): A technician working on ground-mounted solar panels in a remote area is bitten by a snake.

Key actions: Immobilization of the limb, immediate transportation, and antivenom availability.

Heat Stroke/Heat Exhaustion: A worker collapses while doing manual work in the solar field during peak, hot hours. Focus: Immediate cooling, hydration, and medical attention.

Food Poisoning: A significant number of workers at the labor camp complain of illness after lunch. Focus: Medical logistics, transportation, and investigation. 

3. Electrical & Physical Hazard Scenarios

Electrocution Scenario: An electrician receives an electric shock while working on a 400kV pooling station or solar inverter.

Key actions: Safe rescue, CPR, and swift medical evacuation.

Fall from Height/Slip & Trip: A worker falls from a mounting structure or slips on a slick surface during maintenance. Focus: Rescue from elevated structure, immobilization, and trauma care.

Confined Space/Trench Collapse: During construction of underground utilities or piping, a trench collapses, trapping a worker. Focus: Rescue team mobilization and excavation. 

4. Site-Specific Scenarios

Dam Safety/Reservoir Incident: An emergency situation due to high water level or suspected failure in the upper/lower reservoir embankment.

Vehicle Accident with Hazardous Material: A chemical truck for the plant overturns on the approach road. 

Recommended Mock Drill Procedures

Activate Alarm/Siren: Initiate the emergency alarm immediately.

Incident Control: Site In-charge (Incident Controller) takes charge.

Evacuation & Assembly: All personnel to assemble at the designated assembly point for headcount.

Rescue & First Aid: Trained Emergency Response Team (ERT) to rescue victims and provide first aid.

Ambulance & Hospital Transfer: Evacuation to the nearest medical facility (e.g., in Panyam or Kurnool).

Debriefing: Evaluate the response time and identify areas for improvement.
