Condenser : One Pass Isolation

1 Ensure the availability of both condenser de-watering pumps.
2 Decrease the load to 300 – 350 MW
3 Ensure that both CW interconnection valve are opened
4 Start Stand by Vacuum pump

Generator Air tightness Test

TEST PROCEDURE: -
1) Air Filling valve is to be opened for flushing of line & removal of moisture in atmosphere.
2) Chemistry is to take sample for dew point measurement. After chemistry clearance , Filling process
has to be continued.
3) Close the waste gas (vent) valves.

APH Hot Washing

1 Water washing of air heaters should be carried out in hot condition after boiler shutdown.Flue gas inlet temperature should be between 200 deg C to 150 deg C
2 Both FD/ID/PA fans should be in stopped condition
3 All APH flue gas outlet damper should be closed

Stopping one FD Fan

1 Reduce the load to 400 MW & then remove from CMC
2 Before Unloading FD Fan (to be stopped ),The following
Permissive & Protection to be kept bypassed :
“FD Fan ON & Discharge Gate close” permissive to be given
“FD Fan ON & Discharge gate auto open” to be bypassed.

Stopping one PA Fan

1 Reduce the load to 300 MW & then remove from CMC
2 Keep 4 consecutive Mills in service. If required , take oil guns in service

Stopping one ID Fan


  1. Reduce Load to 300MW
  2. Start Unloading corresponding FD fan & increase loading of other FD Fan through blade pitch.

Stopping one PAPH


  • Reduce Load to 300MW
  • Slowly close flue gas outlet damper for PAPH which has to be stopped

Stopping one SAPH


  • Reduce Load to 300MW
  • Slowly close flue gas outlet damper (2 in no. )for APH which has to be stopped
  • Adjust other PAPH/SAPH flue gas outlet damper
  • Close flue gas inlet damper
  • Close SCAPH inlet , outlet & bypass damper. During Closing , Observe Air Flow.
  • Close SAPH air outlet damper (2 in no.)
  • Stop the SAPH motor once flue gas inlet temperature reduced below 150deg C
  • Close Air motor main isolating valve & bypass isolating valve

Turbine Governing system



Key Points
Ø  Governing- Regulation of Turbine Speed under No Load and Varying Load
Ø  Others Works: CV Actuation/ Initial Run-up & Synchronization/ Load Variation to meet Grid Freq
Ø  500 MW KWU: Throttle Governed Machine
Ø  2 Governors , EHC and HG connected in Parallel: Only One at a time through Hyd Minimum slection
Ø  CVs Open according to Secondary oil Pressure
Ø  Between 100 MW  to 525 MW , Load variation done by HPCV throttling

Important Procedures



Vacuum Pulling : Procedure:
Ø  Close RH Vents, CRH, HRH UFT drains
Ø  Close Vacuum Breaker
Ø  Open 8.5 m steam Manual valve full Both (100%), Temp> 250 Deg ( Open
Ø  Start GSC Exhauster Fan
Ø  Start Both Vacuum pumps ( Casing Empty, Receiver tank Level adeq)
Ø  At -0.2 ksc charge steam gradually ( lower Controller from 50% à 0 %)
Ø  Build Vacuum upto -0.9 ksc

Hydrogen Purging



Ø  SLC AS SOP Off, SLC DC SOP Off, SLC H2 SOP Off
Ø  Suppy of DC SOP Off
Ø  Start one AC SOP ( DP=1.5 ksc)
Ø  Dew Point Air=<-10 Deg, clearance from Chemist
Ø  H2 (Isolated Position), CO2(Isolated Position), Air Inlet(Open), Casing vent ( Closed)
Ø  Fill and Pressurise upto 0.5 ksc

Cold start-up



Points to Remember
Ø  maximum of HP casing and HP shaft is less than 150°C(more than 5 days)
Ø  It requires soaking of Turbine at 360 rpm with steam(40ksc,360 Deg)
Ø  An upper limit of 200° C/hr. saturation temp gradients can be allowed, i.e. approximately the boiler pressure can be brought to 20 Kg/ Cm2 within an hour of cold start up
Ø  But actual temp gradient is limited by the thick walled Y piece provided in the main steam and HRH lines
Ø  maximum differential temp allowed between inner (98%) and mid wall temp (50%) is ±40°C
Ø  Start only two CC pumps in order to minimize flashing in down comers (and subsequent vibration) when the boiler water is in the range of 85° to 125° C

IBT Outage



Consequences on Stage-2 ( Station Transformer Tripped)
Ø  132 KV Switchyard dead results in tripping of -Station Transformers, Construction Transformer, Misc Transformer
Ø  All colony power( Lighting,Water supply) will get interrupted
