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
