Black start procedure

Target:
Tests shall demonstrate the Black start capability of complex. When 11KV power supply
loosed, black start DEG will generate power supply GT and auxiliary load for start.
The procedure is following:

Start condition:
1)

LP/HP drum filling water to normal level

2)

Instrument air tank filling air

3)

Cooling water level normal

4)

Black start BDG and emergency BDG work normal

5)

GT auxiliary system work normal

6)

Disable parts of interlock for GT

7)

Open 220 kV breakers D2Q1 and D2Q3, #1.#2 main transformer low voltage

start

protection will operate, open HV/LV breakers,(including

#1,#2 high voltage auxiliary

transformers LV breakers),plant lose power, device status is following:

8)

#1#2 main transformer HV breakers and isolators open

9)

#1, #2 GCB open

10) #1,#2 high voltage auxiliary transformers LV breakers open

11) Low voltage auxiliary transformers TR-03 HV/LV breakers open
12) TR-01TR-02TR-04TR-07 HV/LV breakers are closed. Manually open HV
breakers, interlock will open LV breaker.
13) The breaker which power supply for canal station open
14) All the breakers for HV motor open
15) Open 11KV section I,II bustie switch
16) Bypass 11KV section I,II quick change over (FATS) function
17) Check and confirm MK- already receive permit dead bus close signal.

Start-up sequence
1 Start emergency DEG, supply power to GT MCC and other necessary load.
2 start black start DEGs, supply power to 11kV section I,
3 Close low voltage auxiliary transformer TR-01 HV break, energize for TR-01
4 Close low voltage auxiliary transformer TR-01 LV break, energize for 415V section I
bus bar.
5 Take out the PT fuse of DEG control panel
6 Energize for 415V section III bus bar.
7 Following are necessary load during startup:
GT MCC
demin water pump
LP feed water pump
air compressor (standby)
HSD pump
burner cooling fan
GT cooling water pump
industry water pump (standby)
GT close circle water pump
8 Start GT start motor
9 After GT start motor start, black start DEG will supply to some other load.
10

After GT rise speed to 60%, stop start motor

11

When GT at FSNL ,the following operate should be :

a)

Manually close the insulation switch J1Q30

b)

Select dead bus target in MKVI HMI

c)

From MKVI send command for close GT GCB J1Q1, GT automatic excite,
increase the voltage to 100%. If can excite manually, manually excite will be
selected preferentially.

12

When GT GEN voltage increase to rate voltage, the operation is following:

A.

Reduce voltage to 95% rate voltage, keep

B.

Select Isochronous target in MKVI HMI

HV system voltage at 220kv,

C. Close #1 main transformer HV insulation breakerD1Q11D1Q12 and

breaker D1Q1in turn, energize 220kv section 1 bus bar.
D. After

energize 220kv section 1 bus bar, close #2 main transformer HV

insulation breakerD3Q11D3Q12and

#2 main transformer HV breaker

D3Q1energize #2 main transformer and #2 auxiliary transformer.

Note: Before close #2 main transformer HV breaker D3Q1, the main transformer
low voltage interlock protection should be bypassed.
13

After energize #2 main transformers and #2 auxiliary transformer. Close #2

auxiliary transformer LV breaker and energize 11kv section II bus bar.

14

Energize 415v section II bus bar

15

Energize 415v section IV bus bar

16

Energize 415v section I bus bar

17

When GT running stable, start increase load.

18

Change over load from 11KV section I bus bar to 11KV section II bus bar

19

Stop black start DEG

20

Close 11KV section I inlet switch and take 11kv bus bar quick change over

system in
21
to

service

Put back the fuse of DEG control panel, change over 415V sectionbus bar load
415V section III bus bar ,emergency DEG will automatic stop

22

Start complex load

23

Enable GT interlock which was disabled for GT start.

24

Keep plant running stably for 30 minutes

25

Close D1Q31 and D1Q32 isolators, close line1 outlet breaker D1Q3

26

Shut down GT.

Re-start up plant normally mode.

Note:
At hot condition, HRSG HP drum feed water filling shall operated as following:
1. Within 2 hours after the boiler is stopped, the rapid cooling should be avoided and

make it in the closed state. During this period, its not allowed to fill water or
discharge water; the steam/water valves should be closed tightly.
2. After two hours, the certain opening can be opened to the atmospheric relief valve
for pressure relief. During the pressure relief, please pay attention to that the
material temperature difference of the boiler drum shouldnt surpass 40;
3. When the pressure of the boiler drum is dropped nearly to 0 MPa and the water
temperature of the boiler is less than 80, please open water discharge valves
and air valves of everywhere to discharge water.
4. At emergency condition, when the pressure of the boiler HP drum is dropped to less
than1 MPa , LP feed water pump can be started and fill water to HP drum, but
must control that the drum material temperature difference shouldnt surpass
40;
Then the plant can following the above procedure to start up.
