PFBC - COAL FIRED THERMAL POWER PLANT

LOAD CAN BE REDUCED BY THREE WAYS:
a. Fully manual ( up-to 5% )
b. LOAD MAY BE REDUCED UPTO 60% UNDER CMC mode then change over to
Pressure Control Mode or Manual Mode.
c. Load may be reduced up-to 40% under Pressure Control Mode, then change over to
Manual Mode.
At 60% load, Automatic Turbine Test (ATT) can be tested, if required.
REDUCE LOAD UPTO 40%
PROCEDURE OF CUTTING OUT A COAL MILL:
a. Reduce Coal Feeder position to minimum.
b. Stop Coal feeder.
c. Wait till Mill Motor Amps. Drops to minimum e.g. no load condition.
d. Stop Coal Mill Motor & Close all dampers.
Changeover Pressure Control Mode to Manual Load Control Mode.
Cut out HP Heaters.
Changeover Pegging Steam Source from Extraction to CRH.
Reduce Coal Feeding further & reduce load accordingly up-to 20 25%.
Monitor Scanners, if required cut in Oil Burners for flame support to avoid Flame Failure
Protection.
Cut out LP Heaters, change over UAT to Station Reserve Power source and Deaerator
pegging steam source from CRH to Aux. Steam source.
Feed Control Station to be changed over from High range to Low range.
Put HP-LP Bypass system into service.
Reduce Fuel & Load.
Trip Turbine at 5% load.
( GENERATOR PROTECTIONS CAN BE TESTED BEFORE TRIPPING OF TURBINE,
IF REQUIRED)
ENSURE :
i.
Turbine ESVs & IVs, CRH NRV, Extraction NRVs& Block Valve Closed.
ii.
Trip Oil Press. Zero & Control Oil Press. = 4.8 Kg/cm2.
iii. Generator Field Breaker Open.

iv.
AOP took start automatically at < 2950 rpm. Or at Control oil press. < 4.8 Kg/cm2.
v.
JOP took start automatically at < 510 rpm.
vi.
Barring Gear valve opened at < 210 rpm.
Ensure opening of the following drains:
i.
HP Casing drain, Seal Steam Header drain, before ESVs & Extraction NRVs,
after CRH NRVs, before / after IVs and NRVs.
ii.
Stop Barring if casing / shaft temp < 120 0C
iii. Stop CEP at casing temp of 100 0C
iv.
Shutdown Oil system at 80 0C to 90 0C

GENERATOR SIDE SHUTDOWN OPERATIONS

Reduce MVAR with load.
Changeover power supply from UAT to Reserve source at 20% load
Isolate H2 Coolers after 15 to 20 minutes of Generator tripping.
Reduce Exciter controller to minimum
Open Generator Breaker at 5% load.
Stop stator Water Pump ( If Stator Cooling System is in service)
Open line isolators.
Purge H2 by filling CO2 & purge the CO2 by filling dry compressed Air.
