Procedure of turbine cold startup?

The startup condition of the turbine is considered as per inner casing


temperature of the turbine such as,
a) Cold start up If the casing temperature is < 200C.
b) Warm start up - If the casing temperature in between 200-300C.
c) Hot start up- If the casing temperature is > 450C.
Pre checklist for cold start up:-
1) Check all work completed and all permit is returned.
2) Confirm all interlock test of turbine is completed.
3) Check all level gauges and pressure gauges in operation.
4) Check cooling tower sump level should be normal level.
5) Check the oil level of MOT tank and control oil tank should be
normal.
6) Check the generator cooling water and lube oil cooling system is
normalized.
7) Check the compressor is system in running .
8) Check the ACW pump in running.
9) Check the circulating water pump(CW) in running.
10)Check the turbine lube oil pump is running and turbine is in barring
gear.
11) Check the generator air cooling system is in operation.

Procedure for turbine rolling:-


1) Start the CEP with minimum re circulation.
2) Start the gland steam system with auxiliary PRDS.
3) Start the gland steam blower and normalize Gland steam drain
system.
4) Maintain the gland steam temperature in between 121 to 177 deg c.
5) Start the vacuum pump or ejector for vacuum pulling.
6) Ensure the boiler develop rated pressure above 15 kg/cm2 &
temperature >360deg c
7) Put the HP and LP bypass system in operation for line warm-up.
8) Ensure all turbine drains are open condition.
9) Check the turbine lube oil temperature is in-between 38-42 deg c.
10) Check the differential expansion and eccentricity is normal.
11) Reset the turbine from governor panel.
12) Press the latching or start bottom to open the ESV.
13) Give command for rolling of turbine.
14) Check the turning gear and JOP automatically stopped when
speed reaches >300 rpm.
15) Press the hold button of turbine and hold the speed in 500rpm to
check the eccentricity < 0.076 mm, axial shift +- 1 mm and differential
expansion +- 6mm of turbine.
16) Continue the speed of the turbine with 40 rpm/min and speedup
the turbine speed during critical speed of 1850,2000 and 2200
respectively (as per designer).
17) Check the main oil pump comes in service and AOP is stopped
condition.
18) After turbine reached to full speed hold for some time and ensure
upper and lower casing temperature difference is within limit.
19) Ask the electrical people for synchronization.
20) Close all turbine drains after synchronization.
21) Increase load by follow of turbine cold startup load curve.
22) When the load is increase to 20% of full load charge the Extraction
line gradually.
23) Finally check all parameter of turbine is ok and increase turbine
load to full.
