This goal can only be achieved through a comprehensive ‘maintenance program. This maintenance program specifies activities to be performed with the unit in service to establish the actual condition at regular intervals (inspection = tests and recording of operating data) and to maintain the desired condition (maintenance), Inspection Schedule ‘The inspection schedule [1] includes. all essential testing and operating data recording activities as well as procedures to identify the condition of components. ‘The inspection schedule is supplemented by tables specifying the testing intervals, instructions and test records for comparison of the desired and actual conditions. Maintenance Schedule The maintenance schedule [2] contains all maintenance activities to be performed during turbine operation or outages at specified intervals. ‘The maintenance work to be performed during prolonged outages, e.g. overhauls, has been elaborated separately [3] Also refer to the following section: ee BHEL, Hardwar [1183-0010 Inspection Schedule [2}6.3-002... : Maintenance Schedule [3]6.3.0200.

They must, be performed before and during start-up of the turbine generator unit, irrespective of the time of the preceding shutdown. If all prerequisites for performance of the complete test program are not fuliled, reduced testing to ensure the readiness of the auxiliary, emergency and jacking oil pumps for operation must be performed. The scope of the test program for start-up of the turbine is to make sure that all tests required to be performed before startup after a shutdown period of approx. 4 weeks [1,2] have completed. Test procedures Tests, prerequisites, test activities and criteria in table form is intended to simplify testing. The symbols at the head of the columns in the tables are an aid to understanding the concise test instructions. ‘The tables are also suited to use as checklists. Whenever ‘no specific test instructions are prescribed for any test, the sequences shown in the table must be followed. ‘A number of tests require that certain components be in a definite position (e.g. main trip valves in operating position, stop valve closed etc.) ‘The operation sequence establishing certain operating Conditions is given in the form of general instructions to avoid constant repetition in the table of test sequences. Test Performance Take care to avoid any risks to people or machines while performing tests. Any simulated conditions necessary for the tests must be cancelled after completion of tests. ‘Steam inlet valve may only be operated for test purposes, If the piping systems upstream of the valves are not under pressure and the systems concerned have been ‘expressly cleared for testing, Test performance must be recorded If incorrect operation of the equipment being tested ‘occurs, take action establishing full operational reliability of the turbine generator unit immediately.

This instruction contains recommendations on the acquisition and archiving of operating data, ‘Scope of measurement and instrumentation ‘The scope of measurements and also, therefore, the instrumentation of the turbine generator unit are dictated by the agreements between plant operators and suppliers, The data are of importance for operations management. The scope of data recommended in Table-1 should therefore be available to permit post-event analysis. Scope of operating documentation Operating documentation comprises the following documents: + Printouts from continuous-line printer + Operating data logs or curves based on the data archived in the electronic data acquisition system + Alarm and switching logs ; such logs document the histories of faults or damage and should be archived + Logs with handwritten entries are required in cases where certain data are not recorded or archived + Logs used to document the long-term behavior of the turbine generator unit Documents showing the availabilty statistics ‘system * processing of analog measured values All the data specified in Table-1 should be archived in MAXSTORIAN of electronic data acquisition system. It should be possible to retrieve data in the form of logs or time curves at any time over the course of the intended archiving period. Long-term data archiving is to be done ‘on magnetic tape / disc. Only those values for an operating parameter should be ‘electronically archived which, after the scanning interval hhas elapsed, lie outside the scatter band given in Table-1 when compared to the last recorded value. += processing of binary signals Normally, binary signals resulting from annunciations and ‘switching operations are continuously printed out with high time resolution by the electronic data acquisition system, alarm and switching logs are thus generated which form an important source of information for operations management. For troubleshooting purposes, the alarm and switching logs printed immediately before, during and after the fault should be retained and archived. Documents for long-term monitoring of the turbine- generator unit Certain operating data should be recorded at long intervals in order to document the long-term behaviour of the turbine generator unit, as well as any data relevant in terms of life expectancy considerations. ‘The associated logs may be of use in analysing faults or damages if the cause can be traced back to or is indicative of a gradually developing adverse change Documents on availability statistics For the purpose of providing information on the operating behaviour and the status of the plant, it is recommended that availabilty statistics is compiled which show, among ‘other things, the causes and duration of periods of non- availabilty BHEL, Hardwar 6.3-0037-03/1 If the statistics show a frequent recurrence of an event which leads to plant non-availability, in-depth Investigations should be performed. Processing of operating documents + Fault report The control room personnel should prepare reports on fault or damage, showing all relevant data on the evolution of the event leading to the fault or damage, as well as the countermeasures implemented. Copies of the printouts from the continuous-line recorder or dotted-line recorder, operating data tables and curves generated by the electronic data acquisition system, and the fault and ‘damage lags should be appended to the fault or damage reports, + Evaluation of the fault report and the operating documentation Faults and damage usually occur when several adverse influences are present simultaneously. Because of the multiplicity of conceivable faults and their possible influencing factors, it Is not possible in this procedural instruction to present a reliable and complete picture of all the correlations involved. Itis the duty of the operator's or suppliers own experts to define the correlation between the event and the adverse influencing factors and to evaluate them and decide on countermeasures to be implemented. Retention period for documentation ‘The documents described above must be archived in a magnetic tape for consultation for a long time after the ‘operating data have been logged in order, among other things, to analyse any correlations between component status and operating conditions. + Documents containing operating data which are relevant in terms of life expectancy considerations must be archived unti the turbine generator unit is taken out of service. + Its recommended that all other documents be archived until the next inspection and overhaul has been completed, Importance of documents for settling guarantee claims ‘Without the data contained in the documents described above, the supplier of the turbine generator unit is not always able to check the legal validity of guarantee claims in the event of damage or a complaint regarding ‘component defects and may therefore reserve the right to reject any claims for which the requisite documents are not available Table-t lists the required operating data for acquisition ‘and archiving in accordance with the operating instruction, in order to permit evaluation of turbine performance.
