STANDARD OPERATION PRACTICE FOR TURBINE ROLLING - COLD START-

UP PROCEDURE.

PUTTING THE TURBINE ON BARRING GEAR:

IMPORTANT: - Minimum period of barring required for this turbine is 8 hours.

 Ensure Oil level in MOT (Main Oil Tank) is Healthy.

 Energize Heaters in MOT to raise the Oil Temp to 40-42°C.
 Start OVEF (Oil Vapor Extraction Fan) before starting AOP.
 Start AOP (Auxiliary Oil Pump) and put EOP (Emergency Oil Pump) in AUTO
mode.
 After Starting AOP Ensure OHOT (Over Head Oil Tank) Lvl is raised up to the
required Lvl.
 Ensure Lube Oil Header Pressure is as per recommended by OEM.
 Ensure Lube Oil Outlet flow through Sight Glasses provided.
 Start Barring Gear Motor.

PUTTING SURFACE CONDENSER IN TO SERVICE:

 Before starting CWP, Condenser air vents should be kept open to release air
pockets.
 Cooling Tower Sump water level should be raised to NWL.
 I/L & O/L valves of the Condenser should be kept OPEN.
 Ensure O/L MOV of CWP is in CLOSED condition.
 Ensure Raisers of Cooling Tower are partially kept OPEN for the required CELL.
 Start CWP and slowly (By inching) open the O/L Mov.
 CLOSE the vents of the Condenser after Ensuring that Water is coming out from
the Condenser vents.
 Raiser Valves should be throttled to get the required flow, & at the same time
watch Header Pressure also.
 Keep the stand-by CWP in AUTO mode.

PUTTING CEP IN TO SERVICE:

To Take CEP in to Service, Proceed as stated below

Important Note: Before starting the Rolling of Turbine, Start CEP and keep it in Re-
circulation mode.
  Ensure clearance from maintenance and get clearance from Field Operator to
start.
 Ensure HOT-WEL level is just above NWL.
 Ensure Gland cooling water line valves are OPEN.
 Ensure Gland Sealing Water line valves are OPEN.
 Condensate Sump Air Evacuation line valve was in OPEN condition.
 Ensure Suction & Discharge Valves are in OPEN Condition.
 Ensure Discharge (Hot well Level Control Valve) was in CLOSED condition.
 Check Suction Strainer Differential Pressure (DP - < 0.4 kg/cm²).
 START pump either from LPB (LCS) or DCS.
 Put the pump in Re-circulation (Hot well lvl cntrl valve position “0”) mode, if
passing through hot well lvl control valve is observed close isolation valve before
hot well lvl cntrl valve.
 After starting CEP adjust Discharge pressure by opening Recirculation
By-pass valve.

TURBINE ROLLING.

 BEFORE OPENING THE BOILER MSSV By-Pass VALVE ENSURE ALL

THE DRAINS IN THE MAIN STEAM LINE AFTER MSSV ARE IN OPEN
CONDITION.
 ENSURE TURBINE WARM UP VENT WAS IN OPEN CONDITION.
 ENSURE ALL THE DRAINS GIVEN BELOW ARE IN OPEN CONDITION

Drains as fallows:

 Nozzle Chest drains.

 Casing drain.
 Main steam line drain.
 Main steam line vent.
 Gland steam drain.
 PRDS drain.
 Hogger drain.
 Please ensure Ejector and GVC traps are open position.
 ESV drains.

 AFTER GETTING THE REQUIRED TEMP (350°C) & PRESSURE AT

BOILER O/L OPEN THE BOILER MSSV By-Pass VALVE SLOWLY.
 AFTER SUFFICIENTLY WARMING UP THE MAIN STEAM LINE AND
AFTER GETTING SUFFICIENT PRESSURE AT BOILER O/L OPEN MSSV
OF BOILER VERY SLOWLY.

 CLOSE THE MSSV By-Pass VALVE OF BOILER AFTER OPENING MSSV.

 CLOSE THE DRAINS IN THE MAIN STEAM LINE AFTER MSSV TO
 Min.
 CHARGE PRDS SLOWLY AND RAISE THE PRESSURE AND MAINTAIN
THE TEMP AS PER RECOMMENDATION OF OEM.
 AFTER CHARGING THE PRDS TAKE HOGGER IN TO SERVICE, WHILE
DOING THIS MAKE SURE THE REQUIRED PRDS PRESSURE.
 AFTER TAKING HOGGER IN TO SERVICE OBSERVE VACCUM.
 AFTER GETTING VACUUME ATLEAST -0.3 KG/CM2, START GLAND
SEALING VAPOR EXHAUST FAN AND THEN OPEN GLAND SEALING
STEAM TO TURBINE AND MAINTAIN IT AROUND 0.10 Kg/Cm².
 OPEN TSSV BY-PASS OF TURBINE (TEMP 350 °C).
 AFTER SUFFICIENTLY WARMING THE MAIN STEAM LINE UP TO
TURBINE I/L AND WITH RECOMMENDED PRESSURE & TEMP AT
BOILER O/L, OPEN TURBINE TSSV VERY SLOWLY.
 ENSURE TURBINE REMOTE TRIP IS HEALTHY AND ALSO ENSURE ALL
OTHER INTERLOCKS IN TCP ARE IN HEALTHY CONDITION.
 IF ALL THE INTERLOCKS ARE FOUND TO BE NORMAL, PRESS ESV
RESET BUTTON (RED COLOR) IN TCP (TURBINE CONTROL PANEL)
AND CHECK FOR ESV, QC NRV’S OPEN (FREE) INDICATION IN THE
TCP (INDICATION COLOR MUST TURN TO RED FROM GREEN).
 PRESS START BUTTON (RED COLOR) IN TCP.

 AFTER PRESSING THE START BUTTON OBSERVE ACTUATOR

OPENING PERCENTAGE IN WOODWARD 505, IT WILL RISE UP TO AS
PROGRAMMED BY OEM. AFTER THAT TURBINE RPM WILL RISE AND
REACH IDLE SPEED.
 HOLD THIS RPM AS RECOMMENDATION OF OEM.
 IN THE MEAN TIME TAKE MAIN EJECTOR IN TO SERVICE BEFORE
DOING THIS RAISE UP TO REQUIRED PRDS PRESSURE.
OBSERVE VACCUM, IF NORMAL, CLOSE HOGGER.
 MAINTAIN HOT WELL LVL AT 430 mmwc BY OPERATING HOT WELL
LVL Control Valve (HOT WELL MAKE-UP LINE VALVE IS IN OPEN
CONDITION).
NOTE: AFTER TAKING MAIN EJECTOR IN TO SERVICE HOT WELL Lvl
WILL STABILIZE.
 AFTER HOLDING THE RPM, GIVE THE COMMAND FOR RATED SPEED
(RED COLOR) IN TCP.
 WATCH FOR THE RPM TO RAISE AND IT WILL REACH FULL RPM AS
PROGRAMMED BY OEM (WATCH HOT WELL LVL AND MAINTAIN IT
TO THE REQUIREMENT).
 LOAD THE GENERATOR AS PER LOAD CURVE.
 CLOSE ALL THE DRAINS AND WARM-UP VENT.
 TAKE EXTRACTIONS IN TO LINE W.R.T LOAD.
