Today, information about general structure of plant was taken from flow diagram. I got
information about fluidized-bed boilers, cyclones and CID fan in detail. Then I examined
them on the plant site. And I learned how to generator steam from coal. I added graphic from
boiler on figure 4.

Figure 4: Parts Of Fluidized-Bed Boiler

5.1. Circulation Fluidized-Bed Boiler

Actually, this is my first topic. We started to examine boiler. This boiler system consists
of many parts. I showed on figure 3. And I took note about circulation Fluidized-Bed boiler. I
took a lot of photo from T3000 program on figure 5. And I learned why they choose
circulation fluidized-bed boiler.

• Tufanbeyli Thermal Power Plant has 3 fluidized-bed boilers (3 x 150MW).


• Every boiler has a pass 1 part and a pass 2 part. Burning occurs in pass 1 part and
there is one superheater. In pass 2; there are 2 superheaters, 2 reheaters. And there is
one economizer. Pass 2 is used for heat to steam which is used at the STG.

• I saw a lot of nozul in fluidized-bed boiler bottom. It has 1200 nozul, and the primer
air comes from nozul. and that air provided fluid.
• Boiler must be ≈ 850℃, so it warmed until ≈ 850℃.
• First of all, start-up burners are used for ignite the boiler. It is working with air, steam
and fuel (LFO, HFO).
• After start-up burners; limestone, inert materials, coal and air are given to boiler for
warm.
• Every boiler has 4 cyclones. In this cyclones there is a vortex effect. This effect
supplies the ash to boiler again, which is not burnt.
• Fly ash which is unburnt fly to up, and arrives to cyclones. After that, fly ash
exposures vortex effect, and it is given to boiler again and again until being burnt.
• There are 4 bed ash coolers under the boiler. These are keep ash which is burnt. Ash
cooler cools to this ash. Then, it transmits ash to bed ash crusher (x2), and bed ash
silo.

5.2. Steam Turbine Generator (STG)

Today, I examined Steam Turbine Generator (STG), Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP).


Then, we analyzed steam’s mechanical effects to turbines for electric production and
generator’s working principle in this plant system. After that, we informed about issues of this
systems at their control rooms. I took photo LP/IP and HP turbine on figure 6 and 7.
• Saturated steam which is coming from drum passes through superheaters (1, 2, 3).
After superheaters, it enters to HP (High Pressure) turbine as superheated steam
(538℃, 160 bar).
• Rotating HP turbines supply a mechanical energy to generator. Generator converts this
mechanical energy to electrical energy. Production of electric begins here (150MW for
each unit).
• Pressure and temperature of superheated steam is decrease in a time. When it falls
below a certain level, steam goes out from HP turbines, and goes to reheaters (1, 2).
When temperature and pressure of steam is increased, superheated steam enters to
IP/LP turbines.
• With rotation of IP/LP turbines, mechanical energy continuous to be supplied to
generator.
• Cold steam comes from IP/LP turbines, then arrives to condenser.

5.3. Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)

• Every unit has an ESP system in this plant. It makes filtration.


• ESP is making a filtration with electrostatic force. It separates ash from flue gas.
• ESP has metal plates. This metal plates are loaded with high voltage, and they are
charged with positive ion. Ash is loaded with negative ion.
• Plates are loaded positive, and ash is loaded negative. So, when ash pass from ESP’s
plates, it is held by plates.
• ESP has got hammers on top. They hit to plates, and ashes fall to down (to hoopers).
• Ash is transmitted to silos by hooper and vessel.
• Thus, gas is filtered from ash. Then, gas is transmitted to absorber.
There are some photo from ESP on figure 9 and 10. And I added diagram of ESP on
figure 8. We can see a lot of transformer in diagram.

CID fan and Absorber. I gave information about CID Fan. This is the huge system in
company. There was a lot of noise when I was walking around CID fan. There is no backup of
it. I learned that these checks have been completed, to avoid any malfunction while the unit is
running, I gave information about CID fan. I add a photo on figure 11. ESP is on the left side.
In the middle there is a CID Fan. Absorber on the right side in figure 11.

• In this plant, every unit has a CID fan.


• The most powerful fan of the system. It has 6.5 MW installed power.
• There is no backup of it. Because it is very expansive fan.
• Transports flue gas to absorber from ESP while about 300 meters. It has powerful

desulfurization (FGD) system, condenser and cooling tower, and their working principles in
detail. And then, we analyze them at site. After that, I researched limestone in this system
why it is necessary. Then, I got information on limestone system. I saw its structure on flow
diagram. Then, we went to limestone system. I gave brief information about this system. I
added general view of absorber on figure 12.

• As a result of coal burning, SO2 gas occur. This system aims to keep this gas, and it
prevents to atmospheric release of SO2.
• If SO2 is not held, acid rains can be occur.
• Lime milk is sprayed from pipes of FGD (in absorber). A chemical reaction occurs.
• With this reaction, gypsum occurs. SO2 is trapped in gypsum.
• Gypsum is moved to coal site.
• Filtered flue gas is transferred to cooling tower.

5.10. Switchyard

Today, we went to switchyard. We need to be most careful in this system. Because,


switchyard is a linkage between plant and interconnected network. High voltage units are
here. There are a lot of part about electricity. Before I came here I do not know anything
about transformers, disconnector, circuit breakers. But I learned all of them in 3 days. I gave
information what did I learn about transformations, disconnectors, circuit breakers, bars. I
took a photo of general view of switchyard on figure 20.
• Switchyard is a linkage between plant and interconnected network. High voltage units
are here.
• Voltage of electricity generated in generator is increased by power transformer, then it
is connected to transmission system with switchyard. A connection goes to aux.
transformer for feeding internal system.
• Also there are step-up transformers at switchyard for energy from outside. Because,
energy which is coming from outside can be necessary when start-up.
• Electricity’s access to switchyard and out from switchyard are supplied by feeders.

• In Tufanbeyli Thermal Power Plant, there are 2 main line feeders (Elbistan –
Yeşilhisar).
• There are 2 main bars and there is a transfer bar.
• Switchyard’s type is over ground switchyard in this plant.
• Components of switchyard: breaker, disconnector, bar, current transformer, voltage
transformer, surge arrestor, power transformer and protection relay.

5.10.1. Current Transformer

I collected information about current transformer. And I add a photo of current


transformer from switchyard on Figure 21. It does not allow the passage of a current above a
certain level. Its main assignment is protection and current measurement of this system. When
excessive current come to primary side, current transformer sends info to relays, so breaker
and disconnectors which are on the fault line are opened. Phase difference between primer
current and seconder current is about 0 degree. Also, a current transformer also isolates the
measuring instruments from high voltage circuits.

5.10.2. Voltage Transformer

Its use logic is control the voltage. Voltage transformer sends information when the
voltage exceeds a certain value. Phase difference between primer voltage and secondary
voltage is 0 degree.

5.10.3. Surge Arrestor

Sometimes overvoltage occurs in energy transmission lines. When stroke of lightning,


surge arrestor grounds. Thus, it protects the system from external factors. Surge arrestor
inhibits reaching of voltage to high values. I add a photo of voltage transformer and surge
arrestor on figure 22 and 23.

5.10.5. Bars

Bar is a conductor that provide connections between equipment and materials used in
the control and control of electrical energy. In this plant, double bar and a transfer bar are
used. I added a photo on figure 25. There is a transfer breaker between main bars and transfer
bar. Transfer breaker provides uninterrupted and protected flow in energy when there are
problems with breaker from bar system or system failure with bar disconnector or if there is
maintenance work in system.

5.10.6. Breaker
Breaker can switch on and off in every situation. When electrical circuits are cut off at
high voltage levels, arc occurs. Arc must be extinguished in a very short time, and circuit
must be de-energized. Breaker is used to provide this. Breakers has arc extinguishing feature
and they can move very fast. In this plant, bipolar spring with motor, and SF6 gas breakers are
used in switchyard.

SF6 Gas Breakers


SF6 gas is insulated 3 times more than air by the dielectric strength of 89kV / cm
under 1 bar pressure. SF6 gas has better thermal conductivity and is a non-flammable gas.
The working principle of the cutter is based on the principle of blowing SF6 gas at constant
pressure through the moving contact piston and blowing it back to the arc. The cutting
medium is SF6 gas at a pressure of 1.5-6 bar. Due to the insulating property of SF6 gas, the
distance between contacts is very small. There are too much breakers and I took a photo on
figure 26.

• Opening at rated current is about 10,000.
• The risk of an accident is low.
• SF6 gas does not burn and not poisonous.
II. Disavtages:
• There is a chance of a gas leak.
• It is dangerous for ozone layer and using of it limited by Kyoto Protocol.
• SF6 gas is liquefied at low pressure and temperature levels.

6 PROTECTION RELAYS
Today we went to protection relay control unit in switchyard. we saw the electric
panels. Our engineers and technicians told us every day that they would tell us one of the
members in the panel. And I learned information of relay. The its working principle and
types of relay. I added a photo from relay and bars unit control room of switchyard on figure
28.

Figure 28: Relay and Bars Control Unit

There can be some faults in substation and energy transmission lines (short circuit,
unwanted high voltage, high current). High tension and medium tension terminals have to be
protected from damages that happens after system failure. Protection relay detects fault that is
occur at transmission line and substation. Then, it cuts energy of defective region (only
defective region). Thus, it prohibits big losses. The fault area is determined by the PL
(Protection Line) relays with impedance.

6.1 WORKING PRINCIPLE OF RELAY

Relay works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When relay is energized a


magnetic field is generated at the coil ends and it gains magnet feature. It pulls the palette in
word thanks to magnetization. The movable contacts on the pallet move to bring the circuit to
the closed position and transmission is possible. When energy is cut off, magnetic field is
removed so bow retracts the pallet to bring the contacts back to their original position. Relay
acts as a switch with opening and closing of the contacts. Relays are mainly made for two
basic operations. One is low voltage application and the other is high voltage. For low voltage
applications, more preference will be given to reduce the noise of the whole circuit. For high
voltage applications, they are mainly designed to reduce a phenomenon called arcing. Relay
works mechanically, so they often break down. As the contacts constantly sticks to each
other, the contacts are oxidized over time, so it is not work. It is not repaired and replaced
with a new one.

7 BUCHHOLZ RELAY
Today we went to mcc of transformer with two engineers. We took the note about oil
level on transformer. And there was some problem on third unit. We did not take note for oil
level. After we went to third unit step up and aux transformer. We took the note for oil level
with hydran applications from hydran m2. And I learned the buchholz relay. Because
buchholz relay is the most important protection relay for transformer. I learned and explore
from internet.
7.1 What Is A Buchholz Relay?

Buchholz relay is a type of oil and gas actuated protection relay universally used on all
oil immersed transformers having rating more than 500 kVA. Buchholz relay is not provided
in relays having rating below 500 kVA from the point of view of economic considerations.

7.2 Why Buchholz Relay Is Used In Transformers?

Buchholz relay is used for the protection of transformers from the faults occurring
inside the transformer. Short circuit faults such as inter turn faults, incipient winding faults,
and core faults may occur due to the impulse breakdown of the insulating oil or simply the
transformer oil. Buchholz relay will sense such faults and closes the alarm circuit.

7.3 Working Principle

Buchholz relay relies on the fact that an electrical fault inside the transformer tank is
accompanied by the generation of gas and if the fault is high enough it will be accompanied
by a surge of oil from the tank to the conservator

Whenever a fault occurs inside the transformer, the oil in the transformer tank gets
overheated and gases are generated. The generation of the gases depends mainly on the
intensity of fault produced. The heat generated during the fault will be high enough to
decompose the transformer oil and the gases produced can be used to detect the winding
faults. This is the basic principle behind the working of the Buchholz relay.

Buchholz Relay 02/07/2018

7.4 When Does a Buchholz Relay Operate?

Buchholz relay operates during three conditions:

1. Whenever gas bubbles are formed inside the transformer due to severe fault.

2. Whenever the level of transformer oil falls.

3. Whenever transformer oil flows rapidly from the conservation tank to the main or from the
main tank to the conservation tank.

7.5 Advantages of Buchholz Relay

• Buchholz relay indicates inter turn faults and faults due to heating of core and helps in the
avoidance of severe faults.

• Nature and severity of fault can be determined without dismantling the transformer by testing the
air samples.

8 INTERNAL SYSTEM PROTECTION
Today, I am informed about protection of internal system by technicians. After, I
attended to maintenance of mcc. I added a photo about mcc room and mcc drawer on figure
31 and 32. And we use SOMOVE applications when we solve problem.

• In the mechanism of the system, there are some protection components for motor and
other parts. It is aimed to minimize the effects of temperature and high current to
internal system. This system prevents leakage or short circuit between phase and
ground.
• System has motor protection relay (thermal relay), power switch, mcc and bar breaker.
• Thermal relay is adjusted according to the current consumed by the motor. Here,
motor’s power is important for 3 phase system.

P = U x I x 1,73 x cos φ
• Motor’s current is found from this formula in 3-phase system.
• Result of this is multiplicate with 1,2 and relay’s range is determined.
• Arc or a fault can be occurred in thermal relays. So, power switch is used in this point.
• Power switch cuts feeding of motor.
• If it is failing, mcc steps in. Also, mcc can be fail. Thus, bar breakers are opened.

9 SYNCHRONISATION OF POWER PLANT’S UNIT
• Generators are connected parallel for satisfy to increased load requirement in network
with uninterruptedly and efficiently.
• When malfunction or maintenance times for any of these generators, production of
electric continues without any interrupt.
• As the amount of load increases, need of electric can be satisfied. When consumption
is low generators can be deactivated. So, this power plants are usually connected
parallel also.
• There are 3 conditions for a system that is connected parallel to be synchronous;
1. Voltage of generators should be same

E1 = E2 = E3
• Equalization of voltages are provided by excitation current.
• If voltages is not same (smaller) it cannot give current to system. On the
contrary it draws electric.
2. Frequency of generators should be same

Equalization of frequency is provided with this formula. Because of pole number


cannot be changed, rotational speed is changed, and equalization is provided. Winding
number is set with sources’ amount of fuel which turn generators. Our system has 2
poles and provides electric from synchronous generators with working range that 3000
rotates, 50 Hz frequency.
3. Angles of phase should be same
Synchronous time is determined, and all values are overlaid with each other thus
system is synchronized.

workings, motor and other components’ maintenances.
Today we went to HP heater 5. Because there was some problem in the valve engine.
We disassembled the motor. And we came maintenance workshop with the motor. Motor had
some problem in the coil. We made again coil. We repaired motor at electrical maintenance
workshop. They were working on electric motors here. The technician gave us information
about the motor while they were working on it. I took a photo when I repaired motor on figure
33 and 34.

10.1. Motors with Malfunctions and Their Maintenances

Motors start turning and spend their magnetic field that is created by itself. But coils’
heat increases, after that they burn because of motors cannot spend all magnetic field (130℃,
f type motors).

10.2. Detection of Malfunction

Type of motor with malfunction: HP 5 asynchronous motor 18,5 kW, 3000 rpm
• Current of windings are calculated by multimeter.
• Insulation measurements of phase-phase and phase-ground are calculated by
insulation device.
• 500V are checked by time 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds.
Ø Every motors’ insulation measurement is calculated according to their own
operating voltage.
Ø If there is no problem at windings, bearing control is controlled. Then tests are
started again. If there is a normal value at current measurement, then coils are

10.4. Informatıon About Electric Motor
An electric motor is an electrical machine that transforms electrical energy into
mechanical energy. The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator
having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an
inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor
magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets or DC or AC electrical windings.
There are two kinds of electric motors: AC motor and DC motor. There are parts of the motor
and the two most important parts are the rotor and the stators.

10.5. Rotor
The rotor is a moving component of an electromagnetic system in the electric
motor, electric generator, or alternator. Rotor rotation is dependent on the interaction between
the magnetic fields that generate a torque around the windings and the rotor. Asynchronous
motors, generators and synchronous have an electromagnetic system consisting of a stator and
rotor. There are two designs for the rotor in an induction motor: squirrel cage and wound. In
generators and alternators, the rotor designs are salient pole or cylindrical. We can see
asynchronous rotor and motor on figure 35 and 36.

10.6. Stator
The stator is the stationary part of a rotary system, found in electric generators, electric
motors, sirens, or biological rotors. The main use of a stator is to keep the field aligned. The
stator is one of the two main parts of the motor. The stator of devices may be either a
permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Where the stator is an electromagnet, the coil which
energizes it is known as the field coil or field winding.

10.7 Types Of Motor
Today, I did research about AC Motor and DC Motor which are used at the system.
We investigated the operation logic of motors in this system.
10.7.1. AC Motor
AC motors turn alternating current electrical energy to mechanical energy. Electrical
energy received by the stator windings with the rotation movement of the rotor is turned into
mechanical energy. Alternating current motors are also split up two: Asynchronous motor and
Synchronous motor. Asynchronous types have become a standard device. Synchronous types
are used in places where great power is required. While synchronous motors can operate at
the same frequency as the current supplied to the stator, asynchronous motors do not operate
at the same frequency as the current supplied to them because they operate with induction
current. This company use only asynchronous motors, because maintenance of asynchronous
motors is easier than maintenance of synchronous motors. I added a photo of asynchronous
motor and motors label on figure 38 and 39.
10.7.2. DC Motor

The DC motor is designed to operate with direct current electricity. DC motor


movements are smooth, precise and powerful. The speeds can easily be changed; but they
produce sparks as they work. The DC motor have two types that constant magnetically and
electromagnetic according to the structure of the stator. There is no structural difference
between the electromagnetic and the stationary magnet except for the stator.

11 CONCLUSIONS
This internship provided me an opportunity to learn the differences between business
life and theoretical training and to learn how to use theoretical training in an application.
Thus, I improve my technical abilities. Thanks to this internship I have learned the
manufacturing process of thermal power plant, and motor, generator, transformer, relay that
used in internal structure. Additionally, I have started to make a remark and give an opinion
about other power plants. I have improved teamwork skills due to working with engineers in
fieldworks and evaluation meetings. Doing internship in a power plant that a member of a
respected international company is an important experience for my future. To sum up, this
internship have brought me many experiences and knowledges.
