The Thermoelectricity power plant is mainly comprised of diesel engine generating


unit, HRSG (heat recovery steam generator), electric equipment, auxiliary system etc.
A brief introduction of the main equipment and systems of the combined cycle facilities
is given hereto respectively. For more detailed data and information in connection with

3.2 Diesel Engine


3.2.1 General description

A package power plant, as furnished for most installations, is comprised of the


crank-shaft, simple cycle, diesel engine unit driving a generator. Fuel and air are used
by the diesel engine unit to produce the shaft horsepower necessary to drive certain
accessories and ultimately the driven load generator.

Compressed air from the compressor flows into the twelve cylinder. The fuel nozzles
introduce the fuel into each of the twelve cylinder where it mixes with the combustion
air and is ignited by compressed air (air in the cylinder is compressed, air temperature

O&M 12 / 124

and pressure will increase continuously; normally, the temperature of compression


final point: Tc=750~950k, diesel oil self-ignition temperature of engine is about
543~563K).

Engine working has 4 strokes to complete from air intake, compression, combustion
(work) and exhaust; these 4 processes make up a working circulation.

The first stroke-air intake, its task is to fill the cylinder with fresh air. When air intake
stroke begins, the piston is located at top dead centre. These is some exhaust gas
remained in the combustion chamber of cylinder. When the crankshaft rotates, the
connecting rod makes piston moved from the top dead centre to the bottom dead
centre; meanwhile make use of the driving gear to open the air intake valve. With the
movement of the piston downwards, the volume above the piston inside the cylinder
gradually increasing makes the pressure inside the cylinder lower than that of in the
air intake pipe; so the fresh air from outside continuously fills with the cylinder. When
the piston moves downwards near to the bottom dead centre, the gas flow inside the
cylinder still has the high speed with high inertia; in order to make use of the inertia of
gas flow to increase gas volume, the air intakes valve is closed only after the piston
has passed the bottom dead centre. Although the piston is moving upwards at this
time, the gas can still be filled into the cylinder because of the inertia of gas flow.

The second stroke-compression, the piston moves from bottom dead centre to top
dead centre during the compression and there are two functions of this stroke: one
increases the air temperature for the preparation for self-ignition of fuel. The other
creates the condition for gas expansion to work.

The third stroke-combustion expansion, at the beginning of this stroke, most of the
fuel injected into the combustion chamber is burned. A great deal of heat is released
when burning, so the pressure and temperature of the gas increase dramatically; the
piston moves downwards due to the high temperature and pressure of gas and make
the crankshaft rotated by the connecting rod and do work. So this stroke is called

O&M 13 / 124

doing work or working stroke.

The forth stroke-exhaust, the function of exhaust stroke is the removal of the exhaust
gas after expansion in order to fill with the fresh air to prepare for the next circulation.
When the piston during the working stroke moves downwards near to the bottom dead
centre, the exhaust valve is opening; the piston is driven by the crankshaft and
connecting rod, moving from the bottom dead centre to the top dead centre to remove
the exhaust gas out of cylinder

The exhaust gas from the cylinder into exhaust pipe. Then gas enters to turbocharger.

It is to ensure the cooling of engine parts, especially cylinders, cylinder heads,


exhaust valves, injector nozzles which undergo very high temperatures during the
combustion phase. The used materials for manufacturing these parts do not allow
them to resist to such high temperatures without being damaged, therefore they need
cooling. The fluid used, water, which provides the best quality to- price ratio, is well

adapted for cooling “Diesel engines”.

3.2.3.2 Lube oil system

- To lubricate:

The engine (bearings, pistons-liners, connecting rods, timing gears, and so on),

The auxiliaries (turbocharger bearings, pumps and so on).

- To keep the engine inside clean (piston grooves) as well as the system (clogging
of filters).

- To keep the piston heads cool.

- To set an oil seal on the injection pumps (if fitted).

- To fight against the corrosive action of acid combustion products.

- To withstand oxidation and water.

3.2.3.3 Fuel system

3.2.3.5 Crankcase deaeration system

Continuously discharge the gas and oil vapors from the crankcase to prevent excess
pressure.

The gas is coming from the combustion chambers and the flow rate is therefore
directly related to the quality of the ring-liner tightness.

3.2.3.6 Inlet air and exhaust gas system

Air filtration:

To avoid a premature general wear of the engine components, namely when engines
are located in desert areas subject to sandstorms, or near quarries or cement works,
and particularly:

- As regards cylinders, piston rings and grooves;

- As regards links, further to the pollution of oil by siliceous residues;

- As regards the turbochargers, and particularly the compressor wheels. Below 1µm
they are fouled by solid particles, from 1 to 10µm they are cleaned by them, beyond
10 µm they are eroded by them.

Supercharging:

Mainly to make it possible to increase the power of an engine by increasing its air
supply (increase of the weight of air for the same cubic volume), which makes it
possible to burn more fuel.

- To increase the global yield, as the necessary energy for driving a turbocharger is
recovered from the exhaust gases.

Air cooling at engine inlet:

Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014


Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 17 / 124

When flowing through the turbocharger, the air temperature is substantially increased,
it is necessary to cool it, in order to improve cylinder filling.

Regulation of air temperature at engine inlet

To maintain the temperature:

- Approximately constant whatever the power,

- At a sufficient value, in order to eliminate condensation phenomena. Depending


on the atmospheric conditions, (ambient temperature, degree of moisture), the
operator may have to increase the air inlet temperature.

4.3 Availability

This section discusses the expected facility availability, equipment redundancy, ability
to respond to varying utility needs for power, maintenance programs, fuel availability,
water availability, project quality control measures.

4.3.1 Facility availability

The Complex Plant will employ light diesel oil & heavy oil fuel diesel engines,
configured in a 1 on 1 combined cycle arrangement. Combined cycle generating
Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014
Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 109 / 124

plants of similar size have demonstrated operating equivalent availability factors


above 90 percent over several years.

Degradation in output from fouling and wear

All diesel engine degrade in output from their new and clean condition because of
fouling and wear. “Non-recoverable” degradation from equipment wear increases
rapidly in the first few thousand fired hours and then slows. Virtually all of the
degradation due to wear will be recovered during the major overhaul conducted at the
end of 6 years.

Summary of availability

All units of complex station are expected to provide high availability and be more
responsive to the needs of the system for power during periods of peak load. Outage
rates are expected to be low and scheduled outages will be planned for off-peak
periods.

4.3.2 Annual and lifetime capacity factors

The complex station will be operated as a merchant plant; as such, annual capacity
factors will vary based on market conditions (i.e., demand cycles and power
generation costs). An average annual capacity factor of 60-65 percent is generally
predicted over the 30-year projected lifetime of the facility.

Distributed control system

The distributed control system will be a redundant microprocessor-based system that


will provide control, monitoring, and alarm functions for plant systems and equipment.
The following functions will be provided

- Control the heat recovery steam generator and other systems in response to unit
load demands (the diesel engine has its own control system).
Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014
Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 110 / 124

- Provide control room operator interface.

- Monitor plant equipment and process parameters and provide this information to the
plant operators in a meaningful format.

- Provide visual and audible alarms for abnormal events based on field signals or
software-generated signals from plant systems, processes, or equipment.

- The DCS will have functionally distributed architecture comprised of a group of


similar redundant processing units linked to a group of operator consoles and an
engineering workstation by redundant data highways. Redundant processors will be
identically programmed to perform the specific tasks for control information, data
acquisition, annunciation, and historical purposes. Because of this redundancy, no
single processor failure can cause or prevent a unit trip. Experience with similar
systems has been that simultaneous malfunctions of two or more processors are very
infrequent. DCS failures that have occurred have almost always been in
communication between processors, or more importantly, between the DCS and the
controlled equipment

4.3.3 Fuel availability

The complex station currently receives light diesel oil & heavy oil from the oil storage
tanks.

4.3.4 Water availability

The dematerialized water & industrial water supply by phase I. Dematerialized water
supply for circulating cooling is the greatest water use constituting approximately 70
percent of the water usage. Most of industrial water is use to washing equipment.

4.3.5 Project quality assurance and control

This section summarizes the quality assurance and control program. The objective of
the quality control program is to ensure that all systems and components have the
Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014
Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 111 / 124

appropriate quality measures applied (during design, procurement, fabrication,


construction, and operation) to achieve facility safety, reliability, availability, operability,
constructability, and maintainability. System quality is ensured by applying controls to
various activities depending on the activity being performed. For example, the
appropriate controls for design work are checking and review, and the appropriate
controls for manufacturing and construction are inspection and testing. Appropriate
controls will be applied to each of the various activities for the project

1) Quality Assurance

For quality assurance planning purposes, the project activities have been divided into
nine stages that apply to specific periods of time during the project. As the project
progresses, the design, procurement, fabrication, erection, and checkout of each plant
system proceeds through these stages and the appropriate quality assurance controls
are administered.

The project stages are defined as follows:

- Conceptual Design – activities such as the definition of requirements and


engineering analyses.

- Detail Design – activities such as the preparation of calculations, drawings, and lists
needed to describe, illustrate, or define systems, structures, or components of the
power plant.

- Procurement Specification Preparation – activities necessary to compile and


document procurement specifications’ contractual, technical, and quality provisions for
plant systems, components, or services.

- Manufacturers’ Control and Surveillance – activities necessary to ensure that the


manufacturers conform to the procurement specification provisions.

- Manufacturer Data Review – activities required to review manufacturers’ drawings,


data, instructions, procedures, plans, and other documents to ensure coordination of

Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014


Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 112 / 124

plant systems and components and conformance to procurement specifications.

- Receipt Inspection – inspection and review of products during manufacture at the


time of delivery to the construction site.

- Construction/Installation – inspection and review of construction, storage, equipment


and component installation, cleaning, and initial testing of systems and components at
the plant site.

- System/Component Testing – documented controlled testing, commissioning and


operation of plant components in a system to ensure that the performance conforms
to specified requirements and all guarantees.

- Plant Operation – the actual operation of the plant system.

2) Quality Control Records

The following quality control records will be maintained as a minimum for review and
reference:

- Approved Environmental Permits

- Project Procedures Instruction Manual

- Design Calculations

- Project Design Manual

- Quality Assurance Audit Reports

- Piping and Instrument Diagrams

- Conformance to Construction Records Drawings

- Procurement Specifications (Contract Issue and Change Orders)

- Manufacturers’ Quality Assurance Program Manuals

- Construction Test Records

- Historical Operating and Maintenance Data.


Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014
Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 113 / 124

For procured component purchase orders, a list of qualified suppliers is developed.


Before contracts are awarded, supplier capabilities are evaluated. The evaluation
considers the supplier’s personnel, production capability, past performance, and
quality assurance program.

Supplier quality assurance capabilities are reviewed with special consideration given
to the program description, implementation procedures, and the suppliers’ quality
performance history. Before contracts are awarded, the suppliers’ facilities may be
surveyed to verify that their quality assurance program is effective and applicable to
the materials, equipment, and services supplied.

Each procured component has adequate contractual requirements to ensure quality


assurance. During construction, field quality assurance activities are accomplished
during the last four stages of the project: receipt inspection, construction/installation,
system/component testing, and plant operations. Suppliers will be contractually
responsible for performing the work in accordance with the quality requirements
specified by contract. Quality compliance will be surveyed through inspection, audit,
and administration of independent testing contracts.

4.4 Reliability

Reliability is expressing that the preventive maintenance activities have been made in
a correct way

A low reliability will also indicate that there are improvements to be made on the
maintenance side, or that the purchased equipment is a low quality.

The importance of reliability

Reliability is every bit as important to the economic success of a plant as the capital
and operating expenditure (CAPEX and OPEX). The cost of electricity (COE) was
calculated for a base case (100%) and then sensitivities for the efficiency, the CAPEX
Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014
Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 114 / 124

and the availability performed. The efficiency has been plotted as heat rate and the
availability as outage so that all plots have a positive slope.

4.5 Productivity (Utilization)

Utilization is expressing the amount of hours the engine totally has been in use over a
certain time period.

A low utilization degree can either indicate that the engine has been in stand-by
frequently or that the outage hours have been high.

5 Safety

5.1 Introduction

The present safety section is designed to provide safety recommendation information,


advice and guidance to the user.

The machine/plant has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards, the
latest recognized safety rules and the applicable regulations and standards quoted in
the contract. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or
of third parties, or cause damage to the machine and to other material property.

The machine/plant must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance


with its designated use and the instructions set out in the operating manual, and only
by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating the
machine/plant. Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the

power station.

5.2 User Responsibilities

The instructions set out in this Manual assume that operators already have a general
understanding of the requirements for safe operation of mechanical and electrical
equipment in potentially hazardous environments involving liquid fuels at the site
concerned. These instructions therefore should be interpreted and applied in conjunction
with the safety rules and regulations applicable at the site and the particular
requirements for operation of other equipment at the site.

It is the user’s responsibility to supplement the operating instructions by instructions


covering the duties involved in supervising and notifying special organizational features,
such as job organization, working sequences or the personnel entrusted with the work.

It is the user’s responsibility to check - at least from time to time - whether the personnel
is carrying out the work in compliance with the operating instructions and paying
attention to risks and safety factors.

5.3 Operator Adequate Training & Skills

Any work on and with the machine/plant and equipment must be executed by trained,
instructed or authorized staff under the supervision of experienced persons.

Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must have read the operating
instructions and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning work. This applies
especially to persons working only occasionally on the machine, e. g. during setting up
or maintenance.

The equipment supplied is a complex set of machinery, which is intended for use only
by professionally trained operators. The owner/user should therefore ensure that all
operators are properly trained for the operation of the equipment assigned to them. All

O&M 117 / 124

The operators shall adhere to intervals specified in the operating instructions for
routine checks and inspections, and those prescribed by relevant regulation(s).

Maintenance & repair

Before beginning any operation or maintenance activities on a piece of equipment read


the relevant drawings and documents.

For the execution of maintenance work, use the appropriate tools.

Always tighten any screwed connections that have been loosened during maintenance
and repair.

Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or repair purposes must be refitted
and checked immediately upon completion of the maintenance and repair work.

Coupling guards, fan guards or other devices protecting personnel contact with rotating
or moving parts that were removed for maintenance shall be reinstalled following the
maintenance activity to ensure adequate protection has been restored.

Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety. This
also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves.

After maintenance activities have been completed, residual oils, coolants and other
slippery material may still be present in the compartments and care should be taken to
eliminate such hazard.

Genuine parts

It is important that owners/users should only replace components with spare parts, which
are identical to the original or contain modifications. When ordering spare parts always
quote the model and serial number of the unit of equipment concerned.

Parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer and
Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014
Dept. Page:

conform to applicable statutory requirements.

Ensure that all consumables and replaced parts are disposed safely and with minimum
environmental impact.

Cleaning

Equipment shall permanently remain in clean state to allow easy detection of any
trace of fluid and safe access for personnel. Any defects found must be rectified
without delay in accordance with applicable regulations.

Keep all handles, steps, handrails, platforms, landings and ladders free from dirt,
snow and ice. Floors, platforms and other walkways should be kept free of oil, grease,
water, and other slippery materials. Stairways, aisles, exits, walkways and work areas
should be kept free of remains and other obstructions.

Lifting

Use only appropriate means of transport and lifting gears of adequate capacity.

To avoid the risks of accidents, individual parts and large assemblies being moved for
replacement purposes should be carefully attached to lifting tackle and secured. Use
only suitable and technically perfect lifting gear and suspension systems at adequate
lifting angle with appropriate lifting capacity. Never work or stand under suspended
loads.

The fastening of loads and the instructions of crane operators should be entrusted to
experienced persons only. The foreman giving the instructions must be within sight and
sound of the operator.

5.5 Access Permit & Work Permit

The end user shall ensure that site safe work practices integrate access permit and work
permit procedures. Permit to access inside enclosure or inside confined space as well
as permit to work both issued by the end user Safety Office is the only way to guaranty
the safety of the worker and the information link to the Operation Office.

Access permit is an expressed/authorized permitting to enter an enclosure or a confined


space of all personnel to perform data collection or similar activities. Access permit
guarantees safe access regarding explosive or flammable fluids, noise, asphyxiating,
CO2 release, low oxygen concentration, permanent communication link with a second
person stationed immediately outside.

Work permit is an expressed/authorized permitting to perform works on any system.


Work permit guarantees safe access on the relevant system at zero energy level. Zero
energy level means fluid system effectively locked out and drained out, control system
locked out, electrical supply system racked out and locked out and preventing
inadvertent release of stored or residual energy whether mechanical, electrical,
hydraulic, (spring, capacitor, automatic fire fighting). Lock out and tag out (LOTO) is a
process to support the work permit.

Safety precautions for personnel

Lock out/Tag out (LOTO) is a process of isolating or controlling or safeguarding any


machinery or source of hazardous energy that any operator/employee/user may
encounter while operating, maintaining, or re-commissioning of the machinery. Lock out
is the process where the isolating device, valve, breaker, main switch, are isolating the
corresponding circuit and locked with a single key locking device to make certain the
isolating device guarantees the safety of the workers during the whole length of the
worker’s activities. Tag out is the process of notifying all affected employees that a
machine or equipment is shut down and locked to perform servicing or maintenance.

Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014


Dept. Page:
General Introduction
O&M 120 / 124

Tagging is performed using appropriate tag attached to the locked equipment.

The work permit issued by the Safety Office to the worker lists, one by one, all the
activities performed to establish working safe condition. It is also a support to ensure the
equipment will operate safely and correctly after the worker has signed the document to
confirm end of work and returned it to the Safety Office.

5.6 Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is defined as “all equipment designed to be


worn or held by the worker to protect him against one or more hazards likely to
endanger his safety and health at work, and any addition or accessory designed to
meet this objective. This excludes normal working clothes, equipment for emergency
and rescue, PPE for military, police or other public order agencies, and equipment as
such”.

An employer, who requires employee/personnel to perform routine maintenance


and/or servicing on a machine, must provide employee safeguarding and PPE.

Various country specific regulatory documents require personal protective equipment


to be used when the risks cannot be avoided or sufficiently limited by technical means
of collective protection or by measures, methods or procedures of work organization.

All PPE should conform to the more stringent of either local or national safety
standards. The employer must enforce strict policies that should be followed by all
personnel at site. The PPE must be rated accordingly to the severity of the hazard and
must follow industry standards.

Typical PPE recommendations are:

Eyes: Protective eyewear (spectacles, goggles, X-ray goggles, etc.)

Head: Protective headwear (helmets, caps, etc.)


Serial No.:HTP-ER-OM-A-0 R e v. 0 Issued Date:01/01/2014

O&M 121 / 124

Feet: Protective footwear (safety boots, insulating shoes, ankle boots, etc.)

Clothing: Protective clothing of appropriate design to resist flame or high heat


exposure

Hands: Protective gloves of appropriate design to resist injury to hands

Ears: Hearing protection (earmuffs, ear plugs, etc.)

Fall: Fall protection equipment, safety harness, etc.

5.7 Management of Hazards

Main hazards are listed below to identify the risk and the relevant main precautions.
The objective is to prevent occurrence of hazards and minimize their consequences.

5.7.1 Hazard due to potentially explosive atmosphere

The hazardous areas are identified on the Hazardous Areas Layout. Any ignition
source is prohibited in this area during operation.

5.7.2 Hazard due to chemical substances

Chemical substances may be corrosive, flammable, toxic… Any chemical product


must be handled and used according to its Material Safety Data Sheet Chemical
products must be used and stored away from any source of heat and in ventilated
areas. Products and packing must be destroyed according to local environmental
regulations.

5.7.3 Hazards due to fire

Fire is mainly due to any combustible agent like lube oil or fuel oil spillage, in presence
of air and hot point. User shall maintain hot surfaces clean of flammable contaminants

at any time. Especially before carrying out any work generating spark or heat, ensure
this has been expressly authorized, clean the machine/plant and its surroundings from
dust and other flammable substances. Smoking shall be limited to smoking areas.
After a fire, it is the final user's responsibility to conduct a Root Cause Analysis and an
assessment by experts of the effects of the fire on any equipment and system
potentially affected by it. The assessment may lead to replacement and
re-commissioning before putting the affected equipment and systems back into
