During start-up, transients (like a steam turbine trip) and low load operation, the amount of
steam flowing through the gland seals is too small to maintain the desired pressure in the
sealing system. During these operating modes, the pressure must be maintained by supplying
external seal steam from the auxiliary steam system through the gland steam control valve
(Siemens scope).
During operation at higher loads, the steam turbine is self-sealing so the auxiliary steam is not
required.
The drain pot installed downstream the electrical heaters allows a small flow and having all
time the needed conditions for seal steam external feeding in case after a transient (like a
steam turbine trip) external seals were needed.

4. OPERATION MODES
The auxiliary steam system is comprised of four different steam sources, depending on their
availability and the respective consumers, as will be described in this section and summarized
in the following table.
HRH CRH
SGS Kettles SGS Kettles Aux.Boiler Aux.Boiler
Aux.Boiler Aux.Boiler
*Priority: from top to bottom
During normal operation, the auxiliary steam is fed by the hot reheat steam (HRH) for ST seals.
Motorized isolation valves from Auxiliary boiler and SGS lines (01QLB30AA301 and
01QLB50AA301/302) are closed.
The pressure in the auxiliary steam system for ST sealing system is controlled by pressure
control valve 01QLB10AA201 when the steam comes from HRH. All (except 01QLB63AA302)
auxiliary steam drain pot motorized valves are closed (if closed conditions are met).
4.2 START-UP
Auxiliary steam consumers during a long term start-up are the seals, the ACC steam ejector,
the steam for deaerator (sparging steam) and the SGS reheaters (pre-heating the equipment
and lines).
Steam for deaerator is only needed during the beginning of the start-up until the steam coming
from the steam turbine is available (the extraction is open at very low loads), after that the
control valve (01LBQ56AA201) can be closed.
There is not hot reheat steam available with the conditions required in case of a long term
start-up. The steam will be supplied by the Auxiliary boiler, so that the motorized isolation valve
(01QLB30AA301) is opened. Auxiliary steam pressure control valves (01QLB10/20/50AA201)
are closed.
When the pressure in the HRH line (01LBB10CP101/102) is higher than the pressure in the
ST sealing steam line (measured with pressure transmitter 01QLB61CP101/102), auxiliary
steam pressure control valve (01QLB10AA201) will take over the pressure control of the
auxiliary steam to ST seals with the pressure transmitters 01QLB61CP101/102.

The supply of steam to ACC steam ejector from auxiliary boiler is only used during hogging
mode.
Auxiliary steam is supplied to the SGS reheaters in order to pre-heating the equipment and
lines from auxiliary boiler.
Cold start-up
Auxiliary steam consumers during a cold start-up are the seals and the steam for deaerator
(sparging steam only needed during the beginning of the start-up until the steam coming from
the steam turbine is available (the extraction is open at very low loads)).
Please note that the steam turbine needs external sealing until a load over 25% and so when
hot reheat steam pressure was higher than the one existing in the auxiliary steam line to ST
seals, the required auxiliary steam would be from hot reheat steam.
All auxiliary steam drain pot pneumatic on-off valves are open (if open conditions are met).
The valve 01QLB63AA301 will be open, whereas the valve 01QLB63AA302 is closed. Pipe
pre-warming is assured by the automatic control valves installed in the drain pots.
4.3 SHUTDOWN
During the steam turbine shutdown at night the external seals required by the steam turbine
seal steam system are provided by the SGS kettles, being the motorized isolation valve
01QLB50AA301/302 open.
When there is not more auxiliary steam demand (this means when pressure values in the lines
01QLB10/20/30/60CP001 are below a certain value), the auxiliary steam system will be shut
down. Auxiliary steam pressure control valves (01QLB10/20/50/60AA201) will be closed.
All auxiliary steam drain pot pneumatic on-off valves are closed (if closed conditions are met).
The valves 01QLB63AA301/302 are closed.
During steam turbine trip, auxiliary steam to deaerator is fed by the cold reheat steam (CRH)
for pegging purposes.

5.1 INSTRUMENTATION
The system instrumentation is depicted in the Auxiliary Steam System P&ID (RDST-00-QLB-
MDD-EAI-13300).
Details about system control, protections, interlocks and automatic actions will be depicted in
the corresponding system control diagram (doc. Control Diagrams. Auxiliary Steam System
(RDST-00-QLB-YSK-EAI-13300).
From the point of view of control, the system is mainly formed by one (1) functional group (FG)
that will control two (2) redundant seal steam electrical heater functional subgroups (FSG)
through a selector of two actuators. Besides that, the functional group will actuate on the
system pneumatic and motorized valves by putting them in automatic. By means of this
actuation, regulation valves constantly monitor their respective process variables and on/off
valves suitably open/close to accomplish their functionality.
The different controls developed for the system are defined below.
The different controls developed for the system are defined below.
When the system is started up via its FG or from a command coming from a higher hierarchical
level, the following actions will be carried out automatically:
All drives controlled by the functional group shall be switched to automatic control mode
The seal steam electrical heater FSG selector (01QLB60EA021) shall start the seal
steam electrical heater FSG selected as main by the operator once any of the three
auxiliary steam sources are open.

low superheat in the drain pot (01QLB12CT001) is detected.
The valve close if the above conditions are not complied with for more than a defined
time.
The valve shall be forced to open when there is Low temperature in the drain pot
(01QLB12CT001) is detected for more than a defined time.

DESCRIPTION AUXILIARY STEAM SYSTEM 32 / 32
Rev. 6
The function of these valves is to assure that seal steam has the superheating grade required
by the steam turbine seal steam system prior to be admitted to the Steam turbine seal steam
system.
During start-up, the valve 01QLB63AA301 shall be opening (through intermediate positions)
until the ST Seal Steam Drain Pot Temp is over a certain value (01QLB63CT001), then
01QLB63AA301 will close and 01QLB63AA302 will open.
When the pressure (01QLB61CP001) in the Seal header is over High Pressure, valve has
been open for a defined time, and the seal steam Electrical heater FSG in operation
(01QLB61/62EA011), the Seal steam drain pot valve change to Drain pot temperature
controller.
After, the 01QLB63AA302 will be controlled by the ST Seal Steam Drain Pot Temp
(01QLB63CT001), the valve will open and close as the following indications:
close if the Seal Steam Drain Pot Temp (01QLB63CT001) is higher than a certain value
AND if the Seal Steam Flow (01QLB60CF101/102) is higher than a certain value
open if the Seal Steam Drain Pot Temp (01QLB63CT001) is lower than a certain value
OR if the Seal Steam Flow (01QLB60CF101/102) is lower than a certain value.
The function of this valve (01QLB63AA302) related with the flow is to maintain the minimum
steam flow (01QLB60CF101/102) from the auxiliary steam line to the sealing system.
This valve regulate the pressure downstream it to the value required by the deaerator pressure
(setpoint of the PID loop).
To do this, it shall use as process variable the output value from the block of the two redundant
pressure measurements 01LAA50CP101/102 in the deaerator, which shall be programmed in
the control system.
Control shall be done through a reverse PID loop that shall continuously compare the process
variable with the established setpoint. If this variable is greater than the setpoint, the valve will
tend to close, reducing the steam outlet pressure. Otherwise, the valve will tend to open.
