 Main Objective Of The Study

There are two analysis part

1. Power Generation
2. Maintenance
 About Santahar Power Plant

 Projected from BPDB in 2009

 HFO base power station
 Located in Santahar, Bagura
 Generated electrical power
since July, 2012
 Has six generating set, each
capacity 8730kW
 Generation Information (May 2019)

 Total capacity = 52,380kW

 Total energy generation = 12113482kWh
 HFO per liter = 42.70Tk
 LFO per liter = 63.15Tk
 Lube Oil per liter = 320.00Tk
 Total amount of HFO = 2875008liter
 Total amount of LFO = 59012liter
 Total amount of Lube oil = 13312liter
 Engine Description

 Operating System

Daily equipment checklist:

 Checking of compressor air system

 Checking of cooling water system
 Checking of compressor unit
 Checking of fuel system
 Checking of filters
 Checking of cooling pumps
 Checking of furnace oil cooler
 Problem, Causes & Solution

Problem-01: Engine unstable, sudden changes in engine

speed

Reason: Solution:
1. Incorrect ignition timing Incorrect air fuel ratio inspected
2. Incorrect air fuel ratio software setting & check HFO
3. Misfiring in cylinders admission valve.
4. HFO pressure is too low
5. Incorrect software setting of speed
control parameters
 Problem, Causes & Solution
Problem-02: Crankshaft does not rotates at starting
attempt

Reason:
1. Primary & secondary ignition
system is failure
2. No fuel to engine
3. Misfiring cylinders
4. Slow cranking speed
5. Control valve leakage
Solution:
Disengaged the turning gear of
crankshaft rotation & inspect rocker
arm positions for jam free gives lube oil
regularly.
 Problem, Causes & Solution
Problem-03: Lubricating oil pressure too low

Reason: Solution:
1. Lubricating oil level in oil sump to Check transducers & lubricating oil
low pressure control valve.
2. Lubricating oil pressure control valve
3. Faulty pressure transducers
4. Leakage in lubricating oil suction
pipe connections
 Problem, Causes & Solution
Problem-4: Exhaust gas temperature of one cylinder
above normal

Reason: Solution:
1. Fuel supply insufficient Inspected exhaust temperature sensors
2. Faulty injection valve & check the high of screw.
3. Faulty exhaust gas temperature
measurement
4. Faulty exhaust valve
5. Screw in injection pump filter
loose
 Problem, Causes & Solution
Problem-05: Exhaust gas temperature of one cylinder
below normal

Reason: Solution:
1. Misfiring in cylinders Check exhaust gas transducers, check
2. Incorrect air fuel ratio leak in HFO system & check spark plug
3. Leakage in gas system electrode.
4. Faulty pre chamber valve
5. Faulty exhaust gas transducers
 Problem, Causes & Solution
Problem-06: Water in lubricating oil

Reason: Solution:
1. Leaky oil cooler Check the oil cooler & replace the
2. Leakage at cylinder liner O-ring cylinder linear O-ring.
 Observation

Some necessary steps should be taken for smooth plant

running:

 Safety first
 Need to be more alert
 Do not operate any unknown switch
