NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL

1 Overview
A heavy duty gas turbine unit is a mechanical power engine installed in a plant:
In most application to drive a generator to supply an electrical network. Or
sometimes to drive a compressor for gas treatment plan. The gas turbine power
engine includes an axial airflow compressor, a multi chamber combustion system
and a three stages turbine. Main components of the gas turbine are listed here
below.
The axial airflow compressor is a 17 stages compressor with:
Adjustable inlet guide vanes (IGV) to control the airflow during starting and
loading sequences.
Bleed valves to bypass part of the air flow for starting and shut down to escape
from surging.
The combustion system comprises:
Fuel nozzles fitted on the combustion chambers cover.
Fourteen combustion chambers where the fuel burns permanently from firing
speed to full load.
Fourteen cross fire tubes connecting the combustion chamber.
Fourteen transition pieces downstream the combustion chamber connected to the
first turbine stage nozzle.
Two spark plugs for the fuel ignition. A set of flame detectors.
The three stages turbine include first, second and third stage nozzle and first,
second and third wheel.
The turbine and the axial flow compressor belong to the same shaft connected to:
The auxiliary gear box and the starting means at the front end.
The generator at the rear end.

NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL

2.1.6 Flame Detector


During the starting sequence, it is essential that an indication of the presence or
absence of flame be transmitted to the control system. For this reason, a flame
monitoring system is used consisting of four sensors which are installed on four
combustion chambers (n4 and 5, 10 and 11) and an electronic amplifier which is
mounted in the turbine control panel.
The ultraviolet flame sensor consists of a flame sensor containing a gas filled
detector. The gas within this flame sensor detector is sensitive to the presence of
ultraviolet radiation which is emitted by a hydrocarbon flame. A D.C. voltage,
supplied by the amplifier, is impressed across the detector terminals. If flame is
present, the ionization of the gas in the detector allows conduction in the circuit
which activates the electronics to give an output defining flame. Conversely, the
absence of flame will generate an opposite output defining "no flame".
After the establishment of flame, if voltage is re-established to the sensors
defining the loss (or lack) of flame a signal is sent to a relay panel in the turbine
electronic control circuitry where auxiliary relays in the turbine firing trip circuit,
starting means circuit, etc... shut down the turbine. The FAILURE TO FIRE or
LOSS OF FLAME is also indicated on the annunciator. If a loss of flame is sensed
by only one flame detector sensor, the control circuitry will cause an annunciation
only of this condition.
For more information about the flame detectors, see Gas turbine equipment

2.3.2 Emergency Lube Oil Pump 88QE
The bearings are provided with a working-life grease lubrication consisting
of a bearing grease DIN 51825-K 3 N with a lithium base saponification.
According to experience, the working life of the bearings comes up to 20 000 h
in case of normal operating conditions and a mean rotational speed.
Unfavorable operating conditions (shock loads, high coolant temperature, high
rotational speed etc.) reduce the working life. At the latest when noting that the
bearings are no longer running noiselessly or are reaching an excessively high
temperature, the bearings must be replaced. On principle, new bearings are to be
fixed in warm condition (approx. 100C).
The means of ventilation (such as filters, intake grid etc.) must be cleaned
according to the respective dirt accumulation.
Warning! Before releasing screws from engines, the complete installation
must be disconnected from the current supply (the respective information signs
on the end shield shutters must be observed).
Otherwise explosion hazard!

15
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
The collector and the carbon brushes are in need of regular maintenance.
Dust and rubbed-carbon brush parts must be removed. In this connection, the
collector and the brushes may by no means get into contact with oil or grease.
The surface of the collector must always be clean and smooth. In case the
collector should show too marked traces from running or possible damages, it
must be overturned. Thereafter, the glow isolation between the lamina is to be
miiled by approx. 1 mm.
WINKELMANN direct-current motors are provided with carbon brushes the
dimensions of which correspond to DIN 43003. The service life is impaired by
many factors such as high rotational speed, frequent load alternations (also
no-load operation), vibrations, dust, humidity, and chemical attacks. It is
therefore impossible to indicate a generally valid service life. The carbon
brushes must be checked for the first time after approx. 2000 working hours.
Brush dimensions Min. carbon length limit

2.3.3 Auxiliary Hydraulic Oil Pump 88HQ


Before starting-up time, the motor must be stored in a dry and clean place,

before the start-up of the motor.
2.3.9.1 Mechanicals checks
a. Coupling is properly realized as the fixation between both machines
driven and driving (only after the control of the motor start-up).
b. Carters of protection for the expected mobile parts are positioned and
fixed to the ground or to a static part.
c. Rotating parts will have to be protected with an appropriated means.
d. The personnel do not intervene on the driven or driving machine.
e. There is no heterogeneous object, in or on the driven or driving machine.
f. The oil tanks of the bearings have been filled in accordance with filling
indications of oil levels sleeves in oil bath are delivered without oil.
g. in case of bearings with grease, greasing is realized in accordance with
recommendations from chapter 6 paragraph II.3.2.1. Lubrication of
bearing switch rollers.
h. In case of bearings with roller, rotation of the whole rotor is manually
carried out (or with a lever arm) without blocking constraint and without
contact to the fixed parts.
i. Water circulates in the hydro-coolers and the cooling water coils of the
bearings (sleeves cooled by water coils) to the pressure and the flow
advocated.
j. cover and doors of visit are closed.
k. Degree of protection and certification of the electrical motor and all its
equipment correspond to the risks of the exploitation area.
l. terminal boxes are closed.
2.3.9.2 Electrical checks
The whole electrical components of the motor will have to be taken in

c Insulation of insulated bearing(s) is respected.
d Cables connections on the motor plugs are properly installed (see special
manual of connection inserted inside the terminal boxes).
e Tightening torque for all electrical connections of power cables on the
high voltage and neutral boxes terminals are properly realized.
f All protections (thermal, electrical, etc.) works and are properly
calibrated.
Those motors must be brushed following instructions in the table below
and on the specification plate appended on the frame of those motors.
Checking the proper progress of the brushing is essential. It have to be
planed in the motor logic of start-up. This logic have to be checked before
each start-up.`

2.3.9.3 Control at start-up


Machines with axial unlocked rotor:
Attention for the tests without charge, before coupling of the machines
with unlocked bearings, ensure the shaft will stay in a magnetic central
position and the bearing temperature under the alarms to avoid the
destruction of the bearings. If the shaft is not in a magnetically centered
position, it would be about 0.5 mm from the limits of the rotor axial
clearance, not to be in axial contact with the limiter of the bearings
displacement.
This destruction can be joint:
- To the ventilated thrust of the machine, which is generating an axial effort
on the bearings, not designed to work continuously under these conditions.
This ventilated thrust come from an unbalancing of pressure inside and
outside of the machine, or from the machine having a unilateral cooling.
- To the shocks of the shaft with the bearing when the rotor is not
magnetized.
All the previously mentioned conditions being satisfied, the motor can be
started.
During the first turns of rotation, ensure that:

22
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
the direction of rotation is correct,
there is no abnormal vibrations on the bearings,
there is no abnormal temperature on the bearing and inside the bearing box,
there is no abnormal noise.
Control the vibrations and the temperature of the bearings after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8,
12 and24 hours of functioning. Record the values on the installation report.
Case of asynchronous motors with slip rings: Use of slip rings necessitate the
systematic use of:
- A starter with variable resistor, adapted to the resisting torque
characteristics of the driven machine and to the acceptable starting current.
- Or an adapted electronic system of variation (Varotor or other)
Before the start-up of the machine, it is imperative to check:
- That the protection (isolating sheet) located between the rings and the
brushes is removed.
- That the brushes are properly run in.
- That the brushes are properly positioned on the rings and their supports.
- That the springs of the brushes supports properly press on the brushes.
At the start-up, check:
- Absence of spark on the rings. Any in adapted contact can generate sparks
damaging completely the system of slip rings
- That the sheen (brown color of the rings on contact with the brushes)
effectively appears on the rings after few hours of functioning.
2.3.9.4 Machine Stop
Stop modalities of the motor are inherent to the conditions of use of the
driven machine. It is advocated to proceed to the following actions to reduce
various perturbing constraints on the motor:
- Reduce, if possible, the applied mechanical charge
- Cut the motor supply
- Start-up the heating resistors as soon as the motor is stopped, to prevent
condensation phenomenon.
2.3.10 Oil Mist Eliminator 88QV
Putting into service:
Before putting into a motor into service, one should check especially when
the motor has not been used for a long time that the insulation resistance of the

23
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
winding is sufficient. The insulation resistance has to be at least 10meg/ohms
on a 1000V megger.
If the insulation resistance is not high enough, the motor has to be dried out
and revarnished or rewound.
Check all connections and adjust the thermal protection units to the correct
current. Switch the motor on in a no load state determine the direction of
rotation. Load the motor gradually and check whether it runs without
vibration.
The motor can be used under deviation of the main voltage5% or
frequency of max.2% compared to the nominal frequency or nominal voltage,
in compliance with the international regulations for electric machines
2.3.11 Exhaust Chamber Cooling Air Fan 88EF1/2
When running the ventilator for the first time, you should immediately
check to ensure that the turbine is rotating in the right direction (indicated by
an arrow on the rear face of the casing).
If the turbine is turning the wrong way, stop the unit immediately and invert
two of the three motor supply cables to re-set the direction of rotation.
Verifications once running
These tests are used to ensure that your ventilator is running correctly and to
identify any potential problems related to its installation.
Measure the current upstream of the motor and compare this with the
rated amperage on the motors ID plate
If the measured value is clearly higher, the fan should be shut down
immediately.
If the value measured is clearly lower, check the rotational speed of the fan.
Measure the rotational speed of the turbine.

24
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL

If the measured value is higher than the maximum speed given on the ID
plate, shut down the ventilator immediately.
Measure the speed of vibrations in three axes on each motor bearing. In
accordance with EN 14694, the values obtained must be less than or equal to
the following limitations:
Rigid mountings: 4.5 mm/s
Flexible mountings: 6.3 mm/s
Verifications after running-in
As with all equipment fitted with mechanical components, your ventilator
will require a running-in period to stabilize its performance.
The verifications we recommend below must be carried out after this period.
Record and keep the results to use as a reference for future diagnostics or as
part of a preventive maintenance plan.
The running-in periods of a Type EU4 ventilator is estimated at 4 hours, the
time required for the motor to reach thermal equilibrium. However, this period
may need to be extended depending on the system within which the
ventilator is used given the fact that the system itself must reach equilibrium
before the tests are truly representative.
Measure the line current upstream of the motor. The reading obtained
may be greater than that measured during the post start-up test but should
under no circumstances exceed the value shown on the motor plate.
Measure the temperature of the motor casing. Repeat this measurement
after one hour. At a constant ambient temperature, the temperature of the
casing should not increase by more than 2C.
Measure the speed of vibrations in three axes on the motor bearings. The
readings obtained must remain less than the criteria laid down in the previous

25
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
chapter and must not have increased by more than 15% over those recorded
during the start-up tests.

3.6 Mark VIe System
3.6.1 Overview

58
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
The Mark VIe control system is a second-generation microprocessor-based
turbine control. The Mark VIe product performs a minimal upgrade to the
Speedtronic Mark VIe turbine control system. This upgrade is an alternative to a
full cabinet replacement with a Mark VIe control. It is an upgrade to Mark VIe
control capabilities without impacting the current I/O interface. This system uses
the latest Mark VIe technology while retaining all existing I/O terminations in
the Mark VIe cabinet. Field-wiring terminations and turbine devices remain
intact to minimize installation and commissioning downtime. This upgrade
package transforms the product name from Mark VIe control to Mark VIe
control.
The retrofit includes Mark VIe compliant controllers of the same form factor,
supported by the Toolbox ST* application configuration tool. The system level
communication is through the Mark VIe-based controller Unit Data Highway
(UDH) connections on 100TX Ethernet. The resulting system has analog sample
rates, accuracies, and floating point numeric representation, making it the
functional equivalent of a Mark VIe control system. It is capable of I/O
expansion by accepting upgrades based on Mark VIe I/O packs connected
through Ethernet IO/ Net.
3.6.1.1 Ethernet Switches
The UDH, PDH, and IO Net use Fast Ethernet switches preconfigured
specifically for the turbine controls application. Any replacement switch must
also be configured with the appropriate configuration for the turbine controls
application. Redundant switches provide multiple communications links to the
controllers and HMI systems.
Some basic troubleshooting techniques are useful in the diagnosis and repair
of these systems as follows:
In the event of a network link failure, check the status LEDs at both ends of
the link. Unlit LEDs indicate a failure in that specific link. Troubleshoot the
switch, cable, HMI, or controller by substituting known working Ethernet
components until the link status LEDs show health.
On large systems, there may be many switches. It will be necessary to pursue
a half-interval (binary search) technique when troubleshooting the network
system. This half-interval approach involves isolating different local areas of the
network by removing the cables between different areas. These individual areas
can then be diagnosed using the method described above. Once all of the
individual areas are functioning, they can be connected one at a time until the
complete network is restored.
3.6.2 IO /Net and ARCNET Interface (PIOA)
3.6.2.1 Functional Description
Infrared port not used
The IO/Net ARCNET (PIOA) I/O pack provides an interface between the
59
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
newer Mark* VIe control Ethernet IO/Net and the existing Mark V control
RS-485 IO/Net or the excitation control ARCNET. The PIOA provides an
interfaces to the I/O boards TCDA and TCEA. The I/O pack mounts to the
JPDV terminal board through a 37-pin connector. The LAN connections (IO/Net
and ARCNET) are made to the JPDV.
System input to the I/O pack is through dual RJ-45 Ethernet connectors and a
3-pin power input. Visual diagnostics are provided through indicator LEDs.
There is a separate IO/Net PIOA for each core (R, S, T, and C), if the system is
TMR. Excitation control ARCNET adds a single PIOA to <C> core for simplex
applications or a single PIOA to <R> and <C> cores for redundant applications.

3.6.2.2 Diagnostics
The I/O pack performs the following self-diagnostic tests:
A power-up self-test that includes checks of RAM, flash memory, Ethernet
ports, and most of the processor board hardware
Continuous monitoring of the internal power supplies for correct operation
A check of the electronic ID information from the terminal board, acquisition
board, and processor board to confirm that the hardware set matches, followed
by a check that the application code loaded from flash memory is correct for the
hardware set
Monitoring for loss of communications (DLAN+ or RS-485 IO/Net).

interface for the PIOA pack to the DLAN+ to the excitation control and the
RS-485 IO/Net to TCDAs and TCEAs.
3.6.3.2 Diagnostics
Each terminal board connector has its own ID device that is interrogated by
the I/O pack/board. The connector ID is coded into a read-only chip containing
the board serial number, board type, revision number, and the JR1/JS1/JT1
connector location. When the chip is read by the controller and a mismatch is
encountered, a hardware incompatibility fault is created.
3.6.4 Mark VIe Control I/O Communication (PMVE)
3.6.4.1 Functional Description
The Mark* VIe control PMVE (based on the UCSA processor board)
communicates and controls one or more I/O agents across the high-speed serial
link (HSSL). The PMVE supports the MVRA, MVRB, and MVRF boards in
TMR and simplex configuration, as well as the MVRC board in simplex
configuration. Configuration parameters from the ToolboxST* application are
used for customization. The UCSA is a stand-alone control processor board that
is loaded with specific software and combined with one of the Mark VIe analog
I/O boards to become the PMVE module.
The PMVE is controlled by the Mark VIe controller through the IO/Net. The
controller contains the application code blockware that can be customized for a
particular application. The PMVE operating system (OS) is QNX Neutrino,
a real-time, multitasking OS designed for high-speed, high-reliability industrial
applications. Six communication ports provide links to I/O, operator, and
engineering interfaces as follows:
RS-232C connection for setup using the COM1 port
Ethernet connection for the IO/Net (two ports)
High Speed Serial Links (HSSL) (three ports)
3.6.4.2 Diagnostics
The I/O module performs the following self-diagnostic tests:
A power-up self test that includes checks of RAM, flash memory, Ethernet
ports, and most of the processor board hardware

followed by a check that the application code loaded from flash memory is
correct for the hardware set.
Each input has sensor limit checking, open circuit detection, dc bias auto
nulling, and excessive dc bias detection. Alarms are generated for these
diagnostics.
Details of the individual diagnostics are available in the ToolboxST
application. I/O block SYS_OUTPUTS, input RSTDIAG can be used to direct
all I/O modules to clear from the alarm queue all diagnostics in the normal
healthy state.

3.7Information and Recommendations about Noise


3.7.1 Introduce
The equipment supplied by GE emits a certain noise level. The sound levels
created by the equipments must be known and taken into account so that
workers hearing can be efficiently protected from this hazard. Noise exposure
requirements are specific to each countrys laws or are derived from
international standards.
3.7.1.1European directive 2003/10/CE
Regulations about noise exposure define the admissible limits for a worker
exposed to noise following two quantitative criteria :
daily noise exposure level, referred to as LEX,8h (dB(A) re. 20 Pa). It is
the time-weighted average of the noise exposure levels for a nominal
eight-hour working day. This figure is equivalent to an eight-hour exposure to
a constant noise level.
peak sound pressure, referred to as peak. It is the maximum value of the
C-frequency weighted instantaneous noise pressure. It can also be expressed

64
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
in dB(C) in relation to 20 Pa.
Since February 15th, 2006, the European directive 2003/10/CE applies.
This directive defines the exposure limit values and exposure action values for
the above-defined criteria :
a. exposure limit values : LEX,8h = 87 dB(A) and = 200 Pa (i.e. 140
dB(C)).
b. upper exposure action values : LEX,8h = 85 dB(A) and = 140 Pa(i.e.
137 dB(C)).
c. lower exposure action values : LEX,8h = 80 dB(A) and = 112 Pa(i.e.
135 dB(C)).
Whatever the noise level, the directive requires from the employer the
following :
a determination and assessment of risks by measuring the noise level which
the workers are exposed to.
if necessary, implementation of mitigative measures intended to limit
exposure and reduce risks.
The extent of the actions to be undertaken depends on the severity of the
exceeding of the limit values (situation b. or c.). A common mitigative action
consists in limiting the duration of the exposure.
OSHA regulation 1910.95
Required maximum noise levels, defined in the table below, depend on the
time during which personnel is exposed to noise.
Duration per day (hours) Sound level (dB(A), slow response)
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1 105
3.7.2 Noise Emitted by the Plant
3.7.2.1Plant noise : measurement and guarantee
The sound pressure level has to be measured in accordance with ISO 10494
and an engineering method (uncertainty grade 2).
The sound pressure levels measured around gas turbines does not vary
significantly during base load operation. The below figure shows typical sound
65
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
pressure level figures inside acoustical enclosures .

The below figure sketch the contour on which noise measurements are made :
SPL is considered in dB(A) at 1 meter from the surface of the equipment and at
an elevation of 1,6 meter above the operating level and any platform accessible
by stairs. This implies that the noise level between two equipments separated by
a distance inferior to 2 meters is not guaranteed.

The expected sound emissions provided herein are instructional in nature and
intent. They are not to be considered as a guarantee. Guarantees pertaining to
66
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
sound emissions are found in the contract documents for a project.

4.4 Special Sequences
4.4.1 General
This document completes the normal operation sequences and contains specific
instructions for special sequences.
The following standard text applies to all gas turbines type 9000E (100 to
150MW). Optional equipment is often identified by the symbol () in the text.
The text is intended as a guide for the operator. The experience acquired during
the day-to-day operation of the plant will enable the operating staff to further
supplement and refine the recommendations contained in this document.
4.4.2 Starting Mode
The operator usually starts the gas turbine in automatic mode by selecting
Auto on the main screen, or Remote for remote operation. Mode Select
Crank and Fire are available for specific sequence test.
Crank allows normal starting sequence of the gas turbine up to firing speed
but without firing. This mode is used to test the starting means system.
Fire allows normal starting sequence of the gas turbine including firing, but
without accelerating the shaft line. This mode is used to test the firing sequence.
Both Crank and Fire mode select may be used to demonstrate or to test
manually cranking and/or firing after main maintenance activity on the gas
turbine and are not used during normal operation.
4.4.3 Interruption of the Turning Gear Sequence
The turning period is necessary for cooling down the shaft line after a shutdown.
This operation is carried out at low speed by the turning gear motor while the
auxiliary oil pump is running.
Loss of AC power at the level of the auxiliaries causes the turning gear motor
and the auxiliary lube oil pump to shut down. The emergency lube oil pump will
then start to allow the shaft line to be bought to a complete shutdown.
Subsequently, the emergency lube oil pump will shut down and restart at cyclic
intervals for short operating periods in order to cool the bearings. The integrity of

72
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
the shaft line is thus preserved.
By contrast, the absence of rotation entails a risk of reversible deformation of
the shaft which has no consequences for the gas turbine but which will impact
restarting and hence the generation of power for the grid.
In this situation, check that the emergency lube oil pump performs its cyclic
sequences, take corrective action as necessary to restore the AC power supply, and
then restart the turning gear sequence for 24 to 48 hours as a function of the
duration of the interruption and the wheel-space temperature. Monitor the turning
speed, if it drops considerably, check for absence of friction noise at the axial
compressor.
If the turbine needs to be used for power generation, leave the turbine in turning
sequence for ten minutes and then carry out the normal start-up sequence. The
vibration level can rapidly increase after ignition during speed ramp-up: in this
case give a shutdown command as soon as the 20mm/s threshold has been reached,
maintain the turning gear sequence for a few minutes and then restart the gas
turbine.
Proceed in the same way if the vibration level reaches 20mm/s with the second
attempt.
4.4.4 Faulty Ignition
4.4.4.1 Normal Ignition

value :
With gas fuel (), the pressure control valve (VRS) opens to regulate the
inter-valve pressure as a function of the speed, the flow control valve (VGC)
assumes its ignition value.
With liquid fuel (), the flow control valve closes to obtain the ignition speed
of the flow divider corresponding to the control signal (FSR) and the turbine
speed.
The flame must rapidly establish itself in all combustion chambers.
4.4.4.2 Faulty Ignition
Faulty ignition is an incident that requires investigation and corrective action.
Prior to any new attempt, the following must be checked :
The fuel conditions: availability, pressure.
The proper functioning of the igniter plugs.
The proper functioning of the flame detection system.
The proper functioning of the fuel valves.
The proper functioning of the liquid fuel atomization conditions ().

73
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
The presence or absence of liquid fuel at the turbine and the exhaust (VA17)
().
4.4.5 Inline Filter Chang over
Certain systems are equipped with double filters () allowing switching
between the filters during operation.
For this switching, the standby filter must be available: cartridges installed and
in good condition, drain circuit closed, vent circuit closed, pressure drop
measurement system operational.
Let us consider an active filter (A) and a standby filter (S). The changeover
procedure is comprised of the following steps:
Filling of filter S: fill up by using the small manual valve provided for this
purpose. Check that the filter is fully filled either via the sight glass (e.g. lube oil)
or at the vent located at the filter highest point.
Switching from A to S: slowly open the inlet and outlet valves of filter S, or
slowly operate the changeover valve ().
Deactivation of filter A: slowly close the inlet changeover valve, close the
small filling valve.
4.4.6 Restart after Trip with Heavy Fuel or Naphta ()
When the gas turbine is running on heavy fuel or naphta, the fuel piping (pump,
flow divider, nozzles) are filled with this liquid.
If a trip occurs in these conditions, the piping must be purged before the turbine
is restarted. This automatic procedure applies directly after the incident, as soon
as the turbine reach turning gear sequence. End of purging sequence must be
confirm by the operator using Purge End confirmation.
After the purge sequence, the liquid fuel line is available for ignition with
starting fuel (Light distillate or gas ()).
4.4.7 Turbine Washing()
When the gas turbine is running on heavy fuel, additive product is injected in
the liquid fuel line to inhibit chemical action of fuel contaminant.
The additive product creates a deposit within the turbine nozzles. The purpose
of turbine washing is to remove this deposit.
Turbine washing is the same control sequence as OFF line compressor washing.
The operator must use the compressor OFF line screen to proceed to turbine
washing with similar initial conditions.
When additive product is injected, turbine washing must be carried out every
250 running hours.
4.4.8 Turbine Cleaning
74
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
The use of low grade liquid fuels such as heavy blended distillates, crude oils
and residual fuel oils induces accumulation of undesirable deposits around turbine
buckets, nozzles, and combustion parts due to the presence of sodium, potassium,
vanadium, calcium, lead, inhibitor and ashes.
Most sodium and potassium and usually some of the calcium can be removed
by a water washing treatment of a fuel oil. However, removal of lead, vanadium,
and the remainder of the calcium cannot be removed by any economical treatment
method. The influence of corrosion by vanadium is reduced by addition of
magnesium to a fuel. During combustion, ash from sodium, potassium, and
magnesium which are in a fuel after treatment will be deposited in the turbine and
combustion sections. Some of the deposits will come off during a turbine's start up
and shutdown heating and cooling cycle due to different coefficient of expansion
for metal and ash. However, the remainder will cause a gradual loss in power
output and an increase in compressor pressure ratio. This ash can be partially
removed by turbine solid compound cleaning procedures, but washing is also
required to effectively remove most of the deposits.
4.4.9 Over-speed Test
The over-speed protection circuit must be inspected once a year by simulation.
Real testing of the protection can be carried out after each combustion
inspection.
4.4.9.1 Ignition Conditions
Hot gas turbine, i.e. having operated at no-load for 45 minutes or at load for 30
minutes. Gas turbine operating at nominal no-load speed, disconnected from the
grid.
4.4.9.2 Sequence
Choose the over-speed test control screen.
Select the protection module.
Increase the speed until trip occurs. The speed increase must be maintained
without interruption until trip occurs.
4.4.9.3 Final Conditions
Following this test, the turbine trips and continues its shutdown cycle until the
turning gear is activated. Clear the alarms. The gas turbine is now available again.
4.4.10 Lube Oil Pump Restart Test
Test valves are mounted on the lube oil supply circuit upstream of the pressure
control valve (VPR2). When closing the plunger valves, these valves allow the
pressure of the sensors to be reduced in order to activate the pump restart
sequences.

4.4.11 Prolonged Shutdown
For particular operating reasons, the turbo-generator set may be shut down
for a relatively long period of time, more than one week, provided it can be
started up, at short notice, to generate power for the grid.
In this standby situation, the following instructions must be observed :
Keep the electric auxiliaries and the control cabinets energized.
Keep the heating systems (cabinet, compartments, generator) and the air
conditioning system in automatic mode.
The lube oil heating system automatically starts, with the oil pump, to keep
the viscosity at a value that is compatible with the turbine start-up.
Keep the pipe tracing systems in automatic mode.
Start up the gas turbine two to four times a month with a few minutes in
turning gear operation before starting, fire and synchronizing at low load to
validate all sequences. Shut down the turbine and observe the 24-hour turning

7 Gas Turbine Auxiliary Equipment System
7.1 Lubricating Oil System
7.1.1 Definition
To lubricate the shaft line including the accessory gear box.
To provide oil for the Hydraulic system.
To provide oil for the torque converter.
The lubricating oil system is a close loop where oil flow is built up from the
oil tank located in the lower part of the accessory base by:
A shaft driven main pump.
An Alternative Current motor driven auxiliary pump for starting and
shutdown sequences
A Direct Current motor driven emergency pump for emergency shutdown
Lubricating oil conditioning includes:
Oil tank warming up to keep acceptable oil viscosity while the unit is at
standstill
Oil flow cooling down to eVACuate heat from the bearings
Oil flow filtering
Oil Header Pressure regulating at constant pressure
Oil mist elimination
Bearings feeding and return lines are concentric lines; feeding line is installed
in return line. The lubricating oil flows back in the tank by gravity.
Part of the gas turbine bearing sealing air provided by the compressor returns
with the oil in the oil tank and is eVACuated to the atmosphere through the oil
mist eliminator.

7.1.3 Additional Information


7.1.3.1 Lubricating oil heater:
When the heater is heating, starting manually or not, the auxiliary lube oil
pump is running automatically
Auxiliary and emergency pump test:
A test valve associated with a push button valve connected upstream the
VPR2-1 regulating valve allows testing sequence of both pumps while the gas
turbine is running. When the test is completed and the test valve closed,
auxiliary pump stops automatically, the emergency pump needs a stop order at
the MCC panel to stop. The auxiliary and emergency pump test must be
demonstrated once a month.
7.1.3.2 Emergency oil pump Loss of AC power
The emergency lube oil pump starts automatically only during loss of AC
power as the shaft line runs down. Run down may be resulting of normal or
emergency shut down or loss of turning gear sequence. If loss of AC power
remains after complete shaft stop, the emergency oil pump runs three minutes
every fifteen minutes to cool down the bearings until AC power comes back.
Refer to Special sequences.
7.1.3.3 Oil sampling
Two valves connected both sides of the filter allow filtered oil and not
filtered oil sampling. Oil characteristics must be checked once every three
months.
7.1.3.4 Oil flowing
Sight glasses are fitted at filter vent, cooler vent, bearing return lines. They
allow the operator to check oil flowing, especially after manual operation
related to those components.
7.1.4 Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Gas Turbines
These instructions contain information intended to help the purchaser of a
General Electric gas turbine and the lubricant supplier to select the proper grade

161
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
and quality of lubricating oil for the turbine application.
The successful operation of the gas turbine and its driven equipment is vitally
dependent upon the lubrication system. Therefore, it is necessary that all factors
contributing to correct lubrication be present and that the entire system be
maintained in good order.
The life of the apparatus depends upon a continuous supply of lubricant of
proper quality, quantity, temperature, and pressure.
When applying a new lubricating oil it is recommended that laboratory test
comparisons be made with a known successful oil.

7.1.4.1 Operating Temperatures
Lubricating oil is exposed to a range of temperatures as it is circulated
through the gas turbine. For reliable circulation of oil before starting, the oil
temperature should be 70_F (21_C) to obtain the appropriate viscosity.
The normal bearing inlet oil temperature is 130_F (54_C). However, because
of customer requirements or because of ambient conditions and/or coolant
temperatures, the actual operating conditions may be different.
162
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
The lubricating system cooling equipment is designed to maintain the nominal
130_F (54_C) bearing inlet oil temperature when raw water is available for
cooling. However, when radiator systems are involved, the sizing is such that for
the maximum recorded ambient temperature at the site, the bearing header
temperature may be 160_F (71_C). The minimum recommended oil inlet
temperature is 90_F (32_C). The gas turbine bearings are designed to operate
satisfactorily at these inlet oil temperatures. With radiator systems, the nominal
130_F (54_C) bearing header will be maintained for a high percentage of the
operating time. In special cases, other design header temperatures are used as
dictated by the load devices.
Operating bearing temperature rises are discussed in appropriate sections of
the service manual. Typically, the lubricant temperature rise from inlet to drain
is in the 25_F to 60_F (14_C to 33_C) range. If a reduction gear is involved, this
temperature rise may be 60_F (33_C).
Some gas turbines have bearings that are in an ambient of high temperature.
This ambient and the sealing air may be over 500_F (260_C). The bearing
housing is sealed with labyrinths and airflow such that the bearing drain spaces
are at approximately atmospheric pressure. A portion of the lubricating fluid will
be mixed with a small quantity of hot air and will wash metal surfaces between
the bearing housing ambient and the oil drain temperature.
The lubricant temperature in the tank will be 25_F to 40_F (14_C to 22_C)
above the bearing header. Thus, the bulk temperature will be 155_F to 200_F
(68_C to 93_C) during operation.
7.1.4.2 Responsibility of Operator
After the unit is installed, and prior to its initial starting, the operator should
take all precautions to ensure that:
a. The lubricating system has been thoroughly flushed and/or is clean.
b. The supply of turbine oil is ample for operation of the unit.
c. The type of oil is in accordance with this instruction.
During operation of the unit, the operator should establish a routine inspection
procedure to ensure that:
a. The temperature and pressure levels of the lubrication system are within
the limits specified by the service manual and the piping schematic diagrams.
b. The oil purity is maintained by checking for water leaks, by draining tank
bottoms, and by adhering closely to the recommendations set forth by the oil
vendor for sampling, purifying, and replenishing the lube oil supply or
inhibitors.
7.1.4.3 Monitoring
Lubricant condition must be monitored for reliable operation of the gas

163
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
turbine. ASTM Standard D-4378,In-Service Monitoring of Mineral Turbine
Oils for Steam and Gas Turbines" provides guidance for selecting sampling and
testing schedules. This document recommends sampling the oil after 24 hours of
service and then suggests nominal intervals depending on hours of operation.
The sampling and testing schedule should be adjusted to account for severity
of service and oil condition. ASTM Standard D-4378 provides information that
can be useful in making this determination.
a. Sampling
The proper sampling techniques are important when taking lubricant
samples. A sample to be representative must be obtained either from an
agitated tank or a free flowing line. The preferable sampling method is:
Dipping from the Tank:
Lubricant fluid sample should be taken by dipping from the tank.
Lubricant should be thoroughly
circulated (with one or more lube oil pumps) before the sample is taken.
Secondary sampling methods are:
Sampling from a Line:
The line should contain lubricating fluid which is free flowing and not
dead-headed. For instance,
the lines in the bearing header, the active filter and active heat exchanger are
free flowing; the lines
to the gauge cabinet are deadheaded. In a machine with dual filters or heat
exchangers, the inactive
filters or heat exchangers do not have flowing fluid and, therefore, are not
suitable sampling points.
When using a sampling line, make sure that the line has been thoroughly
flushed before taking a sample. Adequate amount of flushing will depend on
sampling line dimensions, length and diameter.
Tapping from a Reservoir:
As described above, the lubricant fluid must be thoroughly agitated in the
reservoir and the tap line
flushed before a sample can be taken.
A fluid sample is probably not representative if:
a. The fluid in the system is hot while the sample is cold.
b. The fluid in the system is one color or clarity in a sight glass while the
sample is a different color

164
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
or clarity.
c. The viscosity of the reservoir fluid is different than the sample when both
are at the same temperature.
It should be noted that on occasion a sample may be requested which will
not be representative. At that time, sampling instructions, as specified by the
requestor, must be followed. For example, a sample might be taken off the
top or the bottom of a tank to check for contamination. In such a case the
sampling point should be marked on the sample container.
Samples should be taken in a suitable container. To be suitable the
container should be:
a. Clean. If in doubt about its cleanliness, use another container. If this is not
possible, flush it out
with the fluid to be sampled.
b. Resistant to the material being sampled. For instance, the fire resistant
phosphate ester fluids
and some fuels will dissolve certain plastics. This includes the liner in bottle
caps. To verify the
containers resistance, if time permits, allow the sample to sit in container and
observe its effects. Aluminum foil makes a good, resistant cap liner.
c. Appropriate for whatever handling is required. Containers with leaking tops
and glass containers
improperly protected are not suitable for shipment. Note that stringent
packaging requirements
must be followed if shipment is to be made by air.
d. Of sufficient size. An extensive chemical analysis, if that is why a sample is
required, cannot
be done on the contents of a container that is too small. Normally one pint is
sufficient unless a
larger quantity is requested.
7.1.4.4 Comments
a. Oil Purifying System
External oil purification systems are not recommended. Since full-flow
filtration is included in the lubrication system, a bypass filter for dirt removal
is superfluous.
Water removal systems have not normally been installed with gas turbines.
Water contamination is limited to condensation and cooler leaks. It is
recommended that the cooling water pressure be below lube fluid pressure to
165
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
minimize the chance of water leakage into the lubrication system. An
operating gas turbine is an excellent dehydrator. Centrifuges are not
recommended because of their potential for removing oil additives.
Clay filters are not recommended for cleaning of the inhibited turbine oils
meeting these instructions.
b. Use of Additives
The customer should not incorporate any additives into the fluid except at
the request of or with the approval of the fluid supplier. This prohibition
particularly refers to the use of oiliness additives, oil dopes, preservative
oils, and engine oils which have been used in the past during installation and
maintenance. If oiling the bearing is required to facilitate rolling of the shaft,
the oil from the lubricant oil tank should be used.
c. Diagnostics Programs
Diagnostic programs such as wear metal analysis, Spectrographic Oil
Analysis Program (SOAP) or others may be used as part of oil sampling and
analysis. General Electric makes no recommendation with regard to use of
these programs. There are, however, several reservations. These programs are
useful only for establishing trends; a single point in time value is not
meaningful. Unlike aircraft jet engines and piston engines, there have not
been and are not any studies correlating the results of these programs with
performance of a gas turbine. With the type of bearings used in a gas turbine,
impending bearing failure is most likely to be predicted by analysis of
mechanical vibration.
7.1.4.5 Discussion of Test Methods
For detailed information concerning the various test methods, please refer to
the parent published documents. The discussions below will help explain these
various tests and properties.
a. Viscosity
The viscosity of a fluid is its resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly
reported in stokes which has the units of cm/sec. Centistokes (one hundredth of
one stoke) are most commonly used for convenience. The viscosity in
centistokes is also called the kinematic viscosity. The absolute or dynamic
viscosity is expressed in poise (more commonly centipoise). It is the kinematic
viscosity in stokes (or centistokes) at a given temperature multiplied by the
density of the fluid at this temperature expressed in grams/cm3.
The viscosity in centistokes is determined per ASTM D-445, Viscosity of
Transparent and Opaque Liquids (Kinematic and Dynamic Viscosities). The
viscosity is calculated from the time required for a fixed volume of fluid at a
given temperature to flow through a calibrated glass capillary instrument using
gravity flow. Centistoke viscosities can be converted to Saybolt and vice-versa

166
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
using the tables and formulas given in ASTM 2161 Conversion of Kinematic
Viscosity to Saybolt Universal Seconds.
b. Pour Point
The pour point is the lowest temperature at which a fluid is observed to flow.
It is reported in increments of 5_F and is determined as the temperature at which
fluid, contained in a tube with an inside diameter of 30 to 33.5 mm, will not flow
within five seconds of rotating the tube 90 degrees from the vertical to the
horizontal position.
The pour point is reported more as a matter of information. Of practical
concern in the design of lubrication systems is the viscosity at which the
lubricant fluid becomes too viscous to be pumped. For General Electric gas
turbines the viscosity should be less than 173 centistokes for proper circulation
of the fluid before starting.
c. Total Acid Number
The total acid number is the milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH)
required to neutralize the acidic constituents in a gram of sample. It is
determined per ASTM D-974, Neutralization Number by Color lndicator
Titration. The total acid number (TAN) is sometimes called the neutralization
number (NN) or neut number and also the acid number (AN).
d. Flash and Fire Point
Flash and Fire Points are determined per ASTM D-92, Flash and Fire Point
by Cleveland Open Cup. Flash point is the temperature at which the fluid
contained in a test cup and heated at a constant rate will flash but not burn when
a flame is passed over the cup.
Fire point is the temperature at which the fluid contained in a test cup and
heated at a constant rate will burn for at least 5 seconds when a flame is passed
over the cup.
Flash and Fire Points are an indirect measure of both the volatility of the fluid
and the flammability of these volatiles. Since there are more accurate ways of
determining these, as an example:
Distillation to determine volatiles, this test is mainly of value as a quality control
test.
e. Auto genous Ignition Temperature
The auto genous ignition temperature of a fluid is the temperature of a fluid at
which it will ignite due to heat alone, that is, without a flame or other ignition
source being used. It is determined per ASTM D-2155, Auto ignition
Temperature of Liquid Petroleum Products. It consists of injecting a small
amount of fluid into a 200 milliliter flask at elevated temperature. The lowest
temperature at which a fire occurs within five minutes of injecting the fluid is
167
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
reported.
The auto genous ignition temperature (AIT) is sometimes called spontaneous
ignition temperature (SIT). This test does not necessarily indicate ignition
temperature in a hardware situation.
f. Oxidation Tests
The ASTM D-943, Oxidation Characteristics of Inhibited Steam-Turbine
Oils" is the traditional oxidation test for turbine oils. In this test, a sample of oil
is placed in a container of water along with pieces of steel and copper wire that
have been coiled together. The container is maintained at a temperature of 95_C
(203_F) and oxygen is passed through it. The test measures the time in hours for
the acidity to reach 2.0 milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram of sample.
This test is used primarily to determine the life of the oxidation inhibitor and
does not necessarily indicate the stability of the base oil.
The ASTM D-2272, Oxidation Stability of Steam-Turbine Oils by Rotating
Bomb" is an oxygen absorption test. The test oil, water, and copper catalyst coil,
contained in a covered glass container, are placed in a bomb equipped with a
pressure gauge. The bomb is charged with oxygen to a pressure of 90 psi (620
kPa), placed in a constant temperature oil bath set at 150_C, and rotated axially
at 100 rpm at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal. The time for the test oil
to react with a given volume of oxygen is measured, with completion of the time
being indicated by a specific drop in pressure. This test is normally used for
quality control of particular new oil formulation.
Recent work shows it to be an excellent in-service monitoring test. Some
studies show it to be a good indicator of performance.
g. Foaming Tendency
The ASTM method specifies three sequences of bubbling air through oil. First,
it is done at 75_F; second, it is done with a new sample of oil at 200_F; and third,
the oil from the second sequence is used but operated at 75_F.
h. Rust Prevention
The rust prevention characteristics of the lubricant are determined per ASTM
D-665. A mixture of 300 ml of lubricant and 30 ml of distilled water (Procedure
A) is stirred while held at a temperature of 140_F. A carbon steel rod
conforming to ASTM specification A108, Grade 1018, is immersed in the oil for
a period of 24 hours then examined for rust.
i. Air Release
ASTM Test Method D-3427 describes the method for determining air release
properties of petroleum oils. Compressed air is blown through oil heated to a
specified temperature. The length of time required for the air entrained in the oil
to reduce to 0.2% is recorded as the air release time.

168
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
Air release provides a measure of the oils performance in hydraulic systems
because entrained air can lead to sponginess.
j. Viscosity Index (VI)
Viscosity Index (VI) is an arbitrary number used to characterize the variation
of kinematic viscosity with temperature. A higher VI indicates a smaller
decrease in kinematic viscosity with increasing temperature.

7.13.3 Additional Information
Solid compound cleaners must not damage a unit through their size, corrosion,
or abrasion while performing the intended function. This makes solid compound
cleaning unsuitable for higher firing units, units with certain blade coatings, or
any DLN system.
Acceptable cleaning materials are all nut shelling compounds of granularly 1
to 1.7 mm and are identical to those listed for the product line in GEI-41042.
When a turbine is burning a low grade liquid fuel, it is understood that
periodic cleaning of the turbine is necessary to maintain performance. The
frequency of cleaning varies with the quantity of impurities in the fuel and also
with the number of hours of operation.
The particle distribution pattern should be such that it will clean all nozzle
partitions within each segment equally well. Although each turbine site varies, a
second and third cycle of cleaning all combustion chambers may be necessary
before no further gain in performance is observed.

Stop the dryer 2 minutes after shutting down the air compressor or interrupting the
air flow to the dryer. First close all the shut off valves up and downstream the
dryer and then immediately switch off the dryer using SA4.
Automatic Stop:
In the case of low consumption or GT air line pressure, the compressor is
stopped automatically with his own pressure regulation switch PSLH 652.
Compressor will stop when pressure switch detects a pressure above 10 bar.
Then the compressor starts to run idle pending a signal for delivery. After
running idle for about 5minutes, the compressor stops automatically and will
restart as soon as the pressure reaches the bottom threshold (8 bar)
It's easy to recognize the machine's waiting condition after an automatic stop:
- ON/OFF switch is ON

NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
In case of gas turbine air temperature after cooler too high (over 55C), the
temperature switch will close the GT air line by switching off the solenoid pilot
valve FY252. This will stop the air cooler after few minutes depending on the
timing relay KA6. When the temperature decrease under the low setting (50C),
the GT air line will open automatically.
In case of very low pressure coming from GT (under 1 bar), PSLH 254 will
switch off air cooler CLR 201. It will re-switch on when the pressure of the GT
air line will reach the high setting of the pressure switch regulation PSLH 254 (2
bar). Air cooler is controlled by the ambient temperature switch TSLH002 as
extractor for container when temperature is above high setting.
In case of compressed air low pressure PSL 661 in the tank TK 601, the priority
is maintaining instrument and service air pressure to 7 Bar and FSV 661 is closing
the self cleaning compressed air flow. When the pressure is going up 8 bar, FSV
661 will be opened automatically.
Emergency Stop
The emergency stop AU2 on the control panel stops the compressed air system
immediately .Nevertheless, a stop in load can cause severe damages to the
compressor and oil under pressure could rise up through the air filter.
7.15 Coolong And Sealing Air System
7.15.1 Definition
The cooling & sealing air system is designed for insuring the following functions:
To cool down the turbine exhaust frame and turbine casing
To cool down the turbine stage nozzle
To provide gas turbine bearings sealing air
To protect the compressor during starting and shut down sequences
To measure the compressor discharge pressure
To provide instrument air or air supply for other systems
To cool down the third bearing vibration sensors
The cooling & sealing air system is an open loop where:
Two electrically driven blowers provide the cooling air for the turbine exhaust
frame and for the turbine casing. Cooling air is then eVACuated through the # 3
bearing tunnel for the exhaust frame cooling and inside the turbine enclosure for
the cooling of turbine casing. Each blower delivers 50% of the requested cooling
flow.
The gas turbine bearing sealing air from the compressor flows back in the oil
tank and is eVACuated through the oil mist eliminator vent.

7.17.3 Additional Information
Vanadium inhibitor flow:
Vanadium inhibitor requested flow depends of the characteristics of the liquid
fuel and the inhibitor used. The general formula is
Q additive (Liter/h) = [Q fuel (kg/h) (3Va+Ni+Zn/2) x 10-6]
[additive (kg/L) Mgadditive]
additive is the density of the vanadium inhibitor in kg/liter
Q fuel is the nominal liquid fuel flow of the gas turbine in kg/hour
V is the vanadium content in the liquid fuel in ppm
Ni is the Nickel content in the liquid fuel in ppm
Zn is the Zinc content in the liquid fuel in ppm
Mg is the concentration of Magnesium in the additive (e.g. 0, 2 for 20%)
Vanadium inhibitor flow manual measurement:
A manual valve is provided to proceed to flow measurement. Once this
valve is depressed, the main and the buffer tanks are isolated and the dosing
pump feeds up from the vertical piping installed in between the two tanks. A
pressure gage scaled in meter show the consummated volume. Using a
stopwatch during the test allows the operator to calculate the flow. For this
11.3 mm diameter vertical piping, the formula is:
Flow in liter/hour = (3.61 x P) / t
P is the level difference in the vertical pipe given by the pressure gage scaled
in centimeter

198
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
t is the time scaled in seconds corresponding to P
Note: the duration of this test cannot be higher than 15 sec, due to the small
capacity of the vertical piping
The additive product flow can be adjusted by acting on the vernier (the vernier
allowing the adjustment of the dosing pump flow must be on the hold%
position).
As soon as the Gas Turbine burns crude oil, it is necessary to check every 4
hours that the proportion Mg 3V+Ni+Zn/2 is respected. Take a sample of the
crude oil and analyse the content with spectrophotometer.

7.18.2Function
PHE built up by Juyuan Companyheat energy can be transferred by
combined plates that pressed by special metal, from one side of medium to
another Heat transfer plate and sealing gaskets are belong to special
components of PHE. Sealing gasket should be formed as per the forming
procedure of integral construction. Generally, Synthetic rubber should be
adopted as the material of sealing gasket. It is necessary to conside its
temperature, chemical environment and other conditions to determine material
selection.
7.18.3Working Principles and Heat Transfer
Working Principles

199
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL

When fastening combination of plates, passage channel generated to make the


medium (heat transfer medium) flow to combination of plates from the inlet of
medium; distribute it to the narrow channel of plates. Owing to reverse order of
assembly of plate A and plate B alternately, two kinds of media flows into
passage channels, i. e. heat medium flows into odd number channel but cold
medium flows into even number channel.
Generally, two kinds of media flows in opposite direction
When heat medium through PHE, practical heat capacity is transferred to wall
of thin metal by heat medium and it is transferred to the other side of cold
medium by wall of thin metal.
While temperature of heat medium is falling
and temperature of cold medium is rising.
Finally, the two kinds of media flows to
another similar passage channels, drains off
Heat exchanger
The aim of PHE is to make medium of heat
capacity to transfer to another medium and let
is easily isolate the larger and thin metal wall
by cold and heat capacity.
Metal plate pressed by special waveform is
not only increment of strength but also increase the efficiency of heat transfer.
Pressure drop
200
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
Pressure drop means loss of energy.
The whole system of piping line, including heat equipment win generate the
resistance force due to media transfer. Under the designated conditions, pressure
drop can not be exempted from generation. For the designated heat exchanger, it
should be operated as per design requirements.
Deposition formed on the surface of heat exchanger may decrease the free
space between heat transfer plates. That means more energy need to be added to
meet the requirements of media through.
All kinds of deposit formed on the plate may decrease the efficient of heat
transfer. Waveform plate pressed by sipping
Juyuan company mentioned above, can make the
liquid to realize the turbulent flow, mthus prevent
from generating the fouling on the plate but can
not eliminate it for ever.
Deposition will evidently increase the wall
thickness of heat transfer plate and decrease the
total efficiency of heat transfer since heat
conductivity of deposition is lower than heat
transfer plate.
Deposit cleaning see Section 7
maintenance-cleaning. It is very clear that
deposition is very harmful. It will generate
corrosion due to deposition formed. Under this
circumstance, PHE may be damaged.
Obviously, we dont expect fouling generated, larger granulations and fibers
may be imbibed into PHE, blanking off equipment, unless it equipped with filler
of protective device.
If designated temperature can not be hold. And at same time, pressure drop of
any medium is increasing, that means fouling generated and banking off
happened for equipment.

valves
a. Start test of auxiliary lubricating oil pump
Start one auxiliary lubricating oil pump BPM-1, and manually or
automatically open the test solenoid valve FY265. When oil pressure in pipes
drops to PS setting value, PS265B is moved and BPM-2 is started. At this time,
the red lamp of the BPM-2 motor starter is on. If PI267B reading is more than
6Bar (88psi), it means that BPM-2 is running. After the solenoid valve is reset, the
motor control switch of the BPM-1 is instantaneously switched to STOP by hand,
the pump is stopped, after handing off, the switch is back to AUTO under the
function of spring force.
b. Start test of DC lubricating oil pump
Check the switch on the local control cabinet of the DC lubricating oil pump
and put it on AUTO. Start any lubricating oil pump, and manually or
automatically open the test solenoid valve FY266. When the oil pressure in pipes
drops to PS266A/B setting value, the DC pump EBPM is started.
At this time, the red lamp of the motor starter of the EBPM pump is on. If
PI268 reading is more than 4.5Bar (65psi), it means that the EBPM pump is
started. And reset the solenoid valve FY266.
After the switch on the local control cabinet of the DC lubricating oil pump is
switched to STOP, the DC oil pump is stopped. After handing off, the switch is
back to AUTO under the function of spring force.

8.2.4.4. Finish switching program.
8.3 Start of Hydraulic Oil Power Unit
8.3.1 Initial Start of Pump after Overhauled
8.3.2.1. Before starting the pump, hydraulic oil tank temperature indicated by TI280
must be ranged from 18 to 44. If the temperature is lower than 30.83,
TS280A contact moves to make the circulating pump rotated, FY286 solenoid
valve gets power, PI222B pressure is reduced, cooling loop is cut off, PI230B
pressure is increased, FV-34 is connected (its setting value is 14kg/cm), the
circulating pump forces the oil circulation of the oil tank to be warmed up,
and warming-up speed is 2.8 per hour. When the oil temperature of the oil
tank reaches 36.4, the circulating pump is stopped, and FY286 solenoid

215
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
valve loses power.
If the temperature is higher than 48.8, TS280B contact moves to make
the fans of the circulating pump and the cooling loop rotated, and meanwhile,
the solenoid valve is driven to the power-loss position, PI222B pressure is
increased, and the cooling loop is connected.
After oil temperature meets requirement (the temperature of oil in the oil
tank drops to 43.3), FY-286 shall send out signals to stop heating or cooling
hydraulic oil circulating pump.
8.3.2.2. Open the bypass valve FY7 of the hydraulic oil system to make hydraulic oil
return to the oil tank at low pressure. When the hydraulic oil pump is started
at the first time, the bypass valve FV-7 can be connected to avoid sudden rise
of oil pressure in the hydraulic oil mother tube. After the pump is started
normally, the bypass valve FV-7 can be slowly closed.
8.3.2.3. Open the isolation valves FV10, FV11 and FV12 of the energy accumulator.
8.3.2.4. Close the drain valves FV13, FV14 and FV15 of the energy accumulator.
8.3.2.5. Jog the hydraulic pump to check whether its direction is right or not, if yes,
stop it after it reaches full speed.
8.3.2.6. After the pump is running for 1 minute, air brought in the oil tank can be
automatically discharged. Open the inlet isolation valve FV18 of PI280C,
and partially close the bypass valve FV7 to establish 14.1kg/ cm of mother
tube oil pressure.
8.3.2.7. Check external leakage under low pressure. If there is no leakage, totally
close the bypass valve.
8.3.2.8. The pressure of the pressure compensator on the main hydraulic pump is set
to 35.2kg/ cm before delivery. At this time, the lock nut of the compensator
is unscrewed, and during adjustment, the lock nut is rotated anticlockwise.
The pressure of the mother tube rises up to 70kg/cm quickly, which is just
the charge pressure of the energy accumulator. After exceeding the
pre-charge pressure, pressure rising rate shall be changed very slowly
because of feeding oil to the energy accumulator.
8.3.2.9. Rotate the lock nut for 1/2 circle at this time and adjust the pressure
compensator by stages till PI280C reaches the required pressure of the
system. After adjustment, screw up the lock nut of the compensator.
8.3.2.10. Open the bypass valve FV7, and stop the hydraulic pump which has been
adjusted properly. Start the second pump, and repeat the mentioned program
according to steps 5-9.
8.3.2 Test Before Pump Start

click Heavy target in Fuel Select column. The Heavy target lamp is
on to start switching heavy oil;
c Record the active and reactive power of the unit;
d Through observation, the opening degree HFTOUT of the three-way valve
is slowly increased from 5% of light oil level. Through observation, FTL
temperature rising rate behind the heavy oil three-way valve is uniform
through adjusting temperature setting value behind the three-way valve,
and FTL temperature rise is controlled to be less than 13/min;
e After the three-way valve leaves the light oil level, the vanadium inhibitor
pump is started, and vanadium inhibitor flowmeter FQLX1/FQLX2 have
reading. As the increment of heavy oil flow, the reading shall be also
increased. If it is found the reading indicates 0, immediately check whether
the vanadium inhibitor flow-meter is normal or not on site, and
immediately switch to light oil operation after making sure there is
vanadium inhibitor flow;

225
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
f When HFTOUT reaches 100% heavy oil level, the unit is switched to
heavy oil. Click Set-point target in XFER Crude column, and input
160 in the window popped up;
g Pay attention to observe heavy oil pressure (FFU2), light oil pressure
(FDL2) and temperature FTL behind the heavy oil three-way valve when
switching heavy oil. As the increment of opening degree of the three-way
valve, the pressure of heavy oil shall be slightly lowered and the pressure of
light oil shall be slightly increased compared with these values before
switching, but pressure can not fluctuate too much. After switching, the
pressure of light oil and heavy oil shall be stabilized on setting values.
Monitor the exhaust temperature and temperature difference of the gas
turbine. Fuel pressure and sound should be normal, or light oil should be
switched back immediately, and can be switched again after finding out
causes. The followings should be checked on site after switching:
a) The three-way valve has been switched to the position of heavy oil;
b) Heavy oil flow meter is rotated normally;
c) Light oil is circulating normally;
d) Vanadium inhibitor pump and flow meter run normally;
e) The front station has no oil leakage;
f) The pressure difference of each filter screen is normal.
8.7.3.6 Steam temperature matching (completed by ST MK VIe unless otherwise stated)
The generator switch is closed, DCS shall start the temperature-matching
permitted logic, and the unit shall enter the matching procedure of gas turbine
exhaust temperature and HP and MP steam inlet chamber metal temperature of the
steam turbine.
The standard exhaust temperature is calculated by DCS system when the
generator switch is closed.
There are two ways for making the gas turbine to reach the standard values:
a. During cold start, the angle of IGV should be increased to increase air flow at
constant output power for lowering exhaust temperature. During cold start,
there is lower gas turbine exhaust temperature for matching with lower steam
turbine metal temperature. The speed of opening IGV can be 0.5 per
second according to exhaust temperature changing speed. The final angle
position for opening IGV depends on the completion time of the steam
temperature matching program.
b. During hot start, since the gas turbine exhaust temperature achieved at
spinning reserve load is lower than the standard exhaust temperature, the gas
turbine should be loaded to increase exhaust temperature for reaching
standard value under this condition. Under spinning reserve loads, loading
226
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
up rate required for temperature matching is 0.5 per second according to
exhaust temperature rise speed. The maximum load can reach 80MW. When
the difference of the exhaust temperature of the gas turbine and the standard
value is within 5.6, the steam temperature matching procedure is finished.
But only when the temperature matching logic circuit of the gas turbine
Mark Vie is finished when the steam turbine is initially loaded and the steam
turbine enters pressure control (IPC) mode, the unit can exit the steam
temperature matching procedure.
When the unit is running under the mode of Temperature Matching ON,
steam temperature matching program shall be achieved automatically in any
methods.
8.7.3.7 Warming-up and pressurization of high pressure steam system
a. After the gas turbine is ignited, since the steam turbine is ready to be started,
the high pressure steam isolation valve of the heat recovery boiler has been
totally opened, and pipes in front of the heat recovery boiler body, the high
pressure steam bypass control valve and the main steam control valve have
been heated and pressurized.
b. After warming up, the super-heater bleed valve is opened; when pressure in
the high pressure steam drum rises up to 1.5bar, the valve is closed.
c. After the gas turbine is warmed up, the pressure in the high pressure steam
drum is kept between 0.5 and 1.5bar, and positive pressure conditions for
drainage are ready.
d. When high pressure steam pressure reaches 39bar of setting pressure of the
high pressure steam bypass control valve, namely bottom line pressure, the
valve is opened. When its opening degree reaches 20%, the drainage valve
on the high pressure segment is totally closed, and the drainage procedure
of the high pressure segment is finished. During starting, the maximum
opening degree of the high pressure steam bypass control valve is 90%.
When the opening degree reaches 90%, the setting pressure value of the
high pressure steam bypass control valve shall rise up or be improved, and
its opening degree shall be limited below 90%.
8.7.3.8 Loading up of high pressure segment of steam turbine
a. When meeting the following conditions, DCS sends out instruction to open
the high pressure steam control valve:
a) The output power of the gas turbine is equal to or more than rotary
standby loads;
b) Steam temperature matching procedure is finished;
c) The opening degree of the high pressure steam bypass control valve is
more than 20%;

227
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
d) The drainage program of the high pressure segment is finished;
e) The pressure of high pressure steam is more than 39bar;
f) High pressure steam temperature is higher than the metal temperature of
the high pressure steam inlet chamber or the difference of the temperature
and the exhaust temperature of the gas turbine is no more than 40;
g) The degree of superheat of high pressure steam is more than 41.7.
b. The high pressure steam regulating valve is opened at the initial speed
determined in stress control logic, and meanwhile:
a The high pressure pump-out valve is closed;
b The high pressure steam bypass control valve is endowed with pressure
control. As the main steam regulating valve is gradually opened, steam
flows in the steam turbine, the high pressure bypass control valve shall be
closed. When the high pressure bypass control valve is closed to 10% of
opening degree, DCS shall switch the control mode of steam turbine to
the steam inlet pressure control of the main steam valve from stress
control;
c Before the main steam regulating valve is endowed with steam inlet
pressure control, if the opening degree of the main steam regulating valve
is more than 95%, the main steam regulating valve can be prevented from
being totally opened through further improving the pressure setting value
of the high pressure bypass control valve;
c. When the opening degree of the main steam regulating valve is more than
11%, the steam trap in front of the valve seat of the main steam regulating
valve can be totally opened and closed.
d. When the high pressure steam bypass control valve is totally closed, the
main steam regulating valve is endowed with steam inlet pressure control.
DCS sends out a signal to MK VIE for cutting off steam temperature
matching. If the control valve is started at a cold state, the IGV angle is
increased for steam temperature matching, at this time, GT IGV is closed
to the angle of 49.At this time, DCS further sends a new standard exhaust
temperature variation value to MK VI, thereby canceling steam
temperature matching. MK VI shall close down IGV according to standard
speed given by DS.
8.7.3.9 Operation of low pressure steam system of heat recovery boiler
a. After warming up the gas turbine, the vent valve of the low pressure
super-heater is opened. When the pressure of the steam drum reaches to
1.5bar, the vent valve is closed.
b. After warming up the gas turbine, the pressure of the low pressure steam
drum is ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 bar, and positive pressure for drainage is

228
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
ready.
c. When the pressure of low pressure steam rises up to the bottom-line
pressure of low pressure steam, the low pressure steam bypass valve is
opened; when its opening degree reaches 20%, the drainage program of the
low pressure segment is finished.
d. When the following conditions are met, the low pressure steam cutoff valve
is opened gradually:
a) The exhaust temperature of the low pressure super-heater is normal. The
steam trap in front of the main low pressure steam valve can be opened for
at least 3 minutes;
b) The time for opening the low pressure bypass valve beyond 20% should
last for at least 60 seconds.
c) ; After the high pressure steam control valve is opened above 20% for 60s,
the steam turbine enters pressure control.
d) The drainage procedure of the low pressure segment has been finished.
e. After the low pressure steam cutoff valve is totally opened for 60s, the
pressure setting point of the low pressure steam bypass valve rises up to rated
setting value from phased bottom-line pressure rise at the very beginning.
This value is higher than the corresponding low-pressure steam pressure
value when the low pressure steam control valve is totally opened. When low
pressure steam pressure exceeds the pressure setting value of the low
pressure bypass valve, the low pressure regulating steam valve shall be
opened by ST MK VIE under steam inlet pressure control mode. When the
setting pressure of the low pressure bypass valve exceeds the maximum
pressure in normal running, the low pressure bypass valve shall be gradually
closed. If the liquid level of the low pressure steam drum is alarmed due to
high level, the impulse-type valve opening procedure shall be temporarily
interrupted till the liquid level is lowered below the high level alarm line, and
then the valve opening procedure can be continued till the valve is totally
opened.
f. Previously, when the opening degree of the high pressure steam control
valve is above 20% for 60s and the auxiliary main steam valve is normally
running, the auxiliary steam control valve still works; if the steam pressure in
the communicating pipe is lowered to auxiliary steam pressure setting point,
PCV6609 control valve can be automatically opened, the insufficiency of
low pressure steam flow is compensated by reheat steam of the medium
pressure cooler.
8.7.3.10 Ready to add load for the gas turbine

temperature of the gas turbine is lower than 65.5 and the temperatures of
all cylinder walls of the steam turbine are lower than 260, the turning
gear can be stopped in case of no startup plan recently.
d. Before the unit should be restarted when the turning gear is normally
stopped in 48 hours after shutdown, the unit should be continuously turned
for at least 4 hours.
e. If the unit is stopped for long term without turning, it should be
continuously turned within 12 hours before startup.

i. If the unit is stopped and its turning gear can not be operated for some
reason, the unit can be restarted after 48 hours of shutdown, and the supply
of lubricating oil can be kept only if at all possible.
j. If it is found that the degree of eccentricity is too big (0.05) during turning,
the rotor shall be rotated for 180from the shutdown position every time,
thereby correcting the instantaneous bending condition of the rotor, and
then the unit can be continuously turned. If the shaft is still hot, lubricating
oil supply must be kept to prevent damaging the bearing due to overheat.
k. If the degree of eccentricity is higher than normal at any time after
shutdown, the unit should be still continuously turned till the degree of
eccentricity is normal, and the unit should be still kept at this state for at
least 1 hour.
l. If the turning gear of the unit should be emergently shut down for overhaul
after the unit is shut down:

accelerated to be cooled down in a cold dragging method.
b) When wheel-to-wheel temperature is less than 120 and more than
65.5, after getting approval of the superior leaders of the chief engineer,
the turning gear can be shut down for rush repair. After rush repair, the unit
must be continuously turned immediately, and then workers should go to
the turbine room for sound detection, after sound detection is normal, the
unit can send shutdown orders again after dragged at cold state for half an
hour. Then starting orders are sent out by FIRE mode after the turning
gear is put into operation. During the starting process, pay close attention to
the vibration of the unit. After the unit is powered on normally, shutdown
orders can be sent out after keeping fire mode for 20 minutes. After putting
the turning gear into operation, it should be dragged to run above 15
minutes at cold state. After finishing the mentioned steps, the unit can be
normally started;
c) When wheel-to-wheel temperature is lowered below 65.5 , but the
temperature of any cylinder wall exceeds 260, the turning gear can be
stopped within 10 minutes. Try to keep the lubricating oil pump running
and prevent the temperature of the bearing pad exceeding 148.9 of upper
limit. After rush repair, the unit must be continuously turned immediately,
and then workers should go to the turbine room for sound detection, after
sound detection is normal and the eccentric index of the unit is recovered to
the minimum value and is kept at for 1 hour, the unit can be started in a
normal mode.

cooler is lower than 7.65bar, the other lubricating oil pump shall be
automatically put into operation, pressure in front of the lubricating oil pressure
regulator is lower than 6.55bar, and the DC lubricating oil pump is automatically
put into operation. When it is needed to supply sealing oil to the generator for
shutdown overhaul, the direct current sealing oil pump is put into operation.
8.10.6.4 When the speed of the unit is lowered to 50%, check whether the jacking oil
pump is normally put into operation or not.
8.10.6.5 Check whether the unit is turned normally or not.
8.10.6.6 After getting agreement of the chief supervisor, reset the manual emergency
shutdown button to confirm alarm.
8.10.6.7 After completion, start next operation after getting the orders of the chief
supervisor, and make accident report.
Since emergency shutdown can be caused by many abnormal conditions,
operators must comprehensively investigate the causes of every trip and adopt
necessary remedial measures for preparing the turning operation of the unit safely.
8.10.7 Alarm Type
The alarm type and measures adopted of the steam turbine MK-VIE and gas turbine
MK-VIE:
8.10.7.1 Process alarms refer to control specification MLI-A010
Process alarms are caused by equipment and process problems, they will warn
the operators by means of information on HMI screen. The alarm is formed in the
MK-VIE controller by alarm formed on the input/output plate in sequence.
Measures adopted aiming at the process alarms of different systems have been
listed in the alarm table of each system.
8.10.7.2 Hold list alarms refer to the hold list of control specification 377A5904
Alarm is similar with process alarms, its additional features are that when the
signals of the hold list are at alarm status (hold appears), the scanner can drive
appointed signals. The scanning signals can be used for inhibiting the automatic
start logic of the steam turbine. At this time, operators can manually surpass hold
list signals to run the program even if the hold state is not canceled. Measures
adopted aiming at the hold list alarms of different systems have been listed in the
248
NANDIPUR 425MW CCPP GAS TURBINE OPERATION MANUAL
alarm table of the whole system.
8.10.7.3 Diagnostic alarms
Diagnostic alarms are related to the equipment of the control system (electronic
circuit elements and circuit board), they shall be found in self-diagnostic
inspection process. Failed modules shall be marked out in diagnostic alarms for
facilitating quick repair of the system. If fault details are required, operators can
require to displaying them on the screen of the toolbox (MK-VI) or looking at
them from the HMI alarm display screen.
