Standard Technical Features of BTG System for Supercritical 660/800 MW Thermal Units

6.4.5 Operation with HP and LP turbine bypass system

i) With HP-LP bypass system in operation, the unit shall be capable of

smooth start-up, fast loading & house load operation.

ii) Steam Turbine trip will call for boiler operation in HP/LP bypass mode.
Under this condition, the boiler shall be capable of operating with SH
flow corresponding to capacity of HP bypass system and feed water
temperature of approximately 140C at economiser inlet.

6.4.6 Mode of steam generator operation and rate of loading

i) As mentioned above, the Steam Generators shall be designed for variable

pressure operation. Thermal design of Steam Generator and the selection
of materials of pressure parts shall be suitable for variable pressure
operational modes.

ii) The Steam Generators shall be designed for minimum rate of loading/
unloading mentioned below without compromising on design life of
pressure parts:
a) Step load change : Minimum 10%

b) Ramp rate : Minimum 3% per minute above 30% load

iii) The maximum rates of loading/ unloading achievable with Steam

Generator offered and the corresponding limiting variations (%) of boiler
parameters such as oxygen in flue gas, SH/RH steam temperature, furnace
draft, etc. shall be indicated.

6.4.7 Steam generator control range

The automatic outlet steam temperature control range of Steam Generator

shall be from 50% TMCR to 100% BMCR for superheater as well as reheater.
Under the above control range, the steam temperatures at SH & RH outlets
shall be maintained at their rated values within allowable +/- 5C temperature
variation.

6.4.8 Provision for future installation of FGD system

A flue gas desulphurization (FGD) system may be installed in future to meet

the requirements of pollution control. Following provisions need to be kept for
this purpose:

i) Suitability of duct between ID fan and chimney for future interconnection

of FGD system with minimum modification.
