2.4 Lube oil system
The unit is equipped with one mechanical shaft-driven pump [PL-1], an AC auxiliary
pump [PL- 2] and a DC emergency pump [PL- 3]. Their purpose is, to lubricate and
cooling the GT, as well as the gear box and generator, bearings during the unit operation.
The lube oil pumps are designed for continuous operation but are not operated after the
gas turbine package is shut down and the cooldown timer has elapsed.
To operate the mineral lube oil pumps, the oil tank level and temperature shall be
between the operation limits; if the level (304+406 mm. from tank top cover) or
temperature (21 °C+80°C) is not OK before starting, starting will be inhibited and an
alarm will occur. If one of the parameters will be not OK during operation of the unit an
alarm and subsequently a shut down will occur.
Valves position (opened/closed) for initial start-up and normal operation of lube oil
system is indicated in Schematic Piping Diagram N° SOM 5081322/1, sheet 3/4.
Prior to start the gas turbine, the operator selects: "Auto" control in MCC for [23QT-1+4]
lube oil heaters, [88QA I 88QE] auxiliary/emergency lube oil pumps.
When unit start is selected the lube oil system starts automatically.
When the right pressure is restored permission to continue with starting sequence is
gtven.
When the gas turbine reaches the "OPERATING SPEED" 95%, the AC auxiliary lube oil
pump is stopped and the accessory gear driven main lube oil pump guarantees the oil
flow amount.
As long as the gas turbine is above the "OPERATING SPEED", if the conditions "LUBE
OIL HEADER PRESSURE LOW" (MK VI command name 4QA) will be detected, the
AC auxiliary oil pump will be automatically started. If normal conditions are restored, the
stand by pump can be stopped manually from the HMI or from the MCC according to the
duty/standby philosophy.
The lube oil header pressure low-level threshold [63QT-2B, 63QT-2C] causes the DC
emergency lube oil pump to start if lube oil header pressure is lower than the shutdown
level.
With such threshold, when the emergency pump comes in operation, the unit is in
shutdown condition.

MOD.INPR!SV/UP.F. 12100
Once the pump is started, it nrns continuously for 15 minutes and then 30 seconds on, 3
minutes off cycle is started for power supply batteries safeguarding until the end of
cooldown. The DC emergency lube oil pump will be stopped as soon as the condition
"LUBE OIL HEADER PRESSURE NORMAL" is detected [96QT-2A].
During normal GT operation, the operator is normally allowed to manually start and stop
the standby pump, unless it is prevented to nrn or required on by the control logic.

2.5 Hydraulic oil system
The Gas Turbine is equipped with one mechanical shaft-driven pump [OH-1] installed on
the Accessory gear box. Its purpose is to operate the axial compressor IGV nozzles and
the GT gas valves .[SRV-1 and VCG-1].
The H.P oil pump is designed for continuous operation but is not operated after the gas
turbine package is shut down.
To operate the Hydraulic oil pump, the oil pressure shall be inside the operation limit; if
the pressure value is not OK (7 MPa G minimum) an alarm will occur. The maximal
pressure admitted for the hydraulic mechanical driven pump delivery is 9 MPa G
regulated by a overpressure valve [VR-21]; and is also protected from overpressure by a
pressure regulating valve [JPR3-1] inside the pump body that will be regulated at 8 MPa
G.
If the pressure decrease under the minimal pressure (7 MPa G) during the Unit operation
an alarm is generated by a pressure switch [96HQ-1]
The normal operation of the hydraulic oil system IS indicated m Schematic Piping
Diagram N° SOM 5081322/1, sheet 6/7.
When the hydraulic oil pump driven by accessory gear box reaches the 1500 RPM it
guarantees the oil pressure and flow amount during gas turbine operation.

2.6 Lube oil separator
Valves position (opened/closed) for initial start-up and normal operation of oil vapor
separator is indicated in Schematic Piping Diagram N° SOM 5081322/1, sheet 5/6.
Prior to starting the GT operator selects "Auto" control in MCC for [88QV-1] lube oil
vapor separator.
The lube oil vapor separator fan [88QV-1] will be started at turbine start-up and will
continue to operate up to the end of cooldown sequence.
The fan will be started also in case of pressure detected in the lube oil header after
cooldown end.

2. 7 Fuel gas system
Prior to first gas-in, fuel gas system will be leak tested at normal operating pressure
afterwards followed by fuel gas system inerting using nitrogen (filling and purging until
oxygen content at point of supply to stop I ratio valve drops below 2% ).
Required fuel gas supply pressure at point of supply to Turbogenerator is 1800 kPa for
normal running, minimum 1740 kPa, maximum 2000 kPa
A "Fuel gas pressure low" alarm is given in the Mark VI software by the [63FG-1]
pressure switch, when gas pressure drops to 1740 kPa.
Required fuel gas temperature for normal running at point of supply to Turbogenerator is:
minimum l0°C, above dew point (low temperature case) but not more than 130°C.
Valves position (opened/closed) for initial start-up and normal operation of package fuel

2.9 Ventilation & gas detection system
The gas turbine compartment is equipped with 2xl00% duty/standby ventilation fans
[88BA-l and 88BA-2].
Before proceeding to first start up of ventilation system operator ensures that all fire
dampers for ventilation air inlet and outlet are opened. Operation with fire dampers
closed is not allowed.
The GT compartment ventilation fans are designed for continuous operation but are not
operated after the gas turbine package is shut down and cooldown timer has elapsed.
Prior to start the gas turbine, the operator selects: "Main/Duty" for [88BA-l] turbine
enclosure ventilation fan and "Standby" for [88BA-2] turbine enclosure ventilation fan, in
Mark VI software, and "Auto" control in MCC for [88BA-l and 88BA-2].
When unit start is selected, the duty fan is started automatically.
After the activation of "MASTER PROTECTIVE SIGNAL" the fan is not stopped any
more until the end of cooldown, unless emergency conditions such as frre dampers closed
or frre detected in the enclosure: in these cases all fans shall immediately be cut out.
Fans inhibition for frre dampers closed is not latched and once the dampers are open
again the fans are no more prevented to run.
If there are conditions as "Compartment temperature high" or "Gas detected inside

enclosure", the stand by fan automatically starts. If normal conditions are restored, the
duty fan can be stopped manually from the HMI or from MCC according to the
duty/standby philosophy.
During normal GT operation, the operator is never allowed to manually stop the duty fan.
The operator is normally allowed to manually start and stop the standby fan, unless it is
prevented to run or required on by the control logic.
The operator is allowed to initiate any time a duty/standby changeover: the selection is
performed by means of the MK VI <HMI> operator interface software pushbutton.
Valves position (opened/closed) and instruments condition for initial start-up and normal
operation of ventilation system is indicated in Schematic Piping Diagram N° SOM

2.11 GT Fire detection & fighting system
operation of fire fighting system is indicated in Schematic Piping Diagram N° SOM
5081322/1, sheet 16/17.
The bank of C02 bottles is operated by the Turbine Control System.
The condition "ready to start" will be given by the limit switches [33CP-112A, 33CP-
112B] positioned on the quick and slow discharge valves installed on the C02 line to the
turbine enclosure.
In case of fire the sensors installed on the accessory compartment [45FA-1+45FA-4 fire
detectors]; on the turbine compartment [45FT-I+ 45FT-4 fire detectors] send fire signals
to UCP and this one generate a C02 discharge command.
There are in the system two discharge solenoid valves operating the different groups of
C02 bottles (for quick discharge and for slow discharge). When the fire is detected the
valves [45CR-1/2] are energized opening the quick discharge group and consequently
also the slow discharge flow.
When is detected the fire signal are activated two alarms signal on the acoustic enclosure,
through the horns [X4-J+2] as acoustic signal and through the flashing lights [XL-1+2]
as a visual signal.
The UCP fire fighting system is provided with two "Fire fighting auto-inhibit switch"
[33CP-JA and 33CP-JB] to inhibit the discharge phase of C02 and two [33CP-2A and
33CP-2B]for permission to start-up. Every inhibit signals from the fire fighting system
send an alarm to the UCP inhibiting the turbine start-up.
The start-up of the turbine will be also inhibited when the signal "System fault" (66XX-
A/B) send an alarm to the UCP.
The "Discharge inhibition" on the fire fighting system is signaled by a green lamp,
lighted with the system in AUTO mode and with a amber light when the discharge is
inhibited. But the inhibition is actuated for C02 discharge only, while the detection
modules with the relevant indications are operating.

3.3 GAS TURBINE STARTUP & OPERATION
3.3.1 Introduction
This manual provides information needed by an operator to start and operate the power
generation units. This document describes the mode of operation, which are defmed to
be:
• OFF
• CRANK
• FIRE
• MANUAL
• AUTO
• REMOTE
3.3.2 References
Reference shall be made to the Functional Description SOM6667935/4, Piping &

Instrument Diagram SOM5081322/1 and Instruments list SOM6608356/3.
3.3.3 General
The GT Unit Control Panel is equipped with two HMI: one (local) in the Unit Control
Building, for controlling purposes, and the other (remote) in the Main Control Room for
monitoring purposes, as normal options.
Once the main HMI fails, the controlling functionality of the second HMI is enabled and
the operator can continue to control the unit.
3.3.4 Modes of operation and sequences
There are six operating modes varying from no start acceptance to full automatic start.
Only one mode can be active selecting one mode (position) of MASTER SELECTOR
means disabling all the other modes.
N.P. Job: 170.5593+95

The mode selection can be performed at the local MKVI HMI (PC operator interface)
and at the operator back-up panel mounted in the front of the Mark VI panel, or, if the
Main selector is placed on Remote, by putting into action the signal Remote Start-up
from the DCS. The back-up feature is required to give the operator the ability to control
the unit (basic function as START, STOP) in case of a failure of the MKVI HMI or loss
of customer UPS power supply. The standard modes OFF, CRANK, FIRE, MANUAL,
AUTO and REMOTE are described below.
Mode selection can be used to bring in some hold points in the start sequence and to
monitor the process at these stages.
a) OffMode
When the OFF Mode is selected, the UCP does not accept the START command, and is
thus not possible to start-up the machine. All other functions remain active.
Auxiliaries' manual control is possible, if the relevant safeties are satisfied.
It shall not be possible to select and initiate the OFF Mode when the Turbogenerator
train is running or the COOLDOWN sequence is still in progress.
OFF Mode may be selected and initiated at any other time.
b) Crank Mode
CRANK sequence may only be selected after the gas turbine has stopped rotating.
Starting the turbine with this selection is possible if the unit start permissive is satisfied.
Starting the turbine with this selection will bring the shaft up to crank/purge speed value
of20% (14HM).
Sequence will precede changing Master Selector position to FIRE, MANUAL, AUTO,
or REMOTE position. The shaft will continue to rotate at 20% of speed value until the
operator initiates a normal STOP, changes the Master Selector position or a shutdown
occurs. Gas turbine shaft can remain at his speed indefmitely if the operator will not
select another command.
For OFF-LINE WATER WASH the selection of CRANK mode is mandatory, and as
long as the wash cycle is enabled the CRANK mode will be locked.
N.P. Job: 170.5593+95
MOD. INPRISV/UP.F. 12/00

c) FireMode
This mode of operation shall primarily be used to verify that the GT start sequence
functions properly.
Once the start permissive listed in section C.5 item C.5.a are valid/healthy, the operator
may initiate start.
Sequence steps C.5.b to C.5.t are executed, and the turbine will continue to run at warm-
up speed, unless the operator selects another operation mode or initiates a normal stop or
shutdown.
By subsequently selecting MANUAL, AUTO or REMOTE Mode, sequence steps C.5.u

to C.5.z are executed to accelerate the shaft of the turbine to the preselected speed.
d) Manual Mode
In the MANUAL Mode a start signal will result in an automatic start-up and loading to
the minimum operating speed, then the shaft speed is controlled by raise and lower
commands on HMI.
e) AutoMode
In the AUTO Mode a start signal will result in an automatic start-up and loading to the
selected value, an external signal from DCS is taken as shaft speed set point.
f) Remote Mode
In REMOTE Mode position, the set point of load may be varied from outside through the
commands from DCS. The increase and decrease variation speed of the turbine shaft
depends on the value imposed by the automatic ramp and can be modified through the
Operator Interface.
3.3.5 Start-up sequence- AUTO I REMOTE mode

AUTO or REMOTE Mode enables initiation of the complete start sequence, up to the
pre-selected speed of turbine shaft.
a) Prior to start-up permissive must be confirmed; these will include:

N.P. Job: 170.5593+95

f) "UNIT READY TO START" condition is achieved and if no shutdown condition is

present (the "MASTER PROTECTIVE RELAY (4x)" is still activated), the MK VI logic
will give the command to start the starting motor.
g) The motor starts (4CR) is energized
h) The turbine will accelerate up to crank speed (20% of shaft speed value- 14HM).
i) Start the turbine purge phase (approximately 2 minutes, to be configured in field) to
purge the turbine, combustion air inlet and exhaust systems, and wait for purge

j) Open the fuel gas vent valve [20VG-J] and when the fuel gas temperature reaches the set
threshold, the fuel gas vent valve [20VG-1] will be closed.
k) Completed the purge time, is energized the ignition (L2TVX).
1) MKVI will check for excessive fuel flow, if that condition is detected a trip is initiated.
m) Allow a maximum of 1 minute for light off; activate "fail to ignite alarm" if flame is not
detected within 2 minutes and continue to rotate at crank speed.
n) When the presence of flame is detected lube oil vapor separator motor [88QV-1] are
automatically started.
o) The fuel amount is reduced and the warm-up timer is started
p) At the end of warm-up period (1 minute), the torque converter raises output torque unless
"Fire mode" is selected; in this case the turbine shaft will continue to rotate at warm-up,
more than 20% speed.
q) The torque converter is accelerated and fuel is increased to reach the minimum operating
speed; during the acceleration sequence, when the turbine shaft reaches the 60% speed
(14HC), the clutch will automatically disconnected. The starting system decelerating up
to minimum speed, the starting system is stopped five minutes later (cooling time).
r) At 90% speed of the shaft (14HSX), minimum operative speed, the lube oil auxiliary
pump [88QA-1] - (4QA) will receive a command to stop. The generator excitation is
enabled.
s) When the turbine shaft reaches 95% of speed (14HS-1) will be closed the axial
compressor bleed valve and the complete sequence flag will be set.
t) After completing the Start up sequence, are enabled the speed set-point variation and the
turbine is ready to synchronize.
N.P. Job: 170.5593+95
3.3.6 Activities on Generator

The following operating activities are only suggested, the real values to operate are to be
taken by the Generator Manual by the Supplier that remains the first documents to be
consulted:
Reached the complete sequence of the turbine shaft, and before synchronizing the
Generator with the network, it will be possible to perform the Generator checks, as
follows:
a) Short circuit checking at Generator terminals.
b) After exciting the Generator at required current, check the stator current measuring
circuits.
c) Check, for each protection branch, the differential current protection, following the
supplier's indication, noting the trip value.
d) Check the unbalance protection increasing the stator current and noting the trip
value.
e) Check the rotor earth protection increasing the current excitation at the required
value.
f) Test of overload protection
g) After the no load test check the Min. and Max. voltage protections.
h) With Generator at the rated voltage, check the frequency protection.
i) Testing of the power protection (power return, excitation loss, etc.).
j) Before proceeding with the synchronization check:
- the synchronoscope 0,
- the differential voltage 0,
- the frequency at the coupling switch closing on an out of voltage network.
3.3. 7 Synchronization sequences
At minimum operating speed excitation control will be enabled. The Mark VI checks the
synchronization permissive conditions and the speed reference is set at 100.3%. When
100.3% is reached "Unit ready to synchronize" is displayed.
The operator has the opportunity to select in the Mark VI<HMI> "Synchronization Mode
Selector" the following mode: off, manual, automatic or dead bus.
N.P. Job: 170.5593+95
MOD. INPRJSV/U P.F. 12100

a) Offmode
Disable all the Mark VI synchronizing functions.
b) Manual mode
The synchronization will be made in manual mode. The panel will send the raise/lower
commands signals to excitation panel for the voltage regulation. When the unit is
synchronized, the operator will close the breaker from the HMI.
c) Automode
The Mark VI will adjust the speed the speed and voltage, and will issue the command for
breaker closure when unit is synchronized.
d) Dead bus mode

For this mode, the breaker is closed before to close contactor on ECP. This will avoid
high inrush current due to energization of transformer.
As soon as the breaker is closed, the closing command to excitation contactor on ECP is
given and the generator rise on voltage and energize transformers. Once the rated voltage
is reached the UCP can start to load the machine.
N.P. Job: 170.5593+95
3.3.8 Load control

Droop or isochronous control is selected on HMI.
Droop mode
When the Turbogenerator unit is connected in parallel to the main grid, the system
frequency is determinated by the grid itself and is maintained constant. The excess of
fuel flow does not result in speed variation, but in augmentation of power exported to the
grid.
The operator can enter a certain MW value as a load control constant. When preselected
load is selected the unit will automatically load or unload till the required value.
The selected mode of control (spinning reserve, preselected) will be reset to manual
control when the operator uses the raise/lower commands on HM1 or when the governor
control is transferred from droop to isochronous.
The VAR control is based upon the use of voltage raise and lower signals to ECP.
Isochronous
The unit is controlled to maintain a constant speed, regardless of the grid load request
and regardless of the supplier power. When the unit is in this mode, it is not possible to
set a supplied power set point.
