H) HP Bypass System
Introduction
The HP Bypass system allows Main Steam (MS )to flow from MS line to
CRH ( Cold Reheat )line during start ups, shut downs and load- throw off
conditions. As the steam by passes the normal path of HP Turbine, this system is
defined as HP by pass system. There are two Bypass valves, BP-5&BP-6; two
spray valves BPE-1 &BPE-2 and a spray water isolation valve BD valve. The
functions of HP Bypass Valves are to reduce the Main Steam parameters to CRH
conditions before admitting in to the CRH path. The water source for spray is
from BFP discharge and EBFP. BP-5 & 6 regulates the pressure based on set
values and BPE 1&2 regulates the spray flow based on the downstream
temperature set value.
HP BP Operation
Ensure that the HP Bypass warm up lines (BP-102,104) are open to AFT.
HPBP valves are opened, 5 % on each side, at a Main steam pressure of about
15 Ksc. (Initially put the valves in auto and again take back into manual mode
for the HPBP valves to open.) RH air vents are kept opened till LPBP is ready and
sufficient vacuum is available. Gradually open BP-5&6, according to the firing in
the boiler, till rolling parameters are achieved. Whenever there is an increase of
firing in boiler, the HP Bypass will further open on AUTO to accommodate the
firing and to maintain pressure. Ensure HPBP opening is sufficient for rolling and
a minimum block load of 5 MW thereafter, after reaching the parameters.
Page 42 of 79
either LP Bypass system is in service or RH Start vent valves are in open
condition.
In case of TG trip, the HP Bypass has to be kept in service (it has to come in
auto), in order to avoid starvation of RH coils which are immersed in FBHE bed.
Also it is better to save and keep boiler in service when TG trips, by reducing the
lignite flow to 60% of TGMCR values, preferably at 30% TGMCR to avoid
overloading/wastage of fuel. This may help in reducing the period of safety valve
opening.
NOTE:
1. The Drum level control and HP Bypass operation are inter related. In case
of fast opening of HP bypass (due to variation in firing rate etc.), the
Drum level may increase and may lead to opening of EBD valves. Similarly
in case of fast closing also (due to variation in firing rate etc.), the Drum
level may drop in fast manner and may lead to emergencies. The smooth
operation of bypass valves will ensure normal Drum level. For overcoming
this problem, smooth coordination between Drum level control and HP
Bypass operation Board Engineers is essential. Also, firing variations may
be done in gradual manner, for smooth operation of HP Bypass. Normally
these problems will occur during start up/trip condition.
2. During boiler trip/blackout/forced cooling, the permissible steam pressure
drop gradient is 0.25 bar/minute. The HP Bypass opening shall be limited
to the above rate.
3. In case of one HP or one LP bypass is available during start up/trip
condition, the firing rate has to be adjusted to about 30%TGMCR, to avoid
over loading of the system.
HPBP valves trip closes if downstream temperatures goes beyond 370 °C.
Page 43 of 79
BD & BPE Open if BP opening is > 2 %. BP 5&6 opens only if the controller
output is > 2 %.
HPBP valves Fast Open for duration of 3 sec during the following
conditions:-
o Turbine trip
o Generator Circuit Breaker Opens ( GCB )
o Load Shedding Relay Acted ( LSR )
o RH Protection Trip acted
o Pressure deviation High ( > 8 Ksc )
o Manual Push button Operated ( HMI or DCS )
o SG cool down acted
Once the valve is fully opened in about 3 sec the fast opening signals will
be cut off by the timer set at 4 sec. The control is now shifted to pressure
control set point.
o Boiler Protection-1 will act, in case of Turbine trip & both HP BP <
2% Main steam pressure before bypass > 40 KSc and combustor
lower temperature > 450 ° C for 4 sec.
Oil Level (dip stick) in tank, opening of all valves in the Supply lines (P
line) and return lines (T line) , Power supply and local latch release for the pump
motors are to be ensured before taking HPBP System into service. Pumps start
at low press (120 ksc), and trips at high press (160 ksc). Oil press too low (90
ksc) and too high (180 ksc) indications and pump status are available in DCS.
Running / Idle timings of both the OSU pumps are to be monitored every
shift and the same has to be recorded in Turbine Log Book.
J) LP Bypass System
Introduction
The LP Bypass system allows Steam to flow from HRH line to condenser during
start ups, shut downs and load- throw off conditions. As the steam by passes the
Page 44 of 79
normal path of IP /LP Turbine, this system is defined as LP by pass system. The
LP Bypass system has a combined capacity to bypass 60 % MCR. The functions
of LP Bypass Valves are to reduce the HRH Steam parameters to condenser
conditions before admitting in to the condenser. The water source for spray is
from CEP discharge.
There are two LPBP Stop valves and Control valves for relieving HRH Steam into
Condenser. Control Oil (COP discharge) is used for LPBP Valves actuation. LPBP
Controller has auto / manual provisions in the DCS. The LP Bypass valves are
located in 5ML, condenser front side near A row.
1. Function
LPBP Controller gets its Pressure Set Point from the Fixed/Variable Set points
(MAX Gate Output) and the actual value of HRH Line pressure.
Page 45 of 79
NOTE:
1. While opening LP Bypass during Light up, care should be taken to see that
condenser vacuum is not disturbed, as RH Vents are in open condition.
2. HP Bypass operation & LP Bypass operation are independent.
ACI, when switched on Set Point matching is done when Boiler “Fire-On”
is available. Set Point is given +3 Ksc at starting. On pressure increase beyond
this value, LP B/P Valves open to a constant position of 25 %. Thereafter set
point is matched with actual till 6.0 Ksc and there after it is switched off. After
valve opens to 50 %, set point matching is also switched off.
5. LP BYPASS OPERATION
LP Bypass is used during startup, rolling, TG trip and boiler in service condition
to ensure the steam flow from RH coil to condenser. The CEP discharge water is
used for spray in LP Bypass to control the temperature.
When LP Bypass is in service without TG, the firing in the boiler has to be below
60% of TGMCR, preferably at 30% of TGMCR, to avoid overloading of the
system/wastage of the fuel.
In case LP Bypass is not available when boiler in HP-LP circuit, the RH start up
vent has to be opened to keep the boiler in service by reducing the firing to
minimum safe level. However, the period is limited due to drop in hot
well/Deaerator level.

K) ELECTRO HYDRUALIC TURBINE CONTROL
1. Introduction
The Speed or Load on the machine is controlled by means of EHTC which varies
the steam flow through the turbine by adjusting the Control Valve openings.
Electro Hydraulic Actuators (EHAs) associated with each control valve helps to
achieve the large forces required for operation within the shortest period of time.
High pressure oil is supplied by the Control Oil System located in MOT (Main Oil
Tank) room.
EHTC consists of three loops namely Speed Control Loop, Load Control Loop and
Pressure Control Loop. Speed Control Loop is used for Rolling and
Synchronizing. Thereafter Load Controller is used to raise the unit load from
12 MW onwards. In Pressure Control mode, MS pressure is maintained
according to the Throttle pressure set point by the Turbine Control Valves, and
therefore the Load output will be proportional to the firing in the Boiler.
EHAs : The type of turbine control system demands the use of modern electro
hydraulic actuators (EHAs) . These actuators receive and process electric signals
exclusively. Hydraulic actuators are employed to generate the large positioning
forces and achieve the short positioning time required. Hydraulic power supply
units supply the necessary high pressure control fluid (approx. 100 bar) to the
actuators. Each power supply unit serves several actuators.
2. EHTC Components:
The controller comprises of four main components:
2. Speed Controller
3. Load Controller
4. Pressure Controller
EHTC helps us to Roll, Synchronize and Load the Turbine. The Loading
gradient is decided by the Turbine Stress Evaluator (TSE). Pressure controller
helps to support the boiler by maintaining the MS (Main Steam) pressure. In
CMC (Co-ordinated Master Control) frequency influence helps to maintain a
Page 47 of 79
healthy grid. Load rejections to House load or part load are controlled. Islanding
operation due to grid faults is possible.
3. TSLLE
It has the tasks of holding and triggering the turbine tripping system, to limit
the control valve position and to Open/Close HP/IP Stop valves.
During Start up the limit signals are at approximately 11, 22, 33 and 44 %
for resetting turbine protections, stop valves, control valves and for opening the
stop valves respectively.
4. Pilot Valve get ‘OFF’ thereby fully opening all the Stop Valves @ 44 %.
During Shut down the above events get triggered in the reverse order at a
slightly reduced limit signal values.
Speed can be set manually within a range of 0 to 3300 rpm from DCS.
The rate of change allowed for Speed set point variation is different in the
zones above and below 2950 rpm. ( ie 0 to 2940 rpm–Fast and 2940 to 3000
rpm – Slow) This helps for a good acceleration in the critical speed ranges and to
Page 48 of 79
fine adjust the speed during synchronizing. An auto synchronizer is available for
synchronizing turbine speed with the grid frequency.
The Speed set point is corrected to “actual speed – STG speed (75
rpm)” during Turbine tripping so that speed set point comes down to zero when
TG shaft reaches STG speed and is kept ready for the next rolling.
When the machine is on load and load controller is active, speed set point
is corrected to “rated speed + aux. power requirement (7.5%)”so that
house load operation is made easy during load rejections.
When TSE is ‘ON’, the available temperature margins decide the Speed
gradient. If TSE is ‘OFF’ or margin is sufficient, then the gradient follows the
built-in values.
OR
2. “GCB OFF AND (Speed set point - actual speed) > 20 rpm”.
Three speed transducers (MYA01CS 14, 15, 16) provide the speed
measurement. Mean value is selected for control purpose.
Automatic set point matching is done for bump less transfer from Speed to Load
or vice versa.
When Load Control (LC) is switched OFF, set point becomes -10 % and
when LC is made ON, load set point is matched with the time delayed speed set
point.
Page 49 of 79
Load set point gets stopped whenever
OR
PRTD: Load gradient is decided by the TSE or Manual setting at DCS. Loading of
the TG with the load controller from zero to the target load, is in line with the
permissible load transients. The permissible load transients are derived from the
temperature margins calculated by the TSE. Fixed transients for loading and
unloading can be set at OWS/DCS by the Board Engineer.
Both these gradients can be kept ON or OFF by the operator. While ‘raising’, a
minimum selection (LL-Lower Limit) is made and while ‘lowering’ a maximum
selection (UL-Upper Limit) is made between the above two gradients. The Load
so derived is the PRTD (Load Reference-Time Delayed)
FREQ INFL: When the Grid frequency increases / decreases from the set
value, typically 50 Hz in the FGMO (Free Governing Mode Of Operation) the
turbine will be unloaded / loaded at a rate (a few MW for every 0.1Hz) decided
by the “Droop characteristics” (System frequency stabilization using a
precise frequency to load characteristics –droop- with provision for primary
frequency control ), so as to up keep the stability of the Grid. This is known as
Frequency Influence.
DELTA PR: When turbine is in Load control and there is an increase / decrease
in Pressure, the opening of the control valve has to be decreased / increased so
as to keep the load a constant. This correction for pressure expressed in terms
of MW is termed as Delta PR (to keep the ‘Load-Vs-Control Output’
characteristics within the range).
SIGMA PR: The mathematical sum of these factors is taken as summated load
or sigma PR.
PR MAX: This is the maximum load that the turbo generator is allowed to
produce under the existing conditions of the Unit at that time (decided by the
board engineer).
Page 50 of 79
During IP mode, load set point tracks the actual load.
During IP mode operation, load set point is raised to a higher value so that the
Pressure controller output is selected at the MIN gate (target load).
Absolute Load Limiter can be manually set by operator from DCS, as the upper
load set point limit.
OR
OR
A common regulator receives and processes speed and load error signals. This
also has a frequency component whose influence can be made ON/OFF from
DCS.
In Load Control Mode, Load set point is set at the turbine end and Boiler firing
system is in auto to maintain the system pressure. Hence this mode is also
known as Boiler follow mode, since the Boiler follows the value (ie Load) set at
the turbine side.
Whenever Pressure control or TSLLE controls the Turbine, the upper limit of
speed/load controller tracks a value 2% higher than the position set point. This
is to ensure that in case of a fault/problem with the IP Mode/Pressure Control,
the next mode of control ie Speed/Load Control takes over in a smooth and
bump less way.
Page 51 of 79
5. MS PRESSURE REGULATION:
I. LP Mode:
Here, the controller will keep the load steady even when there is a change
in pressure, till the pressure drop exceeds 6 KSc. Due to decreased firing in
Boiler, if the Pressure drop goes beyond that value, it reduces the Load to keep
the Pressure a constant. The controller starts to function in PC mode from that
point onwards. Now, when the Boiler conditions gets better and the Pressure
starts to improve, 1.The Controller converts it to Load and goes on till the set
Load is reached and 2. Then it increases the Pressure to make it reach the initial
value.
II. IP Mode:
When IP Mode is selected, the above 6 ksc trimming is set to zero. Here
the controller just keeps the Pressure steady, by allowing variations in the Load.
The control valve opening is varied to keep the Throttle Pressure a constant
irrespective of the Load generated.
This mode is also known as Turbine follow mode, as the Turbine Load
follows (by varying the HPCV opening) steam generation by the boiler.
6. CONTROLLER SELECTION
Only one output is selected in a minimum gate and is effective out of the three
Controller outputs viz. Speed/Load Controller, Pressure Controller and TSLLE.
Page 52 of 79
Active Control at any time is displayed in the DCS.
The final controller output is taken for ‘position set point’ of HPCVs. (High
Pressure Control Valves).
IPCV position set point is matched with that of HPCV position set point
after trimming by a characteristic for ‘Start to Open’ and ‘Full Open’ positions
which comes at around 10% and 60% of turbine controller output.
I. Speed Controller:
The Speed Reference (NR) is set from the OWS. The increase in NR from
zero is decided by the available Turbine Stress Evaluator (TSE) Margin,
depending on the Turbine Metal temperatures. The time delayed Speed set point
Page 53 of 79
(NRTD) after applying the TSE gradient is compared with the actual TG Speed (N
act) and the error signal is fed to the Speed controller (A Pressure correction is
also applied here to take care of the pressure deviations). The Speed Controller
or the Load Controller output gets selected at a MAX Gate, and the MAX Gate
output is fed to a MIN Gate along with Pressure Controller output. The final
output of these two gates will decide the Control valve opening.
On selection of ‘Initial pressure mode’, this control loop takes control of the
turbine directly. In ‘Limit Pressure mode’, it acts as a backup loop for the load
control loop and takes control, in case of drop in pressure by a threshold value
of 6 Ksc.
Page 54 of 79
In ‘Turbine follows Boiler’ mode (Initial Pressure Mode), the combustion
controller of Boiler is in manual mode and the changes in the rate of combustion
will be reflected as changes in the steam pressure. In this mode, the pressure
control loop takes control of the turbine directly and main steam pressure is
maintained at the set value by effecting changes in the steam flow rate and
hence the level of power generation. This is achieved by closing/opening the
governing valves.
After Load control becoming active, Speed control goes to ‘Speed tracking’
thereby getting ready for any load shedding occurrence. LP Mode is selected
while the Load control is active, so that pressure loop acts as a backup in case of
low firing in boiler.
IP Mode can be selected by switching it ‘ON’ in DCS after matching the set
point and actual main steam pressures. Load set point can be kept higher than
the actual load so that Load controller output won’t get selected in the minimum
selection. By reducing Load set point below the generated load, load control gets
selected through the minimum gate.

1. INTRODUCTION:
General Concept of CMC is that, the Load Set Point, given in CMC, will
generate Unit Demand by taking the Unit Capability, TSE Margins and
Unit Loading Rate.

(g) Load control in action
(h) Load deviation within limits (unit load sp and load actual within
limits)
(i) Fuel master in auto
(2) Put Boiler master in auto
(3) Ensure pressure Set point and pressure actual error as minimum
(4) Select CMC button in CMC popup
(5) Select CMC in EHTC scheme.
(6) Ensure CMC load SP(Unit load demand) is reaching in EHTC load SP
(7) Now change in load set point is possible only through Unit load set
point in the CMC page.
(8) Slowly ramp up pressure set point to the required pressure

TFM DEMAND TO BOILER MASTER:
I. Feeder’s runback:
Six feeders i.e. three feeders left side and three feeders right side with
load weightage of 25 MW each and 5 feeders are assigned for full load capability.
Any loss of one number feeder from six will not initiates runback, if 5th feeder
trips then run back will be initiated reaming feeder in the left loaded will be
loaded if trip is from left and freezing the demand for right side feeders and vice
versa for right side,
so that temp inside the combustor unaltered. UNIT DEMAND will be ramp
down slowly (depending upon runback rate of equipment or loading /unloading
rate set at CMC desk) to the capability value and CMC mode to TFM mode will be
switched over with auto suspend with a holding time of 20 minutes (till BOILER
and turbine stabilizes due sudden impact of equipment loss), on the turbine desk
LP mode to IP mode will switch over. On stabilization TFM auto will become
active. Now machine can be taken back to CMC and turbine will be switched
back to IP to LP mode.

/unloading rate set at CMC desk) slowly to 75 MW and CMC mode to TFM mode
will be switched over with auto suspend with a holding time of 20 minutes (till
BOILER and turbine stabilizes due sudden impact of equipment loss), on the
turbine desk LP mode to IP mode will switch over. On stabilization TFM auto will
become active. Now machine can be taken back to CMC and turbine should be
switched back to IP to LP mode.

V. CWP Fan runback:
There are three ID fans with left side one and right side one with
weightage of 60 percent capability i.e. 75 MW. On one equipment loss, the
runback will be initiated to capability will reduces to 75 MW. The UNIT DEMAND
will be ramp down (depending upon runback rate of equipment or loading
/unloading rate set at CMC desk) slowly to 75 MW and CMC mode to TFM mode
will be switched over with auto suspend with a holding time of 20 minutes (till
BOILER and turbine stabilizes due sudden impact of equipment loss), on the
turbine desk LP mode to IP mode will switch over. On stabilization TFM auto will
become active. Now machine can be taken back to CMC and turbine should be
switched back to IP to LP mode.
For Boiler Master, Block Increment will occur in the following cases.
For Boiler Master, Block Decrement will occur in the following cases.
