1. INTRODUCTION
This document covers the requirements for the detailed procedure of the electrical start-up / re-
starts for the FPU BW Joko Tole.

1.1 DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this document, the following definitions apply:

Dead-ship or Black-out
Dead-ship Start-up
Black-out Re-start
A Dead-ship or Black-out refers to the total power outage on the
facility. Cause for total power outage can be attributed to failure of
any component such as protection relay trip, activation of ESD 1 or
ESD 2 , etc. (Black-out) or activation of AVS or ESD 0 (Dead-
ship) in the facility. The main difference between Black-out and
Dead-ship is that during Black-out the UPS System is still available
while it is not during a Dead-ship.
When AVS or ESD 0 is initiated, the facility will be in total power
outage including the UPS System. Re-instating the electrical
system shall follow a dedicated procedure termed as Dead-ship
Start-up to allow the safe re-start of electrical supply. All start-up
procedures shall be manually initiated.
In case of the power outage other than AVS or ESD 0, the
electrical UPS System is still available for the immediate
resumption of electrical supply. Start-up operation shall be
generally initiated automatically through the PMS, assisted by
Operation personnel in case auto function fails.

Competency requirements….

2 SCOPE
The procedure will cover starting-up of the Power Generation, Power Distribution and bringing the
plant operation back in Normal Mode in a safe and logical manner, following a vessel wide total
power outage. The steps and sequences cover but not limited to the following activities:
 Manual/Auto start of the Emergency Power Generation and Distribution System
 Manual/Auto start of the Essential Power Generation and Distribution System.
 Manual start of the Steam Turbine Generators
 Transfer of load from EDG to DG and DG to STG

3 GENERAL
In general terms, the Power Generation and Distribution systems of FPU BW Joko Tole shall be
re-started by use of the following diesel-driven generators:
 84-EG-5001 -250kW/312kVA 440V, 3-ph, 60Hz Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG)
 82-EG-5501A -910kW/1138kVA 440V, 3-ph, 60Hz Essential Diesel Generator No. 1
(DG-1)
 82-EG-5501B -910kW/1138kVA 440V, 3-ph, 60Hz Essential Diesel Generator No. 2
(DG-2)
The steps pre-requisites detailed in Section 1.3the attached checklist are to be followed to restart
power generation onboard. are taken into account prior to re-start in order to fulfil the
requirements of this procedure.
Essentially, a Black-out Re-start shall use the ship’s stand-by diesel generators (EDG and DGs)
to provide power to emergency and essential consumers sufficient to maintain the normal
requirements for safe habitation on board the FPU and to allow the Boiler and STG auxiliary

Page 4 of 16
Dead Ship Start-up and Blackout Restart Procedures for

Doc. no: DOCID

equipment to be made available in order to re-start one of the Main Steam Turbine Generators.
Upon restoration of ‘Normal mode of supply’ (MV system), the stand-by diesel generators will be
returned to ‘auto / stand-by mode’. Operation, control and switching of the MV/LV electrical
distribution network, including the Essential Diesel Generators will be carried out through the
PMS. The operation, control and switching of the Emergency Switchboard and Emergency Diesel
Generator will be carried out by the stand alone control system within the Emergency
Switchboard, however, transfer of load from the Emergency Generator back to normal supply is a
manual operation in full controlled manner.

4 STARTING METHODS AND AUXILIARIES REQUIRED FOR

GENERATORS
Dead-Ship Start Up: During initial start-up (Dead-Ship or after AVS/ESD 0), Emergency and both
Essential (x2) Diesel Generators will be started manually from their respective local control
panels and manually closed onto their respective Switchboards in ‘Island Mode’. Ultimately, this
shall lead to the firing of a Steam Boiler and the starting of a Steam Turbine Generator, in order to
bring the facility up to the normal operating condition. Once all stand-by Diesel Generators (DGs
and EDG) have been stopped, they must be returned to ‘Auto Stand-by Mode’.
Black-Out Restart: For a Black-out restart, all stand-by Diesel Generators will start automatically
and supply their respective Switchboards in ‘Island Mode’. Ultimately, this shall lead to the firing
of a Steam Boilers and the starting of a Steam Turbine Generator, in order to bring the facility up
to the normal operating condition.
Emergency Generator: Upon detection of Under Voltage on the Emergency Switchboard (ESB)
via the proprietary Under Voltage relay, the EDG will automatically start and connect to the ESB
upon ‘Dead-Bus’ condition and stabilize the power supply to 440 V / 60 Hz.
Essential Generators: The Black-out restart sequence for the Essential Diesel Generators
(DGs) will be initiated through the PMS, where upon detection of “Under Voltage” and “Under
Frequency” on the New Essential Switchboard (NESB), both DGs will be started sequentially, by
the PMS. When selected for ‘Auto-Synchronize’ the closing of the respective DG Circuit Breaker
will be initiated via each Automatic Synchronizer relay. The DGs shall be connected to the NESB
and stabilize the power supply to 440 V / 60 Hz.
In both starting methods (‘Dead-Ship’ and ‘Black-Out restart’ the stand-by diesel generators will
be operated in ‘island mode’ where the Emergency Generator supply shall be limited to the ESB
and the Essential Generators supply shall be limited to the NESB. The two switchboards (ESB
and NESB) shall be operating in ‘Island Mode’ until such time that the EDG has been
synchronized with the NESB. Upon successful load transfer to the NESB from the EDG to the
DGs, the EDG circuit breaker must be opened immediately or it will automatically open after 30
seconds to avoid the EDG and DGs from running in parallel for prolonged periods, as per Class
requirements.
The next sequence will be starting the auxiliaries, required for the firing of a Steam Boiler. When
normal steam pressure and temperature are stable, one Steam Turbine Generator (STG) will be
started and ‘Dead Bus’ closed onto the 6.6 kV Main Switchboard at rated voltage and frequency.
After successful energized of the 6.6 kV Main SWBD, the DGs will be synchronized through the
secondary breaker of Essential Transformer (80-ET-5501) for transfer of loads. The PMS shall
inhibit the other STG from coming on-line during this load transfer operation. A successful
transfer of load to the operating STG from the operating DGs shall initiate proper disconnection
and shutdown of the running DGs by the PMS.

4.1 EMERGENCY GENERATOR (84-EG-5001)

The Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) is equipped with a dedicated local control panel (84-EC-
5001) for monitoring and auto-start functions.

Page 5 of 16
Dead Ship Start-up and Blackout Restart Procedures for
BW Joko Tole
Doc. no: DOCID

A synchroscope (CSQ-3) is provided at the ESB for paralleling the EDG to New Essential SWBD
during load transfer as well as during regular maintenance routines and testing. Paralleling is
done manually at the ESB and for a short time only.
For starting reliability, the EDG is provided with 2x24Vdc Battery Banks charged by two (2)
dedicated Battery Chargers which are also located in the Emergency Generator Room.
As per Classification requirement, under normal operating conditions, the Emergency Generator
will auto start on detection loss off power/ no voltage at ESB Bus 84-EN-5001, provided that the
EDG is in Auto mode and AVS/ESD 0 has not been activated. If the EDG auto-start fails, it will be
started manually and controlled from its local control panel.
The minimum requirements for starting the EDG are given below.
1 Sufficient fuel in the Emergency Generator Day Tank.
2 Sufficient Lube oil and Coolant level.
3 Battery banks fully charged.
4 Supply air damper to Emergency Generator Room must be open.
For detailed procedure for the safe starting of the EDG, refer to vendor’s operating manual.
After ESB is powered, it is the duty of the operator to ensure that UPS-A and UPS-B are in
normal operating mode and to ensure that the ICSS and all critical / emergency systems are
powered up and operational.

4.2 ESSENTIAL DIESEL GENERATORS (82-EG-5501A and 82-EG-5501B)

The DG is electronically controlled and monitored by an electronic monitoring system A4 ECM. A
fully redundant 24Vdc supply is provided for the DGs control and monitoring system which consist
of a 24Vdc Battery Bank/Battery Charger and an internal 24Vdc supplied by a 220Vac UPS. Each
DG is provided with an air starting motor for starting the diesel engine.
A synchronizer relay is provided at the New Essential SWBD (NESB) for each essential generator
for auto-synchronizing the unit to the bus bar voltage of the New Essential SWBD 82-EN-5501.
When selected to Manual-Local-Remote, synchronizing is carried out by a Check Synchronizing
Relay (CSQ-3) within the Generator Synchronizing Panel. A load sharing module (Woodward
LSM) is also provided for each DG for automatic load sharing paralleled together in ‘Island Mode’.
The DGs are started by compressed air, which is supplied from main air reservoir No 1, 63-VL-
0001. Main air reservoir No 2 is interconnected with Main air reservoir No. 1. Four (4) main air
compressors 63-KB-0001 A, B & 63-KC-0500A, B charge the Main Air Reservoirs. Main air
reservoirs are fully charged at 30 barg. A dedicated Emergency Air Reservoir 63-VL-0004 is also
provided in case facility compressed air is not available. If necessary, the emergency air
reservoir could be charged by a diesel-engine driven emergency air compressor 63-KB-0002 to
30 barg before starting the DG’s.

5.4 START STEAM TURBINE GENERATORS 80-EG-9000 and 80-EG-9100 (Manual-

Start) AND POWER-UP PROCESS LOADS
Prior to starting the Steam Turbine Generator confirm all preparations on the 6.6kV Main
Switchboard are complete sufficient to receive voltage/power (i.e. initially racking-in VCB into
‘SERVICE’ position - STG-A (80-EG-9000) at 80-EH-5001A, Cubicle 9.). This decreases the risk
of a potential ‘flash-over’ by minimizing the amount of ‘intrusive’ activities on a potentially live
system and thus ensures increased safety for personnel.
E&I Supv/Electrician is to carryout pre-check of all circuit breaker status/alarms prior to starting
STG.
The Turbine Generators onboard the FPU shall be started following manufacturers
design/recommended starting procedure. The following procedure (assuming STG-A shall be
started) shall be implemented in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating manual.Verify the
minimum requirements in Section 4.3 have been established.

7 OTHER STARTING PROCEDURES

7.1 BASIC PROCEDURE FOR STARTING THE BOILER SYSTEM
The following are basic steps that must be followed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommended procedures (MB902923-800 / 4059-FD-00206699) for starting with reference to
STARBOARD Boiler, 55-FB-8101 (Applicable also for PORT Boiler, 55-FB-8201):
1. Ensure that the vent valve on the boiler (55-FB-8101) is open and check there is no pressure
in the boiler.
2. Check that the steam stop valve (55-GB-8134) is closed.
3. Check that all the valves for fuel are open and let the fuel circulate through the system (refer
to doc. nos. 4059-XB-00191528.001/00191648.001) until it comes to the required
temperature (MDO: ambient / Fuel Gas: 30~40°C).
4. Check and open the feed water valves (55-GB-8131 & 55-GB-8132) to the boiler and fill the
water inside the boiler drum to just above the low water level. This is done because it is not
possible to start the boiler below the low water level due to safety feature which prevent boiler
from starting. Also, the level is not filled much because if filled too much, the water inside the
boiler might expand and over pressurize the boiler.
5. Start the boiler in automatic mode. The Combustion Air Fan (67-KE-8201) will start the
purging cycle which will remove any gases present in the furnace by forcing it out through the
funnel.
6. After the pre-set purge time (not less than 5 minutes) the pilot burner (55-IG-8101) will ignite.
The pilot burner consists of two electrodes, through which a large current is passed, via a
high-voltage step-up transformer, producing the spark between the electrodes. The pilot
burner will ignite on a pre-selected fuel (either MDO or Fuel Gas or both).

7. The main burner which is supplied by a pre-selected fuel catches fire with the help of pilot
burner after which the Boiler will operate automatically according to the selected mode of
operation.
8. Check the combustion chamber from the sight glass (as well as in the Boiler Control System
screen) to ensure the burner has lit and the flame is satisfactory.
9. Keep a close eye on the water level (55-LT-8101/8102) as the pressure increases and open
the feed water when the level of water inside the gauge glass is stable.
10. Close the vent valve after the steam starts coming outside.
11. Open the steam stop valve (55-GB-8134).
12. Once the working steam pressure is reached, blow down the gauge glass and float chambers
to check for the alarms.

7.2 ENERGIZATION OF 80-ET-4001A/B and 82-EN-4001A/B NORMAL

SWITCHBOARDS
1. At 82-EN-4001A/B 440 V Normal Switchboard, confirm all ACB’s are in the ‘OPEN’ position
(including the Bus-tie and the Tie Feeder Breaker to the New Essential SWBD).
2. Close 80-EH-5001A-cub.7 – Out-going Feeder to Transformer 80-ET-4001A. Confirm
energizing of the Transformer by monitoring correct secondary bus voltage on the PMS
graphic.
3. Close 80-EH-5001B-cub.14 – Out-going Feeder to Transformer 80-ET-4001B. Confirm
energizing of the Transformer by monitoring correct secondary bus voltage on the PMS
graphic.
4. Close 82-EN-4001A-S7-1 via the PMS, Confirm INC.1 closes by verifying the change in state
on the PMS graphic and monitoring the bus-volts.
5. Close 82-EN-4001B-S9-1 via the PMS, Confirm INC.2 closes by verifying the change in state
on the PMS graphic and monitoring the bus-volts.

The 440Vac Normal Switchboards 82-EN-4001A/B are now independently available. Normal
consumers for the Process Systems can be started.

8 SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1 Standby Personnel
In the event of a power system outage and where intervention from the ICSS is not immediately
available, it is recommended that Operations EIT personnel shall be on stand-by to provide
additional support in order prevent prolonged delays to the re-starting of equipment.
8.2 Purge Sequence for running Fuel Gas Compressors
The Fuel Gas Compressors are equipped with a ‘Thermal Lock-out’ protection scheme which
when activated will prevent the machines from being re-started for 4-hours unless the Purge
sequence is initiated. If not available within the ICSS, this function shall be manually activated.
8.3 Black-out /Dead-ship Restart with only one DG available
This scenario is foreseen when one of the two DGs is under maintenance. The largest motor to
be started during the restart is the 150kW Boiler Combustion Air Fan. The starting of this motor
was simulated with all possible non-essential loads shedded but the voltage dip (22%) during
starting exceeds the Class requirement of 20% or less.
To make this scenario possible, soft-starter was provided for each of the two Boiler Combustion
Air Fans (67-KE-8101 and 67-KE-8201). With soft-starter, simulation shows that voltage dip
during starting was less than 18%. The simulation was done using ETAP Electrical Engineering
Software version 7.5.0C.
