Emergency Instructions for

Total Power failure

The intent of the instructions is to ensure safe coasting down of all equipments and also to ensure
its healthiness till the normal power supply is restored.

General:

Total Power Failure

1. Total power failure can take place only when

a. The outgoing 110KV lines (both) trip on line protections (either at our end or at
Gummudipoondi
S.S)

b. Tripping of station Transformer

c. Islanding at Gummudipoondi which in turn may lead to tripping of Generator on under

frequency etc.

2. Total power failure will be indicated by both bus voltages (110 KV) at control room becoming
Zero
and the unit has tripped

3. During the grid failure, the following operations are to be dealt with

a. Starting of DC – Lub oil pump if it fails to come on auto

b. Starting of DC – APH – motor if it fails to come on auto

c. Starting of DC – Scanner fan if it fails to come on auto

d. Starting of DG set if it fails to come on auto

e. After starting of DG set, charging of Emergency bus

f. Switching on A/C. Emergency lights if they do not come on auto

g. Starting Turning gear oil pump and then the turning gear motor after Turbine Rotor comes to
rest

h. Turbine / Boiler side operations

i. Switch yard side operation

Role of shift charge engineers / Unit controllers

1. SCE / U.C to be immediately available at control room

2. Coordinating the running of emergency auxiliaries

3. Coordinate from Gummidipoondi – Sub station regarding start up power availability.

4. Once the power is restored, line up cooling water system, Inst. Air supply etc. in the order of
requirement and proceed to light up if TNEB has given clearance for unit synchronization.

NOTE:

1. All site operations are to be done as per instructions of SCE/UC/Desk Engineers as the case
may
be.

2. Whenever total power failure takes place, Electrical maintenance engineer should reach the
control
room to assist the shift staff.

3. Turbine / Boiler / C&I Area maint. Engineers also to reach the control room for any assistance
required.

4. After safe coasting down, equipments are to be monitored as per normal operating instructions.
