RESETTING THE TURBINE

•Why Turbine Resetting?

When the Turbine trips due to Electrical or Mechanical Protection Trip oil drains quickly. In the absence
of the Trip oil Turbine Stop and Control valvs closes quickly.
So the Trip oil is basically required for keeping the ESVs and IVs in open condition and getting required
Secondary oil pressure for opening the HPCVs and IPCVs.

The Trip oil again can be generated again by Resetting the Turbine.
Now to Reset the Turbine We have to
1.Reset the Unit Or Master Trip Relay.
2.Bring the Starting Device to Zero

The Zero position of starting device generates

a. Start up oil and
b. Aux start up oil.
•Aux start up oil is required to reset Trip gear.
•Start up oil is required for resetting ESVs and IVs. It also ensures that the control vlvs opening are
prevented till ESVs and IVs are opened.

(Unit status before Turbine Rolling

•Turbo-Generator on Burring gear with all Turbo supervisory parameters are normal.
•Boiler is lighted up condition with one or two oil elevations are I/s.
•HP-LP Bypass is in charged condition.
•Boiler load index is 95 to 100 T/Hr.
•Steam parameter are ready for rolling.
M.S. Pr. 35-40 Ksc. HRH Pr. 12-14 Ksc.
M.S. and HRH Tempr. – 320 to 3500C)

Opening of ESVs and IVs

•Before opening of Stop vlvs following drains to be kept opened.

1. MS Strainer drains 2. HRH Strainer drains

3. Seat drain before ESVs 4. Seat drain before IVs.
•TSE selected in Admission mode.
•HP-IP Trim device on.
•Following SLCs of the following equpts are ON
a. Oil p/ps and Turning Gear. b.LP water injection d. HPCV Warm-up control vlvs. e. All drain vlvs.
•The Criteria for MS and HRH Superheat and X1 and X3 are satisfied.

Starting Device to be raised to 42% OBSERVATIONS

•ESV 1& 2 are open.

•HPCV warm up drain vlvs starts opening.

•HPCV Surface and Mid Metal Tempr start showing increasing trends and they should be given proper
time to stabilize.
RAISE STARTING DEVICE TO 56% OBSERVATION
IV1 AND IV2 ARE FULL OPEN
Bring the Turbine to soaking speed.
Before rolling the turbine to soaking speed it is to be ensured
1. TSE to kept on Turbine mode.
2. Criteria curve x4 and x5 for opening the control valves must be satisfied.

EHC should be ready for operation and Speed controller is active.

Tracking Device to be kept “ON”.

(Starting device to be made 70% in case Tracking Device facility is not available).
Hydraulic Governor to be kept bypassed by raising the speeder gear to 100%.

Speed Reference is raised to 600 rpm

OBSERVATION
Gate valve Gearing closes at 240 rpm.
JOP trips at 540 rpm.
Turbine speed stabilizes at 600-650 rpm.
All Turbo supervisory parameters are normal.

Speed raising to 3000rpm Speed is raised to 3000 rpm once the conditions are mentioned below are
fulfilled
TSE is selected on Turbine mode.
TSE upper margin > 400k.
Criteria curve x6 is satisfied.

which ensures the proper warming up of HP Turbine w.r.t. M.S.Temperature.

Speed reference raised to 3000rpm OBSERVATION

Vibration level to be watched at critical speed at 1500 rpm and 2400 r.p.m.
AOP can be taken out at 2850 r.p.m.
All TSI parameters should preferably within normal values.

Turbine to be soaked at 3000 rpm to fulfill X7 criteria.

Generator Synchronization and Block loading

Load Controller to be switched ON.
Load Reference to be set to 20 MW.
Load limit to be set at 50 MW.
Load Gradient to be switched ON.
Load Gradient to be set on 10 MW/Min.
Limit Pressure Mode to be selected.
Generator Earthing Switch to be opened.
Bus side Isolator and Generator side Isolator to be closed.

Generator Protections to be kept on that breaker which is to be closed for joining with grid.
All the Turbo supervisory parameter are checked and ensured that they are normal.

Turbine Rolling with Hydraulic governor

Turbine has to be reset as usual before rolling.

Following things are to be taken care of before raising Starting device.

Tracking Device Off.
Speeder Gear Position zero.
Speed Reference position zero.

Speed reference raised to 100%.

EHC output goes to 100%.

Starting device position raised to 43%.

ESVS get opened.

Starting device further raised to 56%.

IVS get opened.
Henceforth starting device is raised carefully and speed is brought to 600 rpm by trial and error
method.

Turbine soaked at 600 rpm.

Before increasing speed to 3000 rpm
a. TSE upper margin>400.
b. X6 criteria curve satisfied.
Starting device raised to 100% non stop.

a.Turbine speed rises to 2700 rpm.

Hydraulic governor takes over at 90% of rated speed(2700 rpm).

Hence further speed is raised by Speeder gear

Turbine soaked at same speed to fulfill X7 criteria for further loading.

Synchronization and Block loading(by increasing speeder gear) done.
