12.4.3 Modes of operation Control Modes of Operation The DCS system shall be provided with the following modes of operation for the plant: Local Manual, Local Automatic, Step-by-step (or Semi-Automatic), Remote Automatic start / stop and Emergency stop. The Local operation will be performed from the local Unit Control Board (UCB) and the remote mode operation from the control room at the operators desk. The Local/Remote mode shall be selected from a selector switch located at the UCB. Local operation shall be possible only through permission from the operator. The Local manual and automatic mode shall be selected from a selector switch located at the UCB. Local Manual Mode A Local Manual Mode shall be provided for manual operation of the Unit from the local Unit Control Board (UCB). This will be primarily used for testing and maintenance purposes. Following the receipt of permissive signal from the Control Room, when UCB selector switch is selected to LOCAL-MANUAL this shall disable both the Control Room Operators Work Station and the UCB automatic control mode. Synchronizing and circuit breaker closure shall be possible either automatically from the UCB or manually from the control room. Local Automatic Mode A Local Automatic Mode (next to the Unit) shall be provided for automatic operations of the Unit from the UCB. The Local Automatic mode shall be selected when the UCB selector is in the LOCAL-AUTOMATIC position and this shall disable Remote Automatic Mode from the Control Room.

Step-by-Step Mode A Step by Step (Semi-Automatic) Mode shall be provided with the same functionality as the Automatic Mode but with a hold point between each step of the control sequence and a Step
GBHPL/LOT-5: Electro-mechanical works 293

Alaknanda Hydroelectric Project (300 MW) Particular Technical Specification

Initiation or Reverse Step Initiation (change from start to stop or vice versa) at each hold point. This mode should be available locally from the UCB and from the control room. Stepby-step selection will be done from the UCB HMI when the UCB selector is in the LOCALAUTOMATIC position and from the operators Workstations. Remote Automatic Mode Remote Automatic Mode shall be provided for automatic operation from the Control Room. Under this mode of operation once start command is issued by the operators work station the machine is automatically started, synchronised and loaded to a desired value. Similarly when shutdown command is issued the machine deloads and is brought to standstill status automatically following all the programmed logics. The transfer of control between the UCB and the Operators Work Station will be achieved by the Local/Remote selector switch on the UCB. Control access at the Operators Work Station will be by password controlled software at the Operators Work Station, using individual operator passwords. The passwords shall automatically end after 10 minutes of each operators scheduled shift. High levels of password which allow changes to display programs and scheme logic shall also be provided; these functions shall not be accessible to the operators. Emergency Shutdown Mode An Emergency Stop Mode shall be available from generator UCB , Operators Work Station and from emergency pushbuttons located on the Governor Panel. This function will issue a protection trip and will follow the normal Stop sequence but omitting step checking and will bring the machine to standstill as quickly as possible. This sequence will be the same provided for certain fast electrical or mechanical trips. The Emergency Stop sequence will take priority over any other sequence irrespective of the sequence stage. It should be noted that indication, alarm and metering signals will continue to be sent to the Powerhouse Operators Work Station and hence to the dispatch Centre irrespective of the control mode selected. Shutdown Mode The DCS control system shutdown modes shall be as follows: Normal Shutdown (Control)

Alaknanda Hydroelectric Project (300 MW) Particular Technical Specification

Volume 3B(PTS)

On normal shutdown following an operator command, the plant control equipment shall ramp down the generator output to nearly zero, trip the generator circuit breaker and stop the turbine unit. Closing of MIV is initiated after machine has come to standstill. Forced Shutdown (Protection)

For those protection trips where a potential problem exists that may be aggravated by tripping the breaker at full load, the protection systems will signal the DCS to ramp the generated power to zero, and issue MIV closing command with a time delay of 90-120 secs. ( Equivalent to the nozzle closing time) The protection logic will check that a low forward power condition exists and will then trip the generator breaker and stop the unit. Operation of the protection lockout relays will not permit a restart until the problem has been corrected. Emergency Shutdown The Emergency Stop push buttons and the generator protective devices (Relay 86) will operate the generator trip relays and, via hard wired direct connection, trip the generator breaker, trip the exciter, instructs the governor to stop the unit and close the inlet valve. The control system will monitor the shutdown and intervene, as necessary, to shutdown subsidiary systems. This logic will be functional for a control system failure should the operator need to initiate an emergency trip. It should be noted that a manual Intake Gate Emergency Close will only be initiated at the intake or in the Control Room. 12.4.4 Distributed Process Controllers General The distributed process controllers shall perform the actual process control and process interface.

15.2.1 AC Supply System The ac auxiliary system is based on the following philosophy of operation: During normal running of the unit, each unit auxiliary board will receive power from their respective unit auxiliary transformers (UAT).The incoming circuit breaker feeding the unit auxiliary board (UAB) from the UAT can only be closed if and only if the generating unit is running stable at rated voltage and frequency, and the UAT is healthy and there is no bus voltage on the UAB. The UABs will feed the unit auxiliaries of their respective units. However, in case of failure of its supply, the power requirements of a particular UAB will be met from the station service board (SSB). SSBs are fed from 11 kV switchgear via SST 1 and SST 2 transformers. The11 kV switchgear is fed from two independent external supplies. The station service boards, in addition to feeding the station auxiliary loads, can also back-feed the UAB for black starting purposes, and also feed the adjacent SSB in case of its supply failure. In the event of failure of both Station Service Transformers (SST), the power requirements of the SSB will be assured by one of the UABs. In case of failure of power supply from both the external source, the supply of essential service loads will be assured from emergency diesel generator sets. In case of supply failure, transfer of loads from unit auxiliary supply to station service supply or vice-versa will be done with a minimum of power interruption.
