Start-up and Operational Manual for Steam Turbine

(WE) D300N-000106ASM

Preface The start-up mode described in this manual is proposed according to the structural features of main body of 300MW steam turbine made by our factory and by referring to the technical characteristics of imported digital electro-hydraulic control system (DEH) for HP hydraulic oil, which applies to our new generation of full electronic control type of 300MW steam turbine. There are three kinds of start-up operation modes for the steam turbine, namely "Self-Starting Mode", "Operator Automatic Mode" and "Manual Mode". The operating personnel may choose one of them according to the actual conditions. Under " Self-Starting Mode ", the ATS of DEH control system is under " Control State ". The ATS controls the steam turbine based on the state of assembling unit to automatically complete the start-up process including turbine rolling, raising speed, synchronous incorporating in power network, picking up initial load. The detailed operational and monitoring requirements about the " Self-Starting Mode " can be found in the " Operation Instruction for Digital Electro-Hydraulic Control System (DEH) for HP Hydraulic Oil " (provided by the supplier of DEH). Under " Operator Automatic Mode", the ATS of DEH control system is under Monitoring Mode instead of participating in controlling. The operator manually sets the target values and rates of change for the speed or load on the operation board according to the condition of main body of steam turbine and the start-up operation procedure provided in the manual. The basic control system of DEH automatically completes the operations of turbine rolling, raising speed, synchronization and picking up the load according to the target values and rates of change set by the operator. The DEH system automatically monitors the start-up parameters through the CRT display, sends out the signal "Alarm" or " Shutoff" when exceeding the limits, guides the operator and prints the current data and historical data for the operator to study and analyze.

Start-up and Operational Manual for Steam Turbine

(WE) D300N-000106ASM

Under Manual Mode, the valve position multi-functional processing of DEH control system controls the set according to the button of VALVE LOWER or VALVE RAISE on the operation board controlled by the operator. Under this operation condition, the set shall be controlled by skilled operating personnel according to relevant limits and operating procedures in the manual as well as relevant rules of power plant. The operator shall closely monitor various changes of parameters displayed on the CRT and alarm signals to ensure the safe operation of set. The procedures for start-up and shutdown specified in this manual only apply to Operator Automatic Mode (i.e. ATS monitoring state). The user shall compile the site operation regulations according to the manual and correct them during the actual operation based on the accumulated operating experience. However, each control parameter in the start-up operation shall follow the requirement in the manual. For a new machine, the initial start-up shall properly reduce the rates of raising speed and increasing load. Stable operating time shall be extended properly for each load point. When a new machine is put into operation, the evenness between the contact surfaces and the glidability between the glide surfaces of various parts need certain operating time to improve. Therefore, when a new machine is put into operation, it must experience at least 6 months operation under the complete cycle mode until the set reaches the stable state. Refer to the technical documentation, drawings and manuals supplied with the machine by us for relevant technical data, structural features, etc. about the steam turbine (refer to Delivery List). The start-up state of steam turbine is determined by the metal temperature of inner wall (stage adjusting place) of upper half of HP inner casing. Specifically as follows: Start-up under cold state: 150 Start-up under warm state: 150 300 Start-up under hot state: 300 400 2

Start-up and Operational Manual for Steam Turbine

(WE) D300N-000106ASM

Start-up under extremely hot state: 400 The set has two operating modes: IP casing start-up as well as HP and IP casing combined start-up. It is recommended that the IP casing start-up be considered first. If the boiler and by-pass system are not adaptable, it is possible to only use the HP and IP casing combined start-up; if the IP casing start-up is adopted, the user needs to buy the VV valve and by-pass system required by the IP casing start-up. When the new machine is going to perform the load rejection test, the manufacturer shall be notified. The test requirements shall be discussed by the manufacturer and user jointly. The steam pressure in the manual is absolute pressure and the oil pressure is gauge pressure. The vacuum is converted according to the standard atmosphere, i.e.: Vacuum Mercury Column (mmHg)=760(mmHg)-Exhaust Absolute Pressure (MPa)7500(mmHg/MPa) The user shall make corrections to the following formula according to local sea level height and the climate condition at that time: Vacuum Mercury Column (mmHg)=Local Atmosphere (mmHg)-Exhaust

Absolute Pressure (MPa)7500(mmHg/MPa) The curve attached in the manual is only for ModelN300-16.7/537/537-8 instead of other types.

2 Start-up with IP Casing (IP)

Start-up with the IP casing is to utilize the reheat steam that has higher temperature and bigger flow to raise the temperature of IP casing more rapidly. This makes the IP exhaust temperature exceed the fragility transforming temperature of rotor so as to avoid the fracture of rotating shaft due to fragility, reduce the heat impact of HP casing, prevent the exhaust temperature of HP casing from exceeding the limit, realize the matching between the temperature of main steam and reheat steam as well as the metal temperature at the HP control stage and IP Stage 1, and achieve the purpose of shortening the start-up time and reducing the life loss of set. Start-up with the IP casing has better flexibility and is in favor of peaking operation in two shifts. For start-up with the IP casing, it is required that the by-pass capacity shall meet the requirement of 35%MCR and the by-pass system shall be engaged normally. It is best to set it under the automatic state.

4-2 1 Operating Mode

Varying Duty Operation

The set can operate in two modes: constant pressure and constant-slide-constant pressure. During peaking operation, the operating mode of constant-slide-constant is recommended, i.e. adopt the operating mode of constant pressure when the sets runs at more than 90% rated load; adopt the operating mode of slide operation when the sets runs between 90%-40% rated load; adopt the operating mode of constant pressure when the sets runs under 40% rated load. This operating mode can improve the heat economical efficiency, reduce the temperature difference of steam admission part and temperature change when the load changes, thus reduce the fatigue damage of low periodicity. When the set adopts the operating mode of nozzle adjustment (i.e. sequential valves), if the load reaches 90% rated load, No.I and II control valves are fully opened and No.III control valve is slightly opened. When the set runs between 90 40 , the boiler enters into the operation of slide pressure. The main steam pressure reduces along with the load while the opening of HP valve remains almost the same within this range. When the load is smaller than 40% rated load, the set enters the operation of constant pressure. In this phase, the HP control valve is used to change the load. When the load is smaller than 30% rated load, the IP control valve participates in the load adjustment. Refer to Fig. 4-2-1 for the variable curve of slide pressure operation.

Rated Parameter Shutdown

The rated parameter shutdown normally applies to temporary shutdown. If it is planned to repair the set after shutdown, it is beneficial to adopt the nozzle governing mode. Because the metal temperature is lower if the set is shut down with this mode, the cooling time can be shortened. For the peaking set whose shutdown time only has a few hours or other short temporary shutdown, in order to have higher metal temperature after shutdown to facilitate quick re-start, normally the throttle governing mode is adopted. Based on different shutdown purposes, it is possible to select the valve management mode on the operation boardsingle valve control or sequential valve control (i.e. throttle governing or nozzle governing). a. b. time; c. When reducing the load, watch the changes of expansion differences of HIP Select 1MW/min as the rate of load reduction on the operation board; Based on the boiler operating situation, engage the by-pass system at any

casing and LP casing. If the expansion difference is too big, the load reduction speed shall be slowed down. Check to see whether the steam source for the gland seal needs to be changed over. When the expansion difference reaches 1mm, stop reducing the load and keep stable operation. If the negative expansion difference continues to increase and the measures taken are non-effective, which affect the set safety, the load shall be rapidly reduced to zero; or the set shall be disengaged and shut down; d. During the load reduction process, pay attention to the change over of steam

source for the deaerator; e. During the load reduction process, refer to Article h in Section 5-1 for the

control of drainage system; f. When the load is reduced to 50MW, open the recycling door of condensed

water to ensure the normal working of condensed water pump and water level of steam condenser;

Water Spray of LP Casing of Steam Turbine

Composition, Function and Control The spray system consists of atomization sprayer, electric valve, manual throttle

valve, manual stop valve, sieve, pressure gauge and steel tube. Refer to Spray Device System Diagram for the detailed composition. During the initial start-up, in order to prevent the steam condenser system from not timely taking the exhaust steam of LP casing and heat of LP by-pass steam, which causes the temperature rise of exhaust temperature of LP casing, as well as the exhaust temperature rise of LP casing due to the blast of LP stage when the set has low load and high back pressure, which impacts the movable blades of last several stages of LP casing and LP through flow, the water spray system of LP casing is built. The control can be manual and auto: 1.1 Auto Control: When the exhaust temperature at any point before or after the LP casing equals or is more than 80 , the water spray is engaged. When the temperature of each point before or after equals or is less than 65 , stop the water spray. 1.2 Manual Control When the spray control is under the manual control state, the temperature does not control the spray. The operator can start or stop the spray system based on the concrete situation. Note: For the auto or manual control, the start or stop of water spray shall be done at the front and rear sides at the same time.

2 Test before Spray System Engaged a In the system , all the electric and manual valves shall be agile; b before connecting to water (water source is the condensed water from the desalting device), fully open the electric and manual valves, remove the sprayer, and then connect to water to rinse the system until there is no impurity left on the sieve. Install the sprayer and firmly fix it by spot welding; c Start the electric valve after the manual throttle valve and adjust its opening so as to control the spray pressure after the throttle valve within 0.49 0.784MPa; d Check the atomization of sprayer and spraying angle. They are adjustable through changing the spraying pressure. After the adjustment is done, record the opening of throttle valve and spraying pressure. Note: a The electric valve on the spray pipe shall be opened before start-up and closed after shutdown. b The normal engagement and shutdown are controlled by the electric valve after the throttle valve. When it fails to act, the manual by-pass valve can be used for that purpose.

Emergency Discharge System

Composition, Function and Control The system consists of emergency blowdown valve, electromagnetic control

ventilator valve and steel tube. Refer to Diagram of Auxiliary System of Steam Turbine Proper for details. When the set rejects the load, in order to prevent the residual steam in the HP casing and HP steam guiding pipe from fleeing into the IP and LP casings from the HIP gland seal gap and impacts the set, the BDV is installed. When the gland seal teeth wear and the gap becomes bigger, the overspeed possibility will increase. When the set trips, the BDV opens rapidly and directly guide the residual steam at the HIP gland seal to the steam condenser to prevent the overspeed of set. The BDV open and close are controlled by the oil servo motor stroke of IP control valve: When the oil servo motor stroke of IP control valve is 30mm, the BDV is closed. When the oil servo motor stroke of IP control valve is <30mm, the BDV is opened. 2 Test Before Start-up aCheck and confirm that the compressed air enters into the upper part of piston of BDV when the electromagnetic control ventilator valve excitates. The piston overcomes the downward shift of spring force to close the valve. When the electromagnetic control ventilator valve dis-excitates, the upper part of piston of BDV connects with the exhausted air to release the air pressure. Under the action of spring force, the piston moves upward to open the valve. b The controlling compressed air pressure shall be within 0.4 0.7MPa to ensure the close of BDV.
