Report of committee for Framing Guidelines on Load Acceptance Criteria for Hydro-Electric Plants

A committee was constituted comprising of representative from various leading Hydro Project authorities from India headed by representative from CEA for framing the Guidelines on Load Acceptance Criteria. As such no guidelines were framed earlier to cater the problem of ramp rate while loading and unloading of plant after sudden change in load. During sudden change in load, the water levels in surge tank changes subsequently. The surge tank has to be designed to accommodate the maximum & minimum water levels anticipated under worst operating conditions of the units as specified in IS-7396 (Part-I). Maximum Upsurge Level in the surge tank shall be worked out corresponding to : a) b) The full load rejection at the highest reservoir level, and Where considered necessary specified load acceptance followed by full load rejection at the instant to maximum velocity in the head race tunnel and higher of the two shall be adopted.

To obtain Minimum Downsurge Level the worst of the following two conditions shall be considered: a) Full load rejection at minimum reservoir level followed by specified load acceptance at the instant of maximum negative velocity in head race tunnel, and Specified load acceptance at load or speed-no-load condition at the minimum reservoir level.

b)

It was observed that the Specified load acceptance as indicated in the IS-7396(Part-I) has not been framed so far, therefore there is a need for framing load acceptance criteria for upcoming new hydro-electric projects. Load Acceptance Criteria for operating condition: 100-0-100 and 0-100-100 After elaborate studies made on various type and sizes of hydro-electric schemes, the following load acceptance criteria has been worked out: A. Case 1: Load rejection by all operative machines followed by load acceptance by all machines (100-0-100) Ramping up of load for all the Units together: When simultaneous loading of units are done through manual or joint control mode of operation from Speed No-Load condition the ramping rate is limited to 1.5MW/sec to 2.0MW/sec as per graph given in fig. 1 below:

1(a).

The t t l ti e of needle/ ide vane opening from speed no load condition to full load T shall not be less than Ts obtained from criteria given in para 1(c). 1(b). After detailed deliberation, it was agreed that starting of all units together shall generall be not recommended after load throw-off as the malfunctioning of the hardware/software interlocks in the process may inadvertently increase the ramping up rate of units. However, the same adopted if proper functioning of the hardware/software interlocks is assured by the projects authorities. Ramping up of load for Units one by one: When loading of units are done one by one through manual or auto control mode of operation from Speed No -Load condition. The ramping shall be done as per procedure given hereunder anddepicted in fig. 2 below.:

1(c).

a) The needle/guide vane of unit shall be opened in 20-60 seconds as per manufacturers recommendation (To) b) The second unit shall be loaded only after time T1 such that T1 u 2
(L*As/g*At)

where: L is length of HRT in meters As is area of surge tank in m2 At is area of HRT in m2

g is acceleration due to gravity in m/sec2

Tg is the time in sec from the instant of tripping to the start of first unit Ts is total time of opening of all the units in sec T0 is the time of needle/guide vane opening of one unit in sec, T1 is the time in sec. from tripping of unit to opening of needle/guide vane of second unit c) Total time of opening of needle/guide vane shall not be less than T which is equal to installed capacity divided by the ramp rate defined for all the units are loaded together i.e. 1.5MW/sec to 2MW/sec. d) The time gap for 3rd unit till last unit shall be obtained by subtracting the time upto loading of 2nd unit from total time and dividing that by number of remaining units. Note: i) T1 is the time of water oscillation in the surge tank for frictionless system. Hence it is advisable to obtain correct value of T1 from the surge analysis for 100-0-0 operating condition. ii) Wherever continuous overload capacity has been specified, the maximum power output shall be considered as full load throw off. B. Case 2: Load acceptance by all operative machines and continue to run at plant installed capacity as 0-100-100 condition Ramping up of load for all the Units together: When simultaneous loading of units are done through manual or joint control mode of operation from Speed No-Load condition the ramping rate is limited to 2.5MW/sec to 3.0 MW/sec as per graph indicated below:

2(a).

However in this case the Total time of needle/guide vane from speed no-load condition to full load T shall not be less than Ts obtained from criteria given in para 2(c). 2(b) Similar to para 1(b), the committee decided that starting of all units together for 0-100-100 condition shall generally be not recommended, as in this case also any malfunctioning of the hardware/software interlocks or operator mistakes may inadvertently increase the ramping-up rate of units. However, the same adopted if proper functioning of the hardware/software interlocks is assured by the projects authorities. Ramping up of load for Units one by one: When loading of units are done one by one through manual or auto control mode of operation from Speed No-Load condition the ramping shall be done as per procedure given hereunder.

2(c)

a) The needle/guide vane of unit shall be opened in 20-60 seconds as per manufacturers recommendation (To) b) The second unit shall be loaded only after time T2 such that T2 = (L*As/g*At)

where: L is length of HRT in meters As is area of surge tank in m2 At is area of HRT in m2 is acceleration due to gravity in m/sec2

Ts is total time of opening of all the units in sec T0 is the time of needle/guide vane opening of one unit in sec, T2 is the time of start of needle/guide vane opening of second unit from beginning in sec. c) Total time of opening of needle/guide vane Ts shall not be less than time T which is equal to installed capacity divided by the ramp rate defined for all the units are loaded together i.e. 2.5MW/sec to 3MW/sec. d) The time gap for 3rd unit shall be obtained by subtracting the time up to loading of 2nd unit from total time and dividing that by number of remaining units.

The above guidelines are applicable for all hydro schemes having HRT & surge shaft. However, for Dam toe projects, there is no restriction on load acceptance criteria. Note:- T2 is the time of half oscillation in the simple surge shaft for frictionless system. Hence, it is advisable to obtain correct value of T from the surge 2 analysis for 0-1 unit-1 unit operation. Applicability of these Load Acceptance Criteria The committee decided that the applicability of these load acceptance criteria shall be applicable to new hydro scheme being planned considering these guidelines. However, the plants already built shall continue to operate as per operational guidelines approved by the respective utility. Recommendations 1. Based on the information available with the committee and the studies made, the load acceptance criteria as indicated in para A & B for 100-0-100 and 0100-100 conditions respectively may be adopted for hydroelectric plants. Necessary provisions shall be made in unit and plant control system which could detect the initial condition from which the plant is started so that the ramp up constraints could be effectively followed. Infra red light based sensors in surge shaft may be used, wherever feasible so that water level in the surge shaft could be monitored and in the event of water level falling below the critical level during down surge, control action would be initiated to stop the units.
