PROTECTIVE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN


FIRED SHUTDOWN:
o Normal Shutdown reduces the fuel to the Turbine in a
controlled way ( Up to 20% of Speed and shuts of the
fuel totally) so as to reduce the overall thermal shock to
Turbine Internals
o It is executed by using STOP Push buttons on UNIT
CONTROL DISPLAY in MARK-V/ STARTUP
display in MARK-VI.
o This is the most preferred shutdown mode.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:
o Shuts of the Fuel Immediately by closing the Fuel Stop
Valves.
o Manual Emergency Stop to be used judiciously.
o Emergency Push Buttons are provided on
- MARK-V/ MARK-VI Control Panels.
- The Manual push lever on over speed bolt.
STANDBY OPERATIONS:
When the machine is not run for long time?
Put the machine on Ratcheting/Barring for at least 30
min daily.

Crank the turbine once in a fortnight to drive away


moisture.
Operate the GT to FSNL once every month to avoid
corrosion of turbine wheel dovetails.
Daily Check Battery System, Oil levels etc.

Dos and Donts in Shutdown, Startup and Running GT


1. Check the Evaporating cooling system parameters DP after
evaporating system, Relative humidity; ambient temp and also
check Air pulsating system should be in service daily. DM
water to be used in evaporating cooling system.
2. Ensure all the Doors of Turbine compartment, Diffuser
compartment and Load Gear Compartment to be in closed
position otherwise GT will trip. Advantage of closed doors,
bearings have thin casing. If doors opens continuously casing
may be cooled and causes rotor rub.
3. Venting and draining of filters and line of water injection
system and after water injection put in service.
4. IGV, SRV and GCV sluggishness /stroke operation manually
checked in every shutdown as per earlier values.
5. Water injection Purge feed valves sluggishness/stroke
operation manually checked in every shutdown. Operated as
per earlier time
6. Compressor Bleed valves passing of valves /Sluggishness
+/stroke operation manually in every shutdown operated as per
earlier time.
7. Air inlet DP Switches, AFPCS and AFPAP impulse line
flushed in every shutdown.
8. Lube oil filter to be cleaned in every shutdown and also check
its oil pressure and hydraulic oil pressure as per earlier values.
9. All pumps, vent fans and blowers actual current rating to be
measured weekly and change over the entire stand by drives
every 15 days.
10. Turbine and Diffuser compartment DP switches checked in
every shutdown.
11. Mark-V Card Inspection Inspect all PWB in each core. Verify
all plug in relays are firmly connected into their sockets.

Check to see each card is held firmly. Check to see card


identifier is on left top corner in each core. This is to ensure
card orientation.
12. Mark-V card inspection using appropriate caution while
replacing cards in card carriers. Avoid binding/
pinching/chafting of ribbon cables and wire hardness.
13. Verify polarity and voltage of DC/AC supplies of Mark-V
14. Energies the processors (<R>,<S>, & <T>, <C>) one at a time
while monitoring the supply. The LCC display should indicate
state A4,A5,A6 or A7 and possibly with several messages in
Mark-V
15. Control constants are to be verified or updated as per site
control specification document. Approximation of any number
or constant is strictly not allowed. Qualified Person only
should update the control constants and such up dation or
amendment to be avoided when the Gas Turbine is running.
16. Do not force any logic for Startup.
17. Do not attempt subsequent starts without troubleshooting if
machine trips during startup.
18. Maintain AC temperature between 16 deg C min to 20 deg C
max for Mark-V panel.
19. Record the TREND and ANALYZE present operation.
a. Load Vs Exhaust Temperature
b. Load Vs FSR
c. Load VS CPD
d. Load Vs Vibration.
e. Load Vs Wheel space Temp.
f. Load Vs IGV and load tunnel temp.
g. Load Vs GCV, SRV etc
h. Use all trend from MARK-V/MARK-VI to notice
incipient problem.
