4 Field tests shall be performed in accordance with IEC Publication No. 60041, Field Acceptance Tests of Hydraulic Turbines.
6 Contractors guarantee against cavitation pitting shall be based on the following conditions of operation: 7 The operation of the unit at an output greater than the maximum normal output, as given in the Technical Schedules, will not exceed 100 hours accumulated during the guarantee period. 8 The operation of the generating unit at a partial output less than the normal minimum turbine discharge given in the Technical Schedules, and including operation at speed-noload, will not exceed 500 hours accumulated during the guarantee period. 9 The tailwater levels during turbine operation will not be less than that stated in TM1.10. The maximum normal output at various net heads and tailwater levels shall be as stated by the Contractor in the Technical Schedules. 10 In an effort to allow early determination and to limit the amount of cavitation pitting damage, at the Employers discretion, an inspection of the turbine may be arranged after between 1000 and 3000 hours of accumulated operation from the time the unit was placed in service. Contractor shall provide the services of a competent engineer for these inspections. The results of the inspection shall be reviewed with the Employer. The Contractor may, after consultation with the Employer, waive its presence at this inspection. 11 At the end of the guarantee period, the Contractor and the Employer shall also jointly inspect and measure any cavitation damage, unless waived in writing by the Employer. If excessive cavitation occurs, the Contractor shall immediately, unless otherwise approved by
TM-1.7
TM-1 Turbine
the Employer, reshape and resurface the cavitated areas by grinding, polishing, building up by welding or other approved means, to remedy the cause insofar as possible, and propose and implement corrective action to mitigate future pitting damage. Cavitation repairs shall be at the expense of the Contractor. If the damage does not impair the strength of the runner or other parts, the Employer may require the cavitation pitting repairs to be delayed as long as ten months. Wear due to erosion by suspended matter in the water or corrosion caused by chemical composition of the water are not intended to be covered by the cavitation guarantee. 12 If the turbine fails to meet the above guarantee, the Contractor shall repair all pitted areas in a satisfactory manner by welding. The final repaired surfaces shall have stainless steel weld, having a minimum finished thickness of 3 mm. The Contractor shall also make the necessary alterations to remove the cause or causes of this pitting or shall replace the runner with one which is satisfactory. Contractor shall undertake all repairs at a time convenient to the Employer and will undertake the repair work on a two 10-hours shifts per day, seven-days per week basis unless otherwise agreed by the Employer. For the purpose of repair, the Employer will unwater the unit, remove the turbine covers and provide compressed air and electric power free of charge to the Contractor; the Contractor shall provide all necessary tools, materials and labor. The Employer will assume responsibility for loss of capacity and generation during these outages, but the Contractor shall take all steps to complete the repair work in a minimum time period. If the removal of the causes of this pitting requires dismantling and shipping of the runner or any of the parts, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs incurred. Subsequent to repair, the turbine will be subject to the above cavitation guarantee for another period of 8000 operating hours. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Defects Liability Period specified in the General Conditions, the guarantee will be renewed each time the turbine fails to meet the guarantee. If the turbine runner fails to meet the cavitation pitting guarantee after repairs have been effected three times, the Contractor shall replace the runner completely with a new runner of an improved design and shall bear all costs of runner replacement.

TM-1.16
TM-1 Turbine
7 If a fabricated runner is used, all welds shall be full penetration and furnace stress relieved. The Contractor shall provide copies of the certified timetemperature record for furnace stress relieving. During stress relief, the weldment shall be adequately supported in the furnace to prevent distortion due to its own weight. After stress relief, the welds shall be chipped or ground to the correct contour, and shall be magnetic particle inspected. 8 The joint preparation between the blades and the crown and band shall be double grooved to ensure complete penetration through the full thickness and length of the joint. At the joints near the entrance and discharge edge of the blades the weld root area shall be gouged to sound metal by suitable means after sufficient weld metal has been deposited from the first side. The gouged area shall be magnetic particle inspected prior to depositing any weld metal on the second side of the joint. The length of weld root to be gouged at each entrance and discharge edge shall not be less than 15% of the blade length. 9 All welding shall be visually inspected frequently for cracks and other defects. After the final weld is completed and the surface ground smooth to the final surface, the welded joint shall be fully inspected by magnetic particle method. In addition, the welds at each entrance and discharge edge of the blades shall be inspected by ultrasonic methods over a distance of at least 15% of the blade length. Any defects shall be chipped or gouged to expose sound metal prior to any subsequent welding. The reweld area shall be inspected during welding and after completion as required for the original weld. 10 The welding filler metal or electrodes used shall be of a grade suitable for the material being welded, and shall be suitable for all position welding. No welding electrode larger than 3/8 in. diameter shall be used. When welding the blades, a jig fixture shall be used to ensure proper position and spacing of the runner blades. 11 The blade positions shall be checked several times during welding to assure that the proper position is maintained. Care shall be exercised during the welding operations, to minimize distortion by employing adequate bracing, intermittent skip welding around the runner, and avoiding excessive localized heating. 12 During welding operations, the runner shall be positioned so that insofar as practical all welds are made in approximately the down-hand position. 13 Peening may be used to control distortion and for relieving localized stresses; however, the first and last layer of deposited weld metal shall not be peened. 14 Prior to assembling the runner for welding, all accessible water passage surfaces shall be finish machined and/or ground to the correct contour, except in those areas that, due to the manufacturing procedure, must be finished following the completion of all welding. Any irregularities which might be conducive to pitting shall be corrected by welding and grinding. 15 After machining and finishing, the run outs on the band and crown sealing surfaces, the coupling face and location recess shall be measured and recorded. These records shall be made available to the Engineer on request. 16 The runner seal rings shall be renewable and of a weldable grade of stainless steel. Special attention shall be given to the reliability and anti-galling characteristics of the rotating and stationary rings which shall be given securely fastened in place using stainless steel bolts and dowels.

TM-1.41 Pressure Regulator
1 A hydraulically balanced pressure-type, pressure regulator shall be provided, complete with hollow cone valve, energy absorber, discharge liner, piping, controls, access hatches at different floors to the valve chamber and anchor bolts. 2 The regulator shall operate as a pressure relief in conjunction with the governor and turbine to limit water hammer pressure rise caused by rapid closure of the turbine guide vanes. Allowable pressure rise is set by the design of the existing penstock and shall not exceed 10% during simultaneous full load rejection of all 3 units. The Contractor shall confirm this limitation by examination of existing drawings and design data and shall perform calculations of pressure rise for Engineers review and acceptance. The results of a turbine index test performed on Unit 3 in 1975 are attached in Appendix A for the Contractors information. 3 The performance and operating characteristics of the pressure regulator shall equal or exceed that of the existing pressure regulators for Units 1 and 3. The entire regulator mechanism, including the linkage connection to the turbine, shall be designed to withstand safely all normal operating loads; including full load rejection on three (3) units; and also any abnormal loading that may be imposed due to failure of control components or loss of control pressure. 4 The regulator shall have a discharge capacity of not less than 100% of the turbine discharge capacity under maximum turbine output with the guide vanes at full open position, so that when operating on water saving, full or part load rejection by the turbine will be followed immediately by no less quantity of water discharged through the regulator than was rejected by the turbine. In addition, with the regulator flow adjusted to have a discharge capacity equal to 100% or more of the maximum turbine discharge, the discharge through the regulator during load rejection shall be not less than the turbine discharge reduction at all guide vane openings throughout the stroke for the head range specified. 5 With the regulator set at water saving, the normal guide vane closing shall not cause any opening of the regulator. 6 The regulator shall be designed to open completely in the minimum time that the governor is capable of making a full-closing stroke. With minimum time setting, the governor full or part closing stroke from any guide vane position shall not cause a penstock pressure rise in excess of 10% of the maximum static head or a speed rise in excess of 45%, to be confirmed by the Contractors design. In order to reduce the force exerted by the governor mechanism to operate the regulator, hydraulic balance shall be incorporated in the design. 7 The mechanism shall be designed so that the regulator will remain closed with the spiral case empty and during and after the filling process without manipulation of auxiliary devices. Also, it shall be designed so that it can be opened or closed by a single manual device when the spiral case is empty. 8 The regulator operating mechanism shall be provided with a solid connection to the turbine guide vanes operating ring. The connection shall be sufficiently strong to stall the servomotors, should the regulator stick and fail to open and shall retard the closing action of the servomotors to a time interval not less than the set closing time of the regulator when TM-1.30

The connection to the regulator shall include an adjustable length operating lever and rock-shaft and an adjustable length operating rod, to permit varying the stroke and discharge capacity of the regulator with respect to the turbine. The hydraulic system shall use oil from the governor oil system. 9 The pressure regulator, energy absorber and discharge liner shall be capable of continuous operating under all conditions without objectionable noise, vibration or excessive cavitation. The continuous period of operation at full capacity, during which time no maintenance will be required, shall be stated in the Bid. 10 The body and energy absorber shall be either cast steel, normalized and tempered; or steel weldment, properly stress-relieved, or a combination of both. 11 The regulator inlet shall be connected directly to the spiral case without an intermediate valve and shall be attached in a manner to minimize hydraulic disturbances. The nozzle entrance to the pressure regulator shall be adequately mechanically reinforced on the outside. Vanes will not be permitted inside the water passage. 12 Removable and renewable stainless steel seat rings shall be provided on the main plunger and body. Parts of the regulator which may be subjected to heavy cavitating action, especially around the discharge throat area, shall be lined with or made from stainless steel. 13 Air-vent pipes shall be provided to admit sufficient air to the regulator discharge areas for smooth continuous operation. The separate vent pipes shall be not less than 300 mm pipe size and shall extend from the regulator to the tailrace wall of the powerhouse with screened intakes above the flood line. 14 The discharge chamber shall have a water tight removable hatch for convenient access to the discharge chamber and for removal of the pressure regulator valve. A test cock shall be provided at the proper elevation to determine if the water level in discharge liner is below the hatch. 15 The discharge liner for the regulator and energy absorber shall extend from the regulator to the tailrace gate. It shall be designed to minimize erosion in the tailrace. A common tailrace gate slot will be used for one draft tube gate and the pressure regulator tailrace gate. The liner shall be designed to withstand the dynamic and vibration forces imposed on it under all operating conditions. The construction requirement for the turbine draft tube, including anchoring requirements, drain connections, etc. shall apply to the regulator discharge liner. 16 The pressure regulator valve shall be pressure tested in the Contractors shop at 150% of the maximum operating pressure. 17 All parts of the pressure-regulator installation, that require bleeding of air after the spiral case or penstock is dewatered, shall be provided with suitable automatic air valves of a design accepted by the Engineer. 18 The regulator shall be designed to operate water-saving with the closing time adjustable to suit penstock conditions.

19 The design of the control shall prevent hunting of the regulator under all operating conditions. 20 The entire control system shall be designed fall safe i.e., failure of any component, including loss of control pressure, shall not impose dangerous stresses or endanger the regulator or turbine and penstock in any way. 21 Regulator position indicator shall have white background and black numerals and scale markings, and shall be mounted for convenient visibility. The position indicator shall be graduated in tenths of regulator opening. 22 Limit switches shall be provided for regulator fully closed, regulator fully open. 23 Pressure gauge shall be provided to indicate dashpot oil pressure. The gauge shall be conveniently visible. 24 All necessary gauges, valves, relays, pressure and limit switches gaskets, piping, indicating lights, nameplates etc. shall be provided for a complete and operable pressureregulator installation. 25 Bolted and gasketted inspection covers or hatches shall be provided as required to facilitate inspection and maintenance.

One of these shall be used to deenergize the drive motor in the opening direction at the full guide vane position. One shall be used to de-energize the drive motor in the close direction at the closed position. The third switch shall be used to deenergize the motor in the close direction at a guide vane position approximately equal to the speed-no-load guide vane opening. In the event of a protective shutdown condition, the mechanical guide vane limit device shall shut the unit down by setting the limit device to zero for protection backup operation. The guide vane limit drive motor shall have provision for changing the speed of operation in the range of 5% of guide vane full opening per second to 10% of guide vane full opening per second.

An electronic start position guide vane limit shall be provided. It shall include a five position selector switch to provide five different guide vane openings to compensate for variation in headwater elevation (c) Speed Adjustment Control and Indication Speed control shall be located at the control room. The speed setting will be used when the unit is off-line and may be adjusted for commissioning or testing purposes. The automatic synchronizer (or the control room operator) will adjust the speed setting to bring the unit into synchronism. Speed adjustment will be raised up or lowered in response to contact closure by the synchronizer or operator action. The speed adjustment shall be implemented through an electronic operated speed-adjusting device. After the unit is synchronized, the speed setting shall be automatically returned to the nominal synchronous speed setting. Speed adjustment range shall be 85% to 110% of rated speed with a granularity of 0.01%. (d) Load Set Point Adjustment Control and Indication Load adjustment control shall be from the governor cubicle and the control room using raise/lower adjustment devices. A selector switch with four maintained contact positions shall also be provided to allow selection of a ramp rate (0.1 MW/s, 0.2 MW/s, 0.3 MW/s, 0.4 TM-2.8
TM-2 Governors
MW/s, to be confirmed by Contractor), with indicating lamps to confirm rate selection. Load set point adjustment will be implemented by program in the controller. Power control shall be automatically selected after synchronizing and breaker closure. Optimum governor gains shall be preselected for network operation and shall be applied as soon as power control is effective. When operating on power control, the speed feedback loop shall remain fully functional and shall use the synchronous speed (automatically reset to synchronous after synchronizing) as the reference. When operating on power control, the operator will set the desired power output, but the actual response shall be biased (depending on speed droop or regulation) if network frequency deviates from the nominal synchronous frequency. When operating on manual control, the power control set point shall be automatically adjusted to suit the actual output so that transfer from manual to power control can be done with no significant interruption or change in output. (e) Permanent Speed Droop/Load Regulation Permanent speed droop shall be adjustable and indicated at the governor cubicle only. The speed droop adjustment range shall be 0 to 10% and shall be adjustable when the unit is operating on the system. (f) Guide Vane Control It shall be possible to operate in guide vane opening control mode from the governor cubicle and the control room, by changing the feedback signal from load control to guide vane control through a selector switch in the governor cubicle. (g) Manual Control Manual control is required for testing and commissioning, and to permit the unit to remain on-line while emergency repairs are carried out on the governor electronics. It shall be permissible to select manual control when the unit is on-line, either by operator action or as a result of protective action. The guide vanes will remain in the same position (see actuator lock description), i.e., the position at the time of changeover, until the operator releases the actuator lock. The operator may adjust the guide vane limit to the actual guide vane position before releasing the lock to prevent a sudden change in load. The unit shall be protected from runaway by the manual guide vane limit device, the shut-down solenoid and the mechanical overspeed shutdown device when running on manual control. Manual control shall be selected automatically on speed sensor failure, or on failure of the electronics of the primary speed control loop. All equipment needed for manual control shall be independent of power and speed control so that manual control can be used when other control modes are shut down, deenergized or inoperative. (h) Governor Gain Parameters The governor shall normally select gain parameters depending on whether the unit is on line or off line. Detection of unit on-line or off- line shall be through a load sensing device.
