AUTOMATIC TURBINE RUN UP SYSTEM

SGC OIL
1. 1. 1. 1. 1. SGC Oil supply directly acts on the following systems SLC turning gear SLC AOP 1 SLC AOP 2 SLC EOP SLC JOP AOP 1 is switched on as first step to provide the lubricating oil at the required ends.

This program switches on the oil temp controller, which maintains the oil temperature in the header supplying oil to the bearings. The controller actuates a three valve which thereby controlling the quantity of oil being cooled in the oil cooler and quantity of oil being taken directly from the tank to the header.

SGC oil supply also ensures supply of motive oil to the hydraulic turbine of turning gear as the SLC turning gear is switched on by the SGC oil. The jacking oil pumps are also hooked up in SLC mode . SGC oil switches on this SLC for jacking oil system. Shut down program of SGC oil can only be started if HP casing temperature, both top and bottom is below 100 deg C.

SGC - EVACUATION
SGC evacuation directly acts on condensate pumps, vacuum pumps, its SLC and its associated drives. Although SLC drains is primarily hooked up with SGC Turbine, SGC evacuation also switches it on. Shut down program can also be initiated by operator provided the following release criteria are available Speed of turbine <200rpm & Lp bypass is closed

SGC - Turbine
1. 1. 1. 1. 1. SGC Turbine acts directly on the following systems: SLC drains Warm up controller Starting device of the turbine governing system Speed and load set point devices of turbine governing system Auto synchronizer

SGC turbine execute the following tasks, when switched on by the operator at an appropriate time. The program can be made on only after fulfilling the release criteria.

1. Steam & metal temperature matching- is an important task before admitting the steam into the turbine for the purpose of warming up the various elements, speeding and loading. Function generators are used to determine the desired level of temperature based on the actual metal

2. ATRS acts on the warm-up controller to ensure a safe rate warm-up of the ESV& CV of the HP turbine as permitted by the TSE. In the warm up stage, the operation of the turbine drains is equally important and all the drains are hooked up in a SLC.

After the warming up of ESV & CV of the HP turbine, the ATRS admits steam into the Turbine for rolling the turbine. After ensuring adequate level of warming up and availability of all required criteria, the ATRS takes the turbine from barring speed to the first hold speed (Soaking speed). During the process of raising the speed, the acceleration is

The ATRS ensures a definite hold for soaking of turbine internal at this speed for a specific period. After proper and adequate thermal soaking of the components, the ATRS raises the speed of the TG set to rated speed .For this period also, the acceleration is controlled by TSE except for the region where

After attaining a speed above 2950 rpm and when sufficient temperature margins are available, then auto-synchroniser takes over and matches the turbine speed to a value matching with the grid frequency. It simultaneously acts on the AVR for matching the grid and generator voltages. Auto-Synchroniser synchronises the TG set at the right moment depending on the frequency and phase angle.
