PROJECT : KUTTALAM CCPP

PROBLEM : TMR CONTROL OF STEAM TURBINE (TMR)

In Kuttalam CCPP, the plant C&I is supplied with Max DNA control
system. The additional feature in this part is the steam turbine
control is through TMR, which is advantageous, as it provides a
back up for electronics instead of the normal mechanical back up by
its own replica of hardware/software.

During commissioning of the TMR, the following problems are faced,
which are as follows:-

1. A&I Card failure
2. Logic differences in software
3. Display Logics

The A&I card failure was attended at END/Bangalore works and made
ready after thorough checks.

The Logic differences and display logics were cleared through a
modified software brought by EDN/Bangalore engineer and the same
is tested and found OK.


During changeover from TMR 1 to TMR 2, it was found that the IP,
LP control system outputs were saturated at 100% and there was no
change for different conditions. Up on checking on-line, we found
that one 4-20 mA to 0-10V converter has failed, which has to be
repaired at EDN/Bangalore. The other two TMRs were checked by
initiating the changeover manually and later through auto by creating
a difference in output and both the changeovers are very smooth and
found to be OK.


TMR 1 TMR 3 changeover and its vise a- versa also checked and
found to be OK.

At present, the machine is running on TMR 1 with TMR 3 as back up.
