Bed Ash Coolers-No leakage of air, and filled with sand up to required level.
Hot Gas Generators-System checked for leakage and protections
Furnace-Bed material filled up to proper level
Fuel-Proper level in coal bunkers and Fuel Oil tank
Safety-required control and protection logics healthy
Pre-start up checks of the burners are satisfied.
All the HV/LV Motors are on / Auto selected and in Remote position
Start SA fans and get a flow of 10 kg/s for 5 minutes for complete purging of the
furnace.
Start Fuel pump and ensure adequate fuel oil header pressure.
Start Boiler Feed pump and condensate pump for maintaining drum and
deaerator level. Ensure appropriate make up water to the hot well.
Start both HCG one by one and set the oil flow such that refractory temperature
does not go beyond 850C. Ensure slow heating of the refractory and the boiler
bed.
Raise the temperature of boiler furnace bed slowly to avoid unusual thermal
expansion. While water starts boiling, close the drum vent at a drum pressure of
2.0-3.0 kg/cm2. Throttle the super heater drains to crack open.
After attaining bed temperature of 350oC, start one centre coal feeder
Take another coal feeder into service adjust PA and SA flow as per requirement.
Maintain Bed Temperature <800C and raise slowly drum pressure to 93 kg/cm2.
The Main steam drain valves are operated during system start-up to drain the
condensate from the main steam piping and also to warm the system piping as
steam is admitted. Main Steam line charging will be initiated by opening Boiler
main steam stop valve when steam pressure reaches 5 kg/cm2 (or at high
pressure in case of warm / hot start).
The Main steam drain valves are opened during system start-up to drain the
condensate from the Min steam piping and also to warm the system piping as steam is
admitted. Main steam line charging will be initiated by opening boiler main steam stop
valve when steam pressure reaches 5 kg/cm2 (or at higher pressure in case of
warm/hot start).
1x 60% (BMCR) Turnbine bypass system is provided to control the main steam
pressure. During start-up before boiler is fired and all permissive for turbine bypass
system are satisfied turbine bypass will be put in to service under auto control.
Once main steam pressure reaches 10 kg/cm2, turbine bypass valves are opened.
Steam pressure is then controlled by turbine by turbine bypass and shall be increased
gradually as per boiler pressurisation curves.
Turbine bypass will be operated as per boiler supplier recommendation from boiler light
off till the parameter (pressure and temperature) required for turbine steam admission
are achieved.
VACCUM UP
For condenser vacuum building, gland sealing system to be established first. Once
gland seals are established, condenser vacuum pulling can be initiated. During start-up
both the ejectors inlet isolation valves are closed. Thereafter, both main and hogging
ejectors are started and their inlet isolation valves are opened for hogging operation.
Once sufficient vacuum is established (to 0.3 kg/cm2) standby hogger shall be stopped
and respective inlet isolation valve to be closed.
Turbine Start-up
Turbine start-up is performed by automatic turbine run up system (ATRS) which
is a part of turbine control system, by providing acceleration, load rates and hold
times directly to the primary controls.
STG Rolling
Turbine start-up sequence is composed of three main phases:
1. Speed acceleration ramp from 0 rpm to 1st warm up speed (IDLE
Speed)
2. Speed holding for the 1st warm p for required time (to be confirmed)
3. Speed acceleration ramp from 1st warm up to rated speed
The turbine will be rolled by the ATRS sequence at suitable speed and
acceleration rate based on the casing temperature.
After all the STG pre requisites/ready to start conditions are ensured, and the
boiler steam parameters are matched to the STG admission needs (as per STG
start up mode), steam shall be admitted to the STG.
The STG will be rolled off and brought up to synchronization speed in
accordance with the STG accelerating program.
Boiler Shutdown
Once steam turbine is tripped, boiler shutdown is performed in following steps:
When oxygen reaches above 15% and bed temperature reaches below 700 degc
stop PA fans one by one.
After stopping PA fans keep running SA fan for another 10 minutes. Then stop
SA fans one by one.
Keep running ID fans with furnace draft-30 to -40 mmwc for another 30 minutes.
Then stop one ID fan but keep running another fan and reduced furnace to -10 to
-15 mmwc.
Maintain drum level till below screen or bed temperature reaches below 150
degC
BFP Shutdown
