The document outlines the detailed procedure for cold startup of a thermal power plant from initial preparation to synchronization of the generator with the grid.

The steps include preparation of auxiliary systems, filling of water in boiler drum and deaerator, starting air fans and purge cycle, lighting up burners, increasing steam pressure and temperature, opening bypass valves, starting turbine and increasing speed and load.

The parameters include drum pressure above 50kg/cm2, main steam flow above 200TPH, main steam pressure above 40kg/cm2, main steam temperature above 350°C and reheater steam temperature above 320°C.
