Gas Turbine:
The SGT5-4000F GT consist essentially of a multiple-stage axial compressor, an annular
combustion chamber with 24 hybrid burners for gas and oil firing and a multiple-stage axial
turbine. The compressor takes ambient air through an inlet air filter, compresses it and feeds it
to the combustion chamber. The fuel is fed into the combustion chambers and is burned with
the compressed air. The resulting hot, compressed combustion gas flows from the combustion
chambers into the turbine. The gas expands and drives the turbine. The mechanical power
generated in the turbine drives the generator and the compressor. The output of the generator
is connected by transformer and bus bars to the power grid.
The Continuous Emissions Monitoring System continuously monitors the exhaust gas
concentration of NOX, CO and SO2 and as reference variables O2 is also measured. The CEMS is
based on extractive technology, with sampling probes mounted directly at the stacks and gas
analyzers integrated into a shelter placed at the ground level. The system is designed for

HRSG:
The HRSGs are horizontal dual pressure HRSGs with natural circulation evaporator systems. The
condensate preheater heats the entire condensate flow close to boiling temperature of the LP
system. Downstream of the condensate preheater the condensate flow is split to LP and HP
stages respectively bypass deaerator. The LP feed water goes directly from the condensate
preheater to the LP drum. From the drum, water is fed into the natural circulation evaporator.
Then the water steam mixture returns to the drum, where it is separated by separators. The
separated saturated steam is fed to the superheater and is heated further to LP steam
temperature. The HP feed water goes from the condensate preheater to the feed water pumps
(3x50% for 2 HRSGs). The HP systems of the HRSGs consist of economizers, evaporator, drum
and superheater. The HP feedwater is heated approximately to boiling temperature in the
economizers and fed to the drum. Through the down comers water flows geodetically from the
drum to the evaporator, where a portion is evaporated. Due to density differences the resulting
water/steam mixture returns to the drum and is separated by separators. The arising water is
remaining in the drum and the separated, saturated steam is fed to the superheater section and
is heated further to main steam temperature.
During combined cycle operation the generated HP steam of both HRSGs is fed to the HP part of
the steam turbine by a common HP main steam line and is expanded to low pressure. The
generated low pressure steam is fed to the connection of the LP-steam supply towards the LP
section of the ST and the entire steam flow is completely expanded to condenser pressure in
the LP section of the ST. During ST start-up or high ambient temperature operation the HP main
steam temperature is controlled to the requirements of the ST by one interstage and one final
stage attemperator.

The condensate preheater inlet temperature is kept above 96C/113C (setpoint depending on
sulfur content in fuel gas) for gas operation due to the sulphuric acid dew point. For oil
operation, a condensate preheater inlet temperature of 124/140C (setpoint depending on
sulfur content in fuel oil) is specified to avoid corrosion on the flue gas side due to the sulphuric
acid dew point.
The CPH inlet temperature is achieved by a sequence of control measures.
First circulating hot condensate from an extraction line of the feedwater pump to the
condensate preheater inlet is activated.
Two condensate recirculation pumps are taken in service. The condensate preheater inlet
and outlet temperatures are thus controlled by means of condensate recirculation. To
reduce steam production in the LP stage the LP pressure is increased and in
consequence due to reduced LP steam production more exhaust heat is available to the
condensate preheater.
As the exhaust heat input into the condensate preheater is not always sufficient without
additional measures, condensate can be bypassed around the CPH to reduce the CPH
flow thus increasing the CPH inlet temperature.
As a final measure a certain amount of feedwater is bypassed around the HP economizer.
Thereby the inlet temperatures into the HP drum is lowered and the HP steam
production decreases. Therefore more exhaust heat is available to the LP stage.
During oil operation the bypass deaerator will be used as additional mixing preheater in order to
achieve a minimum economizer inlet temperature of approx. 140C.Both HRSGs share one
common installation for feedwater and condensate recirculation and for condensate bypass.
During operation of the bypass deaerator, the deaerator inlet temperature is controlled by
means of the cold bypass to approximately 8K below deaerator temperature to allow sufficient
deaeration.

The SST5-4000 is a dual-casing condensing turbine with a HP turbine section and a double flow
LP turbine. The HP main steam of the HRSGs flows to the HP turbine section. The exhausted HP
steam is fed into the LP turbine inlet and combines with inducted LP steam produced by the
HRSG LP system. This combined steam flow is expanded in the LP turbine section. The exhaust
steam of the LP turbine flows radially out of the steam turbine to the condenser. The HP section
of the turbine is operated in sliding pressure mode from 100 - 60% ST output and in fixed
pressure mode below this load range in case both HRSGs are in operation. The LP section steam
system is operated in fixed pressure over the whole entire load range. The ST drives the
generator. During HRSG start-up and shutdown and in ST bypass operation, high pressure and
low pressure steam are fed directly to the condenser via the HP and LP bypass stations. Cooling
water pumps ensure the cooling water circulation through the condenser directly cooled by
seawater.
During combined cycle operation, with both GT/HRSG sets in operation, HP main steam pressure
is controlled by the ST control valves according to the natural sliding pressure characteristic
between 100% and 60% main steam pressure related to 100% to 60% steam mass flow. Below
60% mass flow the pressure is limited to fixed pressure level, means 60% of rated pressure. In
case only one GT/HRSG is in operation, the HP sections are operated with "equivalent" sliding
pressure: The 1+1 (1 GT/HRSG + 1 ST) operating pressure is equivalent to 2+1 operating pressure
at equal steam mass flow per HRSG, as well down to fixed pressure. The condenser pressure is
resulting from the arising amount of steam and from cooling system design and cooling water
temperature. During ST start-up the main steam temperature setpoint for an optimized ST start-
up is given by the ST control logic to the unit coordination control respectively main steam
temperature control.
Water Steam Cycle:
The water-steam cycle consists primarily of the condensate system, feedwater system and steam
system. The condensate is extracted from the condenser hotwell and delivered to the CPHs via
condensate extraction pumps. The condensate is preheated in the preheaters of the HRSGs and
transferred to the LP drum respectively to the bypass deaerator and feedwater pumps. The

feedwater system supplies the water to the HP sections of the HRSGs which is discharged as
main steam. The HP and LP steam generated in the HRSGs is fed via the steam systems to the
steam turbine in the turbine building. Before and during plant start-up the bypass deaerator can
be heated using auxiliary steam taken from the auxiliary steam system to shorten the start-up
procedure. The auxiliary steam system additionally supplies auxiliary steam to the ST for sealing
purpose. For start-up, shutdown and 1+1 operation each HRSG can be disconnected by shutoff
valves.
The dedicated closed cooling water systems supply cooling water by means of 3x50% pumps -
assigned to each closed cycle - to the connected component coolers, mainly the W/S cycle
pumps, GT and ST component and generator coolers, whereas the second closed cooling water
system supplies cooling water to the gas compressor cooler.
Plant Start Up
The time of plant start-up initiation is defined by start-up of the first GT and is
completed with both
GTs in base load operation and all steam bypass stations closed. HRSG purging and
waiting time
for an adequate steam quality have to be considered separately.
Preparations for Combined Cycle start up
The following systems must be activated and ready for operation before GT start-up:

initiated. Up to ignition, the speed is increased by driving with the generator and
SFC only.
Speed is then further increased with the GT start-up program by controlled fuel feed
through the
fuel control valve. From about 2000 rpm the speed is increased until rated speed
without the support
of the SFC. At rated speed the generator is synchronized and connected with the grid
and the
GT is loaded to minimum output according to a temperature setpoint which is determined
by the
HP drum and HP SH header temperature.
Heat Recovery Steam Generator Start-up
After GT ignition and as soon as a temperature increase is measured in the evaporator
system, a
minimum feedwater flow of approx. 10% MCR is fed through the HP economizers. This
prevents
evaporation during opening of the feedwater control valves, minimizes flow
instabilities in the
pipes of the economizer heat exchangers and provides a smooth level increase in the
drums during
water ejection.
With GT run-up, ignition and synchronisation the heat transfer to the HRSG begins: The
metal of
the heating surfaces is heated up and steam begins to form in the evaporators, which
leads to a
partly water ejection from the evaporators to the drums. As soon as the level in the
HP or LP
drum increases or a significant pressure increase is measured, the setpoints for the
related drum
lowering and feedwater controls are increased slowly to operating level. The HP and LP
feedwater
control loops are not changed over to 3-element control, which takes the level, the
incoming
feedwater and the steam output into account, unless the generated steam flow exceeds
stable
steam mass flow (approx. 20% MCR).
After the HP-steam temperature approaches the GT exhaust gas temperature and as soon
as the
HP drum level has stabilized at operating level and the HP steam flow is sufficient,
the GT output

and hence the exhaust gas temperature is increased with the temperature gradients
allowed for
the thick-walled components such as HP drum and HP SH outlet-header (temperature
controlled
start-up).
The exhaust gas mass flow rate through the GT and HRSG remains approximately constant
until
approx. 40% GT load with compressor inlet guide vanes (IGV) at minimum opening. From
approx.
40% to IGV wide open, the exhaust gas temperature is kept constant while the exhaust
gas mass
flow is increased.
Warm-up of the HP header with open MS isolation valve and associated bypass valve is
initiated
as soon as the first HRSG generates steam.
achieved.
During bypass operation, the steam lines between the bypass station branch and turbine
stop
valves (ESVs) are also heated in parallel with HRSG start-up by the increasing
saturated steam
temperature related to the rising steam pressure. The warm-up begins as soon as the
saturated
steam temperature exceeds the metal temperature. Further heating above the saturated
steam
temperature will be achieved by opening of the drain valves in the steam lines. The
drains will be
closed when adequate superheating is achieved. The ST start-up temperatures upstream
HP
ESVs will be realized by opening of the drain valves at the ST inlet valves.

until the HP bypass station is closed completely. With further increase of the GT
output, the exhaust
gas temperature is controlled to meet the thermal requirements of the steam generator
and
ST. Once the GT outlet temperature has reached its upper limit (corrected turbine
outlet temperature
at base load), power output is increased further with increased fuel and air flow
rates by
opening the adjustable compressor inlet guide vanes. The exhaust gas temperature is
thus held
constant.

the second by means of the steam bypass stations. Coupling of the HRSGs in general is
achieved
by closing of the bypass stations with the ST on pressure control mode.
When the pressures are equalized, the temperature differences are < 40 K and the
necessary
steam purity (for the related required values see plant operation manual) is
acknowledged manually
by the operator, the HP main steam shutoff valve is opened. Due to the equalized
pressures
upstream and downstream of the open HP main steam shutoff valve no flow across these
valves
will result until the HP bypass station pressure setpoint is increased by a small
offset, causing the
HP bypass station to close subsequently and further loading of the ST will follow.
The steam mass flow from the HP bypass of the second HRSG to condenser decreases and
the
flow through the ST increases accordingly.
Due to one common LP bypass station for both HRSGs the steam is fed directly to the
header upstream
of the LP ST after pressure equalisation and opening of the isolation valve of the
second
HRSG. If the steam quality is not adequate to the requirements of the ST, the control
valve of the
LP ST will be closed temporarily and the steam will be routed to the condenser, this
may result in a
minor loss of power (approximately 1 MW as per clarification). After accomplishment of
sufficient
steam quality, the control valve of the ST will be opened again and the bypass valve
will be closed.
Once the steam turbine is accepting the full steam load of a pressure system and the
belonging
bypass valve has closed completely, a higher p offset is added to the bypass
pressure setpoint of
each pressure system in order to keep the bypass stations shut as long as the ST is in
normal operation.
The ST controls the pressure according to the common unit pressure set point. Further
GT
respectively HRSG load increase is now possible.
During ST start-up the pressure setpoint for ST and B/P stations will be held at a
constant value.

After finalized ST start-up with fully closed steam B/P stations and at steam flows
above 60% the
ST will be operated at sliding pressure mode with fully open ST control valves. The
unit pressure
setpoint will follow the sliding pressure setpoint
If the group unit load controller is activated, the load setpoints of both GTs are
equalized and adjusted
in a way that the group plant output including the ST load reaches the required group
unit
load.
The plant can either receive a common plant load setpoint from the plant AGC or a
group setpoint
from the group AGC or an individual unit setpoint from the unit AGC meaning for each
GT.
The table below summarizes the advantages of a common setpoint compared to an
individual setpoint
for each generator

In case two HRSGs are in operation the HP steam systems of the HRSGs are operated in
natural
sliding pressure mode between 100% and 60% of rated pressure related to 100% to 60%
main
steam mass flow. Below 60% main steam mass flow the HP systems are operated in fixed
pressure
mode, means the pressure is controlled to 60% of rated pressure. In case only one
GT/HRSG
is in operation, the HP sections are operated with "equivalent" sliding pressure: The
1+1 (1
GT/HRSG + 1 ST) operating pressure is equivalent to 2+1 operating pressure at equal
steam mass
flow per HRSG, as well down to 60% of rated pressure. The LP steam system is operated
in fixed
pressure mode over the entire load range. Fixed pressure operation in the lower load
range is not
required by the ST, but by the HRSG.
At lower total load demand than about 50%, one of the two GT/HRSG modules should be
taken
out of service for economic reasons and environmental reasons (reduced NOx emissions)
and to
ensure efficient plant operation. Load control is then performed by the remaining
GT/HRSG module.
The minimum combined-cycle load is reached when the HP steam temperature approaches
the minimum allowable temperature (approx. 450C). In addition, these load conditions
are not
recommended due to thermal stress resulting from cooling down of the HP ST sections.
