COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT

Standard Operating Procedure
OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 1 – Cold Unit Startup – Automatic
Purpose
This provides instructions for safely and efficiently starting the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Combined Cycle Mode
from cold conditions using the automatic plant startup sequencer. The instructions include starting the auxiliary systems,
starting and synchronizing the combustion turbines (CT), establishing the heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), rolling and
synchronizing the steam turbine (ST), and ramping the unit load to full load (~720 MW).
This procedure assumes the following initial conditions:
• Returning the plant to operation after a scheduled outage

• AC electrical buses are de-energized
• CT and ST Generator Hydrogen Seal Oil Systems are in service with the DC seal oil pumps operating
• CT and ST generators are pressurized with hydrogen
• ST Lube Oil System is in service with the DC lube oil pump operating
• ST first stage metal temperature is < 200C (cold conditions)
• Condenser hotwell, deaerator storage tank, and HRSG drums are drained • All clearances are released
Note: This procedure cannot replace intelligent logical reasoning by the operator, especially when coping with unforeseen
operating conditions that this procedure does not address. Therefore, this procedure should be used in conjunction with
applicable safety standards and common sense operating practices.
Limitations and Precautions
Observe the following system/equipment limitations and precautions during Combined Cycle Power Plant startup in the
Combined Cycle Mode:
• Prior to starting equipment, direct the auxiliary operator (AO) to locally verify that the equipment is ready for startup
and that personnel are clear.
• Prior to starting motors and pumps, verify that there is proper lubrication.
• Ensure that pumps and piping are properly vented, charged, and warmed to avoid cavitation, water hammer, and
thermal shock.
• Successive attempts to start a 6.9 kV motor will generate excessive heat that can damage the motor windings. Two
successive starts are permissible during initial starting from ambient temperature conditions. If a motor fails to start on
the second attempt, observe a 30-minute cooling period.
• Hold the CTs at 50 MW until the chemistry technician reports that the steam plant water quality is satisfactory for
increasing load.
• Some 416v motors will start when 416v bus supply breakers are closed resulting in an immediate load on the bus.
These motors cannot be operated from the simulator operator consoles and include both CT vent fans, bearing oil lift
pumps, lube oil pumps, seal oil pumps, seal oil vacuum pumps, mist eliminator and transformer cooling fans, and the
ST hydraulic cooler circulation pump, turning gear, emergency bearing oil pump, and the backup seal oil pump.
• Operate equipment within its maximum loading limit and optimal range according to the following table:
Equipment Limitation
CT generator 225 MW
ST generator 270 MW
HP boiler feedwater pump 50% unit capacity
IP/LP boiler feedwater pump 50% unit capacity
Condensate pump 50% unit capacity
Circulating water pump 50% unit capacity
Fuel oil pump 50% unit capacity

Procedure
Perform each step of the procedure in numerical sequence. As each step is completed, initial the space provided in the left
column before proceeding to the next step.
Note:
• The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS, CT Mk-V, ST Mk-V, and
electrical monitoring panel (EMP)) are listed at the bottom of each step in bold type.
• Steps 1–29 of this procedure are identical to steps 1–29 of Operating Procedure No. 2, Cold Unit Startup – Manual
(OP2). The remaining steps of the two procedures differ. Use this procedure to start up using the automatic plant
startup sequencer. Use OP2 to start up using manual controls. Use OP6 to startup in the Simple Cycle Mode.
• Identical parameters displayed on different screens may display slight value differences, and/or a have a slight delay in
updating. These update only when their values change by a predetermined amount. However, the overwhelming
majority will immediately update. This issue does not apply to Mark V or hardpanel screens.

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 2 – Cold Unit Startup – Manual
Purpose
This provides instructions for safely and efficiently starting the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Combined Cycle Mode
from cold conditions using manual controls. The instructions include starting the auxiliary systems, starting and synchronizing
the combustion turbines (CT), establishing the heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), rolling and synchronizing the steam
turbine (ST), and ramping the unit load to full load (~720 MW).

• CT and ST Generator Hydrogen Seal Oil Systems are in service with the DC seal oil pumps operating
• CT and ST generators are pressurized with hydrogen
• ST Lube Oil System is in service with the DC lube oil pump operating
• ST first stage metal temperature is < 200C (cold conditions)
• Condenser hotwell, deaerator storage tank, and HRSG drums are drained • All clearances are released


Observe the following system/equipment limitations and precautions during Combined Cycle Power Plant startup in the
Combined Cycle Mode:
• Prior to starting equipment, direct the auxiliary operator (AO) to locally verify that the equipment is ready for startup and
that personnel are clear.
• Ensure that pumps and piping are properly vented, charged, and warmed to avoid cavitation, water hammer, and thermal
shock.
successive starts are permissible during initial starting from ambient temperature conditions. If a motor fails to start on the
second attempt, observe a 30-minute cooling period.
• Hold the CTs at 50 MW until the chemistry technician reports that the steam plant water quality is satisfactory for increasing
load.
• Some 416v motors will start when 416v bus supply breakers are closed resulting in an immediate load on the bus. These
motors cannot be operated from the simulator operator consoles and include both CT vent fans, bearing oil lift pumps, lube
oil pumps, seal oil pumps, seal oil vacuum pumps, mist eliminator and transformer cooling fans, and the ST hydraulic
cooler circulation pump, turning gear, emergency bearing oil pump, and the backup seal oil pump.
CT generator 225 MW
ST generator 270 MW
Procedure
Note:
• The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS, CT Mk-V, ST Mk-V, and
electrical monitoring panel (EMP)) are listed at the bottom of each step in bold type.
• Steps 1–29 of this procedure are identical to steps 1–29 of Operating Procedure No. 1, Cold Unit Startup – Automatic
(OP1); however, the remaining steps of the two procedures differ. Use this procedure to start up using manual controls.
Use OP1 to start up using the automatic plant startup sequencer. Use OP6 to start up in the Simple Cycle Mode.

60. ST Startup
Note:
• The ST always starts with reverse flow. The intercept valves (IVs) open to accelerate the ST, steam
flows only through the IP and LP turbines, and the main control valves (V1/V1L) remain closed.
• The ST will accelerate at the SLOW RAMP (250 rpm/min), MED RAMP (500 rpm/min), or FAST
RAMP (750 rpm/min) rate, according to the ST surface stresses.
• If any surface or rotor stress is > 60%, ST speed will hold at 834 rpm, 2500 rpm, and/or 3000 rpm.
• Bearing vibration alarms are set at the maximum expected levels. While accelerating through a critical
speed, vibration levels may increase, but they should peak below the alarm setpoints and diminish
rapidly above the critical speed. Never stop accelerating at or near a critical speed.
• If bearing vibration increases above the alarm setpoint without peaking and decreasing, return the ST to
the turning gear.
