Prewarming HP governing valve case: when the inner wall temperature of steam turbine’s main steam stop
valve case is lower than 150℃, DEH will automatically prewarm the HP main steam stop valve case.
During prewarming, the #2 HP main steam stop valve is closed, the main steam for prewarming enters the
stop valve case via the equalizing valve of #1 main steam stop valve. Proceed the prewarming operation as
follows:
Confirm that the HP main steam stop valve and governing valve are fully closed;
Open the drain valves for HP main steam stop valve case and governing valve case;
DEH automatically opens #1 HP main steam stop valve to the PREWARM position, here it is
necessary to prevent rotor from impulse starting due to untight governor valve and turning gear
tripping;
Carefully observe the temperature difference between inner wall and outer wall of the governing valve
case, when which exceeds 80℃, DEH should automatically close the #1 HP main steam stop valve,
and when which is lower than 70℃, reset the #1 HP main steam stop valve to the PREWARM position
and repeat the same operations; when the temperature of inner wall and outer wall of the valve case
both rise to over 180℃, the governing valve case prewarming should be ended;
When the temperature difference and expansion valve between walls during warming are within the
allowable range, and the lower wall temperature is obviously higher than that of the upper wall, the
drain valve on cylinder body may be closed.
35
When the rotor impulse starting has been enabled by the prewarming steam, it is required to reduce the
prewarming steam pressure as appropriate (by adjusting the opening extent of HP and LP bypass or
turning down the RFV), and do not put the turning gear into operation once again until the rotor comes
to a standstill.
Pay attention to the automatic put-in condition of LP cylinder spraying, if not, put continuous spraying
into operation by hand.
Adjust the HP bypass and LP bypass along with boiler temperature and pressure rising, and keep the
given prewarming steam pressure.
During prewarming the governing valve case, prevent impulse starting rotor and turning gear tripping
due to untight governing valve.

acceleration ratio of 100 r/min/min.
Choose “FRIC CHK” [ON]and confirm “ALL VALVES CLOSED” light is on, MSV is fully closed, #1 and
#2 ICVs are closed; the steam turbine speed decreases gradually. Listen to the sound of steam turbine
friction carefully on site; rotor should not be in static state when checking friction, when the speed of steam
turbine reaches 100rpm, friction checks will be finished.
1.4.3.9 Hold/Reset
If the current valve position should be held during acceleration, click the button of “GO/HOLD” in the
display of “AUTO CRT”, and then choose “HOLD” on the popped up operating terminal. If there is no
need to hold the valve position, choose “GO” , the steam turbine will accelerate with the original speed.
1.4.3.10 Acceleration
1.4.3.10.1 Choose “ACC TATE”[100] and “TARGET” [1500]. Raise the speed to 1500 r/min with the
acceleration ratio within 100 r/min/min, meanwhile check that MSV is Fully open and CV is gradually
opened; the speed of steam turbine rises to 400 r/min with the speed of 100 r/min /min. 1min after the speed
of steam turbine reaching 400 r/min, CVs valve position should be held and ICV should be gradually
opened, the speed of steam turbine will rise.
1.4.3.10.2 If the IP cylinder starts up in warming mode, slightly open CV to warm up the HP cylinder when
the unit speed is under 400r/min; keep the opening of CV and open ICV when the speed is >400r/min; If
the startup of IP cylinder is not in warming mode, do not open HP control valve but open IP control valve
38
only. (Notes: when the HP cylinder starts up, IP control valve should be Fully open from the beginning to
adjust the speed relying on HP control valve.
1.4.3.10.3 “HEAT SOAK” is set automatically in the mode of IP cylinder startup, check that the light of
“ALL VALVES CLOSED” is off, #1 and #2 MSVs are open, #1~#4 CVs start the impulse starting to
400r/min, which will be locked by DEH; then #1 and #2 ICVs start impulse starting to 1500r/min to carry
out medium speed warming up, the indicator of target speed “1500r/min” is on, carry out medium speed
warming up. Confirm the warming up time.
1.4.3.10.4 The unit starts up after long shutdown in the mode of IP cylinder startup, warm up for 240min in
the speed of 1500 r/min. Increase the speed to 3000 r/min with the rate of 100 r/min /min after warming

motor of turning gear stops rotating, the green lamp will light.
1.4.3.11.3 Operating time is not permitted to be delayed in the critical speed area. Steam turbine speed
should be increased quickly and stably when it passes the critical speed area, therefore, steam turbine
cannot be controlled by EHG program in the critical speed area.
1.4.3.11.4 Metal temperature difference between inner wall and outer wall should be as small as possible
and should be less than the rated allowable limit value.
1.4.3.11.5 Check the unit cylinder expansion and differential expansion. If the indication of differential
expansion is close to red band region, decrease the steam temperature and speed to reduce the differential
expansion. If the differential expansion of HP & IP cylinder is in red band region, shut down immediately
and start up turning gear to drive the shaft to make the cylinder temperature match with the rotor
temperature. If the differential expansion of LP steam turbine is in orange band region, it is not necessary to
shut down but take other measures until the indication of differential expansion is lower than the value of
orange band region because the unit tripping in the orange band region may cause rotor elongation, which
may make the indication of differential expansion get to the red band region.
1.4.3.11.6 Vibration checks. Check and confirm that the vibration probe of steam turbine supervise
instrument (TSI) is in normal operation. If vibration exceeds the standard, it should be shut down
immediately.

b. There is emergency governor test required in the List of Regular Operation Test.
1.4.3.13.4 Carry out oil charging test first and then overspeed test if the emergency governor has been put
into operation or adjusted after the unit speed is constant and before synchronization.
1.4.3.13.5 After the steam turbine reaches rated speed, close motor startup pump (MSP) and auxiliary oil
pump (TOP) and choose “auto startup” mode. After closing the above pumps, check and confirm that the
oil supply pressure of bearing is normal and the green light is on.
1.4.3.13.6 Exhaust mental temperature of HP & IP cylinder should be monitored during warming. Control
the mental temperature of HP exhaust cylinder at about 250 ℃. The target value of medium speed warming:
air inlet part of IP inner wall reaches 320 ℃, HP governing stage inner wall temperature reaches 320 ℃,
the corresponding IP exhaust temperature reaches 240 ℃ and the expansion of HP & IP cylinder is more

Chapter 3 Precautions for Unit Startup
3.1.1 It is forbidden to supply steam to steam seal when the unit starts up but the rotor of main unit is not
rotating, and it should supply steam to steam seal an then extract vacuum no matter in cold or hot startup.
3.1.2 Prevent main steam and reheated steam temperature from fluctuating significantly and strictly prevent
steam with water after the steam turbine starts up.
3.1.3 In the whole process of startup, pay attention to confirm that the water level of condenser, deaerator,
heater, condensate make-up tank and stator cooling water tank is normal and oil level of each main oil tank,
fire-resistant oil tank, seal oil tank and oil tank of feed water pump steam turbine is normal and the oil
temperature is in accordance with the requirements.
3.1.4 Put lubricating oil temperature and fire resistant oil to AUTO after impulse starting of main unit,
3.1.5 Listen carefully to the friction sound of unit on site during acceleration of steam turbine. Shut down
and find out the causes if there are any abnormities.
3.1.6 Ensure that the HP bypass flow rate meets the switch requirements when it operates in switch region.
3.1.7 After the shutdown of TOP and MSP oil pump and jacking oil pump, put them to standby in time.
3.1.8 Try to control the steam turbine metal temperature rise rate after synchronization because steam flow
and boiler combustion rate is increasing and main steam and reheated steam temperature rise very quickly.
3.1.9 Adjust the steam temperature and load to reduce the difference between mental temperature and steam
temperature. If mental temperature is higher than the steam temperature, run up quickly or increase the
steam temperature quickly. If mental temperature is lower than steam temperature, maintain the current
steam temperature or the load. It cannot be allowable to use the methods of reducing temperature or
reducing the load to adjust the temperature difference between mental and steam.
3.1.10 Maintain initial load until steam outlet temperature of LP cylinder cools to below 52℃. Pay
attention that the exhaust temperature of LP cylinder should not exceed 80℃ before synchronization of
generator. Put LP cylinder spray into operation and the spray control valve will start to open when the
temperature of exhaust cylinder ≥47℃ and open to full when the temperature reaches 80℃.
3.1.11 Switch the shaft seal diverter valve to #8A LP heater in time after the unit is in normal operation,.
3.1.13 Choose the control mode according to the generator and boiler conditions when the unit load is >
30% rated load.

Part 3 Unit Operation
1.1 Operators for all positions should record the indications of meters regularly and correctly according to
the requirements of operation log and completely record the abnormity of unit on duty and operation in the
duty record.
1.2 Perform routine inspection to the equipment regularly and routinely when the unit is in operation or
standby. Perform inspection focusing on oil system to prevent the accident of fire disaster caused by oil
leakage. When some problem is found, Report and contact the relevant departments in time to remove them
if there are any problems and record the equipment defects in the Defect Recoding Book so that positive
preparations can be made aiming at the equipment defects. Do not affect hot work sampling when isolation
measures are taken, remove the protection that may be operated by mistake with confirmation by
thermodynamic personnel and approval by general engineer if necessary.
1.3 Check the operation condition of unit and monitor the indication of meters regularly. Find out the
causes when the meter indication is found to have difference with the normal value. When the equipment
has faults, contact and report in time and take necessary measures. Current, sound, temperature, vibration
and bearing oil level etc. of all operating equipment should be normal.
1.4 Standby equipment should be in good standby condition and interlock is in ON position.
1.5 Pay special attention to the operation condition of unit in the following conditions:
1.6 Adjust the operation mode reasonably in time and analyze and handle the abnormity of equipment to
ensure safe and economic operation.
1.7 Monitor and adjust the bearing steam pressure of turbine to prevent the air from getting inside and
steam leakage according to the change of load.
1.8 On-duty operators should do the regular test and switching of equipment well according to the rules and
are entitled to supervise the relevant personnel to do the preventative maintenance work for the equipment,
such as regular oiling for the equipment, medium, test, regular screw tightening and flushing gauge pipe
etc.
1.9 Closely monitor the operating parameters and operating conditions during equipment operation and the
equipment is strictly prohibited to operate beyond output except for accident treatment.
1.10 Strengthen routine inspection and monitor to the equipment newly put into operation or operate with
faults.
52
1.11 Relevant auto adjustment should be released depending on the circumstances by personnel on duty if
there are any abnormal operating conditions or the unit operating conditions change obviously and carry
out manual adjusting to make all the operation parameters of unit stable. Be careful when releasing AUTO
and operating manually. Do not adjust too much when adjusting the load of coal mill, blower fan output
and main and reheat steam temperature and contact and cooperate with each other to prevent operating
parameters from fluctuating in a large range and to avoid causing abnormity of unit or accident expansion.
1) Allowable startup times of squirrel-cage motor in cold and hot state should be enforced according to the
regulations of manufacturer, or confirm the times according to the mechanical characteristics and startup
conditions if there are no regulations of manufacturer. Normally, it is allowed to start up twice in cold state
with interval not smaller than 5min and it is allowed to start up once in hot state; only motors under
accident treatment and with startup time not exceeding 2~3s can be started up once more.
2) Closely monitor the changes of startup current when the motor starts up. Stop the motor if the current
doesn’t return for a long time after startup or the ammeter pointer doesn’t move and motor doesn’t rotate
after closing, start it up again after finding out the causes.
3) Contact the relevant personnel in advance before starting up large-scale motor or DC motor by the
on-duty personnel except the condition of accident, but it is necessary to inform the relevant personnel after
treating the accident.
4) When the motor in standby is put into operation automatically, first close the interlock switches and then
recover the switch and signal device of trip equipment.
5) Pay attention to the power DC mains voltage when the DC motor starts up.
6) The motor should be started up one by one and it is generally not allowed to start up two or more motors
simultaneously on the same mains.
7) It is prohibited to start up in the condition of motor reverse rotation (except for the motor specially
specified).
53
Chapter 2 Unit Operation Mode
2.1.1 The unit can operate under the coordinated control mode in the load range of 30%~100%. It should be
operated in the coordinated control mode as long as the system has no faults. Coordinated control mode
should be gradually put into operation when three sets of mill are put to AUTO during unit startup. Choose
the control mode of unit according to the equipment health level in normal operation.
Quickly release coordinated control and switch to manual adjustment in case of one of the following
conditions:
2.1.1.2 Regulating property becomes weak, main parameters of unit deviate from the normal control range
and cannot recover for a long time.
2.1.1.3 Main steam pressure increases continually but main steam temperature falls sharply when the unit is
operating with high load.
When both boiler controller and turbine controller are in the manual mode, control mode is basic mode.
2) RUNBACK loop
Main task of unit load control loop is: deliver to the main control system of boiler and steam turbine
respectively as load set value after treatment according to all the exterior load demands that can be accepted
by unit; there are three subloops: load control station, max and min restriction loops and change rate
restriction loop.
1) Load control station: the unit load demand is given by ADS IP governing load demand (10C01-ADS) in
normal operation, or it can be set by operators manually if ADS is not required. Load demand control
54
station operates in manual tracking mode (actual load tracking) when one of the following conditions is
satisfied:
d) RUN BACK;
2) Max and min restriction loops: load demand will obtain the appropriate demand output by the restriction
of load demand signal delivered by ADS through max and min operation loops when AGC is put into
operation.
3) Restriction loop of load demand change rate: SPC will transform the step signal changed by load to ramp
signal changed by using change rate restriction loop; the limiting rate is mainly from two aspects:
4) When one of the following conditions is met, there will be block increasing signal, load cannot be
increased.
a) The opening of any one of the primary air fan inlet control valve is > 98%;
b) The opening of any one of the blower inlet moving blade is > 98%;
c) The stationary blade opening of any one of the induced draft fan is >98%;
g) Blower surge
i) Fuel main controller deviation (SP — FUEL) is larger than certain value;
5) When one of the following conditions is met, there will be block decreasing signal, load cannot be
reduced:
55
d) DEH blocking load change;
The load demand passing the limiting loop will be delivered to main controllers of boiler and steam turbine
as unit load demand after computing with the max available treatment signal actually accepted by the unit.
When this unit plant is in normal operation and after putting it into CCS, send ADS request signal; put
AGC into operation after approval (put unit load set value block to AUTO), then it will be in remote control
state.
The main function of RB loop is to calculate the max and min allowable load value, which includes max
and min available computing loop. When RB happens due to the fault of auxiliary unit, its max available
output will receive different limitation of change rate according to the different auxiliary unit faults.
a) The unit has seven sets of coal mills, sum the upper limit value of each coal mill in this loop and
transform to percentage (add fuel oil flow rate signal). The max output will be 30% of unit load if there is
no cola mill in operation.
b) The unit has two sets of primary air fan, each of which operates with 60% load.
C) The unit has two sets of blower, each of which operates with 60% load.
d) The unit has two sets of induced draft fan, each of which operates with 60% load.
e) The unit has three sets of feed water pump, two sets of steam pump can provide 100% load in normal
operation and one set of power pump is with 50% load.
f) The unit has three sets of boiler water circulating pump, each of which is with 60% load (if RB occurs )
g) The unit has two sets of air preheater, each of which is with 60% load.
Work out each max available output according to the number of the above auxiliary units put into operation,
calculate each max available output value, form the max available output signal of unit through integration
of small block.
The operation signal will pass one post deferred block in some auxiliary unit computing loops, of which the
purpose is that if the equipment starts up again in the specified time, RB signal is not sent any more, if not,
send RB signal.
When max allowable load of unit is larger than 95%, add 10% overmeasure to ensure that RB will not
occur if the load fluctuates in the range of 10% in the condition of unit operation with high load, such
design is very useful to the unit operating closing to or reaching 100% full load.
Work out the min allowable load of each set of coal mill according to the operation condition of coal mill,
and work out the min allowable load after summation and integration with fuel oil flow rate.
3) RB limiting loop
When RB occurs in the unit, the output of unit load control output station will switch to max allowable load,
but max available output calculated by RB loop will have a substantial step change. Consider to limit the
change speed of max available output in this loop to avoid the impact to the unit caused by the signal.
56
The speed down of RB caused by combustion system is 10%/min, other cut back speed of RB of this unit is
40%/min. Normally, the speed down rate that limits the boiler feedback signal is 10%/min. If the actual
load is larger than the max available output of some equipment, by comparing the max available output of
all kinds of equipment in max available output loops with the actual load of boiler, it means RB is caused
by the abnormity of the equipment; at this moment, trigger RS trigger of this equipment. In the meanwhile,
the speed governing loop of the equipment will work.
2.1.2.2.4 Reset of RB
1) Reset on OM manually
2) Automatic reset: RB will reset automatically in the following conditions when the RB signal disappears:
b) 10YK001 XC46
c) 10YK005 XC46
1) There are two kinds of frequency modulation process: one is the unit takes corresponding load
increasing or decreasing measures by feeling the changes of grid frequency directly, that is primary
frequency modulation. The other one is that the network control center monitors the deviation of grid
frequency and distributes to the frequency modulation unit on the network in the form of load demand, that
is secondary frequency modulation. The one mentioned here is primary frequency modulation process,
which will be put into operation only in the coordinated control operation mode of unit.
Frequency correction signal is efficient only if the following conditions are satisfied.
c) Power signal is OK
d) No RB
2) Turbine controller feels the changes of grid frequency and transforms them to the form of load deviation,
which will be sent to the frequency correction loop, of which the function is to send the deviation signal to
boiler main controller and pressure set value loop to make boiler response quickly. When frequency lowers,
boiler demand will increase, and when frequency rises, boiler demand will decrease, frequency is corrected
to 50Hz through the combined action of boiler and steam turbine main controllers.
3) Loop analysis: load deviation signal coming from steam turbine is transformed to percentage via a
coefficient. When frequency correction signal (XV01) is inefficient, CCS will not response to frequency
deviation. When the conditions are satisfied, deviation signal will pass through multiplying unit, speed
limitation block and analog switch and CCS will take part in frequency modulation normally.
Deviation signal is restricted by the deviation signal between max and min available output and unit load
57
demand. It is not allowed to reduce load demand by frequency difference response when load demand is
smaller than min allowable load; it is not allowed to reduce load demand by frequency difference response
either when load demand is larger than max allowable load to control the load changes caused by frequency
changes in an allowable range for safe operation of unit.
Load deviation signal will be sent to boiler and steam turbine main controllers via a speed limitation block.
1) Constant pressure and sliding pressure operation: the pressure control of the unit with high parameters
and large capacity has two kinds of mode:
a) Constant pressure operation mode: it means that the main steam pressure is kept constant during unit
operation. Advantages: working condition is stable, regulation is simple, and energy storage of boiler is
constant under different load and responds quickly to load changes, saturation temperature of steam is
constant, its wall temperature difference changes of steam drum and header is small and the change rate of
allowable load is relatively large. Disadvantages: control steam valve opening of low-load turbine is small,
throttling loss is large. The generator output can be changed by changing the opening of steam turbine
control valve when the unit is under constant pressure operation to keep the unit pressure constant.
b) Sliding pressure operation mode: generally, unit plant operates under slide pressure in certain range, but
operates under constant pressure in the condition of relatively low and high load. The whole unit can realize
whole pressure control: pressure control is realized mainly depending on bypass system in ignition and low
load, at this moment, CCS pressure set value will track main steam pressure; when main steam pressure is
higher than min pressure and turbine is synchronized, bypass will be removed and pressure control will be
transferred to CCS control; when main steam pressure reaches max pressure, pressure set value will be
maintained at the set value.
In the stage of startup (constant pressure operation XA11), pressure set value XQ01 is made to track main
steam pressure in front control steam governing valve through the action of 10YK0006 XV04 (main
controller of steam turbine is in AUTO) signal. As the main steam pressure is controlled by HP bypass in
the stage of startup, HP bypass control system has its own pressure control loop. When startup stage is
finished, the unit will be in normal operation and the pressure set value will be transferred to the
corresponding constant pressure or sliding pressure set value smoothly.
Operators should give a min pressure set value on OM, when the pressure set value corresponding to the
unit load demand is smaller than min pressure set value, the system will operate in constant pressure mode,
during which the change rate of pressure set value will be limited by a speed limitation block. When boiler
flame fails, pressure set value will track the actual main steam pressure, which avoids the pressure
decreasing too fast to make the steam of turbine with moisture.
Pressure set value of sliding pressure operation is formed by adding a 0~20% regulating valve to boiler
load demand (regulate 0~20% on the display of OM). The boil load demand will increase gradually along
with the increasing of load during the constant pressure operation of startup stage. When set value is larger
than the min pressure, it will go to sliding pressure operation mode.
58
In sliding pressure operation mode, the changes of total load demand results in the changes of pressure set
value. Due to the changes of actual boiler load, namely the production of steam needs a process, the
changes of actual pressure also needs a process. The pressure controller of boiler and turbine should not act
on the delayed pressure working condition, therefore, the changing process of pressure set value should be
matched with the producing process of actual steam quantity, in this way, two inertial elements are added,
inertial time parameter of one is steam quantity producing time and the other is boiler heat storage time, the
demand of inertial element is determined by the used boiler model and its proper inertial.
Boiler main controller loop is the interface of load demand loop and combustion control system, that is, the
corrected unit load demand will be sent to air quantity control loop and fuel control loop through this loop
to coordinate the matching relation between boiler output and load demand. This loop can not only operate
in AUTO but operate in manual mode and it can complete the control functions of unit plant under all kinds
of conditions. The two PID regulators in main controller play an adjusting part in CCS mode and BF mode
respectively.
When the unit is in CCS, boiler main controller is in AUTO, BOILER DEMAND formed by this loop
mainly depends on the load demand of unit main controller and regard it as feedforward. CCS is based on
BF, that is, turbine side controls load and boiler mainly maintains main steam pressure. Once the unit
changes load, the boiler is required to change air output and fuel charge immediately to adapt to the load
change of turbine side and synchronize with turbine as far as possible. Therefore, a overheat load single is
overlapped on the boiler main controller loop to provide overshoot for load change, and at the same time,
use first order inertial element in the steam turbine main controller loop to wait for steam producing form
the boiler to realize unit coordination.
When grid frequency changes, pressure deviation must exist, only in this way pressure set value correction
signal will form on pressure correction loop, in the meanwhile, overload signal will be formed to be
overlapped to the feedforward signal of boiler demand. This feedforward signal will provide lead for boiler
to make it respond quickly to the changes of grid frequency.
When the unit is in CCS mode, the function of boiler main controller is to maintain main steam pressure to
be equal to the set value, therefore, it also includes a pressure control loop in the boiler main controller loop,
the main steam pressure signal and pressure set value signal form a pressure deviation signal.
If pressure deviation signal exceeds one limitation, it means pressure deviation is too large that the boiler
main controller cannot regulate completely, at this moment, send a signal to the turbine main controller to
make the turbine restrict the opening of control valve to maintain the steam pressure together.
2) Boiler following mode: the boiler will be in following mode when the following conditions are satisfied
simultaneously:
a) There is no RB
d) Unit synchronization
3) Bumpless switching of coordination and tracking: when boiler is in CCS, PID2 will be in tracking state
and the two ends of analog switch will be equal, which realizes bumpless switching.
Turbine main controller loop is equivalent to the interface between load demand loop and steam turbine
controller. The analog change-over switch is the deviation of main steam pressure and set value in TF mode.
Input of analog switch is the deviation of generator power and set value (the sum of unit plant demand after
passing through the inertial element and frequency deviation and the difference of unit plant demand after
passing through the inertial element and pressure deviation) when it is not in TF mode. The demand signal
sent to the steam turbine at last is a switching value signal.
If design coal is used as fuel, certain load demand change will corresponds to certain fuel quantity change,
then the boiler combustion system can adapt to the requirements of boiler capacity, however, if the heat
value of coal changes, certain fuel quantity will not obtain the boiler output when the corresponding design
coal heats. Therefore, use steam flow signal to create correction factor in heat value correction loop, which
will be multiplied by the fuel control loop of mill to correct the coal caloric value automatically to make the
fuel quantity response to the change of coal property quickly.
Heat value signal is prohibited to be put into operation in the following conditions,:
f) RB
The change of fuel quantity means the change of air output. The effect of heat value correction is slow and
oxygen correction signal is put into the air flow control system, therefore, there is no need to put heat value
correction into the control loop of blower.
In the condition of constant load, caloric value change of coal will cause the change of steam flow and
main steam pressure, at this point, if the unit operation is in CCS while caloric value correction is in
calculation, the pressure regulator of boiler main controller will also conduct pressure regulating. As the
adjusting speed of pressure adjusting loop is very fast and the process from correction signal of caloric
value correction loop changing fuel quantity to the boiler output changes is very long, the unmatched
adjusting speed of both will disturb the system operation obviously. The deviation of sending the
60
corresponding caloric value correction signal to pressure regulator of boiler main controller will come into
being while sending the caloric value correction signal to load control loop.
Turbine controller is independent of LDC, it is boiler following 1 (BF1) when the boiler controller is in
AUTO mode. At this moment, if LDC is in BF1, choose 2 (BF2), then the turbine controller will cooperate
with LDC.
If the turbine controller is in MANUAL mode but boiler controller is in AUTO mode at any time, LDC will
be forced to BF1. LDC can be switched from BF1 to BASE by placing boiler controller in MANUAL.
If LDC is in TF2 mode, choose BF2 mode directly, LDC will enter BF2mode.
It is turbine following 1 (TF1) when the boiler controller is in MANUAL and turbine controller is in AUTO.
At this moment, if LDC is in TF1, it will enter turbine following 2 (TF2) when choosing boiler controller at
AUTO.
If LDC is in BF2, choose TF2 directly and then LDC will enter FF2. If LDC is in CCS, choose TF2, LDC
will also enter TF2 mode.
LDC will switch from TF2 to TF1 as long as the boiler controller is in MANUAL in the TF2 mode. When
turbine controller is in MANUAL, LDC will switch from TF2 mode to BF1 mode. Drop out step by step
when there is need to drop out of CCS and avoid direct switching.
CCS control mode, which includes CBF (boiler main controller is main tracking) and CTF (turbine main
controller is main tracking), can be realized when both boiler controller and turbine controller are in AUTO.
The BF mode of LDC when turbine controller is in AUTO is the Boiler following mode, or LDC is in TF
mode when boiler controller is in AUTO, or both can enter ADS mode under the CCS mode. Remote
dispatcher is allowed to control the unit load by ADS under ADS mode.
As BF mode of ADS is boiler following mode when turbine controller is in AUTO, TF mode or CCS mode
may occur when boiler controller is in AUTO, therefore they can be switched with each other. ADS mode
will be switched to original control mode automatically in the following conditions: BLOCK INCREASE,
BLOCK DECREASE, remote dispatching invalidation and RB. Max and min load limit values of LDC are
still valid in ADS mode.
LDC runs back in the following conditions when the unit operates in CCS mode:

2.2.1 All the protection and interlock of all the operating and standby equipment must be put into operation.
Specified examining and approving formalities are necessary when they are out of service due to any
problems. Contact the thermodynamic personnel immediately to release the protection that may misoperate
to prevent misoperation of protection after confirming that it is the fault of measuring loop or measuring
element if abnormity of one parameter is found during operation. After power equipment trips, electric
protection must be checked if they operate and then confirm thermodynamic protection; if the causes of
tripping is not clear, the equipment cannot be put into operation (except the treatment of accident). After the
interlock of standby equipment, interlock causes should be found out thoroughly, if it is caused by the fault
of original operating equipment, it should be stopped for checking and repair.
62
2.2.2 For generator-transformer unit, partial protection can be stopped in emergency, but two kinds of main

2.3.1 Cooling water systems such as industrial water, circulating water, opened circulating cooling water
and closed circulating cooling water etc. should be kept in normal and continuous operation to supply
cooling water for all cooling water users continuously.
2.3.2 Put the industrial water system into operation. The industrial water system should be put into
operation before the startup of the whole unit. Start up industrial water pump and put the standby industrial
water pump interlock into operation and keep the water level of industrial water pool.
2.3.3 The circulating water make-up pump should be started up to fill water to the system when circulating
water system is put into operation. After FOREBAY is full of water, then start up the first set of circulating
water pump. The second set of circulating water pump should be put into operation when the temperature
of condenser inlet circulating water is larger than 36℃; when circulating water system stops, ensure the
requirements of all opened circulating cooling water users and then stop circulating water pump.
2.3.4 Opened circulating cooling water screen and oil cooler cooling water screen should be put into
operation at first before putting the opened circulating cooling water system into operation, start up the
opened circulating cooling water pump and keep header pressure at 0.45MPa and put cooling water into
operation according to the condition of cooling water users.
2.3.5 Opened circulating cooling water system should be put into operation at first before putting the closed
circulating cooling water system into operation. Put the closed circulating cooling water system into
operation, start up the closed circulating cooling water pump and put it to AUTO and keep the pressure of

normal and put to AUTO.
2.4.1 When the unit starts up, HP auxiliary steam header is supplied by startup boiler house and LP
auxiliary steam is supplied by HP auxiliary steam after attemperating and pressure reducing.
2.4.2 After the unit starts up, supply of auxiliary steam can be switched to supply by itself in time as
required. When single unit operates, the startup boiler should be in operation. When double units operate,
the startup boiler should be in standby.
2.4.3 During single unit startup, when the unit load is >25%, auxiliary steam should be supplied by the cold
reheated steam of unit itself, when the unit load is >70%, switch from cold reheated steam to section no.4
extraction.
2.4.4 LP auxiliary steam is supplied by HP auxiliary steam after attemperating and pressure reducing when

normal condition, it is supplied by cold reheated steam of unit itself.
2.5.1 There are four kinds of operation mode for seal oil system to ensure that the hydrogen in the unit can
be sealed under all kinds of conditions.
2.5.2 During normal operation, one set of main sealing oil pump will operate, of which the oil source is
from main unit lubricating oil, that is, lubricating oil tank of main unit→ lubricating oil system→ sealing
oil vacuum tank→ main sealing oil pump→ differential pressure valve→ generator sealing pad →air
separation tank (oil return on hydrogen side to sealing oil expansion tank→ ball float valve →air separation
tank)→lubricating oil tank of main unit.
2.5.3 When main sealing oil pumps have faults or AC power supply loses, the operation mode of sealing oil
will be as follows: lubricating oil tank of main unit→ lubricating oil system→ DC sealing oil pump→
differential pressure valve→ generator sealing pad →air separation tank (oil return on hydrogen side to
sealing oil expansion tank→ ball float valve →air separation tank) →lubricating oil tank of main unit.
2.5.4 When sealing oil pump is fully stopped and lubricating oil is supplied, shut down urgently and
exhaust hydrogen to the pressure of the unit under 59kPa until main unit lubricating oil pressure can seal
the hydrogen, at this point, the operation mode of sealing oil is: lubricating oil tank of main unit→
lubricating oil system→ differential pressure valve→ generator sealing pad →air separation tank (oil return
on hydrogen side to sealing oil expansion tank →ball float valve →air separation tank)→lubricating oil
tank of main unit。
2.5.5 When main unit lubricating oil system is shut down and supply source of sealing oil is broken off,
sealing oil system can operate and circulate independently. Therefore, pay attention to keep relatively high
vacuum in the sealing oil vacuum bank, the operation mode of sealing oil is: sealing oil vacuum tank→
main sealing oil pump →differential pressure valve→ generator sealing pad →air separation tank (oil
return on hydrogen side to sealing oil expansion tank →ball float valve →air separation tank)→sealing oil
vacuum tank.
2.5.6 The vacuum in the seal oil vacuum tank should be above -90 ~ -96kPa during normal operation to
separate out and exhaust the moisture in the oil.
2.6.1 Rated hydrogen pressure in the generator is 450KPa, which should not be exceeded during normal
operation; when the pressure is lower than 416KPa, make up hydrogen in time. Hydrogen purity should
be > 98%.
2.6.2 Hydrogen of qualified purity should be filled in the generator before unit startup. After
synchronization, cooling water of all hydrogen coolers should be put into operation in time and the
temperature of cooling hydrogen should be kept at 46℃. After the unit parallel off, disable the hydrogen
cooler cooling water and moisture removal device.
2.6.3 Hydrogen moisture removal device should be put into operation and water should be drained off in
time if there is any in normal operation. Hydrogen humidity and purity should be tested regularly by
64
chemistry department and the Hydrogen Purity Table should be checked on time. When it is in normal
operation, hydrogen purity in the generator should be > 98% and hydrogen dew point temperature in the
generator should be -14℃~-25℃ and replace the blowdown device if it is not qualified. Generally,
humidity should not exceed 2.0 g/m3 (under rated hydrogen pressure). Blow down if the humidity is not
qualified.
2.6.4 Blow down the hydrogen make-up mains for 5min before hydrogen make-up in summer to avoid too
much humidity.
2.6.5 When the hydrogen in the unit decreases quickly, find out the leak point of system in time and start
the fan on the roof to prevent hydrogen accumulation.
2.6.6 Enough CO2 should be ever prepared on site (generally not smaller than 40 bottles) for exhausting
hydrogen in emergency. Hydrogen in the unit must be exhausted completely during unit overhaul.
Determine if it is necessary to exhaust hydrogen according to the time and working contents during minor
overhaul. Pay attention to exhausting the hydrogen in the dead angle when exhausting hydrogen.

Minimum flow valve of feed water pump can be opened manually in advance according to the conditions
of load.
4.3 Pay attention to reinforce the monitoring of each bearing vibration during sliding shutdown, trip
immediately when abnormal vibration occurs.
4.4 The unit should be prevented from operating for a long time under the load of 60MW as far as possible.
Trip the turbine manually to check that the HP & IP main stop valves, HP & IP control valves, each steam
extraction check valve and HP exhaust check valves are closed and VV valve and BDV valve are opened.
4.5 Pay attention that speed starts to reduce after tripping turbine; the vacuum breaking valve is forbidden
to be opened with speed above 2300rpm except in special condition.
4.6 Check that the jacking oil pump starts up automatically when the speed is 2500rpm, otherwise, start up
manually.
4.7 The drain valves to condenser should be closed before condenser vacuum reaching zero. Stop the shaft
seal system when the vacuum reaches zero.
4.8 Check that the turning gear motor starts up automatically after delaying 30s when the rotor is in static
state. Check and confirm that the turning gear equipment is engaged automatically, otherwise, put the
turning gear into operation manually. Record the rotor eccentricity, expansion and expansion difference of
HP & IP cylinder and the first stage temperature and axial displacement etc. of HP & IP cylinder after the
turning gear of main turbine is put into operation,
4.9 The lubricating oil temperature should be between 30℃ and 46℃ in the process of turning gear
operation to keep seal oil system of generator in normal operation. Carefully and regularly listen to the
sound of HP & LP shaft seal, strictly monitor the trend of cylinder mental temperature to prevent cold
steam and cold water entering the turbine.
4.10 Turning gear should operate continually until the first stage mental inner wall temperature of HP
cylinder is <150℃. The AC lubricating oil pump TOP of main turbine can be shut down when the wall
temperature is <130℃. The systems relevant to the turbine are strictly prohibited to be maintained during
turning after shutdown to prevent cold air from reversing to the cylinder. Any special occasions should be
reported to and the general engineer and the following specifications should be carried out:
4.10.1 Turning should not be stopped for over 3min when the first stage inner wall temperature of HP
cylinder is above 350℃. Perform turning continuously for 10min every time shut down for 1min until the
rotor eccentricity recovers to be normal.
4.10.2 Turning 180°or turning continuously until the rotor eccentricity recovers to be normal if there is any
78
emergency when the first stage inner wall temperature of HP cylinder is above 220℃.
4.11 When the boiler doesn’t need to feed water, shut down heating of deaerator, the motor-operated feed
water pump and condensate pump with only one circulating water pump in operation.
4.12 Shut down the last set of water circulating pump after the open recirculating cooling water is shut
down when LP cylinder exhaust temperature reduces to below 50℃,.
4.13 The generator seal oil induced draft fan and induced draft fan of bearing main return oil tank that are
shut down for standby should be kept in operating and extracted of the hydrogen that may escape into the
oil discharge system; the hydrogen alarm system should be put into operation.

decreases to tripping value but the protection does not operate. Immediately shut down if the steam
temperature decreases 50℃ sharply in 5min.
125
28.11 Closely monitor the water level of HP and LP heater and deaerator. Check that the protection operates
correctly when the heaters are full of water, otherwise, parallel off manually and check if the steam
extraction motor-operated valve and check valve are closed and switch feed water to bypass. Open the
steam extraction pipe for drainage.
28.12 Close the attemperating manual valve reliably after the HP and LP bypass systems are disabled.
28.13 The turbine should be considered as in operating state and continue to monitor the condenser water
level and metal temperature of each part of cylinder and read meters regularly after maintenance or standby
shutdown and before turbine cylinder temperature reaching the ambient temperature and the steam water
system is completely isolated. Close the motor-operated valve of cold section and section no.4 extraction of
this unit, close the condenser water make-up valve to prevent full water of condenser.
28.14 It is not allowed to stop supplying steam to shaft sealing before vacuum reaching zero after shutdown
to strictly prevent cold air getting inside. It is strictly prohibited to break vacuum during rotor idling and
pay attention to analyzing and recording idling time. It is strictly prohibited to supply shaft sealing steam
without turning. Close all the drainage valves to condenser before the condenser vacuum reaching zero and
then open the vacuum breaking valve
28.15 Carefully execute regular work and perform movement tests to main stop valve and each steam
extraction check valve. Report for treatment in time if any problems are found and drop out the
corresponding heaters if necessary.
28.16 The cylinder temperature should not be lower than when the turbine is stopped by sliding. The
cylinder rapid cooling is prohibited to put into operation when the cylinder temperature is above 350℃.
The HP and IP cylinders should be fully drained before the turbine is put to rapid cooling. Strictly execute
rapid cooling rules to control rapid cooling speed during rapid cooling. The main unit lubricating oil system,
turning gear, LP cylinder spray device, circulating water system and condensate system should be kept in
normal operation and stop rapid cooling immediately if any system drops out for faults. Suspend
immediately if there are any abnormities of cylinder temperature difference, differential temperature, rotor
eccentricity, etc. during rapid cooling.
28.17 It is prohibited to maintain the system related to the turbine proper during turning after shutdown to
prevent cold air getting into the cylinder. Approval is necessary and measures should be made in special
occasions.
28.18 The time for steam supply to shaft sealing under static state of low-power turbine should not exceed
20min and the shaft sealing pressure should not exceed 20KPa to prevent shafting bending of low-power
turbine.

Chapter 17 Start and Stop of Oil Purifying Device
17.1 Structure:
QYJB type oil purifying device is mainly made up of oil inlet valve, coarse strainer, coalescing separator,
oil inlet pump, oil outlet pump, heater, vacuum separation tank, condenser, vacuum pump, secondary filter,
ultra-fine filter, absorption regenerator, sampling valve, delivery valve, return valve, check valve, on-site
measurement and control equipment solenoid valve and automatic control tank etc.
Model: QYJB-12
Operation mode: Operate continuously or discontinuously and under positive or negative pressure.
Filter efficiency: 99.9% (filter efficiency is the percentage between oil quantity passed through the screen
and the total treated oil quantity)
Impurity content of outlet oil quality reaches 7th order of NAS standard and 4th order of SAE standard.
QYJB mode oil purifying device is divided into vacuum separation mode and coalescence separation mode,
different separation mode is adopted when steam turbine oil is under different condition. The vacuum
separation mode and coalescence separation mode will be introduced as follows respectively:
The vacuum separation mode (see the functional diagram) is adopted when steam turbine should be made
up with fresh oil or steam turbine unit is put into operation again after overhaul. At this moment, oil inlet
valve, coarse strainer, heater, solenoid valve vacuum separation tank, condenser, vacuum pump, oil outlet
pump, check valve, absorption regenerator, secondary filter, ultra-fine filter and delivery valve will operate.
185
Pay attention to observe the oil level condition in the vacuum tank to ensure the oil level in the middle
upper part of lower-vision hole when oil enter under this separation mode, if oil level is lower than the
middle part of lower-vision hole, adjust the gate valve on the oil inlet pipeline of vacuum tank to increase
oil inlet quantity.
Sample from sampling valve to test the oil after operate under vacuum separation mode for some time. Stop
the operation of vacuum separation mode for the operation of coalescence separation mode when the test
results of oil sampling satisfy the requirements of steam turbine operating. At this moment, oil inlet valve,
coarse strainer, solenoid valve, oil inlet pump, coalescing separator, water drain valve, check valve,
absorption regenerator, secondary filter, ultra-fine filter and delivery valve will operate.
The coalescence separation mode must be used when the equipment need online operation.

17.4.1.5 This unit is connected with the hose of oil storage container that should be purified, the inner sides
of connected pipeline must be cleaned and the liquid level of oil storage container should not be 500mm
lower than the inlet pipe of this unit.
Operators open the general oil inlet valve and oil outlet valve. Oil inlet pump and oil inlet solenoid valve
are controlled by PLC. Open the oil-gas separation switch on the control cabinet panel and in the
meanwhile, start up the oil inlet pump to enter oil-gas separation working process. Start up the STOP
switch to stop this system from continuing to work.
This system is mainly made up of vacuum pump, vacuum oil inlet solenoid valve, oil drain pump and
vacuum system, which is controlled automatically by vacuum switch and stop switch on the control cabinet
panel via PLC. Operators open the master oil inlet valve and oil outlet valve. Start up the vacuum switch;
system starts up the vacuum pump at first, the vacuum oil inlet solenoid valve will be opened for the
entrance of oil, which will enter the vacuum tank passing through the heater when the vacuum degree rises
gradually to about 0.08MPa after the vacuum extraction (in the meanwhile oil inlet and outlet solenoid
valves are opened) delays for 20s; oil drain pump will start automatically to drain oil when oil level reaches
the middle of part of low-vision hole (about 1min). When the system is in normal vacuum oil filtering
condition, rotate the stop switch on the panel to stop the working of vacuum system.
Notes: the oil-gas separation system cannot be started up when vacuum system is in operation. And the
vacuum system or manual oil return system cannot be started up either when oil-gas separation system is in
186
operation. (Vacuum system and oil-gas separation system are self-locking for each other).
When oil-gas separation system or vacuum system has faults and should be inspected, oil in the equipment
should be drained out to start oil return system. Open the oil outlet valve and open the manual oil return
switch on the panel, the oil return system will work automatically, and then open the vacuum pump and
start oil drain pump after delaying for about 1min, in the meanwhile, the return oil solenoid valve should be
opened while the oil-gas separation solenoid valve and vacuum oil inlet solenoid valve should not be
opened. If the oil in the vacuum tank is not drained out, start the oil drain pump to drain out oil manually.

make the automatic back wash device operate normally.
17.5.6 When oil differential pressure of secondary filter inlet valve and outlet valve reaches 0.35MPa,
differential pressure signal generator will send out alarm signal and oil transfer pump will stop; stop oil
purifying device immediately and contact maintenance personnel to replace filter element.
17.5.7 Listen to the working condition of automatic flushing device of automatic back wash oil filter
regularly, it will send out clear sound of “Crack" with the frequency of 60~100/min when it is in normal
operation, if there is no sound, it means that the automatic back wash filter device is abnormal, therefore,
inform the maintenance personnel for check and treatment.
17.5.8 Close the oil inlet valve from main oil tank or low-power turbine oil tank to the oil purifying device
immediately and completely isolate the purified oil tank from the oil purifying device when there is any
fault in the operation of oil purifying device.
17.5.9 When main unit and single low-power turbine should be made up with oil, stop the oil purifying
device and completely isolate it from the main unit or low-power turbine oil tank before oil make-up. Oil
make-up can only carried out for single oil tank, therefore, pay attention to isolate it from other oil tanks.
