INTRODUCTION:
The boiler feed pump drive turbine (Machine Type: NK 63/71 -3) for the 660 MW turbine is featured with
two stop valves, yoke designed five control valve set. The BFP drive turbine design is optimized for
minimum inlet losses for the given set of varying steam parameters (viz. pressure, temperature and flow)
sourced from auxiliary steam source / cold reheat line or bleed steam line of 660 MW turbine. The boiler
feed pump drive turbine is equipped with Electro-hydraulic governing system, which maintains the speed
of the turbine corresponding to the set point signal from the feed water controller.
During start-up / shut down and low load operation of 660 MW turbine, steam to BFP drive turbine is
supplied from auxiliary steam header or cold reheat line. After sufficient load is achieved on the 660 MW
turbine, steam is sourced from the main turbine bleed. The governing systems for the BFP drive turbine is
designed for the change over from auxiliary steam /cold reheat lines or the bleed line and vice-versa as per
the logic diagram.
The other features of the BFP drive turbine governing system are a quick closing stop valves, over speed
protection, rotor axial motion protection, manual trip, remote trip though solenoids and remote
engagement of tripping device. The system also facilitates for on load testing of emergency stop valve and
over speed governor pin.

SPEED CONTROL:
The speed transmitters (SE 3400A,B & C) sense the turbine speed digitally and feed the actual
speed signal to speed controller. The speed controller gives output signal to Electro hydraulic converters
through ratio modules. The ratio module splits the out put signal of speed governor for main turbine
control valve and auxiliary control valve for smooth change over of steam source from bled steam header
to CRH header & vice versa as explained below. The split signal and over lapping (if required) can be fine
tuned during commissioning. The Electro hydraulic converters convert the electrical signal into hydraulic
signal (secondary oil pressure).
CHANGE OVER OF STEAM SOURCE:
1) The admission of steam to BFPDT is controlled by EHTC (Electronic governor) which gives an output to
regulate the main steam inlet governing control valve (0801) and Auxiliary steam inlet governing control
valve (0802).
2) The controller output is a function of the deviation between demand (speed set-point) and actual
speed.
3) The governing control valve (0801) and governing control valve (0802) operate in split range i.e. 0 to
50% of the controller output corresponds to 0 to 100% opening of governing control valve (0801) and 50 to
100% of the controller output corresponds to 0 to 100% opening governing control valve (0802).
4) If the demand (speed set-point) is achieved by throttling the governing control valve (0801) then the
governing valve (0802) remains closed. i.e. the demand is catered by the IP turbine Exhaust steam.

5) However if the demand (speed set-point) is not achieved even after fully opening the governing valve
(0801) then the controller output increases beyond 50% and governing valve (0802) starts to open. i.e. the
demand is catered by the CRH steam or Auxiliary steam (Source with Higher pressure).
6) When the IP exhaust steam pressure is sufficient to cater to the BFPDT then the CRH source is isolated
by closing the isolation MOV (LBQ72 AA201).

ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONVERTER (1800 A&B):

The Electro-hydraulic converters are connecting links between electronic and hydraulic
parts of Electro hydraulic governing system.
The output signal of electronic governor is fed to the torque motor of Electro hydraulic converter
(I/H). Torque motor positions the control slide, which in turn builds up the secondary oil pressure
proportional to the signal. This secondary oil pressure generated is transmitted to the control valve
actuator. I/H convertor 1800A caters to 0801 (main control valve on turbine) and 1800B caters to the
actuation requirements of 0802 (auxiliary control valve).

CONTROL VALVE ACTUATORS (Servomotors) (1910 & 1911):

Servomotors (1910 & 1911) position the main & Aux. control valves (0801 & 0802) corresponding
to the main and auxiliary secondary oil pressures generated by hydraulic amplifier. Servomotor mainly
consists of a pilot valve, a power cylinder and a feed back system. Upon
change in secondary oil pressure, pilot valve provides oil passages to and from power cylinder. The
movement of power piston is transmitted to the control valves through levers. The feed back lever resets
the pilot valve to its neutral position, once the power piston occupies new position corresponding to
changed secondary oil pressure. The system is such that the increase in secondary oil pressure causes the
control valves to open and vice versa for control valves to close.

EMERGENCY STOP VALVES (2301A & B) AND SOLENOID VALVES (2220, 2221A & B):
The identical emergency stop valves (2301A & 2301B) are of quick closing type and consist of a
spring-loaded piston, a piston disc, which is in turn connected to the valve cone through a spindle.
The emergency stop valve is actuated by means of solenoid valves (2220, 2221A & B) and a control
circuit built in the electronic control cubicle. The logic and interlocking part permits the opening of
emergency stop valve only when the control valve (0801) of the turbine is closed.
When the solenoid valves (2220 & 2221B) are energized, the start-up oil pressure builds up to the
right stop valve and PT (3328, 3329) will activate on pressure high. On activation of PT (3328, 3329),
solenoid valve 2221A will energize to build up the start up oil pressure to the left stop valve and PT (3313,
3316) will activate on pressure high. On activation of PT(3328,3329) &PT(3313,3316) the solenoid valve
2220 will de-energize and there by trip oil pressure builds up below the piston disc and PT(3312,3317)will
activate on pressure high. Solenoid valve 2221B is now de-energized, and the start up oil of the right stop
valve is drained through orifice (5611B).Stop valve right now opens and limit switch (ZSH3303) signal is
activated. On activation of limit switch (ZSH 3303) solenoid valve 2221A is de-energized to drain the start
up oil of the left stop valve and activating the limit switch (ZSH 3301).On opening of right and left stop
valves, limit switches(ZSH 3303 &ZSH 3301) are taken for start permissive of control valve(0801).The

opening and closing speeds of emergency stop valves can be set accurately with the aid of adjustable
orifices(5610,5611A &B) in the oil drain lines of the solenoid valves.
Stop valves are tripped mechanically on the loss of trip oil which holds the piston disc against the
spring force.
The stop valve is tripped mechanically on the loss of the trip oil which holds the piston disc against
the spring force.

TESTER (2309A & B) FOR EMERGENCY STOP VALVE:

Testing devices (2309A & B) are provided to check the proper functioning of emergency stop
valves (2301A & B) during normal operation of turbine. On operation of the testing device (a three way
valve), pressure oil is admitted into the space behind the test piston of the emergency stop valve, which
will then push itself against the piston and move the piston and valve spindle towards the closed position
partially. After ensuring the piston movement, the three way valve is turned off and normal position of the
stop valve is retained.

DAMPING DEVICE (5620A & B ) :

Damping device (5620A &B) damp out the quick oscillations in secondary oil pressure generated
by hydraulic amplifier. This helps in improving the stability of the governing system.

SOLENOID VALVES (2222A & 2222B) FOR REMOTE TRIPPING :

The turbine can be tripped from remotely from control panel by de-energizing the solenoid valves
(2222A&B) positioned in series. When solenoid valves are de-energized, it interrupts oil supply to
governing system and thus de-pressurizes it. Turbine trips immediately on loss of governing oil pressure.

HAND TRIP VALVE (2250):

Whenever the turbine is to be tripped, the governing oil pressure (trip oil line after trip valve) is
drained by trip valve. Thus, pressure in front of stop valve piston disc and secondary oil pressure falls,
resulting in closure of stop valve and control valves.

The hand trip valve (2250) is operated either manually or by loss of source oil pressure.

REMOTE ENGAGEMENT OF TRIP VALVE:

Hand trip valve (2250) can be put into operation remotely with the help of a control switch, i.e.
a pressure transmitter (PT 3324, PT3325& PT3326) and a solenoid valve (1050).
As soon as control switch is pressed, solenoid valve (1050) gets energized and oil flows into hand
trip valve (2250) and reset the trip lever. Soon after trip oil pressure is built up, solenoid valve gets de-
energized through the pressure transmitter (PT3324, PT3325& PT3326).

DUPLEX FILTER (4520):

The Duplex filter with 225 lpm 20 micron filtration is consist of filter head with change
over valve and two filter bowls which are removable for maintenance. The change over mechanism

facilitates redirection of fluid stream from the dirty to clean filter housing without reduction in flow. The
arrangement also provided with a maintenance indicator, which monitors the degree of clogging of the
filter elements. Arrows indicate which filter bowl is in operation. Closing of both filter bowls
simultaneously is not possible.
