Turbine Start Up

The document describes the four modes of starting up a turbine: cold, warm, hot, and extremely hot based on the first stage temperature. It then provides detailed steps and parameters for an initial cold startup, including starting ancillary systems, warming pipes, creating vacuum, lighting the furnace, monitoring temperatures, and admitting steam to reach operating speeds. Key valves, pressures, and temperatures are monitored throughout the startup process to ensure safe operation.

Turbine start up falls into one of the following four modes:

Cold start up : T* < 204°C


Warm start up : 204 ≤ T* < 408°C
Hot start up : 408 ≤ T* < 510°C
Extremely hot start up : T* ≥ 510°C ( *first stage temperature)

Initial cold startup of turbine


1. Start generator seal oil and hydrogen system to charge hydrogen to 0.2~0.25 Mpa
2. Start generator stator cooling water pump and put stator cooling water system into
service.
3. Start jacking oil pump and put TG on turning gear, record the turning gear
current and the shaft swinging value, which shall not be 0.0254 mm above its original
cold state value. Before rolling, turbo-generator shall be on turning gear continuously
for at least 4 hours.
4. Start motor driven boiler feedwater pump to fill the boiler as needed.
5. Warm auxiliary steam pipeline up and put it normal service. Warm up pipes from aux.
steam header to deaerator and to gland seal system for service
6. Close vacuum breaker valve, start vacuum pump and gland air fan to create vacuum,
confirm that there is no water in gland seal steam pipeline, then supply steam to each
gland pipes, keeping gland steam header pressure at 0.031MPa according to the
principle that there is no more steam out of gland and sealing well, temperature shall
be at 150°C, keeping negative pressure of gland steam condenser at approx 6.3KPa, it
is forbidden to supply steam to gland system when turbine is in stillness.
7. When condenser vacuum reaches 60 KPa, inform boiler operator to light up furnace.
8. Apply the LP casing sprayer when LP casing exhaust temperature exceeds 80°C.

observe tightness of each valve. Check that vacuum is maintained above 60KPa.

without carrying load, be sure to observe and maintain exhaust temperature not to
rise.
4. Then, inform electrical operator that the unit may be synchronized with an
initial load of 5%. Increase the unit load gradually to 7% rating at rate of 1MW/min
and keep this load for 30 minutes. Then apply put 1st stage pressure feedback or
power feedback as required.

operation for 4 hours. Then disconnect the unit from Grid and carry out
electrical overspeed test (include 103% rating OSP action test and 110% rating
electrical over speed test) and mechanical over speed test. (Measure rotor coast-
down curve during shutdown.)

Monitoring system of thermal expansion

Setting of Boiler thermal expansion center

In order to get the expected movement at three different directions during the Boiler operation, the
fixed expansin center is setup ,which is symmetrically laid out from left to right ,and 915 mm away
from the rear wall center line. Physically ,this is the crossing of the axial line of expansion point fixed,
the hanger –buckstay system is developed, which is olso the basis of each pressure part expansion
,piping stress and flexibility analysis calculation

Fluid temperature change at the outlet of any furnace pass must not exceed
the rate 1.85-2.0℃/min. .

Caution: More sootblowing is not necessarily better. Excessive blowing frequency and pressure
beyond what is needed to keep unit clean, will result in erosion damage to tubes.
