The document discusses the need for turbine protection. Steam turbines operate at high temperature, pressure and speed, subjecting components to stress. Deviations in operating parameters can cause costly damage and outages. Accordingly, turbines must be tripped to protect from inadmissible conditions, prevent damage during plant failures, and restrict occurrence of failures. The turbine protection system aims to trip the turbine automatically under abnormal and unsafe conditions to prevent equipment damage.

NEED FOR TURBINE PROTECTION

 A steam turbine being rotating equipment, operating at very high


temperature, pressure and speed, is subjected to enormous stresses.

 Deviations in various operating parameters of a turbine may lead to


costly damages of various components, resulting in long outages.

 Accordingly, a turbine needs to be tripped for the following reasons:


1. To protect the turbine from inadmissible operating conditions
2. To prevent damages in case of plant failure
3. To restrict occurrence of failure to a minimum

GENERATOR MOTORING

 Motoring is the condition in which the turbine is driven by the


generator at rated speed with the stop/control valves closed.

 In this operating mode, longer blades of the turbine are heated up


due to blading windage.

 To prevent heat-up beyond permissible temperatures, motoring


must not be allowed to continue for longer than one minute.

 If the condenser vacuum is very poor, (i.e. condenser pressure is


high), motoring must not be allowed for more than 4 seconds.
