After opening the ESV fully, give RUN command in Governor
panel.
62
Note: Give “Turbine Governor Permissive Clear” before giving the
Governor RUN command.
Ensure the Turbine Startup is accordance with Startup curves.
63
(Depends on Cold, Warm & Hot start-up).
Check the noise and vibration level, bearing temperatures and
64 lubrication system throughout the speed ramp up (The allowable
limits are given in the CRE logsheet).
Check for the Differential Casing Expansion, should not be more
65
than 3.5 mm at any given point of time, during speed ramp up.
After reaching 3000 rpm Switch Off the AOP and put in AUTO
66
mode, while ensuring the MOP take over.
67 If the exhaust casing temperature is higher due to no load
8|Page
condition ensure the opening of Exhaust hood spray,
After reaching to full speed no load and after attaining the
68 required casing temperature, close all drains to flash tank. (Only
orifice bypass valve and ESV vent should be in open).
69 Maintain the MS parameters as per start up curve.
If the Turbine is running smoothly, further we can start the
70 Generator Excitation and Synchronize with the grid and
thereafter load the machine.
STG AVR OPERATING :
Initial Condition Before STG AVR channel operation
Knife Switch at rear side of the AVR panel should be in OFF
71 condition (neither connected to Auxiliary Transformer supply
(415 V / 80 V) or Generator Transformer supply (11.5 kV / 85 V).
72 Remote & Local selection switch should be in Local selection.
73 Run & Quit selection switch should be in Quit selection.
EXC-S ON & EXC-S OFF selection switch should be in EXC-S OFF
74
selection.
75 AVR Field breaker should be in OFF condition.

AUTO TO MANUAL CHANGEOVER PROCEDURE:
86 Press + Button on AVR channel as shown in figure.
Then press – Button for selection from Auto to Manual and
87
Manual to Auto.
88 Then press ESC after the selection.
The selected mode will be indicated at left side of AVR channel
HMI.

SYNCHRONIZATION OF STG:
Initial Conditions Before Synchonization:
220 kV switchyard STG Generating bay 204 HVCB should be in
90
open condition.
220 kV switchyard STG Generating bay 204 89B, 89A& 89T
91
Isolators should be in open condition.
220 kV switchyard STG Generating bay 204 HVCB Marshalling
box, spring charging indication white Lamps (ILP3A, ILP3B and
92 ILP3C) should be in ON condition, Green lamp ILP1 (for HVCB OFF)
should be on ON condition and RED lamp ILP2 (for HVCB ON)
should be in off condition.
In STG control panel Breaker spring chraged LED will glow if the
93
Generating bay 204 HVCB breaker spring is in charged condition.
STG Protection Panel Mastertrip relays (86 GrA and 86 GrB)
94 should be reseted. Also no alarms and LED indications should be
observed in STG protection relay HMI (RET650).
STG protection panel and control panel rear side, all MCBs should
95
be in ON condition.
96 Live Bus available LED indication should be in ON condition.
97 Excitation ON LED indication should be in ON condition.
STEPS FOR STG SYNCHRONIZATION WITH THE GRID :
FOR AUTO SYNCHONIZATION:
First close the either of the BUS Isolators 89A (BUS-1) or 89B
(BUS-2) to the BUS with which generator will be synchronised. (In
98
STG Control panel 89B1 and 89B2 LED will glow respectively). (As
shown Figure-1).
Second close the 89T Isolator of STG Generating bay 204. (89B3
99
LED will glow). (As shown Figure-1).
100
Fig.1
10 | P a g e
Ensure that Live Bus available LED and Excitation ON LED will be
101 in glow condition, which indicates that synchronization PT supply
is healthy and Excitation is switched ON. (As shown in Figure-2).
Keep Auto / Manual selector switch to Auto selection. (As shown
102
in Figure-2).
Keep Dead BUS and Live BUS selector switch to LIVE bus
103 selection. (As shown in Figure-2). (Dead BUS synchronization is
not permissible).
Keep BUS-1 & BUS-2 selection switch with which BUS to STG will
104
be synchronized. (As shown in Figure-2).
Now as and when the SYNCH ON/OFF selector switch will be
105 switched on to SYNCH ON position, the STG will be synchronised
automatically. (As shown in Figure-2).
106
Fig.2
Note: In picture 89B1 depicts 89A, 89B2 depict 89B & 89B3 is 89T.
FOR MANUAL SYNCHRONIZATION:
First close the either of the BUS Isolators 89A (BUS-1) or 89B
(BUS-2) to the BUS with which generator will be synchronized. (In
107
STG Control panel 89B1 and 89B2 LED will glow respectively). (As
shown Figure-1)
Second close the 89T Isolator of STG Generating bay 204. (89B3
108
LED will glow). (As shown Figure-1).
Ensure that Live Bus available LED and Excitation ON LED will be
109 in glow condition, which indicates that synchronization PT supply
is healthy and Excitation is switched ON. (As shown in Figure-2).
Keep Auto / Manual selector switch to Manual selection. (As
110
shown in Figure-2).
Keep Dead BUS and Live BUS selector switch to LIVE bus
111 selection. (As shown in Figure-2). (Dead BUS synchronization is
not permissible).
Keep BUS-1 & BUS-2 selection switch with which BUS to which
112
STG will be synchronised. (As shown in Figure-2).
Select SYNCH ON/OFF selector switch to SYNCH ON position. (As
113
shown in Figure-2).
Now as and when the SYNC PERMITTED LED will glow,
114 immediately close the Generating bay 204 HVCB with help of TNC
SWITCH. (As shown in Figure-2 & 3).
