It outlines 9 representative emergencies including partial load throw off due to high frequency or auxiliary failure, sudden load increases, high vibration, differential expansion issues, axial shift, loss of vacuum, high condenser level, and loss of barring gear. For each emergency, it describes probable causes and recommended remedial actions such as controlling steam parameters, checking instruments, maintaining oil pressure and temperature, and troubleshooting specific equipment issues to resolve the problem.

    HANDLING OF TURBINE DURING EMERGENCY

    EMERGENCIES IN TURBINE AND AUXILIARIES : In day to day life there can be any number of emergencies in Turbine operation. Thrust is given on representative emergencies. Following are the representative emergency operations and they are discussed one by one. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Partial load throw off (due to high frequency). Partial load throw off due to Aux. Failure. Sudden increase of load from full load Vibration high Differential Expansion high/low Axial shift high Loss of vacuum High level in condenser Loss of Barring gear or barring gear fails to start

    Following is the description of probable causes and remedial operation at the time of occurrence of such emergencies. 1) Partial load throw off (due to high frequency). Probable Reasons and Action to be taken:The steam pressure at ESV will increase: FSSS operator will control the boiler pressure. Governor will control the load. If it fails, then throttle the control valves suitably and maintain pressure to normal till the frequency comes down. The turbine load will decrease : There should be a constant watch on the supervisory instruments. Disturbance in differential expansion, vibration, axial shift, eccentricity.: Disturbance in condenser level : Adjust and maintain the hot well level Disturbance in vacuum :Check and adjust ejector steam pressure and gland steam pressure to normal Turbine lub oil temp will change : Deaerator pressure tends coolers water flow as necessary. Disturbance in Deaerator pressure : Deaerator pressure tends to fall, maintain it through extraction on 16 ate.

    Partial load throw off due to Aux. Failure. Probable Reasons and Action to be taken:There is a provision for initial load throw off by help of a relay without time delay which reduces turbine load to 100 MW in case of tripping of following equipments . One C.W. pump in case both are running: If the partial load relay fails / not in circuit reduce the turbine load and inform the boiler operator to control steam parameter in case one C.W. pump or one condensate pump trip. Careful watch may be kept on vacuum. Inform the local operator to check the cause of tripping. Maintain the deaerator and hotwell level.

    One BFP in case two are running and standby does not come on auto remote /not available. : One condensate pump in case two are running and standby dose not come on auto/ remote not available: And also due to tripping of any one of I.D. fan, F.D. fan P.A.fan.: In case of full load throw off (due to opening generator breaker): Unit trip on protection if it is kept on p . The turbine may trip due to over speeding : Close the control gear hand wheel If closing control valve can control the speed : Check that ESV and control valves are closed. immediately otherwise trip the Turbine by emergency trip button: Close the valves in the M.S. line. Close the Extr. steam valves. 3) Sudden increase of load from full load Probable Reasons and Action to be taken: Low frequency : Since the turbine is on governor control the load will increase due to fall in speed. Reduce the load by the control gear and bring the boiler parameter and load to normal. Due to sudden rise of boiler drum pressure.: Bring back the load /governing wheel pressure to normal by control gear and inform the boiler operator. 4) Vibration high Probable Reasons and Action to be taken: Normally the vibration in bearings should be within 40 microns. If it exceeds the limit, turbine should be shut down: Check the turbine cylinder drain should not be cold (if necessary open the drain valve for few minutes if turbine is on load). : Check bearing oil press flow and temp. to be normal . :Check for any rubbing sound etc. Turbine bearing oil press low : Reduce the load /speed. Check the main line pressure and maintain it. Bearing oil inlet temp. High :Check the cooling water valves are open in oil coolers and vent the coolers. Put the standby cooler in service, ensure C.W.P. is running normal. Check bearing oil outlet temp. (less then 65 c ). 5) Differential Expansion high/low Probable Reasons and Action to be taken: Normally the rotor gets long during running and gets short during shut down. The expansion is to be controlled by admitting steam or shutting off supply to flange and stud heating, chamber heating accordingly. In case if it goes beyond control, the machine to be tripped: Check the steam temp. reduce load / speed. Check the valve for flange heating is in open condition if rotor is long or close dlf rotor is short. Check and adjust gland steam temp. Check the vacuum to be normal 6) Axial shift high Probable Reasons and Action to be taken:In case of excessive shift the turbine will trip through the protection .

    Sudden change in load : Control the load and maintain the steam parameter. Abrupt change of steam parameter: Control the load and maintain the steam parameter Sudden closure of FCNRV of heater (HP/LP) : Control the load and maintain the governing pressure, if heaters are healthy open FCNRV. Variation in lub. Oil temp .pressure and quality : Maintain lub. Oil pressure and temp. for quality get the oil tested from laboratory and if necessary oil is to be changed. Difference of oil temp . from thrust bearing front & rear outlet should not be more than 3c. 7) Loss of vacuum If there be any loss of vacuum , start the standby ejector at the earliest. Still if it does not improve start starting ejector. With no further improvement of vacuum, reduce the load as required to maintain the vacuum at 700 MM. Meanwhile try to detect the specific reason which may be as follows : Steam ejector not properly functioning : Check that steam pressure in 6 kg/ cm. 8)High level in condenser Probable Reasons and Action to be taken: Malfunctioning of condensate pump or valve: Check the normal running of the condensate pump, start standby. Check the operation of valve from UCB by taking it to manual, if not all right control the hot well level bypass valve. Malfunctioning of DM make up valve : Close valve from UCB and watch that hot well level falls. Condenser tube leakage : If the above operation fails to control the hot well level, get the condensate water tested by laboratory to confirm the leakage .if the tube leakage is very high, it may not be possible to pump out the condensate from the condenser when the condensate level will gradually increase. Ultimately if the water level rises up to the air suction space of condenser , water will be sucked in to air suction pipe line of the ejector. When the same well be supercooled and ejector will not function. Shut down the turbine at the earliest to get the leakage attend. CW pump failure : If one pump is tripped , reduce the load. Meanwhile determine the cause of CWP failure and rectify the defects. Of course if both the CW pumps fails , there is no way out other then to trip the unit. Malfunctioning of DM make up valve Condenser tube leakage Air leak into system : Check scaling water pressure to valves under vacuum is normal. Check starting ejector air vale and vacuum break valve are tightly closed. Measure the amount of air leakage At air removal equipment outlet and investigate the source of leak. Condenser tube choking : Check the CW inlet and outlet temperature. 9) Loss of Barring gear or barring gear fails to start Probable Reasons and Action to be taken: For loss of electrical supply D.G. set will come automatically Otherwise start. : If not possible to start the DG set, attempt to turn the shaft by slings with the help of over head crane by 180c at regular intervals of 15 minutes after cutting in the D.C. emergency lub oil pump. Smoke from turbine seals. : Check differential expansions are normal Reduce seal steam temperature, if high.
