OBJECTIVE

THE OBJECTIVE OF STARTING UP

OF THE TURBOGENERATOR IS TO
BRING A UNIT ON LOAD AND
RAISE IT TO THE RATED OUTPUT
WITHIN THE OPTIMUM TIME BUT
WITHOUT UNDUE STRESSES ON
THE TURBINE COMPONENTS.

TYPES OF START UP
Turbine Start up are classified as
Cold, Hot & Warm Start up

Cold Start up If HPT metal Temp

Start up Considerations

During the startup the Turbine is subjected

to Non-Steady state operation.

This covers the operating cond

n
where Speed,
steam ressure

and temperature change with
time.

!nder these cond

n
turbine components which
are e"posed to temperature changes subjected
to therma# stress and e"pansion.

$or turbine #i%e point o% view, it is very much

necessary to #imit the e"tent o% these
temperature changes.

To take "are of the abo%e fa"tor the operator
