COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT


Standard Operating Procedure

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 1 Cold Unit Startup Automatic


Purpose
This provides instructions for safely and efficiently starting the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Combined Cycle Mode
from cold conditions using the automatic plant startup sequencer. The instructions include starting the auxiliary systems,
starting and synchronizing the combustion turbines (CT), establishing the heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), rolling
and synchronizing the steam turbine (ST), and ramping the unit load to full load (~720 MW).
This procedure assumes the following initial conditions:

Returning the plant to operation after a scheduled outage


AC electrical buses are de-energized
CT and ST Generator Hydrogen Seal Oil Systems are in service with the DC seal oil pumps operating
CT and ST generators are pressurized with hydrogen
ST Lube Oil System is in service with the DC lube oil pump operating
ST first stage metal temperature is < 200C (cold conditions)
Condenser hotwell, deaerator storage tank, and HRSG drums are drained
All clearances are released

Note: This procedure cannot replace intelligent logical reasoning by the operator, especially when coping with unforeseen
operating conditions that this procedure does not address. Therefore, this procedure should be used in conjunction with
applicable safety standards and common sense operating practices.
Limitations and Precautions
Observe the following system/equipment limitations and precautions during Combined Cycle Power Plant startup in the
Combined Cycle Mode:

Prior to starting equipment, direct the auxiliary operator (AO) to locally verify that the equipment is ready for startup
and that personnel are clear.
Prior to starting motors and pumps, verify that there is proper lubrication.
Ensure that pumps and piping are properly vented, charged, and warmed to avoid cavitation, water hammer, and
thermal shock.
Successive attempts to start a 6.9 kV motor will generate excessive heat that can damage the motor windings. Two
successive starts are permissible during initial starting from ambient temperature conditions. If a motor fails to start
on the second attempt, observe a 30-minute cooling period.
Hold the CTs at 50 MW until the chemistry technician reports that the steam plant water quality is satisfactory for
increasing load.
Some 416v motors will start when 416v bus supply breakers are closed resulting in an immediate load on the bus.
These motors cannot be operated from the simulator operator consoles and include both CT vent fans, bearing oil lift
pumps, lube oil pumps, seal oil pumps, seal oil vacuum pumps, mist eliminator and transformer cooling fans, and the
ST hydraulic cooler circulation pump, turning gear, emergency bearing oil pump, and the backup seal oil pump.
Operate equipment within its maximum loading limit and optimal range according to the following table:

ST generator
HP boiler feedwater pump
IP/LP boiler feedwater pump
Condensate pump
Circulating water pump
Fuel oil pump

Standard Operating Procedure

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 1 Cold Unit Startup Automatic


Procedure
Perform each step of the procedure in numerical sequence. As each step is completed, initial the space provided in the left
column before proceeding to the next step.
Note:
The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS, CT Mk-V, ST Mk-V, and
electrical monitoring panel (EMP)) are listed at the bottom of each step in bold type.
Steps 129 of this procedure are identical to steps 129 of Operating Procedure No. 2, Cold Unit Startup Manual
(OP2). The remaining steps of the two procedures differ. Use this procedure to start up using the automatic plant
startup sequencer. Use OP2 to start up using manual controls. Use OP6 to startup in the Simple Cycle Mode.
Identical parameters displayed on different screens may display slight value differences, and/or a have a slight delay
in updating. These update only when their values change by a predetermined amount. However, the overwhelming
majority will immediately update. This issue does not apply to Mark V or hardpanel screens.

The ST will accelerate at the SLOW RAMP (250 rpm/min), MED RAMP (500 rpm/min), or FAST
RAMP (750 rpm/min) rate, according to the ST surface stresses.
If any surface or rotor stress is > 60%, ST speed will hold at 834 rpm, 2500 rpm, and/or 3000 rpm.
Bearing vibration alarms are set at the maximum expected levels. While accelerating through a critical
speed, vibration levels may increase, but they should peak below the alarm setpoints and diminish rapidly
above the critical speed. Never stop accelerating at or near a critical speed.
If bearing vibration increases above the alarm setpoint without peaking and decreasing, return the ST to

Standard Operating Procedure

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 2 Cold Unit Startup Manual


Limitations and Precautions
Observe the following system/equipment limitations and precautions during Combined Cycle Power Plant startup in the
Combined Cycle Mode:

Prior to starting equipment, direct the auxiliary operator (AO) to locally verify that the equipment is ready for startup
and that personnel are clear.
Prior to starting motors and pumps, verify that there is proper lubrication.
Ensure that pumps and piping are properly vented, charged, and warmed to avoid cavitation, water hammer, and thermal
shock.
Successive attempts to start a 6.9 kV motor will generate excessive heat that can damage the motor windings. Two
successive starts are permissible during initial starting from ambient temperature conditions. If a motor fails to start on
the second attempt, observe a 30-minute cooling period.
Hold the CTs at 50 MW until the chemistry technician reports that the steam plant water quality is satisfactory for
increasing load.
Some 416v motors will start when 416v bus supply breakers are closed resulting in an immediate load on the bus.
These motors cannot be operated from the simulator operator consoles and include both CT vent fans, bearing oil lift
pumps, lube oil pumps, seal oil pumps, seal oil vacuum pumps, mist eliminator and transformer cooling fans, and the ST
hydraulic cooler circulation pump, turning gear, emergency bearing oil pump, and the backup seal oil pump.
Operate equipment within its maximum loading limit and optimal range according to the following table:
Equipment
CT generator
ST generator
HP boiler feedwater pump
IP/LP boiler feedwater pump
Condensate pump
Circulating water pump
Fuel oil pump

Limitation

Procedure
Perform each step of the procedure in numerical sequence. As each step is completed, initial the space provided in the left
column before proceeding to the next step.
Note:
The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS, CT Mk-V, ST Mk-V, and
electrical monitoring panel (EMP)) are listed at the bottom of each step in bold type.
Steps 129 of this procedure are identical to steps 129 of Operating Procedure No. 1, Cold Unit Startup Automatic
(OP1); however, the remaining steps of the two procedures differ. Use this procedure to start up using manual controls.
Use OP1 to start up using the automatic plant startup sequencer. Use OP6 to start up in the Simple Cycle Mode.
Identical parameters displayed on different screens may display slight value differences, and/or a have a slight delay in
updating. These update only when their values change by a predetermined amount. However, the overwhelming
majority will immediately update. This issue does not apply to Mark V or hardpanel screens.

60. ST Startup
Note:
The ST always starts with reverse flow. The intercept valves (IVs) open to accelerate the ST, steam
flows only through the IP and LP turbines, and the main control valves (V1/V1L) remain closed.
The ST will accelerate at the SLOW RAMP (250 rpm/min), MED RAMP (500 rpm/min), or FAST
RAMP (750 rpm/min) rate, according to the ST surface stresses.
If any surface or rotor stress is > 60%, ST speed will hold at 834 rpm, 2500 rpm, and/or 3000 rpm.
Bearing vibration alarms are set at the maximum expected levels. While accelerating through a critical
speed, vibration levels may increase, but they should peak below the alarm setpoints and diminish
rapidly above the critical speed. Never stop accelerating at or near a critical speed.
If bearing vibration increases above the alarm setpoint without peaking and decreasing, return the ST to
the turning gear.

Standard Operating Procedure

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 6 Unit Startup Simple Cycle Mode


Purpose
This provides instructions for safely and efficiently starting the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Simple Cycle Mode.
The instructions include starting the auxiliary systems, starting and synchronizing the combustion turbines (CT), and
ramping the unit load to full load (~450 MW).
This procedure assumes the following initial conditions:

Returning the plant to operation after a scheduled outage


AC electrical buses are de-energized
CT Generator Hydrogen Seal Oil Systems are in service with the DC seal oil pumps operating
CT generators are pressurized with hydrogen
All clearances are released

Note: This procedure cannot replace intelligent logical reasoning by the operator, especially when coping with unforeseen
operating conditions that this procedure does not address. Therefore, this procedure should be used in conjunction with
applicable safety standards and common sense operating practices.
Limitations and Precautions
Observe the following system/equipment limitations and precautions during startup in the Simple Cycle Mode:

Prior to starting equipment, direct the auxiliary operator (AO) to locally verify that the equipment is ready for startup
and that personnel are clear.
Prior to starting motors and pumps, verify that there is proper lubrication.
Ensure that pumps and piping are properly vented, charged, and warmed to avoid cavitation, water hammer, and thermal
shock.
Successive attempts to start a 6.9 kV motor will generate excessive heat that can damage the motor windings. Two
successive starts are permissible during initial starting from ambient temperature conditions. If a motor fails to start on
the second attempt, observe a 30-minute cooling period.
Operate equipment within its maximum loading limit and optimal range according to the following table:

column before proceeding to the next step.
Note:
The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS, CT Mk-V, and electrical
monitoring panel (EMP)) are listed at the bottom of each step in bold type.
Use this procedure to start up in the Simple Cycle Mode. Use OP1 to startup in the Combined Cycle Mode using the
automatic startup sequencer. Use OP2 to startup in the Combined Cycle Mode using manual controls.
Identical parameters displayed on different screens may display slight value differences, and/or a have a slight delay in
updating. These update only when their values change by a predetermined amount. However, the overwhelming
majority will immediately update. This issue does not apply to Mark V or hardpanel screens.

COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT


Standard Operating Procedure

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 7 Unit Shutdown Simple Cycle Mode


Purpose
This provides instructions for safely and efficiently shutting down the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Simple Cycle
Mode to standby conditions. The instructions include unloading the generators, shutting down the turbines, and placing
auxiliary equipment in a standby condition.
This procedure assumes the following initial conditions:

Operating at a steady state at minimum load or greater ( 160 MW)


Operating with block load control
Both combustion turbines (CT) are operating with equal load

Note: This procedure cannot replace intelligent logical reasoning by the operator, especially when coping with unforeseen
operating conditions that this procedure does not address. Therefore, this procedure should be used in conjunction with
applicable safety standards and common sense operating practices.
Limitations and Precautions
The following system/equipment limitations and precautions should be observed during a unit shutdown in the Simple Cycle
Mode:

Operate equipment within its maximum loading limit and optimal range according to the following table:
Equipment
CT generator
Fuel oil pump

Limitation
225 MW
50% unit capacity

Ensure that the following prerequisites are satisfied before shutting down auxiliary equipment:
Equipment
CT turning gear
CT lube oil pump
CT auxiliary cooling water pump
