OVERVIEW

The purpose of this document is to explain and describe the implementation of Coordinated Master Control and Boiler Master Control used in this project.

COORDINATED MASTER CONTROL PURPOSE:

The purpose of this controller is to provide Load Set Point to Boiler Master and Turbine Master as per Unit Master Output when they are in Coordinated mode; while taking into account the Temperature Margins of Turbine and the margins of Fuel Master/Air Master/Feedwater Controllers. The controller also calculates the Unit Capability based on the availability of auxiliaries of the unit and ramps down the Load Set Point at a pre-set rate when one of the auxiliary trips. The various auxiliaries whose status is being monitored are as follows: ID Fan FD Fan PA Fan Primary/Secondary Air Pre Heaters BCW Pump Turbine CEP Pump CW Pump Mills

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: Automation System Structure:

The Automation of Coordinated Master Controller allows the Operator to set the Load Set Point from the MMI unit (OWS/LVS etc) of the DDCMIS or through Hand Manual Station located in the Central Control Room (CCR). It consists of Commands, Interlocks and Monitoring functions necessary to manage the system correctly. The operator can set the controllers in Cas/Man mode and vary the Unit Load SP.

OWS/LVS Operator Interface:

The following operator interfaces based on OWS/LVS operations are available in CCR. To Set Unit Load SP. Cas/Man Selection of controller.

Control Philosophy
Unit Master Set Point comes from Load Dispatch Centre. The output of Unit Master Auto Manual Station is fed to a Ramp Generator. The Ramp Generators output Rate of Change limit is set after detecting the direction of change while checking the Boiler margins. If Boiler margin (i.e., Fuel/Air/Feedwater Controllers deviations are within limit in the intended direction of change) the Ramp Generators output is allowed to change at a preset rate. A correction is applied to the set point according to deviation of frequency through a summer. The output of the summer block is passed further on to a Ramp Generator through a Switch if CMC mode is selected. If Boiler Follow mode is selected the input to the second Ramp Generator is the Delayed Load Set Point of Turbine Controller. If the Boiler is in Manual mode, Actual Load is fed as the input to the second Ramp Generator. The above said switching function is achieved using a Switch Block. The second Ramp Generator output is ramped according to the Output rate of Change limit. The output rate of change limit is calculated according to the direction of change. The output is allowed to change according to a rate of change if direction blocking is not present in the desired direction of change. Change in any direction is allowed only if the deviation of the following controllers are within a predetermined limit. The controllers whose deviation is monitored when an increase in SP is desired are: Feed Water flow Control Air Flow Control Fuel Flow Control PA Header Pressure Control The controllers whose deviation is monitored when a decrease in SP is desired are: Feed Water flow Control Air Flow Control Fuel Flow Control The rate of change of limit is the minimum of the following: Load Rate of Change limit set by the operator The rate of change limit calculated by the Turbine Stress Evaluator(TSE) according to the margin available in the direction of change desired if TSE influence is turned on. Otherwise a safety margin of 50% is considered. The direction of change is determined by comparing the difference between the input and output of the ramp generator with a direction specific numeric with a value of +1 or 1(adjustable). When the difference cross the limit the direction of change is sensed and the corresponding margin is selected. The upper limit of the Second Ramp Generator is the minimum of the following: Unit capability DOC. No : D0T195-302-CJY-E00 NTPC REF DWG : 4330-405-PVI-P-016 REV. 4

Write-up on CLCS COORDINATED MASTER CONTROL Max Load SP set by the operator. Max Load permissible by TSE.

Unit capability is calculated according to the auxiliary equipment availability. All the auxiliary equipments mentioned in the beginning of this section are monitored continuously and unit capability due to the individual equipments are compared with the Load SP and the minimum is selected as the SP to the Unit Capability ramp generator. When any one of the equipment trips the SP to the Unit capability ramp generator comes down correspondingly. The output of the Ramp Generator is brought down by Runback action. The runback rate depends upon the equipment that tripped. Maximum load permissible by TSE is calculated by adding the Upper margin provided by TSE with Actual Load. The lower limit of the second Ramp Generator is the maximum of the following: Minimum Load SP set by the operator Minimum Load Permissible by TSE.

Minimum Load permissible by TSE is calculated by subtracting the Lower margin provided by TSE from Actual Load. The output of the second Load Ramp Generator is passed on to the Turbine Load controller as Load setpoint after delaying the output (by using a second order delay element)and subtracting a value (bias due to Throttle pressure deviation when CMC mode is selected). The same output is fed as Feed Forward signal to Boiler Master after adding a bias due to Frequency Correction (if the Frequency influence is kept ON in EHTC) when the Boiler Master is in CMC mode.

BOILER MASTER CONTROL PURPOSE:

The purpose of this controller is to maintain Throttle Pressure of Main Steam at Turbine inlet around the Set Point. Boiler Master determines the Set Point for Air Master and Fuel Master when they are in Cas Mode. The Throttle Pressure SP is operator set when the Boiler Master SP is in Fixed SP mode and is dependent on either Boiler Load Index or Actual Load (Pre Set) when the SP is in Sliding Pressure Mode.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: Automation System Structure:

The Automation of Boiler Master allows the manipulation of Boiler Demand from the MMI unit (OWS/LVS etc) of the DDCMIS or through Hand Manual Station located in the Central Control Room (CCR). It consists of Commands, Interlocks and Monitoring functions necessary to manage the system correctly. The operator can set the controllers in Auto/Man mode and vary the recirculation flow.

Three independent measurements are available. The functional block MIDOF3 calculates the middle value. The operator has the facility to select between these 4 values (3 transmitters and Mid value) via GUI. Functional Blocks used: 3CJY00_01. 3TX_1: HILOAVG block for operator selection.

Control Philosophy
The Set Point is either determined by the operator or depends on Boiler Load Index depending upon the mode that is selected. If fixed SP mode is selected from MMI the SP is operator determined. When the same is not selected the SP is determined based upon either Boiler Load Index or Actual MW. Selection between the two is preset. The Boiler Master can be operated in two different modes. When the Boiler Follow mode is selected the controller with a Feed Forward signal based on either Boiler Load Index or EHTC Load Set Point is selected. The selection between the two-feedforward signals is preset. When Coordinated Mode is selected the controller with Unit Load SP generated by Coordinated Master as the Feed Forward Signal is selected for control. When Manual mode is selected or when Run Back in Action the Boiler Master A/M station trips to Manual mode. When Run Back in Action signal is present Turbine Follow mode Signal is automatically selected and the Unit capability comes down to match the available capability. This signal is factored (MW to Fuel Ratio) and given as Boiler Master output to the downstream controller viz., Fuel Master and Air Master signal respectively. This will result in reduction of Steam Generation to match the available Unit Capacity. The turbine controller switches to initial pressure mode and starts controlling the Throttle pressure simultaneously. In order to provide for tracking during manual mode a switch is provided. This switches the Boiler Master demand to actual Fuel Flow (in terms of Percentage) when Fuel Master controller is not in Cas mode. With the tracking option ON, the Boiler Master Auto Manual Station Output is made to track Actual fuel flow (Percentage value) when Fuel Master is in Manual mode. When Fuel Master switches back to Cas mode a bump is avoided as Boiler Master A/M output was tracking actual Fuel Flow. Operator can select the various modes of operation (Manual mode, Turbine CLCS COORDINATED MASTER CONTROL DOC. No : D0T195-302-CJY-E00 NTPC REF DWG : 4330-405-PVI-P-016 REV. 4
