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:

Equipment Limitation CT generator 225 MW ST generator 270 MW HP boiler feedwater pump 50% unit capacity IP/LP boiler feedwater pump 50% unit capacity Condensate pump 50% unit capacity Circulating water pump 50% unit capacity Fuel oil pump 50% unit capacity




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 1–29 of this procedure are identical to steps 1–29 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.

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 2 – Cold Unit Startup – Manual

Purpose This provides instructions for safely and efficiently starting the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Combined Cycle Mode from cold conditions using manual controls. 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


• 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.


Equipment Limitation CT generator 225 MW ST generator 270 MW HP boiler feedwater pump 50% unit capacity IP/LP boiler feedwater pump 50% unit capacity Condensate pump 50% unit capacity Circulating water pump 50% unit capacity Fuel oil pump 50% unit capacity


electrical monitoring panel (EMP)) are listed at the bottom of each step in bold type. • Steps 1–29 of this procedure are identical to steps 1–29 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.

This procedure assumes the following initial conditions:

• Operating at a steady state

• Both CTs are operating with equal loading

• Steam turbine (ST) is operating with admission pressure (ADM) control

• ST auxiliary transformer is supplying plant electrical loads

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 Combined Cycle Power Plant load

maneuvering in the Combined Cycle Mode:

Operate equipment within its maximum loading limit and optimal range according to the following table:
