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

COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT 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 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.

COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT Standard Operating Procedure

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.

COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT 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 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. 1, Cold Unit Startup – Automatic

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.

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 3 – Load Maneuvering

Purpose

This provides instructions for safely and efficiently operating the Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Combined Cycle

Mode during load maneuvering between minimum load (~300 MW) and full load (~720 MW). The instructions include

maneuvering load with block load control and maneuvering load with manual control of combustion turbine (CT) load.

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:

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

Procedure

Perform the appropriate section of the procedure to maneuver load, either with block load control or with manual control of

CT load. When the appropriate section is completed, initial the space provided in the left column.

Note:

• The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS, CT Mk-V, and ST Mk-V) are

listed at the bottom of each step in bold type.

• Identical parameters displayed on different screens may display slight value differences, and/or a have a slight delay in

COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT 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:

Equipment Limitation CT generator 225 MW Fuel oil pump 50% unit capacity

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 6 – Unit Startup – Simple Cycle Mode

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, 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:

• Ensure that the following prerequisites are satisfied before shutting down auxiliary equipment:

Equipment Limitation CT generator 225 MW Fuel oil pump 50% unit capacity

Equipment Shutdown Prerequisites CT turning gear CT shutdown > 24 hours CT lube oil pump CT shutdown > 24 hours CT auxiliary cooling water pump CT shutdown > 24 hours

OPERATING PROCEDURE NO. 7 – Unit Shutdown – Simple Cycle Mode

Procedure Perform each section of the procedure in numerical sequence. As each section is completed, initial the space provided in the left column before proceeding to the next section. Note: • The various control displays that the operator uses to accomplish the procedure (DCS and CT Mk-V) are listed at the

bottom of each section in bold type. • Use this procedure to shut down in the Simple Cycle Mode. Use OP4 to shut down in the Combined Cycle Mode using

the automatic shutdown sequencer. Use OP5 to shut down 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.
