Gas Turbine - Generator Operation Course Course Description This site-specific course is designed to enable, supervisors, operations, and maintenance personnel to operate GE designed heavy-duty gas turbine generator units. The course develops a background in gas turbine generator support systems, and operations, which will enable participants to analyze operating problems and take the necessary corrective action. It will also detail the design and construction of the gas turbine generator. Emphasis is placed on the detailed description of the gas turbine - generator major components, the functions of their auxiliary systems, and the operator’s responsibilities with regard to systems operations, and operational data acquisition, and evaluation of anomalies thru the use of classroom instruction, class exercises, and use of a turbine - generator trainer. If the course is held at the customer’s location it will include site visits to familiarize personnel with the physical layout of the gas turbine - generator, and the location of the various system components, and provide personnel the opportunity to correlate the system piping schematics to the respective system hardware. Operators are instructed in how to interpret fault annunciation and how to determine if the annunciated fault can be remedied by operator action or with the assistance of instrumentation and/or maintenance personnel. The course focuses on the starting, loading, and specific operator checks of the various turbine support and auxiliary systems to ensure reliable operation of the gas turbine - generator unit, and the effect that operation has on major mechanical maintenance.

Customer O&M Manual Users Guide

I. MANUAL PURPOSE GE Energy provides a comprehensive set of Customer Operation and Maintenance Manuals (O&M Manuals) as reference documentation to assist the final “User” in operating and maintaining the equipment provided under the scope of the contract. This document contains a brief description of the O&M Manual format and content, along with the intended customer utilization of the Manuals. A. General Information The Customer O&M Manual set is organized to provide the User with important project-specific reference information in addition to the User’s normal operation and maintenance procedures. Since Operating and Maintenance philosophies vary from customer to customer, GE Energy does not attempt to dictate specific procedures, but to provide basic limitations and requirements created by the type of equipment provided. The information found in the Manuals is intended to build on a User’s basic understanding of the operation and maintenance of complex equipment of this type. This O&M Manual is not intended to be a step by step operational guideline. It is expected that if the User needs additional assistance or further detail regarding their specific equipment, they should consult directly with their local GE representative. B. Timeline Due to the variation in equipment supply scope and the complexity of the equipment being provided, the O&M Manual documentation is established and published following the completion of the engineering and manufacturing phase of each project. The Manuals are created based on a standardized structure but developed to accurately reflect the actual equipment provided. The intended timeline for Manual delivery is: •

The standard comprehensive set of O&M Manuals are generally provided in English twelve (12) weeks following contract equipment ship date.



The translated O&M Manual, when required, has its own delivery schedule, which is generally 17-23 weeks after the English O&M Manual is issued.

C. Translation GE provides translated O&M Manuals as required by contract and/or local codes and standard compliance requirements. Translation does not begin until after the English O&M Manual is complete. D. Exclusions The Customer O&M Manual does not include documentation for and is not intended to be a guide for:

GEK 116811a

NOTE GE Energy may provide specific detailed documentation in separate Manuals for the subjects listed above. E. Documentation Provided By Other Means The following documentation is not included in the Customer O&M Manual, but may be provided by GE Energy Services as necessary: •

Lists of Spare Parts for Ordering The Customer O&M Manual is provided for the purpose of instructing the owner/operator in the operation and maintenance of the equipment provided under the requisition scope of supply. Information provided in the O&M Manual allows Users to locate and identify parts needed to plan for and perform equipment maintenance. The GE Energy Services parts organization is responsible for support required to either identify or order spare or replacement parts and to provide recommended spare parts list as required.



Dismantling at End of Service The Customer O&M Manual does not contain information to accomplish complete plant disassembly and provisions for long or short term storage after disassembly.



Comprehensive Lubrication Program The Customer O&M Manual does not provide a tailored lubrication program or list of specific brand lubricants. However, the necessary lubrication requirements and lubricant specifications for each system are provided in the appropriate system section of the O&M Manual. This information is provided so that the owner/operator can integrate the lubrication requirements into the overall plant maintenance program.

F. Proprietary Considerations The following statement is found in every Customer O&M Manual: “These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment or to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular situations arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to the GE Company.” G. Responsibilities The Customer O&M Manuals are written for operators that already have a general understanding of the requirements for safe operation of mechanical and electrical equipment in potentially hazardous environments. They are not designed for use by personnel with little or no operational/maintenance training or learned skills. Throughout the O&M Manual there are numerous references to model list codes. These codes are taken directly from the GE Engineering Bill of Material for the turbine or generator. For easier use of the O&M Manual, Users should have a general familiarity with the GE Engineering Bill of Material and its structure. © 2012 General Electric Company. All Rights Reserved.

Customer O&M Manual Users Guide

These instructions should be interpreted and applied in conjunction with sound engineering practice, and in accordance with all provided safety guidelines. It is imperative that all safety rules and regulations applicable at the site be followed to provide for safe operation of site equipment. Because Operating and Maintenance philosophies vary from customer to customer, GE Energy does not attempt to dictate specific procedures but to provide basic limitations and requirements created by the type of equipment provided. The information provided in the Manuals is intended to build on a user’s basic understanding of the operation and maintenance of complex equipment of this type. It is expected that if the user needs additional assistance or further detail regarding their specific equipment, they consult directly with their local GE representative. The information set out in the O&M Manual set has been developed from GE Energy standard equipment specifications. Where possible at the time of publication, modification information has been included for that equipment which is specific to the contract and also for additional equipment supplied by GE Energy which has been manufactured by others. The timing of publication and the ongoing nature of design improvements may mean that features of the equipment supplied may be different from those shown in this publication. No liability is accepted by GE Energy for errors, or omissions or discrepancies of this nature. No additional representations or warranties by GE Energy regarding the equipment or its use are given or implied by the issue of the O&M Manual. The rights, obligations and liabilities of GE Energy and the User are strictly limited to those expressly provided in the contract relating to the supply of the equipment. H. Revision Process GE Energy makes the on-line (webbook) and optional hard copy/DVD O&M Manuals available to the customer. GE does not update the original set of Manuals except: •

To add documents that were not available and were listed as shortages when the Manual was issued



To correct an error or omission



To reflect changes when an O&M Manual update is scheduled through Engineering (DCI/ECN)



To update with as installed drawings (as applicable)

Revisions covered under separate contracts (FMI, CMU, etc.) will be issued in the form of a separate addendum or as an update to the existing O&M Manual. For the on-line version of the Customer O&M Manual, GE drawings and GE turbine-generator publications are monitored for later revisions and updated to the latest revision on a regular basis. The automated update process applies only to the on-line O&M Manual, it does not apply to DVD or hardcopy sets. When an update is issued specifically for the hardcopy and/or DVD, a formal Revision Instruction Sheet is issued to communicate specific instructions on where to insert, remove, or replace the hardcopy documentation in each volume. This Revision Instruction Sheet is also included on the updated DVDs. The drawings in the Customer O&M Manuals are intended only to support the technical documentation in the Manual, and do not constitute the official issuance of the drawings to the

III. EXAMPLES FOR LOCATING INFORMATION A. Locating Component Tab To locate information on your gas turbine’s main lube oil pump. First look in the volume Table of Contents (found in the front of every volume) you will find that Lubrication System information is in Tab 14 (this tab location for the Lubrication System may vary). Then turn to Tab 14 and look at the Tab Table of Contents to find the instruction Manual for this pump. The Table of Contents functions as a broad general outline of the contents of the Manual set. It is constructed as a generic tool to lead you to a main system. When you have located the system you need, refer to the referenced tab number and volume. Look for your item in the Tab Table of Contents. Items will be listed by name and device symbol. Main Table Of Contents

B. Locating Component within Tab

The Tab Table of Contents is a precise, specific list of all documentation included in a particular tab. The Tab Table of Contents for any turbine system, like the Lubrication System in our example above, will always list the system text first, followed by the system schematic. Following this information is an item number arranged list of all major devices (filters, motors, pumps, etc.) and their publication number. These publications can be found directly behind the Tab Table of Contents. If you needed to find information on the lube oil pump, the main Table of Contents would have directed you to the correct number tab. From the Tab Table of Contents you can look down the list of devices, locate the entry entitled “Main AC Lube Oil Pump Assembly,” and see that Buffalo Forge publication “Buff Pumps_3382GE-Heb” covers this pump. This publication can be found in this tab. © 2012 General Electric Company. All Rights Reserved.

2. For direct access, the URL for the on-line Technical Manual application is: http://www.gepower.com/online_tools/tech_manuals.htm. E. Fully Engineered Quote (FEQ) GE Energy Services has provided to the owner/operator, under separate cover, a “Spare Parts Recommendation” including price and delivery cycle data for this project. That listing was provided to allow the equipment owner/operator to select specific spare parts to be provided by GE. The GE Energy Services Spare Parts Recommendation included in the GE O&M Manuals is a coordinated listing, however not including pricing or delivery cycle data. This “coordinated copy” of the original Spare Parts Recommendation from GE Energy Services is titled “Spare Parts Recommendation (Not priced)” and is provided for reference only. It can be used in conjunction with maintenance activities described in the GE O&M Manuals. This Spare Parts Recommendation is based on the AS SHIPPED configuration of the unit(s). Any changes made to the unit(s) after shipment are NOT reflected. For Material Ship Direct (MSD) items listed in the section labeled “MSD Waiting Definition”, the spare parts lists were not available at the time the GE Energy Services Spare Parts Recommendation was prepared. For those items, Users can refer to the appropriate tab in the O&M volume of the comprehensive set of GE O&M Manuals. For additional questions related to Spare Parts contact your local GE Representative. The Fully Engineered Quote (FEQ) is the GE Energy Services Spare Parts Recommendations, for either the gas turbine and generator or the steam turbine and generator.

Technical Communications

I. GENERAL Technical communications are issued periodically to GE turbine and generator users and service personnel to provide updated information on the operation and maintenance of the GE supplied equipment. These communications include Technical Information Letters (TILs) and are GE’s way of telling their customers about technical improvements, maintenance practices, or safety concerns regarding GE supplied equipment. Many of GE’s customers prefer to have TILs that affect their units directly emailed to them. GE maintains a database of these customers’ email addresses and the appropriate TILs are emailed to the customers when published. TIL distribution will be made by electronic email distribution. Equipment owners will need to register for TIL distribution via Self Service or Controls Connect page at www.ge-energy.com. A direct link to the Controls Connect and Self Service website is provided below.

http://www.ge-energy.com/tools_and_training/tools/controls_connect.jsp Detailed instructions on how to register and utilize this new functionality are included in the pages that follow. GE is committed to providing every customer with the TILs that affect their sites. When a TIL is issued that affects your turbine or generator, that TIL is promptly emailed to the address listed for that unit that is contained in the GE database. Information provided as part of the Technical Communications registration will be used for the process of distributing TILs and will be stored on a secure server in compliance with GE Energy data storage policy.

GEK 116642

I. INTRODUCTION The turbine control device schematic (MLI 0415) shows devices that provide feedback on the conditions of the gas turbine. These inputs are sent to controls software and used in the control or monitoring of the gas turbine. The conditions of the gas turbine covered by the devices on the schematic are as follows: •

Presence of Flame in Combustors



Inlet Bell-Mouth Temperatures (°F, °C)



Exhaust Temperatures (°F, °C)



Bearing Temperatures (°F, °C)



Wheelspace Temperatures (°F, °C)



Vibration at Bearings (in/sec)



Turbine Rotational Speed (rpm)



Turbine Ignition System

II. OVERVIEW The areas mentioned above are covered by categories of devices. Each device will provide the data needed to analyze the given area of the turbine. This data will then be given to controls to perform any monitoring, diagnostics, alarm, or trip function. Device categories are as follows: •

Combustion Flame Detectors



Magnetic Speed Pickups



Combustion Ignition Exciter / Spark Plugs



Compressor Discharge Thermocouples



Turbine Case Temperature Management Thermocouples



Exhaust Thermocouples



Wheelspace Thermocouples



Inner Barrel Thermocouples



Inlet Plenum Thermocouples



Journal Bearing Thermocouples



Thrust Bearing Thermocouples

Gas Turbine Functional Description

I. INTRODUCTION A. General The MS-9001FA is a single-shaft gas turbine designed for operation as a simple-cycle unit or in a combined steam and gas turbine cycle (STAG). The gas turbine assembly contains six major sections or groups: 1. Air inlet 2. Compressor 3. Combustion System 4. Turbine 5. Exhaust 6. Support systems This section briefly describes how the gas turbine operates and the interrelationship of the major components. NOTE Illustrations and photographs of typical and optional equipment/configurations accompany the text showing components that may have been supplied to this site. These optional equipment/configurations are identified as such and may be disregarded if not applicable. The flange-to-flange description of the gas turbine is also covered in some detail. Support systems pertaining to the air inlet and exhaust, lube oil, cooling water, etc. are covered in detail in individual sections. B. Detail Orientation Throughout this manual, reference is made to the forward and aft ends, and to the right and left sides of the gas turbine and its components. By definition, the air inlet of the gas turbine is the forward end, while the exhaust is the aft end. The forward and aft ends of each component are determined in like manner with respect to its orientation within the complete unit. The right and left sides of the turbine or of a particular component are determined by standing forward and looking aft. C. Gas Path Description The gas path is the path by which gases flow through the gas turbine from the air inlet through the compressor, combustion section and turbine, to the turbine exhaust. When the turbine starting system is actuated and the clutch is engaged, ambient air is drawn through the air inlet plenum assembly, filtered and compressed in the multi-stage, axial-flow compressor. For pulsation protection during startup, compressor bleed valves are open and the variable inlet guide vanes are in the closed position. When the high-speed relay actuates, the bleed valves begin operation automatically and the variable inlet guide vane actuator energizes to position the inlet guide vanes for normal turbine operation. Compressed air from the compressor flows into the annular space surrounding the combustion chambers, from which it flows into the spaces between the outer

combustion casings and the combustion liners, and enters the combustion zone through metering holes in each of the combustion liners. Fuel from an off-base source is provided to flow lines, each terminating at the primary and secondary fuel nozzles in the end cover of the separate combustion chambers. Options: •

On liquid fueled machines, the fuel is controlled prior to being distributed to the nozzles to provide an equal flow into each liquid fuel distributor valve mounted on each end cover and each liquid fuel line on each secondary nozzle assembly.



On gas-fueled machines, the fuel nozzles are the metering orifices which provide the proper flow into the combustion zones in the chambers.

The nozzles introduce the fuel into the combustion zone within each chamber where it mixes with the combustion air and is ignited by one or more of the spark plugs. At the instant when fuel is ignited in one combustion chamber flame is propagated, through connecting crossfire tubes, to all other combustion chambers where it is detected by four primary flame detectors, each mounted on a flange provided on the combustion casings. The hot gases from the combustion chambers flow into separate transition pieces attached to the aft end of the combustion chamber liners and flow from there to the three-stage turbine section. Each stage consists of a row of fixed nozzles and a row of turbine buckets. In each nozzle row, the kinetic energy of the jet is increased, with an associated pressure drop, which is absorbed as useful work by the turbine rotor buckets, resulting in shaft rotation used to turn the generator rotor to generate electrical power. After passing through the third-stage buckets, the gases are directed into the exhaust diffuser. The gases then pass into the exhaust plenum and are introduced to atmosphere through the exhaust stack. II. BASE AND SUPPORTS A. Turbine Base The base that supports the gas turbine is a structural steel fabrication of welded steel beams and plate. Its prime function is to provide a support upon which to mount the gas turbine. Lifting trunnions and supports are provided, two on each side of the base in line with the two structural cross members of the base frame. Machined pads on each side on the bottom of the base facilitate its mounting to the site foundation. Two machined pads, atop the base frame are provided for mounting the aft turbine supports. B. Turbine Supports The MS9001FA has rigid leg-type supports at the compressor end and supports with top and bottom pivots at the turbine end. On the inner surface of each support leg a water jacket is provided, through which cooling water is circulated to minimize thermal expansion and to assist in maintaining alignment between the turbine and the load equipment. The support legs maintain the axial and vertical positions of the turbine, while two gib keys coupled with the turbine support legs maintain its lateral position. One gib key is machined on the lower half of the exhaust frame. The other gib key is machined on the lower half of the forward compressor casing. The keys fit into guide blocks which are welded to the cross beams of © General Electric Company, 2010. GE Proprietary Information. All Rights Reserved.

the turbine base. The keys are held securely in place in the guide blocks with bolts that bear against the keys on each side. This key-and- block arrangement prevents lateral or rotational movement of the turbine while permitting axial and radial movement resulting from thermal expansion. III. COMPRESSOR SECTION A. General The axial-flow compressor section consists of the compressor rotor and the compressor casing. Within the compressor casing are the variable inlet guide vanes, the various stages of rotor and stator blading, and the exit guide vanes. In the compressor, air is confined to the space between the rotor and stator where it is compressed in stages by a series of alternate rotating (rotor) and stationary (stator) airfoil-shaped blades. The rotor blades supply the force needed to compress the air in each stage and the stator blades guide the air so that it enters the following rotor stage at the proper angle. The compressed air exits through the compressor discharge casing to the combustion chambers. Air is extracted from the compressor for turbine cooling and for pulsation control during startup. Option: •

Air may also be extracted from the compressor when the combustion turbine is operating for use in the plant compressed air system.

B. Rotor The compressor portion of the gas turbine rotor is an assembly of wheels, a speed ring, tie bolts, the compressor rotor blades, and a forward stub shaft (see Figure 1). Each wheel has slots broached around its periphery. The rotor blades and spacers are inserted into these slots and held in axial position by staking at each end of the slot. The wheels are assembled to each other with mating rabbets for concentricity control and are held together with tie bolts. Selective positioning of the wheels is made during assembly to reduce balance correction. After assembly, the rotor is dynamically balanced. The forward stubshaft is machined to provide the thrust collar, which carries the forward and aft thrust loads. The stubshaft also provides the journal for the No. 1 bearing, the sealing surface for the No. 1 bearing oil seals and the compressor low-pressure air seal. The stage 17 wheel carries the rotor blades and also provides the sealing surface for the high-pressure air seal and the compressor-to-turbine marriage flange.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

C. Stator 1. General The casing area of the compressor section is composed of three major sections. These are the: a. Inlet casing b. Compressor casing c. Compressor discharge casing These casings, in conjunction with the turbine casing, form the primary structure of the gas turbine. They support the rotor at the bearing points and constitute the outer wall of the gas-path annulus. All of these casings are split horizontally to facilitate servicing. 2. Inlet Casing The inlet casing (see Figure 2) is located at the forward end of the gas turbine. Its prime function is to uniformly direct air into the compressor. The inlet casing also supports the No. 1 bearing assembly. The No. 1 bearing lower half housing is integrally cast with the inner bellmouth. The upper half bearing housing is a separate casting, flanged and bolted to the lower half. The inner bellmouth is positioned to the outer bellmouth by nine airfoil-shaped radial struts. The struts are cast into the bellmouth walls. They also transfer the structural loads from the adjoining casing to the forward support which is bolted and doweled to this inlet casing. Variable inlet guide vanes are located at the aft end of the inlet casing and are mechanically positioned, by a control ring and pinion gear arrangement connected to a hydraulic actuator drive and linkage arm assembly. The position of these vanes has an effect on the quantity of compressor inlet air flow. 3. Compressor Casing The forward compressor casing contains the stage 0 through stage 4 compressor stator stages. The compressor casing lower half is equipped with two large integrally cast trunnions which are used to lift the gas turbine when it is separated from its base. The aft compressor casing contains stage 5 through stage 12 compressor stator stages. Extraction ports in aft casing permit removal of 13th-stage compressor air. This air is used for cooling functions and is also used for pulsation control during startup and shutdown. 4. Compressor Discharge Casing The compressor discharge casing is the final portion of the compressor section. It is the longest single casting, is situated at midpoint - between the forward and aft supports - and is, in effect, the keystone of the gas turbine structure. The compressor discharge casing contains the final compressor stages, forms both the inner and outer walls of the compressor diffuser, and joins the compressor and turbine casings. The discharge casing also provides support for the combustion outer casings and the inner support of the first-stage turbine nozzle.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

The compressor discharge casing consists of two cylinders, one being a continuation of the compressor casing and the other being an inner cylinder that surrounds the compressor rotor. The two cylinders are concentrically positioned by fourteen radial struts. A diffuser is formed by the tapered annulus between the outer cylinder and inner cylinder of the discharge casing. The diffuser converts some of the compressor exit velocity into added static pressure for the combustion air supply. 5. Blading The compressor rotor and stator blades are airfoil shaped and designed to compress air efficiently at high blade tip velocities. The blades are attached to the compressor wheels by dovetail arrangements. The dovetail is very precise in size and position to maintain each blade in the desired position and location on the wheel. The compressor stator blades are airfoil shaped and are mounted by similar dovetails into ring segments in the first five stages. The ring segments are inserted into circumferential grooves in the casing and are held in place with locking keys. The stator blades of the remaining stages have a square base dovetail and are inserted directly into circumferential grooves in the casing. Locking keys hold them in place. IV. DLN-2+ COMBUSTION SYSTEM A. General The combustion system is of the reverse-flow type with the 18 combustion chambers arranged around the periphery of the compressor discharge casing as shown on Figure 3. Combustion chambers are numbered counterclockwise when viewed looking downstream and starting from the top left of the machine. This system also includes the fuel nozzles, a spark plug ignition system, flame detectors, and crossfire tubes. Hot gases, generated from burning fuel in the combustion chambers, flow through the impingement cooled transition pieces to the turbine. High pressure air from the compressor discharge is directed around the transition pieces. Some of the air enters the holes in the impingement sleeve to cool the transition pieces and flows into the flow sleeve. The rest enters the annulus between the flow sleeve and the combustion liner through holes in the downstream end of the flow sleeve. (See Figure 4 and Figure 5). This air enters the combustion zone through the cap assembly for proper fuel combustion. Fuel is supplied to each combustion chamber through five nozzles designed to disperse and mix the fuel with the proper amount of combustion air.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

Options: Dual fuel-The DLN-2+ combustion system shown in Figure 4 is a single stage, dual mode combustor capable of operation on both gaseous and liquid fuel. On gas, the combustor operates in a diffusion mode at low loads (50% load). While the combustor is capable of operating in the diffusion mode across the load range, diluent injection would be required for NOx abatement. Oil operation on this combustor is in the diffusion mode across the entire load range, with diluent injection used for NOx . Gas Fuel only-On gas, the combustor operates in a diffusion mode at low loads (50% load). While the combustor is capable of operating in the diffusion mode across the load range, diluent injection would be required for NOx abatement. Liquid fuel only- On oil operation, this combustor is in the diffusion mode across the entire load range, with diluent injection used for Nox. B. Outer Combustion Chambers and Flow Sleeves The outer combustion chambers act as the pressure shells for the combustors. They also provide flanges for the fuel nozzle-end cover assemblies, crossfire tube flanges, and, where called for, spark plugs, flame detectors and false start drains. The flow sleeves (Figure 5) form an annular space around the cap and liner assemblies that directs the combustion and cooling air flows into the reaction region. To maintain the impingement sleeve pressure drop, the openings for crossfire tubes, spark plugs, and flame detectors are sealed with sliding grommets. C. Crossfire Tubes All combustion chambers are interconnected by means of crossfire tubes. The outer chambers are connected with an outer crossfire tube and the combustion liner primary zones are connected by the inner crossfire tubes. D. Fuel Nozzle End Covers There are five fuel nozzle assemblies in each combustor. Figure 6 and Figure 7 shows a typical crosssection of a DLN-2+ fuel nozzle. The nozzle shown is for the dual fuel option and shows the passages for diffusion gas, premixed gas, oil, and water. When mounted on the endcover, as shown in Figure 6, the diffusion passages of four of the fuel nozzles are fed from a common manifold, called the diffusion circuit, that is built into the endcover. The premixed passage of the same four nozzles are fed from another internal manifold called the PM4. The premixed passages of the remaining nozzle is supplied by the PM1 fuel circuit; E. Cap and Liner Assemblies The combustion liners (Figure 8) use external ridges and conventional cooling slots for cooling. Interior surfaces of the liner are thermal barrier coated to reduce metal temperatures and thermal gradients. The cap (Figure 9 and Figure 10) has five burner tubes that engage each of the five fuel nozzles. It is cooled by a combination of film cooling and impingement.

F. Spark Plugs Combustion is initiated by means of the discharge from spark plugs which are bolted to flanges on the combustion cans and centered within the liner and flowsleeve in adjacent combustion chambers. A typical spark plug arrangement is shown in Figure 11. These plugs receive their energy from high energy-capacitor discharge power supplies. At the time of firing, a spark at one or more of these plugs ignites the gases in a chamber; the remaining chambers are ignited by crossfire through the tubes that interconnect the reaction zone of the remaining chambers. G. Ultraviolet Flame Detectors During the starting sequence, it is essential that an indication of the presence or absence of flame be transmitted to the control system. For this reason, a flame monitoring system is used consisting of multiple flame detectors located as shown on Figure 3. The flame detectors (Figure 12 and Figure 13) have water cooled jackets to maintain acceptable temperatures. The ultraviolet flame sensor contains a gas filled detector. The gas within this detector is sensitive to the presence of ultraviolet radiation which is emitted by a hydrocarbon flame. A DC voltage, supplied by the amplifier, is impressed across the detector terminals. If flame is present, the ionization of the gas in the detector allows conduction in the circuit which activates the electronics to give an output indicating flame. Conversely, the absence of flame will generate an output indicating no flame. The signals from the four flame detectors are sent to the control system which uses an internal logic system to determine whether a flame or loss of flame condition exists. For detailed operating and maintenance information covering this equipment, refer to the vendor publications.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

V. TURBINE SECTION A. General The three-stage turbine section is the area in which energy in the form of high temperature pressurized gas, produced by the compressor and combustion sections, is converted to mechanical energy. MS9001FA gas turbine hardware includes the turbine rotor, turbine casing, exhaust frame, exhaust diffuser, nozzles, and shrouds. B. Turbine Rotor 1. Structure The turbine rotor assembly, shown in Figure 14, consists of the forward and aft turbine wheel shafts and the first-, second- and third-stage turbine wheel assemblies with spacers and turbine buckets. Concentricity control is achieved with mating rabbets on the turbine wheels, wheel shafts, and spacers. The wheels are held together with through bolts mating up with bolting flanges on the wheel shafts and spacers. Selective positioning of rotor members is performed to minimize balance corrections. 2. Wheel Shafts The turbine rotor distance piece extends from the first-stage turbine wheel to the aft flange of the compressor rotor assembly. The turbine rotor aft shaft includes the No. 2 bearing journal. 3. Wheel Assemblies Spacers between the first and second, and between the second and third-stage turbine wheels determine the axial position of the individual wheels. These spacers carry the diaphragm sealing lands. The 1-2 spacer forward and aft faces include radial slots for cooling air passages. Turbine buckets are assembled in the wheels with fir-tree-shaped dovetails that fit into matching cut-outs in the turbine wheel rims. All three turbine stages have precision investment-cast, longshank buckets. The long-shank bucket design effectively shields the wheel rims and bucket root fastenings from the high temperatures in the hot gas path while providing mechanical damping of bucket vibrations. As a further aid in vibration damping, the stage-two and stage-three buckets have interlocking shrouds at the bucket tips. These shrouds also increase the turbine efficiency by minimizing tip leakage. Radial teeth on the bucket shrouds combine with stepped surfaces on the stator to provide a labyrinth seal against gas leakage past the bucket tips. Figure 15 shows typical first-, second-, and third-stage turbine buckets for the MS9001FA. The increase in the size of the buckets from the first to the third stage is necessitated by the pressure reduction resulting from energy conversion in each stage, requiring an increased annulus area to accommodate the gas flow.

4. Cooling The turbine rotor is cooled to maintain reasonable operating temperatures and, therefore, assure a longer turbine service life. Cooling is accomplished by means of a positive flow of cool air extracted from the compressor and discharged radially outward through a space between the turbine wheel and the stator, into the main gas stream. This area is called the wheelspace. Figure 16 shows the turbine cooling air flows. 5. First-Stage Wheelspaces The first-stage forward wheelspace is cooled by compressor discharge air. A labyrinth seal is installed at the aft end of the compressor rotor between the rotor and inner barrel of the compressor discharge casing. The leakage through this labyrinth furnishes the air flow through the first-stage forward wheelspace. This cooling air flow discharges into the main gas stream aft of the first-stage nozzle. The first-stage aft wheelspace is cooled by 13th stage extraction air ported through the 2nd stage nozzle. This air returns to the gas path forward of the 2nd stage nozzle. 6. Second-Stage Wheelspaces The second-stage forward wheelspace is cooled by leakage from the first-stage aft wheelspace through the interstage labyrinth. This air returns to the gas path at the entrance of the secondstage buckets. The second-stage aft wheelspace is cooled by 13th stage extraction air ported through the 3rd stage nozzle. Air from this wheelspace returns to the gas path at the third-stage nozzle entrance. 7. Third-Stage Wheelspaces The third-stage forward wheelspace is cooled by leakage from the second-stage aft wheelspace through the interstage labyrinth. This air reenters the gas path at the third-stage bucket entrance. The third-stage aft wheelspace obtains its cooling air from the discharge of the exhaust frame cooling air annulus. This air flows through the third-stage aft wheelspace, and into the gas path at the entrance to the exhaust diffuser. 8. Buckets Air is introduced into each first-stage bucket through a plenum at the base of the bucket dovetail (Figure 16). It flows through serpentine cooling holes extending the length of the bucket and exits at the trailing edge and the bucket tip. The holes are spaced and sized to obtain optimum cooling of the airfoil with minimum compressor extraction air. Figure 17 shows the MS9001FA first-stage bucket design. Unlike the first-stage buckets, the second-stage buckets are cooled by spanwise air passages the length of the airfoil. Air is introduced like the first-stage, with a plenum at the base of the bucket dovetail. Again airfoil cooling is accomplished with minimum penalty to the thermodynamic cycle. See Figure 18.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

The third-stage buckets are not internally air cooled; the tips of these buckets, like the secondstage buckets, are enclosed by a shroud which is a part of the tip seal. These shrouds interlock from bucket to bucket to provide vibration damping. C. Turbine Stator 1. Structure The turbine casing and the exhaust frame constitute the major portion of the MS9001FA gas turbine stator structure. The turbine nozzles, shrouds, and turbine exhaust diffuser are internally supported from these components. 2. Turbine Casing The turbine casing controls the axial and radial positions of the shrouds and nozzles. It determines turbine clearances and the relative positions of the nozzles to the turbine buckets. This positioning is critical to gas turbine performance. Hot gases contained by the turbine casing are a source of heat flow into the casing. To control the casing diameter, it is important to reduce the heat flow into the casing and to limit its temperature. Heat flow limitations incorporate insulation, cooling, and multi-layered structures. 13th stage extraction air is piped into the turbine casing annular spaces around the 2nd and 3rd stage nozzles. From there the air is ported through the nozzle partitions and into the wheel spaces. Structurally, the turbine casing forward flange is bolted to the bulkhead flange at the aft end of the compressor discharge casing. The turbine casing aft flange is bolted to the forward flange of the exhaust frame 3. Nozzles In the turbine section there are three stages of stationary nozzles (Figure 16) which direct the high-velocity flow of the expanded hot combustion gas against the turbine buckets causing the turbine rotor to rotate. Because of the high pressure drop across these nozzles, there are seals at both the inside and the outside diameters to prevent loss of system energy by leakage. Since these nozzles operate in the hot combustion gas flow, they are subjected to thermal stresses in addition to gas pressure loadings. 4. First-Stage Nozzle The first-stage nozzle receives the hot combustion gases from the combustion system via the transition pieces. The transition pieces are sealed to both the outer and inner sidewalls on the entrance side of the nozzle; this minimizes leakage of compressor discharge air into the nozzles. The Model 9001FA gas turbine first-stage nozzle (Figure 19) contains a forward and aft cavity in the vane and is cooled by a combination of film, impingement and convection techniques in both the vane and sidewall regions. The nozzle segments, each with two partitions or airfoils, are contained by a horizontally split retaining ring which is centerline supported to the turbine casing on lugs at the sides and guided by pins at the top and bottom vertical centerlines. This permits radial growth of the retaining ring, resulting from changes in temperature, while the ring remains centered in the casing.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

GEK 110494c

The aft outer diameter of the retaining ring is loaded against the forward face of the first-stage turbine shroud and acts as the air seal to prevent leakage of compressor discharge air between the nozzle and turbine casing. On the inner sidewall, the nozzle is sealed by a flange cast on the inner diameter of the sidewall that rests against a mating face on the first-stage nozzle support ring. Circumferential rotation of the segment inner sidewall is prevented by an eccentric bushing and a locating dowel that engages a lug on the inner sidewall. The nozzle is prevented from moving forward by the lugs welded to the aft outside diameter of the retaining ring at 45 degrees from vertical and horizontal centerlines. These lugs fit in a groove machined in the turbine shell just forward of the first-stage shroud T hook. By moving the horizontal joint support block and the bottom centerline guide pin and then removing the inner sidewall locating dowels, the lower half of the nozzle can be rolled out with the turbine rotor in place. 5. Second-Stage Nozzle Combustion air exiting from the first stage buckets is again expanded and redirected against the second- stage turbine buckets by the second-stage nozzle. This nozzle is made of cast segments, each with two partitions or airfoils. The male hooks on the entrance and exit sides of the outer sidewall fit into female grooves on the aft side of the first-stage shrouds and on the forward side of the second-stage shrouds to maintain the nozzle concentric with the turbine shell and rotor. This close fitting tongue-and-groove fit between nozzle and shrouds acts as an outside diameter air seal. The nozzle segments are held in a circumferential position by radial pins from the shell into axial slots in the nozzle outer sidewall. The second-stage nozzle is cooled with 13th stage extraction air

6. Third-Stage Nozzle The third-stage nozzle receives the hot gas as it leaves the second-stage buckets, increases its velocity by pressure drop, and directs this flow against the third-stage buckets. The nozzle consists of cast segments, each with three partitions or airfoils. It is held at the outer sidewall forward and aft sides in grooves in the turbine shrouds in a manner similar to that used on the second- stage nozzle. The third-stage nozzle is circumferentially positioned by radial pins from the shell. 13th stage extraction air flows through the nozzle partitions for nozzle convection cooling and for augmenting wheelspace cooling air flow. 7. Diaphragm Attached to the inside diameters of both the second and third-stage nozzle segments are the nozzle diaphragms. These diaphragms prevent air leakage past the inner sidewall of the nozzles and the turbine rotor. The high/low, labyrinth seal teeth are machined into the inside diameter of the diaphragm. They mate with opposing sealing lands on the turbine rotor. Minimal radial clearance between stationary parts (diaphragm and nozzles) and the moving rotor are essential for maintaining low interstage leakage; this results in higher turbine efficiency. 8. Shrouds Unlike the compressor blading, the turbine bucket tips do not run directly against an integral machined surface of the casing but against annular curved segments called turbine shrouds. The shrouds’ primary function is to provide a cylindrical surface for minimizing bucket tip clearance leakage. The turbine shrouds’ secondary function is to provide a high thermal resistance between the hot gases and the comparatively cool turbine casing. By accomplishing this function, the turbine casing cooling load is drastically reduced, the turbine casing diameter is controlled, the turbine casing roundness is maintained, and important turbine clearances are assured. The first and second-stage stationary shroud segments are in two pieces; the gas-side inner shroud is separated from the supporting outer shroud to allow for expansion and contraction, and thereby improve low-cycle fatigue life. The first-stage shroud is cooled by impingement, film, and convection. The shroud segments are maintained in the circumferential position by radial pins from the turbine casing. Joints between shroud segments are sealed by interconnecting tongues and grooves. 9. Exhaust Frame The exhaust frame is bolted to the aft flange of the turbine casing. Structurally, the frame consists of an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder interconnected by the radial struts. The No. 2 bearing is supported from the inner cylinder. The exhaust diffuser located at the aft end of the turbine is bolted to the exhaust frame. Gases exhausted from the third turbine stage enter the diffuser where velocity is reduced by diffusion and pressure is recovered. At the exit of the diffuser, the gases are directed into the exhaust plenum.

Gas Turbine Functional Description

GEK 110494c

Exhaust frame radial struts cross the exhaust gas stream. These struts position the inner cylinder and No. 2 bearing in relation to the outer casing of the gas turbine. The struts must be maintained at a constant temperature in order to control the center position of the rotor in relation to the stator. This temperature stabilization is accomplished by protecting the struts from exhaust gases with a metal fairing that forms an air space around each strut and provides a rotated, combined airfoil shape. Off-base blowers provide cooling air flow through the space between the struts and the wrap- per to maintain uniform temperature of the struts. This air is then directed to the third-stage aft wheelspace. Trunnions on the sides of the exhaust frame are used with similar trunnions on the forward compressor casing to lift the gas turbine when it is separated from its base. VI. BEARINGS A. General The MS9001FA gas turbine unit has two four-element, tilting pad journal bearings which support the gas turbine rotor. The unit also includes a thrust bearing to maintain the rotor-to-stator axial position. Thrust is absorbed by a tilting pad thrust bearing with eight shoes on both sides of the thrust bearing runner. These bearings and seals are incorporated in two housings: one at the inlet casing, one in the exhaust frame. These main bearings are pressure-lubricated by oil supplied from the main lubricating oil system. The oil flows through branch lines to an inlet in each bearing housing. 1. Lubrication The main turbine bearings are pressure-lubricated with oil supplied, from the oil reservoir. Oil feed piping, where practical, is run within the lube oil drain lines, or drain channels, as a protective measure. In the event of a supply line leak, oil will not be sprayed on nearby equipment, thus eliminating a potential safety hazard. When the oil enters the housing inlet, it flows into an annulus around the bearing. From the annulus, the oil flows through machined holes or slots to the bearing rotor interface. 2. Lubricant Sealing Oil on the surface of the turbine shaft is prevented from being spun along the shaft by oil seals in each of the bearing housings. These labyrinth seals are assembled at the extremities of the bearing assemblies where oil control is required. A smooth surface is machined on the shaft and the seals are assembled so that only a small clearance exists between the oil seal and the shaft. The oil seals are designed with tandem rows of teeth and an annular space between them. Pressurized sealing air is admitted into this space to prevent lubricating oil vapor from exiting the bearing housing. The air that returns with the oil to the main lubricating oil reservoir is vented to atmosphere after passing through an oil vapor extractor. VII. LOAD COUPLING A rigid, hollow coupling connects the forward compressor rotor shaft to the generator. A bolted flange connection forms the joint at each end of the coupling. © General Electric Company, 2010. GE Proprietary Information. All Rights Reserved.

Figure 1. Heavy-duty gas turbine model designation

Thermodynamic Principles A schematic diagram for a simple-cycle, singleshaft gas turbine is shown in Figure 2. Air enters the axial flow compressor at point 1 at ambient conditions. Since these conditions vary from day to day and from location to location, it is convenient to consider some standard conditions for comparative purposes. The standard conditions used by the gas turbine industry are 59 F/15 C, 14.7 psia/1.013 bar and 60% relative humidity, which are established by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and frequently referred to as ISO conditions. GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



Air entering the compressor at point 1 is compressed to some higher pressure. No heat is added; however, compression raises the air temperature so that the air at the discharge of the compressor is at a higher temperature and pressure. Upon leaving the compressor, air enters the combustion system at point 2, where fuel is injected and combustion occurs. The combustion process occurs at essentially constant pressure. Although high local temperatures are reached within the primary combustion zone (approaching stoichiometric conditions), the 2

Figure 2. Simple-cycle, single-shaft gas turbine combustion system is designed to provide mixing, burning, dilution and cooling. Thus, by the time the combustion mixture leaves the combustion system and enters the turbine at point 3, it is at a mixed average temperature. In the turbine section of the gas turbine, the energy of the hot gases is converted into work. This conversion actually takes place in two steps. In the nozzle section of the turbine, the hot gases are expanded and a portion of the thermal energy is converted into kinetic energy. In the subsequent bucket section of the turbine, a portion of the kinetic energy is transferred to the rotating buckets and converted to work. Some of the work developed by the turbine is used to drive the compressor, and the remainder is available for useful work at the output flange of the gas turbine. Typically, more than 50% of the work developed by the turbine sections is used to power the axial flow compressor. As shown in Figure 2, single-shaft gas turbines are configured in one continuous shaft and, therefore, all stages operate at the same speed. These units are typically used for generatordrive applications where significant speed variation is not required. GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



A schematic diagram for a simple-cycle, twoshaft gas turbine is shown in Figure 3. The lowpressure or power turbine rotor is mechanically separate from the high-pressure turbine and compressor rotor. The low pressure rotor is said to be aerodynamically coupled. This unique feature allows the power turbine to be operated at a range of speeds and makes twoshaft gas turbines ideally suited for variablespeed applications. All of the work developed by the power turbine is available to drive the load equipment since the work developed by the high-pressure turbine supplies all the necessary energy to drive the compressor. On two-shaft machines the starting requirements for the gas turbine load train are reduced because the load equipment is mechanically separate from the high-pressure turbine.

The Brayton Cycle The thermodynamic cycle upon which all gas turbines operate is called the Brayton cycle. Figure 4 shows the classical pressure-volume (PV) and temperature-entropy (TS) diagrams for this cycle. The numbers on this diagram cor3

respond to the numbers also used in Figure 2. Path 1 to 2 represents the compression occurring in the compressor, path 2 to 3 represents the constant-pressure addition of heat in the combustion systems, and path 3 to 4 represents the expansion occurring in the turbine.

Every Brayton cycle can be characterized by two significant parameters: pressure ratio and firing temperature. The pressure ratio of the cycle is the pressure at point 2 (compressor discharge pressure) divided by the pressure at point 1 (compressor inlet pressure). In an ideal cycle,

The path from 4 back to 1 on the Brayton cycle diagrams indicates a constant-pressure cooling process. In the gas turbine, this cooling is done by the atmosphere, which provides fresh, cool

GE Gas Turbine Performance Characteristics this pressure ratio is also equal to the pressure at point 3 divided by the pressure at point 4. However, in an actual cycle there is some slight pressure loss in the combustion system and, hence, the pressure at point 3 is slightly less than at point 2. The other significant parameter, firing temperature, is thought to be the highest temperature reached in the cycle. GE defines firing temperature as the mass-flow mean total temperature

sented as firing temperature by point 3 in Figure 4. Steam-cooled first stage nozzles do not reduce the temperature of the gas directly through mixing because the steam is in a closed loop. As shown in Figure 5, the firing temperature on a turbine with steam-cooled nozzles (GE’s current “H” design) has an increase of 200 degrees without increasing the combustion exit temperature.

Figure 5. Comparison of air-cooled vs. steam-cooled first stage nozzle at the stage 1 nozzle trailing edge plane. Currently all first stage nozzles are cooled to keep the temperatures within the operating limits of the materials being used. The two types of cooling currently employed by GE are air and steam. Air cooling has been used for more than 30 years and has been extensively developed in aircraft engine technology, as well as the latest family of large power generation machines. Air used for cooling the first stage nozzle enters the hot gas stream after cooling down the nozzle and reduces the total temperature immediately downstream. GE uses this temperature since it is more indicative of the cycle temperature repreGE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



An alternate method of determining firing temperature is defined in ISO document 2314, “Gas Turbines – Acceptance Tests.” The firing temperature here is a reference turbine inlet temperature and is not generally a temperature that exists in a gas turbine cycle; it is calculated from a heat balance on the combustion system, using parameters obtained in a field test. This ISO reference temperature will always be less than the true firing temperature as defined by GE, in many cases by 100 F/38 C or more for machines using air extracted from the compressor for internal cooling, which bypasses the combustor. Figure 6 shows how these various temperatures are defined. 5

Thermodynamic Analysis Classical thermodynamics permit evaluation of the Brayton cycle using such parameters as pressure, temperature, specific heat, efficiency factors and the adiabatic compression exponent. If such an analysis is applied to the Brayton cycle, the results can be displayed as a plot of cycle efficiency vs. specific output of the cycle. Figure 7 shows such a plot of output and

efficiency for different firing temperatures and various pressure ratios. Output per pound of airflow is important since the higher this value, the smaller the gas turbine required for the same output power. Thermal efficiency is important because it directly affects the operating fuel costs. Figure 7 illustrates a number of significant points. In simple-cycle applications (the top curve), pressure ratio increases translate into efficiency gains at a given firing temperature.

GE Gas Turbine Performance Characteristics The pressure ratio resulting in maximum output and maximum efficiency change with firing temperature, and the higher the pressure ratio, the greater the benefits from increased firing temperature. Increases in firing temperature provide power increases at a given pressure ratio, although there is a sacrifice of efficiency due to the increase in cooling air losses required to maintain parts lives. In combined-cycle applications (as shown in the bottom graph in Figure 7 ), pressure ratio increases have a less pronounced effect on efficiency. Note also that as pressure ratio increases, specific power decreases. Increases in firing temperature result in increased thermal efficiency. The significant differences in the slope of the two curves indicate that the optimum cycle parameters are not the same for simple and combined cycles. Simple-cycle efficiency is achieved with high pressure ratios. Combined-cycle efficiency is obtained with more modest pressure ratios and greater firing temperatures. For example, the MS7001FA design parameters are 2420 F/1316 C firing temperature and 15.7:1 pressure ratio;

while simple-cycle efficiency is not maximized, combined-cycle efficiency is at its peak. Combined cycle is the expected application for the MS7001FA.

Combined Cycle A typical simple-cycle gas turbine will convert 30% to 40% of the fuel input into shaft output. All but 1% to 2% of the remainder is in the form of exhaust heat. The combined cycle is generally defined as one or more gas turbines with heat-recovery steam generators in the exhaust, producing steam for a steam turbine generator, heat-to-process, or a combination thereof. Figure 8 shows a combined cycle in its simplest form. High utilization of the fuel input to the gas turbine can be achieved with some of the more complex heat-recovery cycles, involving multiple-pressure boilers, extraction or topping steam turbines, and avoidance of steam flow to a condenser to preserve the latent heat content. Attaining more than 80% utilization of the fuel input by a combination of electrical power generation and process heat is not unusual. Exhaust HRSG ST Turb

Combined cycles producing only electrical power are in the 50% to 60% thermal efficiency range using the more advanced gas turbines.

Correction for altitude or barometric pressure is more straightforward. The air density reduces as the site elevation increases. While the resulting airflow and output decrease proportionately, the heat rate and other cycle parameters are not affected. A standard altitude correction curve is presented in Figure 10.

Papers dealing with combined-cycle applications in the GE Reference Library include: GER-3574F, “GE Combined-Cycle Product Line and Performance”; GER-3767, “Single-Shaft Combined-Cycle Power Generation Systems”; and GER-3430F, “Cogeneration Application Considerations.”

Humidity

Factors Affecting Gas Turbine Performance

Similarly, humid air, which is less dense than dry air, also affects output and heat rate, as shown in Figure 11. In the past, this effect was thought to be too small to be considered. However, with the increasing size of gas turbines and the utilization of humidity to bias water and steam injection for NOx control, this effect has greater significance.

Air Temperature and Site Elevation Since the gas turbine is an air-breathing engine, its performance is changed by anything that affects the density and/or mass flow of the air intake to the compressor. Ambient weather conditions are the most obvious changes from the reference conditions of 59 F/15 C and 14.7 psia/1.013 bar. Figure 9 shows how ambient temperature affects the output, heat rate, heat consumption, and exhaust flow of a single-shaft MS7001. Each turbine model has its own temperature-effect curve, as it depends on the cycle

It should be noted that this humidity effect is a result of the control system approximation of firing temperature used on GE heavy-duty gas turbines. Single-shaft turbines that use turbine exhaust temperature biased by the compressor pressure ratio to the approximate firing temperature will reduce power as a result of

Figure 11. Humidity effect curve increased ambient humidity. This occurs because the density loss to the air from humidity is less than the density loss due to temperature. The control system is set to follow the inlet air temperature function. By contrast, the control system on aeroderivatives uses unbiased gas generator discharge temperature to approximate firing temperature. The gas generator can operate at different speeds from the power turbine, and the power will actually increase as fuel is added to raise the GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



moist air (due to humidity) to the allowable temperature. This fuel increase will increase the gas generator speed and compensate for the loss in air density.

Inlet and Exhaust Losses Inserting air filtration, silencing, evaporative coolers or chillers into the inlet or heat recovery devices in the exhaust causes pressure losses in the system. The effects of these pressure losses are unique to each design. Figure 12 shows 9

Fuels Work from a gas turbine can be defined as the product of mass flow, heat energy in the combusted gas (Cp), and temperature differential across the turbine. The mass flow in this equation is the sum of compressor airflow and fuel flow. The heat energy is a function of the elements in the fuel and the products of combustion. Tables 1 and 2 show that natural gas (methane) produces nearly 2% more output than does distillate oil. This is due to the higher specific heat in the combustion products of natural gas, resulting from the higher water vapor content produced by the higher hydrogen/carbon ratio of methane. This effect is noted even though the mass flow (lb/h) of methane is lower than the mass flow of distillate fuel. Here the effects of specific heat were greater than and in opposition to the effects of mass flow. Figure 13 shows the total effect of various fuels on turbine output. This curve uses methane as the base fuel. Although there is no clear relationship between fuel lower heating value (LHV) and output, it is GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



possible to make some general assumptions. If the fuel consists only of hydrocarbons with no inert gases and no oxygen atoms, output increases as LHV increases. Here the effects of Cp are greater than the effects of mass flow. Also, as the amount of inert gases is increased, the decrease in LHV will provide an increase in output. This is the major impact of IGCC type fuels that have large amounts of inert gas in the fuel. This mass flow addition, which is not compressed by the gas turbine’s compressor, increases the turbine output. Compressor power is essentially unchanged. Several side effects must be considered when burning this kind of lower heating value fuels: ■ Increased turbine mass flow drives up compressor pressure ratio, which eventually encroaches on the compressor surge limit ■ The higher turbine power may exceed fault torque limits. In many cases, a larger generator and other accessory equipment may be needed ■ High fuel volumes increase fuel piping and valve sizes (and costs). Low- or medium-Btu coal gases are frequently supplied at high temperatures, which further increases their volume flow 10

Figure 13. Effect of fuel heating value on output ■ Lower-Btu gases are frequently saturated with water prior to delivery to the turbine. This increases the combustion products heat transfer coefficients and raises the metal temperatures in the turbine section which may require lower operating firing temperature to preserve parts lives ■ As the Btu value drops, more air is required to burn the fuel. Machines with high firing temperatures may not be able to burn low Btu gases ■ Most air-blown gasifiers use air supplied from the gas turbine compressor discharge ■ The ability to extract air must be evaluated and factored into the overall heat and material balances As a result of these influences, each turbine model will have some application guidelines on flows, temperatures and shaft output to preserve

GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



its design life. In most cases of operation with lower heating value fuels, it can be assumed that output and efficiency will be equal to or higher than that obtained on natural gas. In the case of higher heating value fuels, such as refinery gases, output and efficiency may be equal to or lower than that obtained on natural gas.

Fuel Heating Most of the combined cycle turbine installations are designed for maximum efficiency. These plants often utilize integrated fuel gas heaters. Heated fuel results in higher turbine efficiency due to the reduced fuel flow required to raise the total gas temperature to firing temperature. Fuel heating will result in slightly lower gas turbine output because of the incremental volume flow decrease. The source of heat for the fuel typically is the IP feedwater. Since use of this energy in the gas turbine fuel heating system is thermodynamically advantageous, the combined cycle efficiency is improved by approximately 0.6%.

GE Gas Turbine Performance Characteristics Diluent Injection Since the early 1970s, GE has used water or steam injection for NOx control to meet applicable state and federal regulations. This is accomplished by admitting water or steam in the cap area or “head-end” of the combustion liner. Each machine and combustor configuration has limits on water or steam injection levels to protect the combustion system and turbine section. Depending on the amount of water or steam injection needed to achieve the desired NOx level, output will increase because of the 130

Generally, up to 5% of the compressor airflow can be extracted from the compressor discharge casing without modification to casings or on-base piping. Pressure and air temperature will depend on the type of machine and site conditions. Air extraction between 6% and 20% may be possible, depending on the machine and combustor configuration, with some modifications to the casings, piping and controls. Such applications need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Air extractions above 20% will require extensive modification to the turbine casing and unit configuration. Figure 15

These curves assume that steam is free to the gas turbine cycle, therefore heat rate improves. Since it takes more fuel to raise water to combustor conditions than steam, water injection does not provide an improvement in heat rate.

Air Extraction In some gas turbine applications, it may be desirable to extract air from the compressor.

GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



GT22048-1C

Figure 15. Effect of air extraction on output and heat rate shows the effect of air extraction on output and heat rate. As a “rule of thumb,” every 1% in air extraction results in a 2% loss in power.

Performance Enhancements Generally, controlling some of the factors that affect gas turbine performance is not possible. The planned site location and the plant configuration (such as simple- or combined-cycle) determine most of these factors. In the event additional output is needed, several possibilities to enhance performance may be considered.

12

GE Gas Turbine Performance Characteristics Inlet Cooling The ambient effect curve (see Figure 9) clearly shows that turbine output and heat rate are improved as compressor inlet temperature decreases. Lowering the compressor inlet temperature can be accomplished by installing an evaporative cooler or inlet chiller in the inlet ducting downstream of the inlet filters. Careful application of these systems is necessary, as condensation or carryover of water can exacerbate compressor fouling and degrade performance. These systems generally are followed by moisture separators or coalescing pads to reduce the possibility of moisture carryover. As Figure 16 shows, the biggest gains from evaporative cooling are realized in hot, low-humidity climates. It should be noted that evaporative cooling is limited to ambient temperatures of 59 F/15 C and above (compressor inlet temperature >45 F/7.2 C) because of the potential for icing the compressor. Information contained in Figure 16 is based on an 85% effective evaporative cooler. Effectiveness is a measure of how close the cooler exit temperature approaches the ambient wet bulb tempera-

Chillers, unlike evaporative coolers, are not limited by the ambient wet bulb temperature. The achievable temperature is limited only by the capacity of the chilling device to produce coolant and the ability of the coils to transfer heat.

GE Gas Turbine Performance Characteristics specific humidity, as shown in Figure 17. As saturation is approached, water begins to condense from the air, and mist eliminators are used. Further heat transfer cools the condensate and air, and causes more condensation. Because of the relatively high heat of vaporization of water, most of the cooling energy in this regime goes to condensation and little to temperature reduction.

Steam and Water Injection for Power Augmentation Injecting steam or water into the head end of the combustor for NOx abatement increases mass flow and, therefore, output. Generally, the amount of water is limited to the amount required to meet the NOx requirement in order to minimize operating cost and impact on inspection intervals. Steam injection for power augmentation has been an available option on GE gas turbines for over 30 years. When steam is injected for power augmentation, it can be introduced into the compressor discharge casing of the gas turbine as well as the combustor. The effect on output and heat rate is the same as that shown in Figure 14. GE gas turbines are designed to allow up to 5% of the compressor airflow for steam injection to the combustor and compressor discharge. Steam must contain 50 F/28 C superheat and be at pressures comparable to fuel gas pressures. When either steam or water is used for power augmentation, the control system is normally designed to allow only the amount needed for NOx abatement until the machine reaches base (full) load. At that point, additional steam or water can be admitted via the governor control.

Peak Rating The performance values listed in Table 1 are base load ratings. ANSI B133.6 Ratings and

GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



Performance defines base load as operation at 8,000 hours per year with 800 hours per start. It also defines peak load as operation at 1250 hours per year with five hours per start. In recognition of shorter operating hours, it is possible to increase firing temperature to generate more output. The penalty for this type of operation is shorter inspection intervals. Despite this, running an MS5001, MS6001 or MS7001 at peak may be a cost-effective way to obtain more kilowatts without the need for additional peripheral equipment. Generators used with gas turbines likewise have peak ratings that are obtained by operating at higher power factors or temperature rises. Peak cycle ratings are ratings that are customized to the mission of the turbine considering both starts and hours of operation. Firing temperatures between base and peak can be selected to maximize the power capabilities of the turbine while staying within the starts limit envelope of the turbine hot section repair interval. For instance, the 7EA can operate for 24,000 hours on gas fuel at base load, as defined. The starts limit to hot section repair interval is 800 starts. For peaking cycle of five hours per start, the hot section repair interval would occur at 4,000 hours, which corresponds to operation at peak firing temperatures. Turbine missions between five hours per start and 800 hours per start may allow firing temperatures to increase above base but below peak without sacrificing hours to hot section repair. Water injection for power augmentation may be factored into the peak cycle rating to further maximize output.

Performance Degradation All turbomachinery experiences losses in performance with time. Gas turbine performance degradation can be classified as recoverable or non-recoverable loss. Recoverable loss is usually

14

GE Gas Turbine Performance Characteristics associated with compressor fouling and can be partially rectified by water washing or, more thoroughly, by mechanically cleaning the compressor blades and vanes after opening the unit. Non-recoverable loss is due primarily to increased turbine and compressor clearances and changes in surface finish and airfoil contour. Because this loss is caused by reduction in component efficiencies, it cannot be recovered by operational procedures, external maintenance or compressor cleaning, but only through replacement of affected parts at recommended inspection intervals. Quantifying performance degradation is difficult because consistent, valid field data is hard to obtain. Correlation between various sites is impacted by variables such as mode of operation, contaminants in the air, humidity, fuel and dilutent injection levels for NOx. Another problem is that test instruments and procedures vary widely, often with large tolerances. Typically, performance degradation during the first 24,000 hours of operation (the normally recommended interval for a hot gas path inspection) is 2% to 6% from the performance test measurements when corrected to guaranteed conditions. This assumes degraded parts are not replaced. If replaced, the expected performance degradation is 1% to 1.5%. Recent field experience indicates that frequent off-line water washing is not only effective in reducing recoverable loss, but also reduces the rate of non-recoverable loss. One generalization that can be made from the data is that machines located in dry, hot climates typically degrade less than those in humid climates.

Verifying Gas Turbine Performance Once the gas turbine is installed, a performance test is usually conducted to determine

GE Power Systems GER-3567H (10/00) ■



power plant performance. Power, fuel, heat consumption and sufficient supporting data should be recorded to enable as-tested performance to be corrected to the condition of the guarantee. Preferably, this test should be done as soon as practical, with the unit in new and clean condition. In general, a machine is considered to be in new and clean condition if it has less than 200 fired hours of operation. Testing procedures and calculation methods are patterned after those described in the ASME Performance Test Code PTC-22-1997, “Gas Turbine Power Plants.” Prior to testing, all station instruments used for primary data collection must be inspected and calibrated. The test should consist of sufficient test points to ensure validity of the test set-up. Each test point should consist of a minimum of four complete sets of readings taken over a 30-minute time period when operating at base load. Per ASME PTC-221997, the methodology of correcting test results to guarantee conditions and measurement uncertainties (approximately 1% on output and heat rate when testing on gas fuel) shall be agreed upon by the parties prior to the test.

Detection of Gas Leakage and Hydrogen Purity Formulas

I. INTRODUCTION The generator casing and all the gas piping must be given an air leakage test to determine that only a minimum amount of leakage will occur before hydrogen is introduced. Also, it is sometimes necessary to test the generator for gas leakage after it has been placed in hydrogen operation. The following describes various methods which have been successfully used in detecting leaks in the gas system of hydrogencooled generators and gives information pertinent to conducting leakage tests. These instructions also contain formulas for calculating the amount of gas leakage from the generator and for determining how much hydrogen must be added to the generator to obtain a desired increase in hydrogen purity. The formulas for gas leakage are used when the generator is being tested for leaks before being placed in operation. II. PURPOSE Although the generator casing and the several component parts of the seal–oil and gas systems are pressure tested for gas leaks at the factory, there are many joints in the equipment which must be made up during assembly in the field; hence, leakage tests on the assembled generator and the connected equipment must be made.

WARNING IF HYDROGEN LEAKAGE QUANTITY DETECTED FOR ANY UNIT EXCEEDS 200 CUBIC FEET PER DAY, THE UNIT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND INSPECTED. III. METHODS OF LEAK DETECTION A. Soapy Water A mixture of liquid soap, glycerin and water, applied with a brush to the joints of the gas system, with the latter under pressure, will indicate leaks by bubbling of the liquid. A suitable commercial preparation is “Leak-Tec” (formula 372-E), manufactured by American Gas & Chemicals Co. B. Flammable Gas Detectors This type of instrument may be used for leak detection when the generator contains hydrogen. This type of detector is designed to read in percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of a hydrogen-air mixture (4% hydrogen in 100% air). The “Explosimeter” manufactured by Mine Safety Appliances Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been used successfully in the detection of hydrogen leaks. C. Ultrasonic Leak Detector This type of detector utilizes the ultrasonic energy generated by molecular collisions as gas escapes from or enters a small orifice. The probe of the detector is directional, which allows it to be used in a manner similar to a flashlight to search for leaks. When the probe is pointed toward a leak, sound from the headphones or speaker will increase. As the probe is moved closer to the leak, the sound will increase further in intensity.

D. Multiple Gas Detectors This type of leak detector is sensitive to a wide range of different gases in air. It detects inert gases (such as helium), flammable gases (hydrogen), corrosive gases (ammonia, chlorine), halogens (Freon) and also carbon dioxide. Its versatility is due to the use of temperature-compensated, solidstate detectors which sense the thermal conductivity characteristic of gases. The “Qualicheck Series” leak detectors manufactured by Uson Corporation, Houston, Texas, are good examples of this device. E. Odorants If the aforementioned methods of leak detection should be unsuccessful or not available, an odorant may be introduced into the gas system. This will usually indicate the general area of the leak, after which the leak may be traced to its source by one of the foregoing methods. Ether and Captan are two odorants which have been successfully employed –the latter being obtainable from the Natural Gas Odorizing Company, Houston, Texas. F. Halogen Leak Detectors CAUTION Do not use halogen-type leak detectors in a combustible or explosive atmosphere. The halogen leak detectors are portable, usually with a hand-held probe. The detectors are designed for detecting leaks in a pressurized system where halogen compound gases (such as Freon 12) are used as a tracer gas to check for leaks (refer to section on use of Freon 12). General Electric “Type H” or the General Electric “Ferret-type” halogen leak detectors (formerly manufactured by the Yokogawa Corporation of America, Shenandoah, Georgia) has been used successfully in the detection of air leaks with a Freon tracer. If the leakage test with a Halogen Leak Detector is made with the generator at standstill, no special precautions need be observed. At ordinary temperatures Freon 12 is inert and can cause no damage to the generator parts. With an air in the casing while the generator is in operation, corona may be present at the ends of the armature winding which could decompose the Freon 12 present into hydrogen chloride gas. This gas, in combination with any water vapor present, will form hydrochloric acid vapor that could damage the iron parts of the generator. To avoid damage, the following rules relative to the use of Freon 12 have been formulated. If Freon 12 is introduced with the generator at standstill, purge out the Freon 12 before placing the generator in operation. If the leakage test is made with air, prior to operation in hydrogen, this condition will be automatically fulfilled since the air and Freon 12 would be purged with carbon dioxide before admitting hydrogen. At first, it is best to admit only about one half-pound (0.23 kg) of Freon per 500 cubic feet (14 m3) of generator volume. If the leaks are small and difficult to find, the amount of Freon used may be increased to 1 lb. (0.45 kg) per 500 cubic feet (14 m3) of volume. The amount of Freon used should be consistent with the sensitivity of the leak detector being utilized.

IV. TESTING A. Initial Conditions A leakage test should first be made with air pressure and with the generator at a standstill. The shaft sealing system must, therefore, be in operation. The air used for the leakage test should be reasonably dry. B. Initial Testing with Air The pressure decay test can be done in air or hydrogen, while the unit is operating on turning gear or at standstill. For initial testing air is preferred due to safety and availability. It is important that the measurements of pressure and temperature be made as accurately as possible. Relatively small errors in measurements have a very significant effect on the calculated consumption. Readings should be taken periodically during the test period; for example, every 4 hours during a 24-hour test. This will generate several consumption rates which can be averaged. This procedure will help eliminate errors due to measurement tolerances. 1. Raise the air pressure in the casing to 15 to 30 psig (1.03 to 207 kPa). Maintain the pressure while all joints of the generator, the storage tank, the connecting gas piping, as well as the seal drain piping are tested. 2. Coat joints with a solution of liquid soap, glycerin, and water, as discussed in Section III.A. Any leakage will cause bubbling of this solution. 3. As soon as all apparent leaks have been stopped, close off the air line and record the pressure. 4. After the machine has been allowed to stand for several hours, calculate the amount of leakage from the change in air pressure, using equation (2) in Section VII.C. The drop in air pressure at constant temperature during a twenty–four hour period, starting from an initial pressure of about 15 psig (103 kPa), should not exceed 0.5 psi (3.4 kPa). This would correspond to a hydrogen leakage of approximately 21 cubic feet (0.59 m3) per day, assuming a casing volume of 1,000 cubic feet (28 m3). C. Final Testing with Hydrogen 1. After the casing has been filled with hydrogen, repeat the leakage test with a portable instrument reading percent of hydrogen in air, as discussed in Section III.B. 2. Raise the hydrogen pressure to about 20% (140 kPa) and test the hydrogen accessories and their connecting piping for leakage. 3. After the machine has been allowed to stand for several hours, calculate the amount of leakage from the change in H2 pressure, using equation (2) in Section VII.C. D. Hydrogen Sampling of Generator Bearing Bracket Gas sampling ports are provided in bearing brackets or bearing cap of hydrogen–cooled generators to permit sampling of the atmosphere of the inner cavity of the bracket. At initial operation of the generator in hydrogen, check air samples from the bearing bracket using a sensitive gas analyzer calibrated for hydrogen as discussed in Section III.B. The presence of a significant percentage of hydrogen in the atmosphere of the bracket may indicate a mechanical joint or gasket leakage, or improper venting of the bearing drain enlargement.

V. PROCEDURE FOR LOCATING LEAKS In searching for leakage, the flow chart in Figure 1 can be useful as a “process of elimination” method of determining the area of the source of leakage. It has also been found useful to make leakage tests with different sections of the gas system piping isolated from the generator through the closing of valves, and the gas supply shut off; meanwhile taking readings of gas pressure, gas temperature and barometric pressure at regular intervals. A curve of absolute gas pressure with time is plotted, the slope of which, at constant gas temperature, is proportional to the leakage rate. If on closing the valves isolating a given section of the system, the curve shows a significant decrease in slope, a leak in the section isolated is indicated. Such a test should be made, preferably, with the generator at standstill. However, by exercising proper care that the normal operation of the generator is not impaired, the test may be made with the generator in operation. In the latter case, operation at a practically constant load is desirable; otherwise the slope of the pressure time versus curve will not indicate the true leakage rate. With a given section of the gas system isolated from the generator, the remaining sections should be explored for leaks. When the section or sections in which the major leaks occur are found from analysis of the pressure-time curve, the search for the actual location of the leaks may be concentrated on these sections. A very small hole or crack is usually very difficult to locate. A great deal of diligence must be used in searching for these defects as they can leak a significant amount of gas. For example, one 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) hole can emit 175 cubic feet (5.0 m3) of hydrogen per day from a machine pressurized at 75 psig (517 kPa). VI. POSSIBLE SOURCES OF GAS LEAKAGE The various sections into which the gas system of a hydrogen-cooled generator may be considered as being divided for a leakage investigation are described in the following paragraphs. A. Stator Casing Leakage sources include: flanged joints between end shields and casing; between casing sections (domes, with some type of construction); between end shield sections (leakage from the joints may frequently be detected at bolt heads, hence these must be checked); gasketed cooler joints; packing glands for temperature detector leads; Gas Turbine-Generator well; welded joints between gas piping casing; access opening covers; high voltage bushings; and weld joints in the casing itself. B. Seal Oil Drain System Possible leakage sources include welds and valves in the seal oil drain piping, hydrogen detraining tank assembly, seal oil float trap assembly, and liquid detector assembly. Leakage past the float trap valve may be detected at the bearing drain enlargement (or BDE) vent. C. Gas Piping The gas piping lines should be checked for leaks at piping connections to the generator’s casing, at weld joints, at flanged joints and at shut-off valves. All vent lines for purging and relief valves must be checked. Discharge should be checked for leakage through the relief or shut-off valve. D. Hydrogen Control Cabinet The leakage sources in the hydrogen control cabinet include compression-type tube fittings, brazed joints, valves, gas analyzer components, pressure gauges, pressure switches, flowmeter, differential pressure gauge and pressure transmitter. The entire cabinet may be isolated from the rest of gas control system for the purpose of leak testing. © 2012 General Electric Company. All Rights Reserved.

E. Liquid-Cooled Winding Equipment Should a leak develop in the liquid cooled windings, hydrogen would enter the liquid cooling system because the gas pressure is normally higher than the water pressure. If a leak is present, hydrogen will be detected at the stator cooling system vent line. NOTE There is a normal permeation of gas through the flexible hoses of the liquid cooling system that may result in a loss of 2 to 3 cubic feet (0.057 to 0.085 m3) per day. If a significantly large quantity of hydrogen is detected at the YTV vent, a General Electric Company representative should be contacted for aid in pinpointing and correcting this type of leak. F. Miscellaneous Gas Equipment The piping, valves, welds, flanges and the components of the hydrogen manifold, CO2 manifold, gas dryer, liquid detectors, core monitor, pyrolysate collector and the purchaser’s bulk gas supply system are all possible sources of leakage. G. Field (Rotor) Terminal Packing Leakage in this section may be detected at the collector rings with a leak detecting instrument or an odorant as described in Section III. H. Valve in Purging Vent Line A test plug is provided in vent line to check for leakage through this valve, using a detecting instrument or an odorant as described in Section III. I. Scavenging Flowmeters For units with the scavenging system, loss of hydrogen through these instruments may be calculated from the equation; cubic feet of pure hydrogen lost per day = 0.051 KRZ, where K = flowmeter purity correction factor, R = flowmeter reading (sccm), and Z = per unit purity of scavenged hydrogen.

J. Bearing Enclosure in Outer End Shields (See typical collector end sectional view of end shield in GEK95110 or GEK95211. Leakage into this area may occur by one of the following: a. the shaft seals due to insufficient seal oil pressure b. an improper joint between the seal housing and the end shield c. the seal housing d. the welded pocket in the lower half of the end shield that is part of the hydrogen side seal oil drain to the hydrogen detraining tank e. improper end shield horizontal joint Leakage into this area may be detected most conveniently when hydrogen is in the generator, with the use of a flammable gas detector, as described in Section III.B. Leakage may first be detected at the vent from the auxiliary detraining tank. A slight negative pressure will exist in the bearing enclosure, which is created by the flow of oil through the drain lines acting as an air pump. Due to the negative pressure it may be necessary to use an aspirator with the flammable gas detector. There may be a 0.04 to 0.08% concentration of hydrogen in air mixture detected at the vent even without any abnormal leakage. Hydrogen that has become dissolved in the oil is released to the atmosphere in the auxiliary detraining tank. (The vent line from the loop seal may tie directly into this vent line as well.) If a high concentration of hydrogen in air is detected at the Bearing Drain Enlargement vent, there may be a problem with the float trap valve, seal oil flow is excessive making it difficult for the seal oil drain enlargement to function properly, or gas is leaking into the bearing enclosure. A test plug is provided in each bearing cap to permit detection of leakage into the bearing enclosure. Blow air through the test opening to remove any oil before using the leak detector. Apply the gas detector at the test openings in the bearing caps to determine which end of the generator gives the highest percentage of hydrogen. A slight trace of hydrogen will sometimes be detected at both ends, due to a minute leak in the joint. However, for a large leak, a reading of possibly 60 to 70% of the lower explosive limit of 4% hydrogen in air could be observed. To check for leakage through the shaft seals to the bearing enclosure, increase the differential seal oil pressure in 2 psi (14 kPa) increments. Correction of the leak would be indicated by obtaining a reduction in the reading of the gas detector at the test openings in the bearing caps, or a decrease in the calculated leakage rate. If an increase in seal oil pressure causes no reduction in the readings of the gas detector, leakage at the joint between the seal housing and the end shield, the seal housing, the welded pocket connected with the seal drain, or the horizontal end shield joint is indicated. If the leak should be in the joint between the seal housing and the end shield, and the seal housing, or the horizontal end shield joint (all within the bearing enclosure), the concentration of the hydrogen in the gas mixture in the vent line will be relatively low (compared to the LEL).

If the leak should be in the welded pocket connected with seal drain, at the bottom of the end shield, or at a point below the oil level in the bearing drain compartment, a high concentration of hydrogen in the vent from the bearing drain enlargement would be measured, possibly between 30 and 40% hydrogen in air, as a result of the large amount of hydrogen that would be entrained in the bearing oil from such a leak. To measure a hydrogen concentration of this magnitude with a flammable gas detector requires the use of a dilution valve. To locate the source of leakage in the bearing enclosure with the generator shut down and the bearing cap removed; a flammable gas detector may be used. If the leak can be covered with soapy water, its size may be approximately determined from Section VII.A. In the case of a leak in the welded pocket or the joint between the seal housing and lower half of the end shield, which may not readily be located with detecting instruments, it is frequently possible, with either hydrogen or air under pressure in the generator, to locate the leak by closing the bearing drain opening with a wooden plug and filling the lower half of the end shield with oil up to the underside of the shaft. The appearance of large bubbles will indicate the presence of a leak, and the size of the leak may be calculated approximately from the size and rate of formation of the bubbles, using Section VII.A. VII. EVALUATION OF LEAKS A. Leak Size The approximate size of a leak may frequently be estimated by noting the size and rate of formation of the bubbles in soapy water or in oil. If the leak is at a flanged pipe joint, wrap friction tape around the joint and pierce the tape at one point, then apply soapy water to the opening. It is sometimes useful to build a partial enclosure around the leak, using putty or a similar material. Then fill the enclosure with water or oil and note the size and rate of formation of the bubbles. If it is possible to completely enclose the leak, pass the leakage through the flowmeter in the portable gas analyzer; or a displacement meter may be improvised by inverting a glass container in a pail of water, a tube from the enclosure being inserted in the mouth of the container and the time required to displace the water from it measured. If one of the hydrogen flowmeters is used with air, the scale reading must be multiplied by 0.263; or if a flowmeter (such as the one in the portable gas analyzer) calibrated in air is used with hydrogen, the scale reading must be divided by 0.263. Multiply cubic centimeters per minute by 0.051 to obtain cubic feet per day. B. Gas Consumption Gas is depleted from the generator by both leakage from pressure-containing parts, e.g., frame and end shield joints, weld joints and piping, and by entrainment into the seal oil. Total gas consumption (Total) when the unit is in operation or on turning gear is

Ltotal = L frame + Loil + Lscav

(1)

where: Lframe = gas leakage from generator frame Loil = gas entrainment in seal oil Lscav = total rate of scavenging from hydrogen control panel

where: Ltotal is calculated in ft3/day for the average pressure and temperature at STP during the test period. Standard temperature and pressure (STP) volumes are the equivalent volume of gas at “room temperature” (68°F or 20°C) and atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia or 101.3 kPa) H = duration of test, (hr) V = gas volume of the generator system, (ft3) B1 and B2 = initial and final barometric pressures for the test, typically 14.7 psia P1 and P2 = initial and final generator test pressures, measured with respect to atmospheric pressure, (psig) T1 and T2 = initial and final gas temperatures for the test, (ºF) 4.

Hydrogen will leak through joints or holes at a much higher rate than air but will be lost through entrainment in the

seal oil only slightly faster. It is, therefore, necessary to separate the two components of total air consumption, e.g., air leaked and air entrained. The volume solubility of air in oil (A) is approximately 11% at room temperature. This value is relatively independent of pressure at pressures less than 5 atmospheres. Thus, the loss of air from the generator casing (Loa) by entrainment into the seal oil for equilibrium conditions, is determined from the following equation:

⎛ B+ P⎞ ⎛ B+ P⎞ Loa = 385⎜ ⎟ AQS fa = 21.2⎜ ⎟Q ⎝ B ⎠ ⎝ B ⎠

(3a)

where: Loa = air entrained in seal oil, (ft3/day) B = baraometric pressure, typically 14.7 psia P = Gas pressure in generator, (psig) Q = seal oil flow to gas side seals, (gpm) Sfa = saturation factor for air = 0.5 (this factor has been determined empirically; it takes into account the amount of air actually entrained in the seal oil), and, in metric units,

⎛ B+ P⎞ ⎛ B+ P⎞ Loa = 86.4⎜ ⎟ AQS fa = 4.75⎜ ⎟Q Loa = 86 .4 ( B + P ) AQS fa = 4.75 ( B + P )Q (3b) B B ⎝ B ⎠ ⎝ B ⎠ where: Loa = air entrained in seal oil, (m3/day) B = baraometric pressure, typically 101.3 kPa P = Gas pressure in generator, (kPa) (gauge) Q = seal oil flow to gas side seals, (L/s) 5. The amount of hydrogen that would be entrained if the test were run in hydrogen, considering that the volume solubility (H) is approximately 6% at atmospheric pressure, as given by:

Subtracting the entrained air from the total air consumption leaves that portion which has leaked through the frame and associated piping.

Lea = Lta − Loa

(6)

where: Lta = total air consumption Lea = air which has leaked through the frame and piping A 98% mixture of hydrogen and air will leak 3.38 times faster than air because of the difference in molecular make-up. therefore:

Leh = 3.38Lea

where: Leh = hydrogen which has leaked through the frame and piping Total equivalent hydrogen consumption is the sum of entrained and leaked gas from equations (5) and (7):

Lth = Loh + Leh

(8)

where: Lth = total hydrogen consumption Pressure decay tests performed with the unit on turning gear or at standstill will yield values of consumption less than can be expected during normal operation. This is because the seal oil flows are greater when the unit is at speed. Gas lost through entrainment will increase in proportion to gas side seal oil flow. Equations (2) or (8) give total gas consumption at the test pressure. To determine gas consumption at other than the test pressure the following correction can be applied to the leakage portion:

D. Increasing the Hydrogen Purity During operation of a hydrogen-cooled generator it is sometimes necessary to increase the purity of the hydrogen in the generator. This is done by admitting fresh hydrogen and discharging an equal amount of gas to atmosphere. Assuming perfect diffusion of the entering hydrogen with the gas in the generator, the amount of fresh hydrogen of purity S0 required to increase the hydrogen purity from S1 to S2 is

⎡ S − S1 ⎤ ⎛B+P⎞ Q h = 2.3V ⎜ ⎟ log 10 ⎢ o ⎥ (10) ⎝ B ⎠ ⎣ So − S2 ⎦ where: Qh = amount of fresh hydrogen of purity S0 added at atmospheric pressure, (ft3) or (m3) V = gas volume of the generator, (ft3) or (m3) P = pressure in generator, (psig) or (kPa {gauge}) B = atmospheric pressure, typically 14.7 psia or 101.3 kPa S0 = hydrogen supply purity, (%) S1 = initial generator purity, (%) S2 = final generator purity, (%) NOTE Qh and V must be chosen so that they are in the same consistent set of units, e.g., either (ft3) or (m3).

where: Qs = amount of fresh hydrogen added while unit is a standstill, (ft3) or (m3) K = volumetric flow correction factor (found on Figure 2) In Figure 2. , values of Qh/V(B/B+P) have been calculated from equation (10) for different values of desired final purity with the machine in operation and assuming that S0 = 99.6%. From these curves it is possible to determine the amount of fresh hydrogen (in standard volumetric units) required to produce a desired increase in generator hydrogen purity.

E. Hydrogen Purity when Emergency Seal Oil System is in Operation (for Vacuum-Treated Seal Oil Systems Only) During operation of the emergency seal oil system, the shaft seals are supplied with oil that has not been vacuum-treated. Air from the oil will be released into the generator casing. This will gradually reduce the hydrogen purity. The generator must be scavenged periodically with fresh hydrogen in order to keep the hydrogen purity at a satisfactory value. Scavenging will be necessary any time the vacuum pump is not operating properly. Figure 3 shows the estimated drop in hydrogen purity for a typical generator when the seals are supplied with untreated oil. This graph shows that the hydrogen purity will decrease at the rate of about 2% in 8 hours.

Figure 3. Decrease in Machine Purity with Time; Seals Supplied with Untreated Oil To overcome this drop in purity, the casing must be scavenged at regular intervals. This is done by admitting fresh hydrogen to the generator and discharging gas from the generator to the atmosphere. The rate of which hydrogen must be added to the generator may be determined from the estimated rate of air entering the generator with the sealing oil similar to the calculation for a unit operating with a scavenging system. F. Evaluating Leak Rate Using Bubble Test 1. The volume of a bubble created during a leak test, may be calculated using equations (12).

Evaluating Leak Rate at Bearing Drain Enlargement Vent In evaluating a large leak of hydrogen from a generator, we can see from the leak detection flow chart and in the section on sources of gas leakage that it may be advantageous to check for leakage of hydrogen with a flammable gas detector at the vent from the auxiliary detraining tank. Detection of hydrogen from the vent will mean a bearing enclosure or float trap leak. It will be advantageous to determine the approximate amount of hydrogen flowing out the vent to determine if these areas are the main source of the large leakage.

To determine the total approximate flowrate out the vent a velocity meter (anemometer) should be used; however, the “bag” method can be utilized. Take a bag (plastic) of known volume and place it over the vent and note the time it takes to fill up. Assume a 10 ft3 (283 l) bag was used and it took 26 seconds to fill. This results in a flowrate of approximately 33,333 ft3 (944 m3) per day out of the vent. If three percent of that flowrate is hydrogen, this would equal approximately 1,000 ft3 (28 m3) per day. Most of the expected hydrogen consumption of 500 ft3 (14 m3) per day will go out the vent under normal conditions; therefore, the additional 500 ft3 (14 m3) per day measured leakage may be the result of a float trap problem or leak into the bearing enclosure area. NOTE If concentrations of greater than the lower explosive limit are detected, a portable gas analyzer should be used to determine the concentration of hydrogen in air.

seconds, the turning gear will engage and keep the turbine on slow roll. The turbine speed contact (L14HT) is used for stopping the turning gear on acceleration and restarting on deceleration. The turbine speed contact (L14HA) is used for deenergizing the lift oil isolation valve on acceleration and energizing on deceleration. Once the static starter accelerates the unit above the speed setpoint L14HT (TNK14HT1), the turning gear run command (L4TG) will drop out. The lift oil system will continue to provide lift to the bearings until accelerating speed (L14HA), at which time the lift oil isolation valve will close. When the turbine decelerates past accelerating speed TNK14HA2, the lift oil solenoid valve will energize and provide lift oil. On coastdown, once the unit decelerates below speed setpoint (TNK14HT2), the turning gear will re-engage as long as sufficient lift oil pressure is present. The hydraulic pumps, lift oil, and turning gear will then remain operating throughout the remainder of the cooldown period (L62CD). A fault detection signal (L86QBFLT) will also allow the turning gear to start if the unit is coasting down and the lift oil is not functioning. This run signal to the hydraulic pumps latches in with signal L1Z, which means that even if the turbine is tripped, the hydraulic pumps will continue to run throughout the cooldown period.

04.04.00 STATIC STARTER

The Static Starter uses a Load Commutated Inverter (LCI) to drive the generator as a motor to accelerate the turbine through the starting sequence. The Speedtronic sends various speed references representing each stage of startup to the LCI, along with 2 contacts to permit the LCI to run and to make torque. The LCI also makes excitation control commands to the Exciter (EX2100) in order to effectively control the generator motoring properties. A turning gear is used to break the rotor away from a dead stop, and slowly roll the rotor for cooldown.

04.05.00 FIRED SHUTDOWN

The FSRSD algorithm controls the gas turbine fuel during a fired shutdown by initiating FSR ramp down at appropriate events until FSRMIN is intercepted.

04.05.01 SHUTDOWN FUEL STROKE REFERENCE

When the generator breaker opens, the shutdown FSR (FSRSD) ramps from the existing FSR to FSRMIN at set rate FSKSD3 (FSRSD latches onto FSRMIN and decreases with corrected speed); when the speed drops below a defined threshold (K60RB) FSRSD ramps to a blowout at one flame detector. The sequencing logic remembers which flame detectors are functional at breaker open. When any of the functional flame detectors loses flame, FSRSD then ramps down at fast rate (FSKSD5) until fuel is shutoff with flameout. Timers limit the duration of the ramp to blowout. One timer trips after a fixed time from ramp down. A second timer limits fuel after any functional flame detector drops out.

04.05.02 MINIMUM FSR

Minimum FSR is the least amount of fuel that will continue to maintain flame in the combustor. It is required to ensure that other forms of FSR control cannot call for a fuel level that will cause the flame to blow out. Minimum FSR is calculated by performing a linear interpolation as a function of corrected speed (TNHCOR). During startup on gas fuel, FSRMIN is generated from a four point linear interpolator using constants FSKMINU[0], FSKMINU[1], FSKMINU[2], AND FSKMINU[3] and corresponding speed constants FSKMINN[0], FSKMINN[1], FSKMINN[2] AND FSKMINN[3].

05.00.00 SECTION 5 - FUEL CONTROL

05.00.01 FUEL STROKE REFERENCE

The FSR algorithm compares all of the calculated fuel stroke references (except FSRMIN) and selects the minimum value as the controlling FSR. The value of FSR is limited to anything less than or equal to the value of load_lim. If FSR is running at or below FSRMIN, the control generates a TRUE logic output at L30FMIN. The lowest (and therefore dominant) FSR value input to FSRMIN is reflected in an enumerated state output, as well as a set of logical outputs. Unused FSR inputs should be set to maximum values so they will not affect control of the turbine.

05.00.03 MANUAL FUEL STROKE REFERENCE

FSR manual control is an open loop fuel control used to suppress the fuel stroke reference in the FSR minimum select gate algorithm. The FSR setpoint is preset at 128% out of the way. The FSRMAN below 128% alarms indicating that the FSRMAN is not at the maximum value. The setpoint may be adjusted with the following three methods: raise and lower commands, analog setpoint, or the preset button which sets FSRMAN equal to FSR.

05.00.035 FSR RATE OF CHANGE LIMITS

The rate of change of FSR algorithm logic, identifies when an excessive FSR rate of change has been detected. Logic signals change state if the increasing or decreasing rates have exceeded the alarm settings for three scans. The change must have exceeded a magnitude for the duration of three successive scans. The detected rate of FSR/sec is set by LK60FSR1/2/3/4/5/6.

Continuous monitoring of the control valve position feedback signal then comparing this signal to the reference allows the control system to monitor the error in the actual valve position. If this error becomes greater than the allowed deviation, an alarm will annunciate. If this error continues over an additional time period, the unit will trip. Failure to control valve position properly will cause inaccurate load control and inaccurate flow split control. Inaccurate flow split control can cause combustor to operate in regions of high dynamics, high temperatures, and high emissions.

Gas Fuel Protection sequencing provides monitoring and diagnostics, perform leakage diagnostics across the Stop/Speed Ratio valve and Control Valves by performing a number of tests during startup and warm-up, to prevent the gas turbine from excessive or low fuel at light-off, to prevent wind-up of the machine. The purpose of the Gas Leak Test is to check the integrity of the Fuel Gas System Valves at every startup and shutdown. There are two tests performed: the Gas Stop/Speed Ratio Valve Test and the Interstage Leakage Test, performed on startup just after the machine moves off cranking speed and again at shutdown after flameout. These tests monitor the leakage rates across the valves by stroking the valves and monitoring the pressure in the P2 cavity. The test first performs the Fuel Gas Stop/Speed Ratio Valve leakage test by closing the fuel gas vent valve (20VG-1) and monitoring the pressure across the valve. If the interstage pressure rises above K86GLTA psi, the machine will not be allowed to fire via a pre-ignition trip. The second test performs the Interstage Leakage Test of the Gas Control Valves and Vent Valve. Pressure is introduced into the cavity and monitored. If the pressure drops below line pressure minus K86GLTB psi, the machine will not be allowed to fire via a pre-ignition trip. If either test fails the unit should not be fired until the problem has been resolved. The valve in question should be identified and inspected for any dirt or particulate build up, any visible seal damage, or re-calibrated to ensure proper functionality. The Pre-Ignition P2 Pressure High protection sequencing makes sure that the P2 cavity is clear of any interstage valve pressure when 20VG-1 is open, just prior to light-off. If the interstage valve pressure FPG2 exceeds KFPG2IH psi increasing pressure, the machine will not be allowed to fire. After firing and before warm-up complete, the P2 pressure is monitored to ensure that it is within a predetermined pressure window. If the P2 pressure is outside the window, (L86FPG2HT and L86FPG2LT) the gas turbine will trip. The Stop/Speed Ratio Valve Not Tracking compares the actual position of the valve to the desired position during the warm-up of the machine. If the Stop/Speed Ratio Valve is not following the reference value (L3GRVT), the gas turbine will trip. If the expected P2 pressure drops below the required setpoint for fuel splits when the generator breaker is closed, the unit will perform a runback (L3FG_P2X) to prevent wind-up of the fuel gas system to prevent an overspeed condition in the event full pressure is restored.

05.02.18 SLIDING P2 PRESSUE CONTROL DESCRITPION

P2 Reference Generation The fuel pressure reference upstream of the GCV is the median value of three control curves: FPRGCRIT, FPRGSUP, and the minimum of FPRGN and FPRGTAMB. FPRGCRIT is the minimum P2 pressure required in order to maintain choked GCVs. It is composed of two CPD-based curves and passes a value of 0 psi when the breaker is open. FPRGSUP is the supply pressure (FG1) minus a pressure drop across the SRV. FPRGN is the speedbased pressure reference, calculated as follows: FPRGN = FPKGNG * TNH + FPKGNO FPRGTAMB is an ambient temperature bias from FPRGN, derived from base load at each ambient temperature extreme. A plot of these pressure reference components is shown below:

System Protection System protection from low gas supply pressures prevents the gas turbine from operating in regions of possible high dynamics, SRV wind-up, and uncontrollability of GCVs. As FPG2 nears the FPRGCRIT line, a Raise Inhibit will prevent the unit from operating at higher loads without the required supply pressure. If FPG2 drops some deadband below FPRGCRIT for a certain amount of time, a trip will occur. The unit will be allowed to unload along FPRGCRIT in Premix Mode as supply pressure decreases. If the unit has unloaded to the point of transferring to Piloted Premix, the unit will trip. A higher gas supply pressure is needed to complete the transfer. The unit will not be allowed to operate in Extended Piloted Premix mode. If a G1 Purge Valve Error occurs in Premix, the result is a runback to the Piloted Premix to Premix transfer point. As the SRV nears the full open position, the unit will perform a fast runback until the valve is in safe operating range. This is also true for the GCVs at the normal All rights reserved.

05.10.001 DLN2+ COMBUSTION REFERENCE COMPARATORS

This software contains three combustion reference temperature comparators which trigger the transfers. The first comparator is used in conjunction with L14HS in order to transfer from diffusion to sub piloted premix. The other comparators trigger transfers from sub piloted premix to piloted premix, and from piloted premix to premix, respectively. Each of these temperature comparators employs a deadband and time delay to drop out. In addition each comparator has an anti-cycle timer, which prevents the comparator from picking up again after it drops out until the anti-cycle timer expires. The purpose of the anti-cycle timer is to prevent rapid cycling between combustion modes in the event of an oscillating combustion reference temperature.

05.10.011 DLN2+ FSR COMPENSATION FOR PURGE INTRODUCTION

Initiation of transfers involving purging of an active manifold can result in a load swing as the fuel is being displaced into the combustor by the incoming purge air. The magnitude of this transient depends on the purge valve characteristics, the initial stored mass of fuel in the piping, and fuel nozzle flow characteristics. Compensation for this effect, by ramping the gas control valve FSR to a lower value, until the transfer has been completed will reduce the load swing. The ramp rates,

maximum reduction of FSR, and the time delay constants may require adjustment in the field. If this compensation did not take place to prevent or at least minimize the load spike, machines employing constant settable drop would follow the over firing transient with an under firing transient. During the load spike, droop control would ramp down FSRN to compensate for the extra fuel being exhausted from the manifold which is to being purge, however the effect of extra fuel from the manifold being purged decays very rapidly at which point the firing temperature undershoots as FSR is lower than when the event began.

05.10.021 DLN2+ FLOW SPLITS TO VALVE STROKE REFERENCE

For G1 and G2, the appropriate flow reference for each mode is selected and passed to FXSGn, which is then either passed through a rate control or rate bypass loop to generate the flow reference as a percentage of total fuel FXSGnC. The rate bypass loop is used when the valve needs to be stepped to the reference rather than moved there under ramp control. For example, if the unit is running in piloted premix and there is a breaker open event, all the fuel needs to be sent to the G1 valve immediately, both FXSG1 and FXSG1C will be stepped to 100%. On the other hand, when transferring from sub piloted premix to piloted premix, FXSG1 will step from FXSG1_LC (G1 sub piloted reference) to FXSG1_HC (G1 piloted reference). FXSG1C will ramp between these values so diffusion fuel will ramp off in a smooth linear fashion while premix fuel is ramped on via G2 and G3. Each of the gas valves operates with a critical pressure drop, which makes the mass flow through each gas valve independent of downstream pressure (gas manifold pressure). Provided that the pressure drop remains critical, mass flow is then a function of upstream pressure (P2), gas temperature, and valve stroke. For constant gas temperature and inlet pressure (P2), the flow is only a function of valve stroke. The stop-speed-ratio-valve is controlled to maintain a constant P2 pressure, which is the inlet pressure to each of the three gas control valves. To balance fuel-flowsplit between differently sized gas control valves, a CG-reference needs to be used to determine the appropriate valve stroke. After generating the flow reference to each gas valve (FQRGnX), the flow reference is converted to a CG reference FQRGnCG. Note: CG is called the gas sizing coefficient, which relates critical flow across the valve to inlet (P2) pressure. The CG-reference is then converted to a valve-stroke-reference using the valve scaling block, which simply performs a linear interpolation between the valves of the CG and stroke to generate signal FSRGn. The servo-output-block saturates the closed valve by calling for a position of -25% when L3Gn does not enable the valve.

05.10.031 DLN2+ MODE CONTROL

This design standard defines each of the combustion modes (a unique combination of fuel nozzles being on). In addition, this standard contains the code that drives all of the gas manifold prefills. The DLN2+ has 5 unique combustion modes as shown in the table below. COMBUSTION MODE DIFFUSION SUB PILOTED PREMIX PILOTED PREMIX PREMIX PM1 LOAD REJECTION

FUEL SYSTEMS ON G1 G1,G2 G1,G2,G3 G2,G3 G2

DIFFUSION MODE (L83FXP) In this mode all the gas fuel is directed to the five diffusion tips in each of the combustors. At this time the premix passages PM1 and PM4 are purged with CPD air. Diffusion is the normal mode of operation from ignition to L14HS and unloading from L14HS to flameout. SUB PILOTED PREMIX (L83FXL) In this mode the fuel is split between the two gas control valves. The G2 PM1 split ramps up in the higher end of this mode to optimize combustion dynamics. Attention must be made not to exceed the defined split-level at the high end of this mode due to hardware concerns. Sub piloted premix is the combustion mode between L14HS and FXKTH loading and FXKTH-FXKTHDB to L14HS. Sub piloted premix mode is the steady state FSNL mode PILOTED PREMIX (L83FXH) In this mode the fuel is split between the three gas control valves. To give an even premix split between G2 and G3, the split would be 20/80. It is normal to run the premix burners slightly off even-split to optimize combustion dynamics at the expense of emissions. Piloted premix is the combustion mode between combustion reference temperature FXKTH and FXKTM-loading, and FXKTM-FXKTMDB to FXKTH-FXKTHDB unloading. PREMIX (L83FXM) In premix all the fuel is directed to G2 and G3, which feed PM1 and PM4 respectively. To give an even premix split between G2 and G3, the split would be 20/80. It is normal to run the premix burners slightly off even split to optimize combustion dynamics at the expense of emissions.

up to 1900 CRT. For Piloted Premix mode above 1900 CRT and all of Premix mode, fuel temperature must be maintained within the wobbie range specified for the unit. More information on wobbie can be found in the controls design standard BK2R_MWI. Note if SPPM is disabled: Anytime the machine is operated in diffusion above 1500 CRT with a fuel temperature above 125o F for a period of 45 seconds, the following alarm will be generated: "Fuel temp high reduce temp or load into PPM to prevent unload" Note: using the normal loading rate it takes 33 seconds to load from 1500 to 1600 CRT. If the machine is operated in diffusion mode above 1500 CRT and the fuel temperature is above 125o F for 3 minutes, a governor lower will unload to 1450 CRT. Once the machine is unloaded, the timer will reset. In addition to the unload, any auto loading mechanisms such as preselected load will be cleared to prevent Auto loading back above 1500 after the lower command drops out. In other words, operator action will be required in order to load the machine. The following alarm signal will also be generated: "Fuel temperature high for diffusion governor lower" Anytime the gas fuel temperature exceeds 380o F, it will be alarmed. If the fuel temperature exceeds 395o F, it will be alarmed and an automatic shutdown commanded will be issued.

05.10.041 DLN2+ SPLIT SCHEDULE & CLAMPS

Each of the fuel schedules contains an array of combustion reference temperatures and flow splits. When the actual combustion reference temperature is between two of the combustion reference temperatures, a linear interpretation is performed to determine the appropriated flow split. After the flow split is generated from the linear interpolator, it is passed through a median select block that places upper and lower boundaries on the level that the flow split may be set to. This software contains a total of four split schedules, which are as follows: 1. Sub Piloted Premix All rights reserved.

The default constant for the bias is zero but may be adjusted up to 4% if the transfer is unstable. For the transfer into premix, the bias is introduced with the start of the D5 purge sweep and ends after the D5 purge control valve reaches its maximum transient position. For the transfer into piloted premix, the bias is initiated with L3FXHS and terminated with L3FXHC (piloted premix transfer start and complete). The bias is intended to be field tunable in the event that premix transfers are not robust, but a bias of 4% or more should not be implemented without consulting Combustion Engineering in Schenectady.

GAS FUEL PURGE TIMING The turning on of premix purges is staggered to minimize load transients. The PM4 purge is time-delayed 15 seconds after the PM4 (G3) gas valve is confirmed closed. PM1 purge comes on immediately when the PM1 (G2) gas valve is confirmed closed. D5 purge comes on five seconds after the G1 gas valve is confirmed closed. GAS FUEL PURGE FAULT DETECTION AND PROTECTION The gas fuel purge system uses a truth table to detect the condition of the purge system, which has five digital feedbacks, indicating the status of the system. Four of the feedbacks are limit switches, giving positive indication of both open and closed position of the gas side and airside purge valves. The fifth input is from triple redundant pressure switches, monitoring the inter-purge valve cavity pressure. With five inputs, there are 2^5 (32) possible system configurations. Only one configuration is correct - indicating that all five inputs are confirming that the system is in the commanded state. There are then thirty-one other configurations in which the system is in some kind of fault condition. Within these thirty-one cases, there are various levels of fault severity. A level of severity is defined as any fault state in which the actions taken are the same. In order to preserve the integrity of the following purge fault matrix, the D5 purge control valve has four limit switches that combine to form the "valve open" and "valve closed" signals; the first limit switch is to confirm that the valve is closed. The second and third switches are placed to protect against combustor dynamics (high and low side). The fourth switch is set just below the position of the sweep purge level. It is also used to confirm that the valve is at this minimum position for liquid operation. During transients and different modes of operation, one of these limit switches will make up the "valve open" signal. There is also a 4-20 mA position feedback signal from the valve I/P controller. This is used for position reference and to ensure that the valve does not improperly get stuck in any one position. NOTE: BURST mode must be enabled on the valve I/P controller using the HART controller in order to get a correct feedback signal OPEN FAULT MATRIX (Note: there is a separate closed fault matrix.) Considering the open fault matrix below, it may be seen that there are three fault categories or levels of severity: 0,1, and 2: Fault level 0 (fault index 22) is normal, as both open switches are indicating open, both closed switches are indicating not closed, and the inter-cavity pressure is high. This is the correct configuration when the purge system is commanded on. Fault level 1 occurs when all but one of the limit switches is indicating the correct position. Fault level 2 is any case that is not case 0 or 1.

06.01.00 MODULATED INLET GUIDE VANE CONTROL

The variable inlet guide vanes (IGV) are modulated to maintain high exhaust temperature during part load for waste heat recovery. They are also modulated at startup and shutdown as function of corrected speed. During start-up, the inlet guide vanes will open to a minimum angle and subsequently modulate to the full open position as gas turbine loads and the exhaust temperature reach the IGV control reference. In this mode, exhaust temperature is maximized for part-load operation which is desirable for heat recovery (combined-cycle mode). When IGV temperature control is turned "off", IGV control of exhaust temperature is rescheduled to modulate at a constant exhaust temperature, approximately 300oF below the base isothermal exhaust temperature reference. Holding the IGVs closed at less than quarter load helps to avoid combustor pulsations. They go full open as temperature exceeds the reference (simple-cycle mode).

06.02.00 PART SPEED INLET GUIDE VANE CONTROL

During the startup, acceleration of the gas turbine compressor to operating speed is necessary to open the inlet guide vanes as a function of temperature corrected speed (TNHCOR), to prevent stall at low speeds typically in the front stages of the compressor. The Speedtronic controls utilize an algorithm to open the inlet guide vanes from a minimum startup position to a minimum operating condition. This algorithm increases inlet guide vane angle along a linear path as a function of corrected speed. The equation for corrected speed is listed below. TNH is the turbine compressor rotor (high pressure shaft) speed, CTIM is the compressor inlet temperature (oF), and CQKTC_RT is the temperature correction basis. CQKTC_RT can be a value of either 540oR (80oF) for NEMA conditions or 519oR (59oF) for ISO conditions. The temperature correction factor (CNCF) is defined also defined below. The equation to calculate part speed IGV angle is as follows: Part speed IGV angle = CSKGVPS2 * (CSKGVPS1 - TNHCOR) TNHCOR = TNH*SQRT(CQKTC_RT/(CTIM+460)) CNCF = SQRT((CQKTC_RT)/(CTIM+460))

06.11.06 COMPRESSOR PRESSURE RATIO MEASUREMENT

The gas turbine compressor pressure ratio (Xc) is calculated by taking the ratio of the compressor discharge absolute pressure and the compressor inlet bellmouth absolute pressure. The compressor discharge absolute pressure is formulated by adding absolute ambient pressure to the measured compressor discharge gauge pressure. The compressor inlet bellmouth absolute pressure is found by subtracting the inlet filter and duct pressure drop from the absolute ambient pressure. The Speedtronic control panel implements the compressor pressure ratio calculation using signals derived from pressure transducers mounted on the gas turbine. The compressor pressure ratio signal (CPR) is calculated by the equation listed below. CPR = [CPD + (AFPAP * CPKRAP)]/[CPKRAP * (AFPAP - (AFPCS/CPKRPC))] Since compressor pressure ratio is a critical input for compressor protection and exhaust temperature control routines, the measurements of compressor discharge pressure and ambient pressure are performed with triple redundant transducers for high reliability. The inlet pressure drop measurement is not measured with triple redundant sensors because a failure of this measurement will typically result in less than a 2% error in the pressure ratio calculation. It is sufficient to clamp the inlet pressure drop signal between expected minimum and maximum limits. The limits on ambient pressure should be set to the maximum expected barometric pressures for the site. In particular, the lower barometric pressure limit (CPKRAMN) may need to be adjusted for sites that are at high elevations. The scaling for 96AP transducers should be consistent with the CPKRAMN and CPKRAMX limit settings. The 96CS-1 transducer is typically scaled to a maximum value of 11.1 inH2O because the maximum inlet filter and ducting system pressure drop should be well within this range when properly designed and implemented.

as a function of speed. Holding the IGVs open during this transient will reduce the speed overshoot due to two factors. The increased airflow at higher IGV angles will produce higher compressor loads. The higher IGV angles will result in higher compressor discharge pressures which will reduce the pressure drop across the gas fuel nozzles and therefore reduce the fuel flow inrush after the breaker opens.

The compressor bleed valves are open at part speed and closed at operating speed to avoid compressor stall conditions. They close above 14HS with complete sequence (L3) or with closed breakers (L52GX). Actuation is by compressor discharge pressure through 20CB. Possible malfunction of 20CB, necessitates tripping the turbine startup if the compressor bleed valve trouble alarm indicates the bleed valves are closed below 14HS operating speed.

06.14.01 DLN INLET BLEED HEAT CONTROL

Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustion systems operate in a mode called Premix Mode, where fuel and air are mixed prior to burning. On GE DLN I gas turbine systems, Premix Mode is designed to occur at a fairly constant firing temperature with modulated compressor airflow during unit operation on exhaust temperature control. With normal minimum inlet guide vane (IGV) angles and exhaust temperature control, Premix Mode operation occurs after approximately 70% load. By lowering the allowable minimum IGV angle, exhaust temperature control operation and Premix Mode can be extended to lower loads, down to approximately 40-50% load. Lowering the minimum IGV angle to extend Premix Mode to lower loads has consequences with respect to the gas turbine compressor design margins. Also, the reduced IGV angles cause a higher pressure drop and a resultant temperature depression of the air flow. This effect could lead to ice formation on the first stage stator blades under certain ambient conditions. To address compressor design concerns when Premix Mode is extended by lowering IGV minimum angles, up to 5% compressor discharge air is extracted from the compressor and recirculated to a mixing manifold located in the inlet air stream. Bleeding the compressor and recirculating the compressor discharge air to the inlet airstream increases the compressor design margins and prevents conditions necessary for the formation of ice on the first stage stator blades. The amount of inlet bleed heat in terms of percent compressor airflow (CSRBH) is scheduled as a function of IGV angle. DLN inlet bleed heat flow is regulated by modulating the VA20-1 control valve with a proportional plus integral control which utilizes a calculated percent inlet bleed heat compressor extraction signal (CQBHP) as the feedback parameter. The percent compressor extraction flow (CQBHP) is derived by dividing a calculated inlet bleed heat mass flow signal (CQBH) by an estimated gas turbine total airflow signal (WEHX). The DLN Premix Mode Turndown inlet bleed heat command (CSRDLN) is maximum selected with other inlet bleed heat references (if applicable) to formulate the VA20-1 control valve command reference (CSRIH).

06.14.02 COMPRESSOR OPERATING LIMIT PROTECTION

GE gas turbine compressors are designed to operate below a compressor pressure ratio limit (CPRLIM) that is a function of IGV and temperature corrected rotor speed (TNHCOR). Combinations of factors such as extreme cold ambient temperatures, low IGV angles, high firing temperature, low BTU gas fuel composition, and high combustor diluent injection can cause the compressor pressure ratio to approach design limits. Software has been developed to control the amount of compressor bleed to limit the pressure ratio. Inlet bleed heat for compressor operating limit protection features a compressor operating limit map built into the Speedtronic software as a protective control reference. The compressor pressure ratio (CPR) is calculated from inlet and discharge pressure transducers measurements and used as a feedback signal for closed loop control. The amount of inlet bleed heat is regulated by proportional plus integral control action using the protective reference and the pressure ratio measurement feedback. A maximum of 5% compressor discharge flow is extracted to limit the pressure ratio. A secondary method of compressor operating limit protection features IGV temperature control suppression. Again, using closed loop proportional plus integral control action, the IGV temperature control curve is suppressed, causing the IGVs to open. This opening of the IGVs will increase the compressor operating limit. All rights reserved.

failures. This occurs when all knowledge of compressor inlet temperature (CTIM) has been lost; all physical CTIM measurements are unavailable and the corresponding sensor model is invalid or not present. It also occurs when ambient pressure (AFPAP) cannot be accurately measured. The output signal initiating this protective action is L3BHSENS_F. The IBH DLN turndown schedule is disabled when there is no way to determine the IBH flow (CQBH), which is used as feedback for the control loop. This occurs when the downstream IBH pressure transmitter (CPBH2) is failed and the CQBH model is not valid. The output signal initiating this protective action is L3BHTSENS_F.

06.14.05 INLET BLEED HEAT CONTROL VALVE

The standard VA20-1 valve selected to control the inlet bleed heat flow is a Fisher globe style valve with a machined cage trim (per GE specification/ordering drawing 356A4778). The 356A4328 functional specification, documents the design requirements for the VA20-1 control valve. The VA20-1 valves specified have an approximately linear flow characteristic versus stroke. This valve experiences a high pressure drop and is a potential source of excessive ambient noise, pipe vibration, and inlet bleed heat flow dynamic pressure fluctuations. The valve currently used for VA20-1 on new unit production (per 356A4778) features a multi-stage cage designed to minimize dynamic pressure disturbances and to limit noise generation. Expected valve noise should be below 85.0 dBA with the application of acoustic insulation on the valve (per GE specification 355A7453). A multi-stage control valve also reduces the risk of shock waves residing in the inlet bleed heat downstream piping or inlet distribution manifold. A 4-20 mA pneumatic actuator (65EP-3) is utilized to control the VA20-1 valve position. A VA20-1 position feedback signal, generated from a 4-20 mA transducer, is used by the control valve position fault detection software. The actuator also may include a mechanical position limit stop used to set 100% position command to the proper stroke in terms of inches of travel. The VA20-1 mechanical travel stop setting is defined to the valve supplier in the specification to be set at the factory. The VA20-1 control valve also features a trip solenoid valve (20TH-1) used to exhaust air from the actuator and move the VA20-1 control valve to its fail safe position. The 20TH-1 trip solenoid valve is controlled by software that is designed to detect positioning faults and irregular VA20-1 operation. This trip solenoid is typically a 125 VDC type, requiring power to operate the VA20-1 control valve. For MS6001FA, MS7001FA, and MS9001FA applications the VA20-1 valve is designed to be All rights reserved.

a normally open control valve. On loss of pneumatic air supply, loss of the 4-20 mA command signal, or on loss of the 20TH-1 dc voltage signal the VA20-1 control valve on these applications is defaulted to the open position by a fail-safe spring contained in the actuator design. This fail safe open mode was chosen for FA gas turbine applications because the inlet bleed heat system is used for compressor operating limit protection and bleeding the compressor. Actuation air is required to close the VA20-1 valve for FA units during gas turbine startup sequencing.

06.14.07 INLET BLEED HEAT MASS FLOW CALCULATION

Mass flow through the inlet bleed heat system is estimated using the ANSI/ISA standard control valve flow equation programmed in the Speedtronic software and applied to the VA20-1 Inlet Bleed Heat Control Valve. The 96BH-1/2 pressure transducers measure the VA20-1 control valve inlet pressure and pressure drop. The compressor discharge temperature signal (CTD) is used as the inlet bleed heat air flow temperature. These parameters are used along with the valve Cv vs. stroke characteristic from the manufacturer, to calculate mass flow.

06.14.08 INLET BLEED HEAT CONTROL VALVE COMMAND OUTPUT

The inlet bleed heat software selects as the VA20-1 control valve position command output (CSRIHOUT): the maximum of the Anti-Icing, the DLN Premix Turndown, and the Compressor Operating Limit independent inlet bleed heat command references. Also, the VA20-1 command output software allows manual control of the valve in a calibration mode and gives the valve a hard shut down below gas turbine operating speed.

07.00.00 SECTION 7 - AUXILIARIES CONTROL

07.12.00 HRSG HIGH STEAM TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

High Steam Temperature Runback Load Control High temperature initiates a runback until the Gas Turbine Exhaust Temperature is less than a target value (TTKGT_RB). This will produce a runback from back rate from base load to no load of approximately 40 sec. The runback is provided by the GT Mark VIe controller upon receiving a maintained high temperature signal as sensed at the HRSG controller. The load control for the affected unit should be disabled during runback. IGV Control The minimum IGV Angle is set to 54 degrees to provide a lower exhaust gas temperature at a higher load than the normal 42 degrees or 48 degrees IGV Angles. Unload at 54 degrees is an accepted DLN2 combustion path. This is accomplished by turning off Inlet Bleed Heat Premix Mode Turndown, only when the actual IGV angle is above 54 degrees at the time of runback. The unit will unload with the IGV temperature control "ON", which means is will unload along the Combined Cycle path. This may cause the exhaust temperature to increase as unloading begins, hold steady along the isotherm, and then decrease once the IGVs reach their minimum. High-High Steam Temperature Trip Units without Diverter Dampers The High-High Temperature Trip provides protection on the event that the GT load runback is not successful in lowering the steam temperature. When a high-high temperature trip signal is generated by the HRSG controller, the Steam Turbine control valves are shut and the GT is reset to the FSNL position by setting the GT speed/load setpoint to 100.3%. This action provides the lowest GT exhaust gas

temperature while keeping the Gas Turbine on-line. If this corrective action is successful, as sensed by the GT fuel valve stroke below 30% and the exhaust temperature below the alarm level (TTKGT_RB), the GT is taken off-line by opening the generator breaker. This precludes any fluctuations in load due to grid frequency variations. If either of those conditions is not met after ten seconds, then the GT shall be tripped. Unit with Diverter Dampers The High-High Temperature Trip provides a trip of the diverter damper which removes the GT exhaust gas from the HRSG while maintaining the GT in simple cycle operation. This allows the GT to provide power output while the HRSG Unit is protected. At this point, the Temperature Control Curve in the GT Mark VIe must be switched to the Simple Cycle values. If confirmation, in the DCS, that the diverter damper is closed is not received after a time delay, the GT shall be tripped to ensure the exhaust heat is removed. If the DCS is monitoring the damper position, the customer signal (L4CT) can be used to provide the trip. signal TTKGT_RB

08.00.00 SECTION 8 - UNIT PROTECTION

08.00.01 MASTER PROTECTIVE SEQUENCE

A test of the trip oil dump valves, confirming that the trip oil pressure drops as fast as expected, is performed automatically every shutdown or trip. A "Hydraulic protective trouble" alarm on shut down or trip indicates a defective trip oil system which should be resolved before restarting the turbine. Hydraulic trip oil pressure should decay below 63HG or 63HL setting within K4Y time (normally 1 sec). It is important not to alter this setting as the emergency shutdown system design of the unit may be compromised.

08.01.02 COMBUSTOR FLAME DETECTION

The flame detectors used on GE gas turbines output a 4-20 mA signal that is directly proportional to the detected flame intensity. The 4-20 mA signal is processed directly by the Mark VIe control system, which corresponds to percent intensity. A strong flame indication signal from the flame detectors should have an intensity of 50-75% or higher, and a frequency of 500 Hz or higher.

08.02.01 VIBRATION PROTECTION

The vibration protection scheme employed in Mark VIe is configured by constant settings depending upon the vibration sensor I/O assignments. There are twelve possible vibration sensor input channels (BB1 thru BB12). The standard MS9001FA vibration sensor assignments are: MS9001FA Vibration Transducer Assignments: ----------------------------------------BB1 - 39V-1A BB2 - 39V-1B BB3 - none All rights reserved.

08.03.011 FIRE PROTECTION - CHECKOUT PROCEDURES

Prior to installation of nozzles, the entire piping system should be pressurized with compressed air and maintained with no leakage allowed for at least 10 minutes (This will also serve to clear the piping of any debris as previously described). Due to varying site conditions, differing locations of the off-base supply of CO2 to the turbine and potential leaks in the lagging and piping, a CO2 concentration test is required to ensure the integrity of the fire protection system design. A simple "Puff Test" is not satisfactory to ensure the system functions properly. In order to perform the concentration test, a qualified technician must be present to make sure the test is run correctly. This test involves running a full C02 concentration test consisting of both the initial and extended discharges for each zone of protection. The initial discharge runs for 1 minute (or less) following the release of CO2, while the extended discharge runs simultaneously, but continues for at least 30 minutes or more (depending upon the discharge times required). The vendor should be contacted in order to locate and schedule a technician to come to the particular site and oversee the concentration test. The initial discharge is designed for a minimum concentration of 34% within 60 seconds. The extended discharge is designed to maintain a minimum concentration of 30% for 30 minutes or more (depending on the required discharge times). Upon successful completion of the CO2 concentration test, GE Gas Turbine Engineering should be consulted and the results of the concentration test should be sent to the appropriate design engineer for documentation purposes.

Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the combustible gas. There are two detector settings, a high and high-high % LEL setting for each compartment, which correspond to a gas pocket volume with a 50% LEL concentration exceeds 0.1% of the net enclosure volume and a gas pocket volume with a 100% LEL concentration exceeds 0.1% of the net enclosure volume. The settings take into account the amount of air through the compartment, airflow distribution through the compartment, detector location, and probability of leak. These settings are specific to that compartment and factory settings should not be adjusted in the field. Hazardous gas detectors are wired back to a gas monitor, separate from the control panel. The Gas Monitor then sends signals back to the control panel, either digital contact inputs or 4-20 mA signals based on the action required from the detector. Single detectors, usually located within the compartment, detect high and high-high LEL settings for alarm purposes only. The single detectors are wired back to the gas monitor and then ganged together by rack. If any one of the detectors signals high or high-high (L45HnL_ALM, L45HnH_ALM), the gas monitor should be consulted for which detector has signaled high LEL levels and the problem should be investigated. Some compartments have three detectors in the extract ducts of the ventilation system to measure high and high-high LEL settings. The Gas Monitor sends these analog LEL settings back to the control panel where voting is done. If any one of the three detectors measures high gas concentration, an alarm will be generated. If any two out of three detectors measures high-high gas concentration, a gas turbine trip will be initiated and the problem should be investigated. If any detector should fail in the compartments or extract ducts, the gas monitor performs internal diagnostics and will send an alarm, one for each rack, back to the control panel. If any alarm is generated, the problem should be investigated. The extract duct detectors, which are fed back to the control panel via 4-20 mA signals, also have a diagnostic check at the control panel to ensure that the 4-20 mA signals is within range. If any of these alarms are generated, the problem should be investigated.

09.01.00 AUTO SYNCHRONIZATION

When auto synch is selected, SC43SYNC goes to a 2 and L83AUTSYN picks up. During breaker synch, big block L60SYNC1 controls fuel flow. The speed load setpoint (TNR) is raised or lowered by L60TNMR/L. Auto voltage matching is accomplished by L60SYNR/L. The synchronizing 25 relay is energized when the protective module(

) predicts the breaker will close within the phase-slip target area and voltage window. Breaker closing time is determined automatically in

.

09.01.10 GENERATOR SYNCH/MATCHING PERMISSIVES

Line and generator voltages should normally be within +- 1% as permissive to synchronize (GSKDVE_HI).

09.02.00 REVERSE POWER SEQUENCING

The generator breaker is tripped on reverse power sensing in the standard shutdown sequence. Reverse power, rather than drop out of 4's alone, is necessary because of the risk of coincidental fuel system malfunction that could cause overspeed. Breaker opening is allowed only with 4 trip or shutdown 94X. The breaker is not allowed to open with other possible control malfunctions which could lead to overspeed. Time delay on the reverse power relay is provided to allow for load transients while synchronizing. Turbine trips cause motoring of the generator for the time delay on reverse power sensing. On new units, a megawatt setting is compared with the DWATT signal in place of the reverse power relay. This allows smooth shutdown with minimum draw on system megawatts.

09.08.11 VAR CONTROL REFERENCE SETPOINT

The MANSET3 is a generic block used here to produce the VAR control VAR reference (DRVAR). The MAX and MIN limits (DKVCMN and DKVCMX) have been set to allow operation over some of the generator safe operating conditions. Customers may wish to change these limits but must ensure that the generator is not operated outside its saturation curve. The preset option of the block is not used here.

09.08.13 VAR CONTROL SEQUENCE

The VAR control outputs (L83VCRV and L83VCLV) follow the logics (L60DVCLG and L60DVCLD) when VAR is outside the deadband (DKVCDB). When VAR is outside the deadband it raises/lowers excitation for short time periods as determined by the pulse timers (L2DVC2 and L2DVC1). This occurs until VAR is back within the deadband. If the VAR error is too high and outside the allowed error (LK60VCF), then the pulse timers are removed from the sequencing and excitation is given a continuous signal until VAR is back within the limits.

09.09.01 VAR SHEDDING SEQUENCE

VAR Shedding adjusts the generator VARS to approximately zero during a shutdown. The unit VARS (DVAR) is compared to constants (LK60VSL and LK60VSR) to generate a voltage lower or raise signal (L60VSL or L60VSR). All rights reserved.

VAR shedding operates during all shutdowns (L94X), when the breaker is still closed and when there is no VAR shedding lockout signal (L68VS). VAR shedding voltage raise/lower signals are intermittent, controlled by logics L2VS1 and L2VS2. When VAR shedding is in operation its raise/lower signals are "on" for time K2VS2 and "off" for time K2VS1. Note that sequencing exists to drive the raise lower signal to the excitation control. The VAR shedding, power factor control, VAR control, manual voltage control, and synchronizing voltage matching will all initiate the raise and lower commands to the excitation system through this rung (L90RL, L90RR).

09.10.20 POWER FACTOR CALCULATION

DPFV1 calculates the power factor (DPF) from the unit megawatts (DWATT) and the unit megavars (DVAR). DPF is used for display only. The DPF value is discontinuous at 0 mvar, so for the power factor control block (DPF_CONTROL_V1) the variable DPFM is supplied, which is the power factor value translated to the continuous range 0 to 2. DPFM is produced by adding 2 to the power factor whenever it has a negative value. At less than DKPFMW watts the power factor is set to 1.

09.10.30 POWER FACTOR CONTROL SEQUENCE

The power factor control outputs (L83PFRV and L83PFLV) follow the increase lag and increase lead logics (L60DPFLG and L60DPFLD) when the PF is outside the deadband (DKPFDB). When PF is outside the deadband it raises/lowers excitation for short time periods as determined by the pulse timers (L2DPF2 and L2DPF1). This occurs until PF is back within the deadband. If the PF error is too high and outside the allowed error (LK60DPFF), then the pulse timers are removed from the sequencing and excitation is given a continuous signal until PF is back within the limits.

11.01.001 HRSG HIGH STEAM TEMPERATURE PROTECTION - STAG CONFIGURATION

The high steam temperature protection is designed to initiate automatic protective action in the case of high steam temperature. The high temperature may be caused by failure of HP Steam or Reheat Attemperators, including the loss of spray water supply. The objective is to reduce the HP steam temperature at the outlet of the HRSG HP Superheater or Reheater to a level that is acceptable to the steam piping, steam turbine and other components. The protection includes a runback of the Gas Turbine on a high temperature level and tripping of the generator breaker at a higher temperature level. On units where a bypass damper is used, the breaker trip may be precluded by shutting the damper to bypass the HRSG.

11.02.001 STEAM TURBINE TEMPERATURE MATCHING - STAG CONFIGURATION

Temperature matching can be selected once L4 is picked up using soft switch (L43TMON_CPB). When a machine starts up, the default for temperature matching is off. This default may be changed to on by removing L4 in the rung that writes to L43TMON and replacing an open contact L1S in parallel with open contact L43TMON. If temperature matching is selected, it will become active once the turbine is loaded into the TNR region in which temperature matching is allowable (TNKTML < TNR < TNKTMH). NOTE:

Temperature matching must be performed with IGV temperature control on.

Temperature matching can be stopped at any time using soft switch L43TMOFF_CPB. Temperature matching will be automatically stopped in the event of any of the following: 1. The called for temperature matching setpoint (TTRXTM1) becomes greater than the part load IGV temperature control reference (TTRXGV). 2. A normal shut down takes place. 3. A breaker open is initiated. There are two ways in which the exhaust temperature is controlled during temperature

matching. FIXED GAS TURBINE OUTPUT VARIABLE IGV During this process, TNR is kept constant, which in turn will give approximate constant fuel flow to the unit (will vary with grid and heating value of fuel). TNR is used rather than DWATT, as in single shaft applications. DWATT is the combined output of the gas turbine and the steam turbine. In addition, TNR is not as sensitive to disturbances in the system such as transients when transferring between different combustion modes. If temperature matching is selected, once TNR is greater than TNKTML, temperature matching will begin. During temperature matching, automatic load control, such as selecting BASE or PRESELECTED LOAD, are disabled. If during IGV temperature matching TNR starts to drift from the TNKTML %, the controller will alarm, indicating the problem and attempting to correct it by a raising or lowering TNR. If TNR continues to drift and is different than TNKTML % by TNKIGVDBOFF %, temperature matching will be disabled. FIXED IGVs VARIABLE GAS TURBINE OUTPUT Once the IGVs are closed down to the minimum, it is no longer possible to increase exhaust temperature without increasing load. At this point, TNR is increased while the IGVs are kept on the minimum. Temperature matching may also be started during unloading; in which case matching is started by reducing TNR until it is less than TNKTML, at which point the IGVs start to modulate to control exhaust temperature.

Software Interface with Steam Turbine The steam turbine controller software must generate the temperature matching reference and provide it as an input to the gas turbine controller. Remote signals are accepted for exhaust temperature matching setpoint command (TTRXTM_CMD) and the rate of change of temperature matching setpoint command (TTRTMR_CMD). These signals may come from hardwired inputs or a MODBUS interface, for example.

Low level analog and digital signals b. Speed feedback/reference signals Control: a. AC or DC control circuit. Power: a.

Field leads, armature leads

2. Signal wiring and power wiring may cross at a right angle with a minimum one inch separation. Avoid parallel runs between signal level wires and power or control wires. If signal wires must be run in parallel to control or power wires, a minimum of a four-inch separation must be maintained between the wires. 3. For low level signal wire runs external to the controller, shielded and twisted wire is required. All shield drains should be terminated at the controller (one end only). The remote end of the shield drain wire should be cut off and taped to prevent accidental grounding. 4. Control system relays, solenoids, or brake coils can produce erratic drive behavior due to electrical noise transients. To eliminate this possibility, an RC suppressor should be added in parallel with the coils of these devices. A 220 ohm, 2 watt resistor in series with 0.5 mfd., 600 volt capacitor can be used. Avoid electromagnetic interference or "noise" introduced by: a.

Radio frequency signals, typically from portable transmitters used in the vicinity of the equipment or its wiring. b. Stray high voltage or high frequency signals as might be provided by arc welders. 5. Attention should be given to the national electrical code and any applicable

Test load preparation Prepare test load for the LCI/IMD regulator tune-up, normally the LCI/IMD control requires 40%+ load at about 60% speed (36Hz.) to step the flux and speed regulator while the process is not on line. E.G. if this is an ID fan application, need to control the inlet/outlet damper to control the air flow to get the suitable loading for regulator tune-up at coupled run, vary load from 20% to full load to check load inversion limit setting for LCI. Final check before drive startup Inspect all equipment including the LCI/IMD lineup for loose hardware/debris, removing any such material prior to applying power.

Mark VIe Control

Introduction The Mark* VIe control system is a flexible platform for multiple applications. It features high-speed, networked I/O for simplex, dual, and triple redundant systems. Industry-standard Ethernet communications are used for I/O, controllers, and supervisory interface to operator and maintenance stations, and third-party systems. A common ControlST* software suite is used with the Mark VIe controls and related systems for programming, configuration, trending, and analyzing diagnostics. It provides a single source of quality, time-coherent data at the controller and plant level for effectively managing control system equipment. The Mark VIeS Safety control system is available for safety-critical applications conforming to IEC-61508. It also uses the ControlST software suite to simplify maintenance, but retains a unique set of certified hardware and software blocks.

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

System Components Online controllers continuously read input data directly from the IONet.

A single-board controller is the heart of the system. It includes the main processor and redundant Ethernet drivers for communicating with networked I/O, and additional Ethernet drivers for the control network. A real-time, multitasking operating system is used for the main processor and I/O modules. Control software is provided in a configurable control block language, and is stored in non-volatile memory. It conforms to IEEE® 854 32-bit floating-point format. Sequential Function Charts (SFC) are also available to program the controller for a complex sequential control application.

100 MB Ethernet is used for communication to local and distributed I/O modules.

The I/O network (IONet) is a dedicated, full-duplex, point-to-point protocol. It provides a deterministic, high-speed 100 MB communications network suitable for local or distributed I/O devices. It provides communication between the main controllers(s) and networked I/O modules. The IONet is available in single, dual, and triple redundant configurations. Both copper and fiber interfaces are available. I/O modules consist of an I/O pack and barrier or box-type terminal blocks mounted on a terminal board. The I/O pack contains two Ethernet ports, a power supply, a local processor, and a data acquisition board. I/O compatibility grows as I/O packs are added to the control system, enabling use in simplex, dual, or triple redundant configuration. Some process sub-systems require even more performance; therefore, the local processors in each I/O pack run algorithms at higher rates as required for the application.

Redundancy Every application has different requirements for redundancy depending on the criticality of the process. The Mark VIe control system provides a wide range of redundancy options that can be supplied in simplex, dual, or triple redundant combinations. Components can be locally or remotely mounted.

Dual redundant systems transmit inputs from single or redundant I/O packs on dual IONets to dual Mark VIe controllers. Controllers transmit to I/O packs that are associated with that Mark VIe controller. Three output I/O packs can be provided to vote output signals for mission-critical field devices. Dual redundant systems can be configured for single, dual, and triple sensors.

6 GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

Mark VIe Control

Triple redundant systems are available to protect against soft or partial failures of devices, which are outvoted by those that are correct. A failed component is outvoted with a 2-out-of-3 selection of the signal. Control software in all three Mark VIe controllers runs on the voted value of the signal while diagnostics identify the failed device. These sophisticated diagnostics reduce the mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) while the online repair capability increases the mean-time-between-forced-outages (MTBFO). Field sensors for these systems can be single, dual, or triple.

I/O Interface Every I/O pack communicates directly on the I/O network, which enables each I/O pack to be replaced individually without affecting any other I/O in the system. In addition, the I/O pack can be replaced and without disconnecting any field wiring.

One or multiple I/O packs are mounted on each module to digitize the sensor signal, run algorithms, and communicate with a separate controller that contains the main processor. I/O packs have a local processor board that runs a real time operating system and a data interface board that is unique to the type of input or output device. Local processors run algorithms at faster speeds than the overall control system. An example is the regulation of servo valves performed in the servo module. The I/O processor has a temperature sensor that is accurate within ±2°C (±3.6 °F). Detection of an excessive temperature generates a diagnostic alarm, and the logic is available in the database (signal space) to facilitate additional control action or unique process alarm messages. In addition, the temperature is continuously available in the database. Features include the following:

Internal temperature sensor



LEDs: power status and attention



LEDs: Ethernet link-connected and communication-active



LEDs: application-specific



Power: 28 V dc



Internal solid-state circuit breaker and soft start

A power supply provides a regulated 28 V dc power feed to each I/O pack. The negative side of the 28 V dc is grounded through the I/O pack metal enclosure and its mounting base. The positive side has solid-state circuit protection built-into the I/O pack with a nominal 2 A trip point. Online repair is possible by removing the 28 V dc connector, replacing the I/O pack, and reinserting the power connector. I/O packs are then automatically reconfigured if the Auto-Reconfiguration feature is enabled. Mark VIe control electronics are packaged in a variety of different configurations and are designed for different environmental conditions. Proper thermal considerations for active electronics with heat sensitive components must be considered for electronics packaging.

Terminal Blocks Signal flow begins with a sensor connected to a terminal block on an I/O module. There are two types of modules available. T-type modules contain two removable 24-point, barrier-type terminal blocks. Each point can accept two 3.0 mm2 (#12AWG) wires with 300 V insulation per point and spade or ring type lugs. In addition, captive clamps are provided for terminating bare wires. Screw spacing is 9.53 mm (0.375 in) minimum, center-to-center. A shield strip is provided next to each block, which is actually the left-hand side of the metal base where the module is mounted. Wide and narrow modules are arranged in vertical columns of high and low-level wiring that can be accessed from top and/or bottom cable entrances. An example of a wide module is a module containing magnetic relays with fused circuits for solenoid drivers. T-type boards are normally surface mounted, but can also be DIN-rail mounted.

I/O Modules with Barrier and Box Type Terminal Blocks

S-type modules have one I/O pack for simplex and dual redundant systems. They are half the size of T-type boards and are DIN-rail or surface mounted. Two versions of the modules are available, fixed terminal blocks and removable terminal blocks. S-type modules have box type terminal blocks that accept one 3.0 mm2 (#12AWG) wire or two 2.0 mm2 (#14AWG) wires with 300 V insulation per point. Screw spacing is 5.08 mm (0.2 in) minimum, center-to-center. Removable box terminals may be replaced with spring-cage-clamp, insulation displacement, or crimp and stab terminals. A shield strip is provided on each block and is tied to functional ground.

I/O Types I/O types are categorized according to general purpose I/O and turbine specific I/O. General purpose I/O is used for both turbine applications and process control applications. Turbine specific I/O modules provide direct interface to unique turbine field devices, which reduces or eliminates a substantial amount of interposing instrumentation. As a result, many potential single-point failures are eliminated for improved running reliability and reduced long-term maintenance. Direct interface also enables the diagnostics to directly monitor field devices. This provides more precise messages to minimize maintenance time. General Purpose I/O Pack/Quantity per Board

IONet Switches manage the communication traffic to eliminate collisions and increase network determinism. There are no Ethernet collisions on the IONet.

Communication between the controller and the I/O modules is performed with the IONet. This is a 100 MB Ethernet network available in non-redundant, dual redundant, and triple redundant configurations. Ethernet Global Data (EGD) and other protocols are used for communication. EGD is based on the UDP/IP standard (RFC 768). EGD packets are broadcast at up to the system frame rate from the controller to the I/O modules, which respond with input data. IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol is used on the IONet to time align the I/O pack data.

Shared IONet is available with ControlST V04.06. Refer to GEH-6812, Mark Controllers Shared IONet User Guide.

IONet conforms to the IEEE 802.3 standard. It is supplied as 100BaseTx and 100BaseFx (fiber) for greater distances, noise rejection, and lightning and ground immunity. A star topology is used with the controller on one end, a network switch in the middle, and I/O packs at the end.

Maximum IONet Distances Including Field Devices

Refer to GEH-6721_Vol_I, the section Industrial IONet Switch (ESWx) for more information.

Industrial grade switches are used for the IONet that meet the codes, standards, performance, and environmental criteria for industrial applications including an operating temperature of -30 to 65°C (-22 to 149 °F) and Class 1, Div. 2. Switches have provision for redundant 10 to 30 V dc power sources (200/400 mA) and are mounted on either a DIN-rail or a base. LEDs indicate the status of the I/O network link, speed, activity, and duplex. IONet Specifications

Local LEDs are provided on the controller indicating the status of: Link, Act, Power, Boot, OnLine, Flash, DC, Diag, and On (USB). Each controller has three 100 MB Ethernet interfaces for the I/O network so that each controller can communicate with up to three IONet networks. In redundant systems, this allows each controller to monitor redundant inputs directly and compare them for any potential discrepancies. Connectors are labeled to simplify maintenance.

IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol is used on the IONet.

18 GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

Controllers also have two Ethernet interfaces to the control network to communicate peer-to-peer with other Mark Ve, Mark VI, Mark VIe, EX2100 or EX2100e Generator Excitation, and LS2100 or LS2100e Static Starter control systems, as well as operator and maintenance stations. Controllers can be time synchronized between units or to a local or remote time source for accurate plant-wide sequence of events (SOE) monitoring.

Mark VIe Control

ControlST Software Suite The ControlST software suite is applied on GE’s wide range of power plant applications, including thermal, wind, gasification, hydro, nuclear, and others.

ToolboxST configuration and diagnostics software can also be loaded onto a laptop computer.

Human-machine Interface (HMI) The HMI is a Windows®-based operator station and engineering workstation for GE Energy’s turbine, generator, and power plant systems. The ControlST software suite includes several high-performance tools for ease-of-use by operators and maintenance personnel. These tools include the WorkstationST* HMI and Historian management application, the ToolboxST* configuration and diagnostics application, CIMPLICITY* graphics tools, and other packages for communications, monitoring and asset management. The HMI can be applied as a stand-alone operator station, an engineering workstation only, or as both. Physically, it is available as a commercial grade or industrial grade computer. It communicates on an Ethernet control network and on a separate Ethernet information network for file transfers and communications to non-GE plant control and monitoring systems. Redundant HMIs and redundant Ethernet networks are available for increased operations and communications reliability. However, vital control and protection functions are processed by the controllers and not in the HMI to mitigate risk to equipment operation and availability. Similarly, high-accuracy time stamping of alarms, events, and SOEs is performed in the controllers (to obtain the best resolution) and then transmitted to the HMI. Alarm state is also maintained in the controller.

Alarm Management Tools The ControlST Software Suite contains a flexible alarm management toolset based on ANSI/ISA-18.2 Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries to assist in improving the safety, quality, and productivity of plant equipment. Embedded WorkstationST and ToolboxST applications provide a user-friendly environment for visualization, navigation, change management, and analysis of alarm and event conditions with a common, time-coherent data set for the plant.

20 GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

Mark VIe Control

Data Collection To achieve the best time-resolution for analysis, alarms and events are initiated and time-stamped in the application software that is running in the controller. There are five types of alarms and events: process alarms, control diagnostic alarms, events, Sequence of Events (SOE), and holds in the startup sequence. SOE is a special category of events that provides high-resolution time-stamps for contact inputs on the order of ±1ms, which are particularly useful in power plants where trips can originate from electrical equipment and grid dynamics. In most cases, all contact inputs in Mark VIe control systems can be enabled for SOE monitoring, which provides a large source plant data for analysis to compliment traditional alarm management data. Data is also collected from WorkstationST servers and third-party OPC Alarm and Event (AE) servers. This data is then available for communication to alarm viewers and archiving in historical files. Data Visualization The value of the alarm system depends on the amount and quality of process data collected, and the manner that it is presented to the user. Alarm states are presented with audible and visual attributes in accordance with ANSI/ISA-18.2. Alarm State Attributes Alarm State (ControlST release V04.04)

Alarm Rationalization During the rationalization stage of the alarm management life-cycle, existing and potential new alarms are systematically evaluated to the criteria in the alarm philosophy. If the alarm meets the criteria, the alarm set-point, consequence, and operator action are documented, and the alarm is prioritized and classified according to the alarm philosophy.

Alarm Prioritization Based on Consequences and Time-to-respond (SILAlarm™)

An advanced rationalization tool, SILAlarm from exida LLC, is available for integration with the ControlST software suite to support and document the results of the rationalization process in a master database. It systematically guides plant personnel through the process of reviewing, justifying, and documenting the design of each alarm, including the following:

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

Reports Configurable alarm report tools are included in the ControlST Software Suite to provide guidance for alarm analysis. An Alarm Performance Metric Report summarizes the key performance metrics and their actual values compared to their target values based on at least 30 days of data. For convenience, configuration of all metrics in the report can be instantly set to a predefined set of default values with a single command, or the configuration can be customized. Individual reports are available for Alarms Per Day, Alarms Per Hour, and Alarms Per 10 Minutes with any combination of the five alarm/event types. For each report, the data can be displayed in a tabular format showing the quantity of occurrences for each alarm during the specified period of time. Also, a bar chart or pie chart can be displayed showing the alarm quantities and the percentage of alarms above and below a threshold level. An Alarm Flood occurs when alarms are occurring at a faster rate than the operator can effectively manage them. ANSI/ISA 18.2 defines an alarm flood period as more than 10 alarms occurring in a 10 minute period. The Alarm Flood report enables configuration of the number of alarms to begin a flood condition (normally > 10), to end a flood condition (normally < 5), and the time interval (normally 10 minutes). A tabular report displays the quantity of alarms during each alarm flood, the alarm/event type, the start time of the flood, and its duration. A supporting pie chart displays the number of alarm floods and the percentage of floods allocated to each of the five alarm/events types. Also useful is the knowledge of which alarms occur most often. The Top Most Frequent Alarms report provides this data with a table, a bar chart, and a pie chart report for a specified period of time. In addition, the pie chart displays the percentage of the overall alarm load that is being allocated to the 10 most frequently occurring alarms.

24 GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

Typical Top Most Frequent Alarms Reports

Chattering Alarms transition between alarm states in a short period of time (typically three times in one minute) and are not related to operator actions. These nuisance alarms are problematic since they are often the most frequently occurring alarms in a plant. A table and bar chart provide information on chattering alarms. Stale Alarms remain in the alarm state for more than 24 hours and usually provide minimal useful information. Table and bar chart reports are provided for stale alarms. Alarm Help The alarm management system has provisions for user help messages for process and control diagnostics alarms. Help can be accessed using a browser by selecting an individual alarm and then selecting the Help button, or through the Help item in a pop-up menu. To expedite troubleshooting, each alarm help message identifies both the possible cause and a recommended corrective action (solution). Standard alarm help messages are provided for control diagnostic alarms related to abnormal conditions in the control platform, such as a relay failure. Process alarm help messages are available from GE Energy for selected turbine and plant configurations. Basic Operator Actions and Navigation A live alarm toolbar simplifies the selection of operator commands and navigation between the alarm management tools and associated tools such as the ToolboxST System Editor. Also, a simple right-click in a display area provides a shortcut menu with additional options. For convenience, unavailable operator actions are listed with subdued coloring to indicate actions that are not suitable for the current alarm state.

Trender The Trender tool is used to capture and display graphs of variables in real time from controllers and other sources. High-speed time-coherent data can be collected from the Mark VIe, Mark Ve, Mark VI, EX2100e, and LS2100e controllers at their execution rate (frame rate) and with sub-millisecond resolution from power converters. Data sets can also be received through OPC HDA from a Historian such as PI Server™, OPC-DA servers, or static files stored on a hard disk in the form: data collection and analysis (.dcaST), comma separated value (.csv), COMTRADE, and Control System Solutions (toolbox) Trend Recorder (.trn).

28 GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II)

Mark VIe Control

Viewing Data Once a trend window is opened, additional variables can be added to the trend using the drag-and-drop operation from logic diagrams, and right-click button from operator screens. If the point has been configured as a historical collection point, the trend backfills with data from the historical data file. If there are more traces than can be conveniently viewed, individual traces can be hidden. Data is still collected, but the traces are not displayed in the Graph View. Multiple traces can be displayed in a single graph or displayed individually with stacked graphs and a common time axis for analysis. Grid lines and data point markers on the x-axis can be superimposed on graphs to assist readability, including unique marker colors for alarm and event types. For data sets that are frequently trended, user-configurable files can be created and stored to provide preconfigured on-demand trends. Automatic Data Collections and Trends DDRs are used for troubleshooting or monitoring special events.

The system can automatically collect groups of variables directly from controllers with the Dynamic Data Recorder (DDR). The user defines an event and time dead-band to capture data with up to 96 variables per DDR. Data is captured at the controller’s frame rate, with up to 12 DDR data sets per controller. Trip Logs Trip logs are defined as part of GE’s standards for each machine controlled. When a trip occurs (the event), values of key control parameters are captured before and after the trip for evaluation. Data collected near the trip event is sampled at frame rate since these values are of greatest interest. Data collected earlier is sampled at progressively longer intervals. Statistical Calculations Trender can calculate a set of basic one-variable descriptive statistics for collected data while in the Replay mode. These statistics are calculated from data displayed between two cursors, and include average, standard deviation, RMS, minimum, maximum, and difference (calculated as final–initial). The calculated values are displayed as columns on the Traces tab when enabled. Spectral Analysis

Diagnosis of complex problems on rotating machinery requires advanced trending tools.

Block Diagram Editor Plant personnel can configure hardware and software in controllers, remote I/O modules, and operator stations with the ToolboxST Block Diagram Editor. SAMA-type format is often used to assist readability.

To assist readability, control software is often represented in a SAMA-type format with a customizable border containing grid coordinates and a footer. Users can select automatic layout of diagram sheets with new sheets added, as needed. This feature is especially convenient for small and medium size applications. A manual layout mode is also provided for customizing sheet layouts to specific documentation requirements. Software blocks can be selected from application-specific libraries and displayed with their dynamic values, variable names, or pin connections. Users can toggle between these three modes as needed. If inputs and outputs are not used in the configured mode, they are hidden on large blocks to reduce information clutter. These wires can be changed by using the drag-and-drop operation to move a wire to a point on another block. The block diagram display helps to assure that the new wiring / programming will be changed correctly (going to the intended point). The animation of the wiring between blocks and the functional representation of the blocks helps users to understand their current effect on the process. Line patterns signify analog versus Boolean data. Line colors indicate good versus bad data quality, and forced versus unforced data. Animation is also provided for the functional representation of certain software blocks to display the current operation. For example, Interpolation blocks display the current (x, y) value and interpolation curve, and motor operated valve (MOV) blocks display the current status of the MOV.

1 Overview The 2000s witnessed a boom in combined cycle gas turbine power plants. This trend has been large enough to significantly impact the generating mix in many countries and fundamentally shift the dynamics of grid operation and dispatch. One outcome of this is that a combined cycle gas turbine plant is now one of the easiest generation assets to manipulate. The modern combined cycle power plant is often expected to start and stop multiple times a week, as well as respond to changing load demands multiple times an hour. The goal of Enhanced Transient Stability (ETS) is to increase the robustness of the Dry Low NOx (DLN)-based gas turbine. GE Energy has re-written the core control software of the gas turbine using a Model-based Control (MBC) - Direct Boundary Control approach, referred to as MBC technology. This technology improves control accuracy and capability.

1.1 Model-based Control (MBC) – Direct Boundary Control The intent of MBC - Direct Boundary Control is to identify operational parameters (such as exhaust temperature, firing temperature, and emissions) of the physical system and create a control loop specific to each parameter to regulate. This ensures that the turbine as a whole, as well as the individual components, is always operating within the intended design space. The Direct Boundary Control concept removes the inherent coupling that comes from legacy control methods, such as exhaust temperature control. Instead, gas turbine actuators or effectors such as fuel, air (inlet guide vanes [IGV]), inlet bleed heat (IBH), and fuel splits may be operated independently to provide a more flexible control solution with greater ability for optimization.

Effector Coupling

The ARES model is based on the engineering cycle deck.

GEH-6810 A

In practice, many gas turbine boundaries are often parameters that are not directly measured or even measurable (such as firing temperature). To overcome this limitation various boundary models are used. The goal of the models is to estimate the behavior of the system, based on known physics, to the level of fidelity required for the application.

Adaptive Real-time Engine Simulation (ARES)

ARES is a high fidelity model of the gas turbine, continuously tuned in real-time to match the performance of the actual gas turbine. This model is derived from the Gas Turbine Performance (GTP) Model application and coded to run real-time in the gas turbine controller. To make the steady state cycle model function transiently in the controller, both a heat soak model and filter were added to supplement the basic cycle calculations. Together they use the existing gas turbine sensors to tune the ARES model to match the actual operating conditions of a unit at any given moment by comparing its prediction of four key parameters to the corresponding sensed feedback, as shown in the following diagram below. These parameters are:

Compressor discharge pressure



Compressordischargetemperature



Exhaust temperature



Generator output (gas turbine contribution only)

The ARES model is a key enabler to execute the Direct Boundary Control philosophy. As previously stated, many parameters that make up a component’s design space are not readily measurable. The ARES model estimates many un-measurable cycle parameters with a high degree of accuracy that can be used directly in control loops or as inputs to additional downstream sub-system models. The fidelity of the ARES model and any additional sub-system models are determined by the precision required to maintain the component in question within its design space. An example of sub-system models that are enabled by ARES are the DLN transfer functions used for the OpFlex*AutoTune* product. These DLN models would not be feasible without first having the ARES model in place.

Bottoming Cycle Performance (BCP) Model

For single-shaft units, the generator output corresponding to the gas turbine contribution to the overall combined cycle power output is not readily available. While the ARES model can be used without all four of the tuning input feedback signals (refer to the section Adaptive Real-time Engine Simulation) the model becomes less accurate than the normal configuration. The bottoming cycle performance (BCP) model provides an estimate of the steam turbine power in real-time by monitoring key plant parameters such as main steam inlet pressure and temperature, as well as input exhaust energy to the bottoming cycle from the ARES model. The gas turbine power is then calculated as the difference between the combined cycle generator output and the BCP estimate of steam turbine power, and the ARES model then run similarly to a multi-shaft unit. The BCP-based estimate of gas turbine power is more accurate under normal circumstances than the ARES gas turbine only estimate. However, if the difference between the two estimates becomes too large, or the required plant data is not available, the ARES gas turbine only estimate of power output is used instead.

The BCP model is based on the 2nd law thermodynamic principle of exergy, or available energy. As seen in the following diagram, the ARES estimate of exhaust energy is first converted to an amount of available work or energy, called a Lauren Cycle efficiency. Then, smaller losses through the HRSG and steam turbine are applied to find the gross steam turbine output. Real-time operating data from key cycle points are required to use the bottoming cycle performance model.

1.4

Control Mode

In the case of a gas turbine, many key parameters are affected by moving a single actuator or effector. This requires the creation of a priority scheme, or control mode, for each parameter that an actuator affect. The typical GE Energy gas turbine continuously controls approximately 20 parameters within the flange-to-flange turbine. The control of these parameters must be achieved with a maximum of four actuators: total fuel, IGV, IBH, and DLN fuel splits. This problem is overcome by prioritizing certain control parameters over others. The control mode is a hierarchy of control loops, with increasing priority to the right. Note The following figure is for reference only and does not represent an actual design.

Example Control Mode for the IGV Actuator

Each input to the control mode is an independent control loop that is controlling one parameter. Whichever loop actively makes it though the control mode gate to determine the command to the actuator is said to be the loop in control (LIC). In some cases, multiple actuators can control the same parameter. For example, either IGVs or total fuel flow could be changed to impact the exhaust temperature. This allows the parameter to continue to be controlled even when one or more of the actuators are saturated (unable to respond further).

Parameter Boundaries

Each loop in the control mode must have a boundary to use as the control loop reference. These parameter boundaries can be a constant, such as the rotor torque limit, or complex multi-variable schedules, such as the compressor operating limit line. Typical gas turbine cycle boundaries include (but are not limited to): •

Hotgas path durability(firing temperature)

Enhanced Transient Stability (ETS)

With the fundamental philosophy of Direct Boundary Control and the ARES model in place, the decision was made to structure the software into two separate areas:

Refer to GEH-6811, ETS-based AutoTune* and Cold Day Performance Overview. The startup control scheme uses the same logic as the legacy part-speed control logic.



Control of the gas turbine cycle – bulk fuel/air control



Control of the DLN system – DLN split control

The control structure for the gas turbine cycle is ETS and the control structure for the DLN system is AutoTune. This document primarily explains ETS. ARES is currently designed for use only when connected to the grid at operating points above full speed no load (FSNL). ETS requires ARES to operate; therefore a separate control scheme, referred to as startup control, is used during turbine startup or shutdown. Startup control consists of all part-speed operation (generator breaker open), and includes all control loops and commands that do not use the ARES model.

2 Improved Transient (Grid) Response The ETS product was designed to improve the transient response of GE Energy gas turbines. It accomplishes this objective by using the following methods: •

Maintenance of global fuel/air ratio through coordinated air-fuel control



Regulation of fuel response (fuel stroke reference [FSR]) by filtering the speed input to the load governor and controlling fuel response to rapid transients



Increase of transient lean blowout (LBO) margin, which is accomplished through transient DLN fuel split biasing.



Improved base load to part load hand off through enhanced fuel control



Sustaineddroop frequencyresponse

2.1

Model-based Coordinated Air-fuel (MBCAF)

The global fuel-air ratio is the total fuel entering the combustor divided by the total airflow entering the combustor.

The modern DLN combustor only remains operable over a small window of stoichiometricratios. If the ratio is too high,the combustor experiences high combustion dynamics and NOx emissions. If the ratio is too low, the combustor flames out or produce excessive CO. The goal of the Coordinated Air-Fuel (CAF) control is to maintain the global fuel-air mixture (or stoichiometric ratio) delivered to the combustor in an operable range.The CAF control typicallyuses IGVsas itsactuator. Therefore, the CAF regulates airflow into the compressor in response to sensed or demanded fuel flow into the combustor.

The MBCAF control improves the transient capability of the gas turbine by adjusting air and fuel flow rates simultaneously.

The basic idea behind the MBCAF control is to create a model of an ideal IGV-to-FSR relationship (also known as the CAF Map), and to then use that modeled relationship to control IGVs in response to a fast FSR motion instead of the nominal exhaust temperature feedback loop. The MBCAF intends to impact IGV control only when FSR is moving faster than the normal IGV control loop can follow. The target of the MBCAF is significant grid events, when FSR can load/unload the unit at a rate that can exceed 10 to 15 times the nominal loading rate.

2.2 Refer to GEH-6814, Speed Governor Response Test (SGT) for GE Heavy-duty Gas Turbines for Speed Governor Response Testing.

Grid Frequency Filter (GFF)

Gas turbine robustness to LBO during abrupt frequency disturbances can be a concern, particularly in the emission compliant modes of a DLN combustor. Any change in grid frequency causes a speed error, and invokes a response in which the speed-based fuel command is modified. Rapid changes in commanded fuel flow are not necessarily paired with well-coordinated changes in airflow, potentially leading the combustor to a condition in which it is operating either too rich or too lean. In addition, grid requirements do not currently require the kind of rapid fuel flow changes that can occur during grid events when no filtering is applied to sensed speed. To address this condition, a speed/frequency filter called the Grid Frequency Filter (GFF) is used to shelter the gas turbine from the full effects of extreme frequency disturbances. As grid speed changes dramatically, only a tolerable rate of the change is passed through to the load governor to set the new fuel command. In effect, this limits the response of the engine during grid events to maneuvers which are more aligned with actual machine capability, as well as only that response required by the relevant grid code(s).

The GFF design is based upon a self-imposed transient power response requirement aligned with the most stringent European grid codes. The assumed transient power response requirement is defined as follows. If measured, the turbine output response to a 1% (60 Hz) change in grid frequency ramped in over a 10 second period and then sustained for another 20 seconds is such that the power at the end of the 10 seconds has changed by at least the power response (P) and is sustained for 20 seconds.

Transient Power Response Requirement (as measured)

The magnitude of the power response (P) is expressed as a percent (%) of rated output and is scheduled as a function of the current gas turbine load (refer to the following figure). Holding each gas turbine to such a requirement is a more appropriate balance between responsiveness (supporting the grid) and precaution as to not call upon units to respond in a way that is beyond their transient operating capability where they may be more vulnerable to LBO.

Power Response Requirement as a Function of Gas Turbine Load

This is consistent with the fact that these units are most likely loading or unloading to or from the emission compliant modes aspart ofa startup or shutdown,and notbeing relied upon to support the grid. If a unit operating just above the turndown point is faced with a positive change in grid frequency, it will be called upon to shed load, but the rate willbelessthanthemaximumandadjustedasload changesastodiscourageanactual transfer out of the combustion mode. Similarly,a unitoperating atbase load that is faced with a negative change in grid frequency will not respond as it cannot pick up any more load fromthe base loaded pointwithoutincurring a higher maintenance factor.

2.3

Flame Anchoring Stability (Transient Split Bias)

The transient DLN split bias function temporarily adjusts pre-determined fuel circuits by pre-determined amounts to ensure sufficient LBO margin during fast transients. The amount of split bias given to a fuel circuit is calculated differently depending upon whether the unit is running in AutoTune or not. If the unit is not running in AutoTune, the fuel splits are biased by a constant percentage during every application of split biasing. If the unit is running in AutoTune, the split biases are calculated in real time to ensure sufficient LBO margin while limiting total split levels in an effort to minimize the impact on combustion system dynamics and emissions.

2.4

Fast Fuel Control Anti Wind-up

The control system maintains a preset dead band between temperature control FSR and speed control FSR when the unit is being operated at base load in order to prevent toggling of control between temperature and speed control. The enhanced part load to base load hand off decreases the delay from intentionally unloading from base to part load FSR control.

2.5

Sustained Droop Response

Sustained droop response provides a means to demonstrate a predominately droop response characteristic from the gas turbine to a grid disturbance and avoid undesirable secondary governor action due to speed/load set point (TNR) raises and lowers that will leave the unit at a different load point after the event passes. OpFlex ETS units will bias the MW load set point up or down as the grid frequency falls or rises from nominal to null the error between a static load set point and the output of the unit indicated by DWATT. The amount of bias is a function of the droop setting of the unit, which is the difference between TNR @ FSFL, and TNR @ FSNL on an ISO ambient day. A machine experiencing a large grid event will only pick up or shed load until it hits boundary limit control where it becomes load-limited.

3 Input Signal Processing (ISP) The accuracy of the ARES model relative to the actual operating turbine is extremely important. If ARES believes a parameter to be one value when in reality it is something else, the control system will have no knowledge that it is in error. The result can be broken hardware, reduced component life, or loss of gas turbine performance. The accuracy of the ARES model is dependent on the accuracy of the gas turbine input sensors. It is therefore more important that the sensors are kept operational and in good calibration for MBC than for a non-MBC-based control scheme. Recognizing this potential weakness, a new input signal processing (ISP) function was developed for MBC. The ISP function provides fault detection, isolation, and accommodation (FDIA) for each analog sensor input that is critical to maintaining the accuracy of ARES across the load envelope. It also initiates appropriate control system actions based on input sensor status. The sensor measurements monitored by the ISP function are those inputs which have the greatest impact on gas turbine operational parameters across the load and ambient envelope This includes those estimated by ARES as well as standard parameters such as CompressorDischarge Pressure and Temperature. The ISP function is designed to minimize the impact of sensor failures to the ARES model. This is accomplished through early and accurate fault detection of critical sensors, by providing a valid alternative to the sensor measurement, and by pulling back from critical boundaries when inputs to ARES are compromised. A key benefit of ISP is to be able to continue to operate the gas turbine with critical sensor failures without concern that hardware damage will occur. This gives the operator freedom to replace the failed sensor at next shutdown opportunity instead of going into a forced outage. The following is a representative list of sensor measurements in the scope of the ISP function:

FDIA

The signal-based sensor FDIA system uses statistical techniques to provide a complete solution to input signal processing diagnostics; out-of-range and in-range fault detection, faulted channel isolation and measured parameter accommodation for simplex, duplex and triplex sensor structures. There are three application code macros (FDIA_TPX, FDIA_DPX, FDIA_SPX), dependent upon the sensor redundancy. Because of the complexity and proprietary nature of the FDIA algorithms, the large number of input and output signals is broken into sections described in the following sections. Each section is represented in the following figure. Note These figures in this section are for informational use only. Actual layout may vary from site to site.

d) Diagnostics There are two types of diagnostic functions used by the FDIA algorithms. The first is the transmittedsignalhealthprocessedbytheVAR_HEALTHblock.Model-basedrange checks are also used as a sanity check on the sensor reading. For example, CPD Channel A (cpd1a) will be faulted if it reads less than 10 psig at part speed e) Selection Selection (SEL): For the input parameter being examined (CPD, CTD, and so forth), SEL displays the output or selected value of the input signal processing logic. The output selection is the value of the parameter used by the control system. Selection status (SST): For the input parameter being examined, SST displays how the output selection is being calculated. For example, a triplex sensor with all good input channels calculates a median output. Refer to the table in the section Faults for a list of all the possible selection methods. f) FaultStatus If a failure has been detected, FST provides a best guess as to the failure mode of that sensor. It also identifies when sensors have high spread. Refer to the table Fault Status for a list of all the possible fault modes. g) Confidence On an individual channel basis, CNF displays on a scale of 0-1 how confident the input signal processing is of that sensor’s reading. A confidence of zero indicates a failure has been detected, while a confidence of one indicates a completely healthy sensor. The long-term average confidence (LTAC) of an individual channel is how confident the input signal processing has been in that sensor’s reading over a period of approximately the past 24 hours, with greater emphasis on more recent sensor behavior. h) Standard Deviation High noise or low noise/stuck faults are detected using an online noise standard deviation (STD) estimator. i)Training Sensor training isa one-timeactivityperformed during commissioning. Allsensorsare trainedatonce ina 30-second timeperiod,during whicha baseline isestablished foreach sensornoisethreshold.Themedianorthemaxstandarddeviationoftheavailable channels is taken toestablish the normal (or baseline) standarddeviation.If the training processis successful for aparticular sensor,the training result logical(LCPD_TRNR) will be set to true. Training also recommended to be performed after sensor replacement. j) Transients Transient detection is important to the reliability of the drift detector. To determine individual sensor transients (LCPD_TR), the algorithm looks for simultaneous movement in all available input channels. The fast transient detector (LCPD_FTR) looks for extreme transients by monitoring for fast, simultaneous movement in all available input channels. The purpose of the fast transient detector is to provide additional protection against false positive fault detections by preventing spike detections and freezing the noise level when multiple channels are moving very quickly. The unit transient detection (LUTR) is true when the unit is in a transient state. This detection is performed only once for all sensors using the following input parameters: fuel stroke reference (FSR), inlet guide vanes (CSRGV), inlet bleed heat (CSRIHOUT), speed (TNH), and the individual gas valve positions.

Fault detection is based on specific fault mode confidence calculations. Specific confidences are combined to determine overall channel confidences and classification of faults, if they exist. The instantaneous channel confidences are combined with recent historical health information to derive a final confidence value for each sensor. Lastly, the accommodation takes into account all system information to decide how to combine each of the sensor readings to obtain a final output value for the measured parameter, which is used by all downstream control functions.

Notifications (alarms with level, HMI indications, events, and such)



Protective actions (trips, load rejection, fail degraded, and such)

Start inhibit (a start permissive) A gas turbine start will be inhibited if the set of currently detected failures will prevent entry into cycle control, assuming these failures persist past breaker closure on the currently selected fuel type (gas or liquid). DWATT failures are notably excluded from the start permissive because the health of these sensors cannot be determined prior to breaker closure,as they typically showabnormal behavior until then (out of range, spiking, and such). A start is also inhibited if CPD, FPG2, or CTIM are showing as having one or less remaining sensors(two+ failures from a triple redundant sensor set). These conditions are imposed to increase starting reliability. In particular, prior to MBC a start requirement was to have low spread between all three CTIM sensors, so this requirement was translated and carried through into the updated protection.



Use a model/surrogate in place of a failed sensor set The main ARES model is reconfigured to tune on three inputs instead of the nominal four when there are no longer any good physical sensor readings available for that particular tuning parameter. The nominal tuning parameters are CPD, CTD, TTXM, and DWATT. Since there are four nominal tuning inputs, ARES can run with degraded accuracy tuning to any combination of three of these sensors, and the fourth data match multiplier is taken as a historical, time-averaged value.



Slew out of ETS (step to spinning reserve) A slew out of all load cycle control occurs when enough sensor failures have occurred that the overall accuracy of the main ARES model outputs cannot be easily determined, and thus the ARES model can no longer be relied upon to control to all machine boundaries. Since there is no backup control mode to MBC at higher loads, this drives a step to spinning reserve. In contrast to this, a fail-degraded mode is used for individual sensor failures where the degree of ARES inaccuracy is quantifiable with current methods, which cannot account for cascading levels of failure. Additionally, there are two conditions separate from the previously mentioned that drive a step to spinning reserve: −



User Guide

Zero CTD available and CTD model invalid – for example, no knowledge of compressor discharge temperature. This is done to lower the maximum possible CTD with the reduction in load, preventing the possibility of CTD getting too high despite not being able to accurately measure it. One consequence of high CTD can be purge auto-ignition. CTD is also used in the IGV part load curve and calculation of IBH flow, both of which can be ignored at spinning reserve, as IGV is at minimum and IBH full open. Zero CTIM available and CTIM model invalid or not present – for example, no knowledge of compressor inlet temperature. CTIM is used throughout the control system as a substitute for ambient temperature, and is so used in many MBC schedules, the standard IGV part load schedule, compressor protection, and accessories permissives such as water wash, evaporative cooling, and such. Step to spinning reserve is the least harsh machine transient that puts the unit in a safe position for control.



Slew out of AutoTune A slew out of Autotune MBC occurs when corrected splits in any single one of the pre-mixed fuel circuits (PM1, PM2, or PM3) can no longer be accurately measured. This occurs when any of the three FPGNx sensors are unavailable, which are used to calculate corrected splits for premixed fuel circuits.



Disable liquid fuel water injection The liquid fuel water injection system is disabled when there are no water injection flow sensors available and the sensor model is invalid. This protection is disabled

during the water injection initialization period, where flow is unstable and known to be inaccurate. This protective action only exists for dual fuel units.

GEH-6810 A



Fail the inlet bleed heat (IBH) system open The IBH system is failed open through the solenoid whenever the compressor needs to be protected due to sensor failures. Opening the IBH system significantly increases surge margin, protects against icing, and generally improves front-end compressor protection. This occurs when all knowledge of compressor inlet temperature (CTIM) has been lost – all physical measurements are unavailable and the corresponding sensor model is invalid or not present. It also occurs when ambient pressure or inlet pressurecannot be accurately measured. In both cases thosemeasurements are important inputs to compressor boundaries, so opening the IBH is the safe position.



Disable the IBH DLN turndown schedule (raise the minimum IGV angle) The IBH DLN turndown schedule is disabled when there is no way to determine the IBH flow (CQBH), which is used as feedback for the control loop. This occurs when the downstream IBH pressure transmitter or the dP transmitter is failed and the CQBH model is not valid. In many cases, this will close the IBH. As a consequence, the minimum IGV angle is increased to compensate for the potential loss of IBH flow at low loads.



Load reject to full speed no load (FSNL) A load reject to FSNL occurs when it is determined there is no available feedback of generator watts(DWATT),either bya physical sensor or sensor model. A load reject will not be initiated until 10 seconds after the signal L52GX_TD picks up, which itself isa time-delayed breaker closure signal.The reason for this is to preventa load reject from occurring before the sensor-based FDIA has initialized for the DWATT sensorsandhashad time to clearanyexisting faults.Ifthe sensorsarerepaired,time is given to re-initialize the FDIA and clear the fault.



Fired shutdown A fired shutdown is commanded if any of the start inhibit conditions picks up before the breaker is closed on a start.This isdone because if this condition remains true, entry into MBC will be prevented. The second condition that will initiate a fired shutdown is when there isa complete lossof gas fuel temperature information while on totalgasfuel.Themain concernhere isover-temperatureofthe gasfuelsystem, resulting ina gas fuelsystem leakand/or explosion.



Trip The unit is tripped if on total gas fuel and the gas fuel pressure cannot be effectively regulated due to the loss of all FPG2 transmitters (except during gas leak test, when the P2 transmitters are likely to be saturated). It is also tripped if compressor discharge pressure (CPD) cannot be estimated when at full speed and the breaker is closed. This occurs when all CPD transmitters are unavailable, and the CPD sensor model is not valid. During loaded operation, knowledge of CPD is required for compressor surge protection as well as for ARES operation.



Fail-degraded operation Fail-degraded is an operational mode used for situations when the impact of sensor failures on key gas turbine operational boundaries has been quantified, and thus can be accommodated.

Fail-degraded Operation

Fail degraded biases are applied to machine boundary targets as appropriate to accommodate sensor failures. Frame-specific studies have been completed to quantify the impact of individual sensors under progressing levels of failure. For example, an error in the upstream IBH pressure (CPBH1) has been shown to have relatively little effect on the operational boundaries. In contrast, a triple CPD failure which causes FDIA to select the backup model will have significant impact, triggering a noticeable reduction in output. ISP will determine a conservative direction and magnitude of boundary movement (refer to the table Direction of Fail-degraded Biases and Output Signals) to safely operate the unit when sensors have been deemed failed. The magnitude of the fail-degraded bias is determined in a conservative manner to protect the system. The resulting impact on gas turbine operational boundaries relative to actual is then calculated and the sensor failure with the largest impact is taken as the fail-degraded bias for that particular error. Up to 18 boundaries can be examined for the frame specific fail-degraded study. The list of boundaries presented in the following table. Some boundaries are applicable only in Mode 6/6.3 while in Autotune, as closed loop split control is needed to control to these boundaries. Other boundaries are applicable only with the Extraction Flow Modulation system. Fail Degraded Study Boundaries and Applicability

There are seven general fault states for a triplex sensor set, including the non-faulted or nominal state. Two of these fault states do not significantly affect operation of the gas turbine: triplex with disagreement (three channels remaining but disagree), and failure to duplex (two channels remaining). No fail-degraded biases are applied in these scenarios, as the ability of the signal-based sensor FDIA system to protect the gas turbine is not significantly impacted due to these failures. The five remaining fault states are defined for MBC as shown in the followingtable. Fail Degraded States (XXX = sensor set, ex. CPD, DWATT, FPG2, and such)

3

Failure of all Sensors (model not present or invalid - default value selected)

The fail-degraded state of each sensor is contained in a set of generic signal names xxx_ FS. Inputs to writing these signals are all of the relevant protective logicals as generated by the signal-based FDIA system. Logic exists to prevent toggling of the fault state too quickly. Each of the sensor fault states is an input to the fail-degraded macro, which is used to pick the appropriate set of biases. The internal macro pins, xxxSEL are simply row vectors in which all the elements are zero except the one column k selected by the appropriate fault state, xxx_FS = k. The final requested fail-degraded biases for each sensor (internal macro pins xxxFD) are then the product of the max case bias matrix and the selection row vector. Application code macro FDBIAS_XXXXX is updated for a specific frame (XXXXX= frame size, such as 6FA.03, 7FA03, 9FA03, or 9FB01). The macro was designed with max case in mind, so there is room to enter biases for all of the potential fault states for each sensor set. The direction that biases the boundary targets in a conservative direction varies on a boundary-by-boundary basis, as shown in the following table. In particular, NOx is biased up to protect against blowout, and CO is biased down for the same effect, as less CO means the combustor is hotter. The OLL conservative direction is down as this bias is applied to CPRERR - the code calculates a lower CPRERR and so has the effect of lowering the OLL. The final fail-degraded biases are rate-limited before being written outside the macro and sent to the boundary targets. Direction of Fail-Degraded Biases and Output Signals

In order to help the operator gauge the potential impact of the applied fail-degraded biases onmachineoperation,the fail-degradedmacrooutputsa fail-degraded levelona scaleof 1-10 (CA_FDLVL), with 10 being the worst possible (maximum impact to operability). The fail-degraded level indication is to be used only in a relative way (for example, level 1 is less severe than level5). It only indicates the relative sizes of the targetbiasesbeing applied, which may or may not have an impact on the unit. For example, if a large firing temperature bias is applied and the unit is at part load, then there is no effect. Similarly, if the unit has a large amount of surge margin, then a large OLL limit bias also will not affect the unit. If the fail-degraded level is greater than 0, an alarm is sent to the HMI (LCA_SENS_FD) and fail-degraded mode is indicated on the HMI (L83CA_FD). Another output parameter from the fail-degraded macro is LCA_SENS_F. This logical is meant to be used by remote tuners as an indication that the unit has sensor failures detected on the current fuel (gas or liquid) which should be resolved prior to tuning a unit. This is slightly different from the fail-degraded level indication as it will pick up regardless of whether target biases are being applied or not. The magnitude of potential gas turbine derate is indicated by the fail degraded level, on a scale of 1-10, with higher numbers being more severe. The scale is relative and does not indicate a specific impact to the gas turbine, as this can vary with operating condition.

User Guide

The application of the ISP strategy brings with it the benefit of more flexibility in the automated protective actions of the gas turbine when station instrumentation fails. This means that when certain sensors fail, the unit may still operate at a reduced output level rather than causing the unit to trip. Fail degraded is an operational mode used for situations when the impact of sensor failures on key gas turbine operational boundaries has been quantified, and thus can be conservatively accommodated in the parameter boundaries. The new operating state depends on the specific sensor failure or set of failures. The fail degraded concept was introduced to maintain power generation, while potentially avoiding more severe consequences of failures, such as an automatic shutdown or trip. The magnitude of potential gas turbine derate is indicated by the fail degraded level, on a scale of 1-10, with higher numbers being more severe. The scale is relative and does not indicate a specific impact to the gas turbine, as this can vary with operating condition.

Sensor Models

An integral piece of the ISP is a generic tool set of sensor-specific models that may be used to provide additional virtual sensor readings to assist in unit operation and control. As previously stated, sensor models are used to increase the range of protective actions available to ISP, and to assist in fault isolation. The sensor models are all physics-based models, and many are tuned on a machine-to-machine basis, either automatically in real-time, or at unit commissioning. A representative list of sensor models included with the ISP function is as follows •

Ambient pressure



Inlet dew point temperature



Inlet bleed heat flow



Compressor discharge pressure



Compressordischargetemperature



Compressor inlet temperature



Generator power



Gasfuelflow



Liquid fuel flow



Liquid fuel water injection flow

Each sensor model provides an indication of its validity, as well as an alarm for faulted conditions. The validity logical indicates when the model should and should not be used. Some sensor models are expected to not be valid at certain times, for example, there are ARES-based models that cannot be valid when the main ARES model is not valid. In these cases the alarm is masked, but the model output is not used by the ISP.

Long-term (LT) Confidence – On an individual channel basis, LT confidence displays on a scale of 0-1 how confident the input signal processing has been in that sensor’s reading over a period of approximately the past 24 hours, with greater emphasis on more recent sensor behavior. This box turns red if long-term confidence is very low. Refer to the section Input Signal Processing (ISP) for a list of faults.

Fault Status – If a failure has been detected, fault status provides a best guess as to the failure mode of that sensor. Also identifies when sensors have high spread. This box turns red if a fault has been detected, and yellow if high spread is detected. Fail Degraded Box – The fail degraded box displays if the unit is utilizing a sensor model input. As displayed in the previous figure, the unit is in Fail Degraded Mode Level 9 due to a CTIM hardware set failure.

MBC Sensor Training

As described previously, one of the fault detection checks looks for abnormally high or low noise relative to a normal baseline. The baseline is established once during the commissioning of the software, during which adjustments to the default sensor noise levels are made. The constants are then stored in non-volatile random access memory (NOVRAM) within the gas turbine controller such that they are recalled even if the controller is powered down and returned to service. If failed sensors are not replaced in kind, training should be manually initiated to avoid unnecessary protective actions. This screen is used to facilitate this tuning process. Note Sensor training must be completed before loading the unit beyond spinning reserve for the first time. Noise Training Initiation Button (On) – This is located in the center of the screen toward the top in the Sensor Training box. Clicking this button performs training on all sensor sets that have been enabled and meet the necessary permissives. This button changes to blue in color for the duration of the training process. Individual Sensor Set Training Status Boxes – These comprise the majority of the screen. The training procedure can be enabled or disabled for an individual sensor set by selecting the Enable or Disable button for that sensor. Successful training automatically sets the Disable button (displays in blue), but the user can enable noise training at a later time by manually selecting the Enable button again. All sensor sets are set to enable (Enable button displays in blue) initially for convenience. Upon successful completion of sensor training the sensor displays Trained in green. Otherwise, Not Trained displays in red. Example: In the figure MBC Sensor Tuning HMI Screen only the CTIM sensor set has been successfully trained. With the exception of TS2P and WQ, all sensor sets in the right column have met the necessary requirements for training (they display Permitted in green and Enable displays in blue). Clicking the On button would train all of them simultaneously. In contrast, the sensor sets in the left column have all met the permissive (Permitted displays in green) but are disabled. The sensor sets associated with water injection and the Cooling Optimization Package (COP) have not met the permissives (Not Permitted displays in red) because the unit is consuming gas rather than liquid fuel and at a load below where COP may be initiated.

MBC Sensor Tuning

In the event a sensor set measuring a critical input has failed, sensor models are used to support the unit in fail degraded operation. For simplicity, sensor models are referred to with an M suffix added to the signal name. As an example, the sensor model for compressor inlet temperature which has signal name CTIM is CTIMM. Asubsetofthe sensorsetswithmodelcounterpartsincludeautomatedtuningfeaturesfor their respective model. This is done to maximize its accuracy. The indications and pushbuttons required to use this functionality reside in their respective sensor tuning boxes located in the Sensor Model Tuning field in the upper right hand corner of the screen as displayed in the following figure. In general, the automated tuning process makes permanent adjustments to the sensor model calculations based on the hardware outputs at the time tuning is initiated. Sensor models should be tuned during commissioning as well as after any hardware changes within the subsystem they reside as they do make assumptions about subsystem components.

MBC Sensor Tuning HMI Screen

Outputs – The output of the sensor model is displayed in the field with the white background, below its hardware counterpart displayed in the field with the grey background. If the control logic detects a problem with a given sensor model, the white field containing its output displays Invalid. (Refer to the previous figure; inlet bleed heat flow [CQBH] displays Invalid.) Similarly, when a fault is detected within a sensor set, the text in the grey field containing the hardware output changes from black to white. (Refer to compressor discharge pressure [CPD] in the previous figure.) This designates that the hardware is not performing optimally but is still being used by the controller.

Faceplates – If the controller is using the information provided by the hardware, the faceplate associated with a given signal remains grey. In the event all available hardware intended to provide that signal has failed, the unit operates in a fail-degraded state using output from the sensor model. This is indicated by the faceplate of the sensor model changing to red. (Refer to the compressor inlet temperature (CTIM) in the previous figure.) The popup screen associated with each faceplate is available on this screen by clicking the faceplate on the Sensor Data screen. Fail Degraded Box – Similar to the functionality on the Sensor Data screen, the fail degraded box displays if the unit is utilizing a sensor model input. As displayed in the previous figure, the unit is in Fail Degraded Mode Level 9 due to a CTIM hardware set failure. Individual Sensor Set Training Status Boxes – If a sensor model has never been tuned, Not Tuned displays in red. In the previous figure both the water injection flow sensor model (WQM) and the gas fuel flow sensor model (FQGM) have not been tuned. The first step to tune is to verify the Permitted indication is green. This means all of the required permissives specific to that particular sensor model have been met. This is the case for the inlet bleed heat flow sensor model (CQBH) in the previous figure. Tuning can then be initiated by clicking the Enable button. This button remains blue in color for the duration of the tuning process which is different for each sensor model. Once the tuning process has been completed, Commissioned displays in green on the respective sensor model. For example, in the previous figure, the compressor inlet temperature sensor model (CTIMM) and the inlet bleed heat flow sensor model (CQBHM) are commissioned. Note Tuning can be repeated after commissioning if system hardware has been changed and/or a sensor model indicates it is invalid, and all of its input parameters have been verified to be in working order.

5 Cycle Reference Parameters 5.1

Combustion Reference (CRT)

The control variable Combustion Reference (CRT) is used to define combustion mode transfer points (including staying in emissions compliance) and fuel split schedules for the DLN system, replacing the functionality of the traditional TTRF1 signal. The CRT can also be used as a boundary for control of specific gas turbine cycle effectors as required by given engine configuration. Depending on the plant requirements, the signal CRT can also be used for scheduling the operation of additional plant equipment through the distributed control system (DCS). Encoded parameters are proprietary to GE Energy.

Many cycle parameters, including the CRT, are encoded; the value is not given in engineering units but rather in non-dimensional units. The encoded values still allow for full evaluation and manipulation of gas turbine operation.

5.2

Turbine Reference (TRT)

The control variable TRT is used to define proper or nominal turbine operation, predominantly at base load. It is an encoded value that allows for verification of predefined turbine operation by the operators of the power plant to ensure that gas turbine operation is as expected. This encoded value is synonymous with previous usage of TTRF1 by gas turbine operators to verify that the unit is operating correctly on the exhaust temperature control curves, which are no longer in use with ETS. A correlation between a gas turbine input parameter such as ambient temperature or compressor inlet temperature and turbine reference is provided to the customer at commissioning of the unit to be used to assess proper gas turbine operation.

6 Exhaust Spread Monitoring Exhaust spread monitoring (ESM) encompasses exhaust temperature measurement and combustion spread calculation and protection. The primary functions of the exhaust temperature measurement are to combine the individual exhaust thermocouple (TC) measurements into a single parameter for turbine control and over-temperature alarming and trip purposes, and to provide valid exhaust TC measurements for use in the combustion spread monitor. The individual TC inputs are sorted, the faulted TCs are rejected, and the average is calculated from the remaining TCs. The healthy TC values are then passed to the combustion spread monitor. The primary function of the combustion spread monitor is to reduce the likelihood of extended damage to the gas turbine if the combustion system deteriorates. The combustion spread monitor oversees the state of the combustion system by calculating spread limits and analyzing the spread patterns of the exhaust TCs to define the conditions constituting alarm and actionable events. The exhaust spread is calculated using only available and healthy TC data. ESM includes the advanced features for sensor fault detection, improved combustion spread monitoring, and TC adjacency logics. This feature results in improved fault detection to more accurately differentiate between an actual combustion spread event and a false indication due to failed sensors. The result is reduced nuisance trips from false combustion spread indications. The sensor failure detection algorithm receives and sorts exhaust thermocouple inputs from the turbine I/O and rejects failed TCs. The highest and lowest non-rejected TC values are discarded and the average is calculated from the remaining TCs. The highest and lowest non-rejected TCs are excluded from the average exhaust temperature calculation to minimize the contribution of outlying TC values to the overall weighted average. Three methods of sensor health and availability checks are performed: •

Validity of the input from the controller card



Variation within an expected rate of change



Variation within an expected range

The sensors are also sorted into groups for processor level failure checking. Based on the previously listed failure possibilities, a thermocouple fault array has been added to identify the failure mode as follows. Added TC sensor failure logic based on:

High rate of change between scans

8 Appendix A Mark* VI Limitations with MBC Products This document addresses loss of functionality for MBC upgrades on the Mark VI platform.

MBC is an alternative control designed to improve the performance and operational flexibility of a GE heavy-duty gas turbine. These improvements are based on a fundamental shift in the control approach, using real-time modeling techniques to calculate and maintain necessary boundary margins across the operational range of the unit. The code required to run these high fidelitymodelsexceeds some limitations in the legacy Mark VI control system. The amount of code exceeds memory limits and no longer allows an online download to a Mark VI controller, regardless of the controller hardware.

8.1

Mark VI History

The Mark VI control was introduced in 1999 for gas and steam turbine controls on generator and mechanical drives. This scalable control is applied to large and small systems, such as industrial steam turbine controls, large gas turbine control systems, and plant controls. Normal Mark VI control system production ended in 2009, after the widespread acceptance of the Mark VIe control, its successor. However, a full suite of spare parts is still in production to support Mark VI control systems in the field. In addition to spare parts, software upgrades have also been offered for Mark VI hardware.

8.2

Online Download

The controller runs the application code from random access memory (RAM). Each time the controller isrestarted,theapplication code iscopied frompermanentstorage in the flash memory into the RAM. This allows new application code to be tested by downloading it into RAM and then to restore the original configuration by restarting the controller. Alternately, the new code can be made the default by writing it to permanent storage. Some application code changes, including editing, inserting, or deleting blockware can be downloaded to RAM without stopping the control process. This is knownasanonlinedownload.

Download Application Code

Other application code changes, including modifications to system memory sizes cannot be downloaded to RAM. They must be downloaded to permanent storage only and the controller restarted. Any change that can be implemented with an online download can also be performed this way. During an online download, two copies of the code exist in RAM. The new or updated code is loaded in parallel with the currently running code until the switch is made within one frame of download completion. The memory required to accept two copies of the code has been exceeded with some of the MBC applications. The amount of code required to run MBC boundary models and simulation live in the controllers has exceeded virtual memory limits set by both the operating system and the architecture of the Mark VI control. Double-clicking on an error takes you to the area of code where the limit was reached, but this provides no useful information.

When attempting an online download from the CSS toolbox application, errors such as Error 110 - Insufficient memory or Error D62 - Unable to Collapse Voter Tables display. Other errors could be reported depending on what area of memory is being loaded when the limit is reached. The following is a sample error message: Sending download command... Sys reported???? during expand - double-click message to go to the offending blockware - hit F1 for help-Error D62 - SYSERR Sys (62): Unable to collapse voter tables. When the online download fails, no action is taken by the controller and operation continues as normal with the pre-download or as-running code.

8.3 Follow standard published procedures for performing an offline download.

Dynamic Data Recorder, Logic forcing, and control constant changes can still be performed online and saved to permanent storage. However, code changes or other changes that cause a minor difference displayed in the CSS toolbox application require an offline download and controller restart.

Basic MBC structure

Adaptive Real-time Engine Simulation (ARES) ARES is a high-fidelity model of the gas turbine, continuously tuned in real time to match the performance of the actual machine. This tuned model is required to generate the virtual parameters necessary to support the physics-based boundary models. It is currently designed for use only when connected to the grid at operating points above full speed no load (FSNL). The ARES model and tuning structure is pre-configured in software code using the GE Control System Solutions (toolbox) and ToolboxST* applications. It runs automatically upon a normal startup and loading of the gas turbine. No additional action is needed by the operator.

Boundary Models MBC uses physics-based boundary models that define the operational boundary conditions at any point in time. To enhance system performance, the gas turbine control system must be able to run as close to these boundaries as possible, regardless of ambient condition, load, fuel properties, or component deterioration. The direct boundary control approach requires that these models of the operational boundaries be suitable for real-time operation within the turbine control system. Physics-based models that capture the fundamental behavior of the process boundaries are essential to robust enhanced operation under MBC. Typical gas turbine operational boundaries include (but are not limited to): •

Hot gas path durability (firing temperature)



Exhaust frame durability



NOx emissions



CO emissions



Combustor lean blow-out



Combustion dynamics



Compressor surge



Compressor icing



Compressor aero-mechanical limits



Compressor clearances



Compressor discharge temperature

As with ARES, the boundary models are preconfigured and locked in software code, and require no special operator attention.

Control Mode Strategy MBC uses direct boundary control, which is achieved through the creation of error terms corresponding to each system operational boundary (the difference between feedback and target values), the allocation of these error terms to control effectors (such as IGV, IBH, and fuel splits), and the prioritization of boundaries at the effector level. In some cases, multiple effectors may be used to close a single error term (when one or more of the effectors have reached a physical limit). One of the goals of MBC is to ultimately replace the vast majority of the existing control functionality. However, the initial implementation is designed to provide limited authority adjustment of the baseline control system’s effector positions. This approach allows for the performance benefits of MBC, while leaving intact all existing special case machine protection logic (grid code compliance, load rejection, and so on). In addition, the MBC control mode is currently only active during combustion Mode 6 operation (approximately 40% - 100% load under ISO conditions).

Combustion Dynamics Monitoring To date, combustion dynamics hardware installed on GE gas turbines has been used for monitoring and diagnostic purposes. Outputs from the system were not routinely utilized in control algorithms. However, with MBC, the knowledge of dynamics boundaries is important to the placement of the control effectors for performance enhancement. Furthermore, due to the long time-constant inherent to the hardware, it became desirable to implement a transfer function model that would provide a representation of the current dynamics in a real-time fashion. The following figure displays the Combustion Dynamics Monitoring (CDM) system implementation for MBC. The PAMC I/O pack and SAMB terminal board are used in place of the VAMB\TAMB boards in Mark* Ve and Mark* VIe applications). Additional Charge Amp Power Supply MBC Software

Additional VAMB /TAMB configuration

CDM System Integration with MBC (New Components Circled)

The transfer function model is continuously tuned using the actual dynamics inputs. This model was designed to remain available to MBC (for a limited duration) in the case of a CDM hardware fault. Refer to the section, Alarms.

Fault Detection, Isolation, and Accommodation Due to the significance of ARES to the overall MBC structure, sensor faults and errors may have a greater impact on gas turbine operation than in the past. Therefore, it is important that the impact of input sensor faults on the model is minimized. As a result, a Fault Detection, Isolation, and Accommodation (FDIA) algorithm was developed to account for the occurrence of in-range sensor failures (for example, gradual sensor drift) supplied as inputs to the model. This algorithm was designed to supplement fault protection in the existing control system, which takes action only in the case of hard or out-of-range failures (failure high or low). Only faults of the most significant sensor inputs to the model can be detected with the current FDIA implementation. These sensors, referred to as primary inputs, are listed in the table below:

It is important to note that for redundant sensors, FDIA does not look at each individual sensor value; it uses only the voted value as an input to the algorithm. This means that in order to detect an in-range failure of any Dual or TMR sensor with FDIA, multiple sensors must fail (this is a statistically unlikely event). In addition, protection has been put in place (if not pre-existing) to account for failures of several other important inputs to ARES. For these inputs, referred to as secondary inputs (listed in the table below), this is achieved simply by checking the values against calculated upper and lower limits (derived using virtual models).

Fail Degraded Mode During a detected failure of any of the primary or secondary inputs, the unit may continue running MBC in what is termed a Fail Degraded mode of operation. This occurs due to the fact that the accuracy of the ARES and boundary models potentially decreases with a faulted sensor input. In order to protect the machine from running in a potentially harmful region, the unit is therefore operated in a more conservative manner (further from the known boundary limits). The new operating state will depend on the specific sensor failure. This Fail Degraded concept was introduced to maintain power generation, while avoiding an automatic shutdown or trip. Upon entering this mode of operation, the status field on the main gas turbine HMI screen will display Fail Degraded Mode. If this occurs, refer to the Alarms section of this document.

Redundant Gas Manifold Pressure Sensors In MBC, the control system heavily relies on the availability of accurate fuel split values. The gas fuel manifold pressure sensors (96GNs) help in the calculation of these splits. However, they previously existed only in a simplex fashion (that is, no redundancy present). To improve the overall reliability of the system, the MBC product requires triple modular redundant (TMR) 96GN sensors. Therefore, as part of the MBC installation, six additional sensors (two each for PM1, PM2, and PM3) are added prior to startup. Each group is median selected to determine the correct input.

Applications Fuel Flexibility The OpFlex* Wide Wobbe product uses MBC to provide fuel flexibility to the gas turbine. More specifically, it enables the 7241 DLN 2.6 combustor to adapt to varying fuel constituents in order to maintain acceptable parts life, output, and emissions targets. Past simulation and field testing has demonstrated gas turbine operability under a wide range of fuel composition conditions (as indicated using the Wobbe Index calculation). This is achieved while observing emissions targets, and maintaining stable control of all relevant boundaries.

Performance Enhancement With the additional CDM system information, OpFlex Cold Day Performance allows the unit to run to its operational boundaries. This application allows for base load output improvements, with the levels of such improvements varying based on ambient conditions. This is achieved while observing emissions targets, and maintaining stable control of all relevant boundaries.

DLN Auto Tuning The OpFlex Auto Tune product provides a solution that allows a customer to adjust their emissions targets in real-time (with adjustments restricted to pre-determined limits). While the unit is operating on the NOx and/or CO boundaries, the operator can adjust the respective targets to meet changing requirements. The software will run the unit to these emissions targets if there are no other restrictive boundaries.

HMI Screens Several HMI screens have been added or modified in order to communicate the status of various MBC components to the operator. Examples of these screens are provided below, along with some high-level details (use the keys for guidance).

Sensor Data This screen displays measured and/or calculated values for the signals most critical to MBC. In addition, a status indicator is included for each signal, identifying whether or not a hardware fault is present. Note The following screen is provided with the OpFlex Wide Wobbe and OpFlex Auto Tune products only. The actual screen may vary slightly from what is displayed here.

CDM Fault Tree – The following dialog box is displayed by clicking the CDM Fault Tree button. It displays how the CDM faults feed into the system lockout/trouble alarms. This can be useful when troubleshooting the CDM system.

Auto Tune User Input – The two slider bars, shown in the top right corner of the Combustion screen, are used to bias the MBC NOx and CO targets to desired levels (slider bar setting equates to the bias added to the nominal targets). This provides the operator with the (limited) ability to modify the control algorithm in order to meet changing needs of the machine or plant. In the case of NOx, the bias can be adjusted as a trade-off with combustion dynamics, particularly for machines with high Peak 1 levels. Increasing NOx may result in lower Peak 1 dynamics; this can be useful for machines with an SCR. Conversely, decreasing NOx may result in higher Peak 1. This feature is only functional when MBC is active, and in conditions when no other operational boundary will be violated (in other words, it is designed so that no operator setting will adversely affect the machine—all other boundaries will be maintained). Assuming the above conditions are met, the MBC software will automatically tune the machine to operate safely at the new target level(s). Note Although it is present on the HMI screen, the CO target bias functionality (originally added for part load heat rate considerations) has been disabled in the current version of the MBC software. There are no plans to activate it at the time of this publication.

DLN This screen has been modified to include readings from the fuel system manifold pressure sensors. For the MBC products, triple-redundancy has been added for PM1, PM2, and PM3 (due to the criticality of these sensors), and their values are provided on the screen displayed below. The single-redundant Quaternary manifold pressure sensor is also included. Note The following screen is provided with the OpFlex Wide Wobbe, OpFlex Cold Day Performance, and OpFlex Auto Tune products. The actual screen may vary slightly from what is displayed here.

Alarms As part of the high-level protection strategy associated with MBC, alarms indicate various faults that have an impact on the system. It is important that these guidelines be followed to maintain the integrity and operability of MBC. It is imperative that only trained personnel perform any of the below actions, and that all sitewide safety procedures are followed.

Ambient Press Fault-Xfer To Site Constant Description There is a fault in the ambient pressure sensor or associated wiring. While this alarm is active, MBC operates in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using a virtual value for ambient pressure. Note that ambient pressure is considered a secondary input for fault detection. The other secondary inputs can be found in the table Additional Fault Detection – Secondary Inputs. If two secondary inputs fail, MBC will be disabled and the unit will be returned to baseline control. Possible Cause Ambient pressure sensor limits were exceeded. Solution Inspect the condition of the sensor wiring and tubing. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

ARES Diagnostic Fault - MBC Disabled Description The ARES model has created a diagnostic fault. This alarm will automatically disable MBC and return the unit to baseline control. Possible Cause A fault was detected in the execution of the ARES model. Solution Allow at least five minutes for the alarm to clear. To re-activate MBC, select the MBC RESET button on the Sensor Data (or CDP Data) HMI screen. Alternatively, you may also unload out of Mode 6, then immediately return to Mode 6. If the alarm becomes active again (or if the original alarm never clears), contact the PAC center for assistance.

CDM Trouble - Input Signal Health Faults Description There is a fault in the Combustion Dynamics Monitor. Possible Cause At least one input signal is unhealthy on either of the two VAMBs/PAMCs. Solution Check for faulted inputs from the Combustion HMI screen. A failure of all even channels, all odd channels, or both indicates a failed charge amplifier power supply. In this case, check the fuses and breakers for each supply. Reset breakers and replace fuses as necessary.

Solution If this does not clear the alarm, it is likely that one, or more, individual combustion dynamics probes (or its wiring) has failed. Inspect all of the following components. Repair or replace hardware as needed: 1

Dynamics probes and wiring

2

Charge amplifiers and power supplies

3

TAMB/SAMB boards and wiring

4

VAMB/PAMC boards and wiring

Solution Continue to monitor the status of the CDM system from the HMI to ensure the alarms have cleared. The overall CDM system will remain healthy as long as a minimum of six probe input signals are healthy.

CDM Trouble - Input Signal New Health Faults Description There are new faults in the Combustion Dynamics Monitor. This alarm will stay active for 10 seconds to alert the operator to the change in the system. Possible Cause One or more new signals going into either of the VAMBs/PAMCs displays unhealthy. Solution Check for faulted inputs from the Combustion HMI screen. A failure of all even channels, all odd channels, or both indicates a failed charge amplifier power supply. In this case, check the fuses and breakers for each supply. Reset breakers or replace fuses as necessary. Solution If this does not clear the alarm, it is likely that one, or more, individual combustion dynamics probes (or its wiring) has failed. Inspect all of the following components. Repair/replace hardware as needed: 1

Solution Continue to monitor the status of the CDM system from the HMI to ensure the alarms have cleared. The overall CDM system will remain healthy as long as a minimum of six probe input signals are healthy.

CPD Sensor - In Range Failure Description The compressor discharge pressure (CPD) has drifted or shifted from its true measurement. While this alarm is active, MBC will operate in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using a virtual value for CPD. Possible Cause FDIA has detected that the median-selected CPD sensor value has drifted or shifted (in range) from its true measurement. Solution Perform a visual inspection of the sensor terminations in the control cabinet or junction box. If repairs can be made online, then the alarm may be cleared after repairs are completed by selecting the FDIA RESET button from the MBC Sensor Data (or CDP Data) screen on the HMI (the application will verify that the sensor value is again accurate). Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the three CPD sensors and all associated wiring and tubing. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

CTD Sensor - In Range Failure Description The Compressor Discharge Temperature (CTD) has drifted or shifted from its true measurement. While this alarm is active, MBC will operate in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using a virtual value for CTD. Possible Cause FDIA has detected that the median-selected CTD sensor value has drifted or shifted (in range) from its true measurement. Solution Perform a visual inspection of the sensor terminations in the control cabinet or junction box. If repairs can be made online, then the alarm may be cleared after repairs are completed by selecting the FDIA RESET button from the MBC Sensor Data (or CDP Data) screen on the HMI (the application will verify that the sensor value is again accurate). Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the three CTD sensors and all associated wiring. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

CDM Trouble - CDM Locked Out Description The CDM system has been locked out due to one or more of the following causes. While this alarm is active, MBC will operate in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using virtual values for combustion dynamics. Possible Cause Both VAMBs/PAMCs are unavailable (board diagnostic displays unhealthy) Solution If a VAMB/PAMC has failed (check board diagnostics), follow the appropriate procedures to replace the board. Download the board configuration, and select the CDM RESET button from the Combustion HMI screen. Possible Cause Both VAMBs/PAMCs have less than six healthy inputs Solution If individual input faults are present, check which inputs are faulted from the Combustion HMI screen. A failure of all even channels, all odd channels, or both indicates a failed charge amplifier power supply. In this case, check the fuses and breakers for each supply. Possible Cause One VAMB/PAMC is unavailable, while the other has less than six healthy inputs Solution If individual input faults are present, check which inputs are faulted from the Combustion HMI screen. A failure of all even channels, all odd channels, or both indicates a failed charge amplifier power supply. In this case, check the fuses and breakers for each supply. Possible Cause Band frequency limits set in the VAMB/PAMC configuration are out of range Solution Verify that the VAMB/PAMC configurations are equal, and resolve any mismatches. Select the CDM RESET button from the Combustion HMI screen.

Continue to monitor the status of the CDM system from the HMI, to ensure the faults have cleared.

Dewpoint Sensor Trouble - Surrogate Active Description An inlet dew point temperature sensor fault has been detected. While this alarm is active, MBC will operate in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using a virtual value for dew point. This may introduce error in the unit NOx control. Note that dew point is considered a secondary input for fault detection. The other secondary inputs can be found in the table Additional Fault Detection – Secondary Inputs. If two secondary inputs fail, MBC will be disabled and the unit will be returned to baseline control. Possible Cause Inlet dew point temperature sensor limits were exceeded. Solution Inspect the condition of the sensor wiring and tubing. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

DWATT Sensor - In Range Failure Description The gas turbine output sensor has drifted or shifted from its true measurement. While this alarm is active, MBC will operate in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using a virtual value for DWATT. Possible Cause FDIA has detected that the high-selected DWATT sensor value has drifted or shifted (in range) from its true measurement. Solution Perform a visual inspection of the sensor terminations in the control cabinet or junction box. Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the two DWATT sensors and all associated wiring. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

FDIA Diagnostic Fault - MBC Disabled Description There is an FDIA system fault. This alarm automatically disables MBC and returns the unit to baseline control. Possible Cause A fault was detected in the execution of the FDIA algorithm. Solution Allow at least five minutes for the alarm to clear. To re-activate MBC, select the MBC RESET button on the Sensor Data (or CDP Data) HMI screen. Alternatively, you may also unload out of Mode 6, then immediately return to Mode 6.

First Failed Gas Manifold DP Sensor Description One of the gas manifold pressure sensors has failed. A second failure in the same sensor group (PM1, PM2, or PM3) will result in the disabling of MBC and a return to baseline control. Possible Cause A single gas manifold pressure sensor failure (PM1, PM2, or PM3) has been detected. Solution Make note of where the sensor failure has occurred (PM1, PM2, or PM3) by observing which differential alarm is active (L30GNx_FLT). During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of those TMR sensors and all associated wiring. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

FPGN1 TMR Differential Limit Exceeded Description A disagreement exists between the TMR PM1 manifold pressure transducers. This may indicate a calibration drift or a failure of a sensor. Inaccurate sensor readings may introduce error in the unit emissions and dynamics control. Possible Cause The TMR PM1 manifold pressure transducer differential limit was exceeded. Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the PM1 manifold transducers and all associated wiring. Recalibrate, repair or replace hardware as needed.

FPGN2 TMR Differential Limit Exceeded Description A disagreement exists between the TMR PM2 manifold pressure transducers. This may indicate a calibration drift or a failure of a sensor. Inaccurate sensor readings may introduce error in the unit emissions and dynamics control. Possible Cause The TMR PM2 manifold pressure transducer differential limit was exceeded. Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the PM2 manifold transducers and all associated wiring. Recalibrate, repair or replace hardware as needed.

FPGN3 TMR Differential Limit Exceeded Description A disagreement exists between the TMR PM3 manifold pressure transducers. This may indicate a calibration drift or a failure of a sensor. Inaccurate sensor readings may introduce error in the unit emissions and dynamics control. Possible Cause The TMR PM3 manifold pressure transducer differential limit was exceeded. Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the PM3 manifold transducers and all associated wiring. Recalibrate, repair or replace hardware as needed.

Load Runback - Combustion Dynamics High Description The CDM system has detected high combustion dynamics. This alarm results in an automatic load runback. Possible Cause Either the Peak 1 or Peak 2 dynamics have exceeded the threshold. Solution View the Combustion HMI screen to determine if any CDM system faults are present. If faults exist, use the displayed alarms (along with the recommended actions from this document) to attempt to clear the fault. Solution Note that the control has taken the necessary action to protect the machine from an undesirable mode of operation. Enter a PAC case to alert product service. Solution If an immediate reloading of the unit is required, monitor the dynamics closely using the Combustion HMI screen.

TTXM Sensor - In Range Failure Description The exhaust temperature thermocouple (TTXM) average has drifted or shifted from its true measurement. While this alarm is active, MBC will operate in a more conservative Fail Degraded state, using a virtual value for TTXM. Possible Cause FDIA has detected that the TTXM average has drifted or shifted (in-range) from its true measurement. Solution Perform a visual inspection of the sensor terminations in the control cabinet or junction box (if possible, identify the failed thermocouples from the HMI). Solution During the next unit shutdown, inspect the condition of the exhaust thermocouples and all associated wiring. Repair or replace hardware as needed.

VAMB Trouble Description A problem has been detected with one or more VAMB/PAMC boards. Possible Cause At least one VAMB/PAMC is unavailable (board diagnostic shows unhealthy) Solution If a VAMB/PAMC has failed (check board diagnostics), follow the appropriate procedures to replace the board. Download the board configuration and, if required, the firmware. Select the CDM RESET button from the Combustion HMI screen. Possible Cause The VAMBs/PAMCs have differing configurations. Temporary DLN tuning settings may result in this alarm. Solution Verify that the VAMB/PAMC configurations are equal, and resolve any mismatches.

GEH-6408F Trend Recorder

Chapter 1 Overview

Introduction This document applies to various controllers or drives; therefore, the contents of the dialog boxes can vary according to your product.

This chapter describes the Trend Recorder, which monitors and graphs signal values from controllers or drives and graphs data collection analysis (.dca) files. Data can also be saved and exported for other applications, such as spreadsheets.

Data Collection The Trend Recorder uses three methods to collect data: • Real-time • Block-collected • Reading .dca files

Real-time The minimum interval between samples is 32 ms.

Real-time data is collected by the toolbox. Real-time mode is for low-to-medium data collection rates. Signals can be trended from controllers, drives, and Data Historian devices. With this method, both internal signals in the device and any external signal on a drive local area network (DLAN+) that the device is attached to can be trended. All the signals are sampled at the same time by a task running in the device. The sample set is then transmitted over the network to the toolbox. You can set the sampling rate when you are configuring the trend. Real-time trending of internal data from a controller requires that the controller file be loaded in the toolbox while the trend is being set up. DLAN+ signals can be added to the trend without having the device file open in the toolbox. However, the toolbox must have access to the System Database (SDB). Once the trend is set up, data can be collected and displayed from a controller without the controller being loaded in toolbox.

It is not necessary to have the device file loaded while replaying previously collected data.

Only internal signals can be trended from an AcDcEx. Signals are sampled one at a time, sequentially. The sample interval between signals is an average 22 ms. The interval between samples of the same signal is the number of signals multiplied by the interval between samples. When real-time trending signals from a drive, you must have the device file open in the toolbox while the trend is set up and also when data is collected.

GEH-6408F Toolbox Trend Recorder

Chapter 1 Overview • 1-1

Real-time trending is also possible for any global signal from any network connected to a Data Historian by using the Live Data Server service installed with the Data Historian product. The toolbox must have access to the SDB to get signal information, and the Data Historian device must be posted to the SDB as a device connected to one or more networks. The Live Data Server can provide signal data from DLAN+, EGD, CSF, and TCnet networks.

Signal Sampling for Real-time Drive Trending Value |22 ms|

|

3 * 22 ms

|

Time Axis

When trending from an Innovation Series drive, signal values are collected in a group of four at a time, at an average rate of 20 ms per group. The sampling strategy is similar to the AcDcEx drive; however, instead of getting only one signal value at a time, the Trend Recorder reads up to four signals simultaneously. This greatly improves the effective sampling rate over that of the AcDcEx drive. Data is collected from the AcDcEx drive one signal value at a time. The average sample interval between signals is about 50 ms.

Block Collection Refer to Chapter3, the section, Block Collected Trends.

Block collection is available in controllers and in the Innovation Series drive using the Capture Buffer block and in other drives using the Circular List block. The data is uploaded to the toolbox when the collection is completed. Block-collected mode is for high-speed trending. The only limit on collection rate is the execution rate of the collector block.

It is not necessary to have the configuration file loaded while replaying previously uploaded data.

Block-collected trending requires that the configuration file, which contains the collector block, be loaded in the toolbox while the trend is set up and also when data is uploaded from the block. Note Refer to the configuration chapter of the specific GE Control System Solutions document for editing blocks.

.dca Files The .dca file is a common data storage format used by many applications. It is primarily used to store data collected by the Data Historian product. The Trend Recorder can read these files in two ways:

1-2 • Chapter 1 Overview



Individually, where you specify the name(s) of the .dca files to load into the Trend Recorder.



As part of a Data Historian Collected Trend, where you specify signals from a particular Data Historian device and/or Data Historian collection. The Trend Recorder determines the name(s) and location(s) of the necessary .dca files. GEH-6408F Toolbox Trend Recorder

This section provides instructions for using the toolbox to configure a Trend Recorder. There are four types of trend configurations: •

Real time



Block collected



Data Historian collected



.dca files

Real-Time Trends Setting up a real-time trend includes: • Selecting the signals to be trended • Setting the scaling for both time and vertical axes • Setting the record mode and sampling rate

GEH-6408F Toolbox Trend Recorder

Chapter 3 Trend Types • 3-1

Configure the Real-Time Trend ¾ To set up the real-time trend Or click

From the Edit menu, select Configure. The Trend Recorder Configuration dialog box displays.

.

Real-Time Trend Configuration Select Real Time to specify a live trend from the drive, controller, or Live Data Server. Continuous mode collects data until recording stops. If the trace buffers fill up, the oldest oneeighth of the data in the buffer is deleted. Triggered mode captures data based on a specific event. In this mode, the Trend Recorder watches the value of a designated trigger Boolean signal. Specify if the trigger is based on this signal being True or on a value. A time interval can also be entered to collect data: Pre-Trigger and Post-Trigger.

Save Mode specifies whether to save only the setup for the trend or save the setup and all the data collected. Setup Only saves all the signals, their scanning, the sample interval, axis ranges, and other setup data.

Select a signal to use as the trigger, or select the trigger signal from the lower Signal View of the Trend Recorder window. Then, from the Edit menu, select Set Trigger Signal. An asterisk displays beside the signal name, indicating that it is being used as the trigger. This option is only available when trending in a Triggered mode.

Select the sampling interval while using the Trend Recorder. Drives sample at the fastest rate possible.

Time Display options include Site time which displays time using the local time of when and where the data was collected, UTC which displays time in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), and Local time which displays time adjusted to this computer's current time zone settings.

Note If the Trend Recorder is left running in triggered record mode for an extended period, multiple events can be captured.

GEH-6408F Toolbox Trend Recorder

Continuous/Triggered Recording The default size of this buffer is 2MB, which corresponds to approximately 16 minutes of data when sampling 4 signals at the fastest sampling rate (32 ms between samples).

Real-time trends can be recorded continuously or in a triggered mode through the Real-time Trend Recording Mode in the Trend Recorder Configuration dialog box, shown in the section, Configuring the Real Time Trend. Continuous recording collects data until the trace buffer is full. The trace buffer is an internal buffer used to store data while recording and displaying traces. The size of the buffer is set using the Trend Recorder Settings dialog box. When the trace buffer is filled, the Trend Recorder will continue recording, deleting the oldest values as it adds new ones to the buffer. Triggered recording collects data based on an external event. In this mode, the Trend Recorder watches a designated trigger signal. When the value of this signal satisfies the specified trigger condition, data is collected. The trigger signal must be a Boolean signal, and the Trend Recorder can be configured to trigger on the signal being True or on a change of value. Data is collected for a specified time interval before and after the trigger condition occurs. Once the data is collected, the Trend Recorder resumes watching the trigger signal for the next event. Each time data is collected, it is saved as a separate event within the trend file. Tip ª Refer to Chapter 5 for further information on events. ¾ To set the size of the Trend Recorder Buffer

Increasing the value of this field also increases the amount of memory needed to run the toolbox.

Add Signals Using Drag-and-Drop ¾ To add a signal The drag-and-drop feature allows you to trend automatically named signals from Innovation Series controllers and drives.

1.

From the Block Area in the Summary View (or Detached Summary View), click a pin or a signal name in a block diagram.

2.

Drag the signal (using the mouse) to the top view of the Trend Window and drop (release the mouse button). The Trend Recorder Channel Configuration dialog box displays.

When a signal is added to the Trend Recorder from a controller, the toolbox checks to see if the signal is an internal signal or an external DLAN+ signal. If it is an internal signal, token (address) information should exist in the device for the signal. This information is used to trend the signal. If the signal is an external (DLAN+) signal, the toolbox attempts to find the signal in the SDB. If it finds the signal, it determines if the signal is available on the DLAN+ that the device is attached to. Then, the signal can be trended. Note When a signal cannot be added or trending cannot be performed, an appropriate error message displays. Follow the instructions from the message box to correct the situation. Once the signal is added to the trend, the range (upper and lower limits of Y-axis) and other properties related to the signal can be set in several ways (see the next section, Editing Properties).

Edit Properties ¾ To set the signal range and other properties Or click the right-mouse button on the signal in the Lower Signal View and select Properties.

1.

From the Lower Signal View, click the desired signal.

2.

From the Edit menu, select Edit Selected Signal. Or, double-click the desired signal from the Lower Signal View. The Trend Recorder Channel Configuration dialog box displays. Allows you to change the color, line style, and line thickness of the pen used to outline the trace for the signal. A trace is a visible indication of the path of a signal.

Sets the upper and lower limits of the Y-axis labels for the signal(s).

Click to display the Signal Scaling dialog box to provide scaling for either an internal signal in a drive or an external DLAN+ signal in a controller. (See the next dialog box, Signal Scaling.)

Note If the line width is greater than one, only a Solid Style is available.

GEH-6408F Toolbox Trend Recorder

Chapter 3 Trend Types • 3-5

Signal Scaling

If the signals being trended are internal signals (AcDcEx), the values defined allow signals to use engineering units instead of raw (count) values. If they are external signals (controller), these fields are grayed-out and the scaling is defined in the database, and the dialog serves a display-only purpose.

X-Y Plots The Trend Recorder can convert plots of data that have been recorded in real time and re-plot the data where one (or more) of the variables in the trended set is designated as the X-axis. X-Y plots are normally created using the data between the replay cursors. There are two modes of X-Y plots:

The value either increases or decrease..



Between Cursor mode, which is the normal mode, plots the values that are between the two cursors against the designated X-axis. This mode of X-Y plots is available for all types of trends.



At Left Cursor mode is available only for Data Historian collected trends. In this mode, the X-Y plot is generated using the entire data set in the individual .dca data file(s) that contain the sample time currently at the left cursor. This would typically be used to do an X-Y plot of all the data for an individual unit of a batch manufacturing operation, where data for each unit in the batch is collected in its own .dca file.

Power Spectrum The Trend Recorder can perform a spectral analysis on plots of real-time data and display the power spectrum of the recorded data. The Trend Recorder uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the data from the time domain to the frequency domain. Power spectrum plots may be obtained from any trend but are most reliable with data obtained using a block-collected trend. Power spectra of data collected using real-time trending, especially of data coming across networks, should be regarded as unreliable. To create a Power Spectrum plot 1.

Obtain a plot of data using any of the types of collecting data. Best results will be obtained when data is collected using block-collected trends with the capture block configured to collect a number of samples that is a power of 2 (such as 512, 1024, 2048). The more samples collected, the better the resolution of the power spectrum.

2.

From the View menu, select Power Spectrum. The FFT Options dialog box displays.

FFT Options Select the window function to use with the data. (Refer to the note below.) Select how many additional powers of 2 the data is padded with 0 values. The Fast Fourier Transform algorithm requires a data set where the number of samples is a power of 2. Increasing the padding beyond the nearest power of 2 increases the apparent resolution of the power spectrum.

Check for the power spectra analysis to be performed on the data between the two cursors, instead of on the entire set of data contained in the current event being trended. Check to remove any DC component of the power spectrum that could distort the appearance of the spectrum near 0 Hz.

Note A variety of windowing functions (such as Hanning, Hamming, Bartlet, Welch, and others) are available to minimize phenomena associated with the discrete time-window nature of the collected data. Refer to other signal processing theory textbooks for explanations of the theory of operation of Fast Fourier Transforms, such as Introduction to Communication Systems, Ferrel G. Stremler; Electrical Noise, W. R. Bennett; Circuits and Systems: A Modern Approach, A. Papoulis.

1 Overview The EX2100e control is GE’s fourth generation digital excitation control system. There are over 4,000 first, second, and third generation GE digital excitation controls operating in 60 countries throughout the world.

Refer to GEI-100784, EX2100e Excitation Control 35 A and 120 A Regulator Systems Application Guide.

The EX2100e Excitation Control is GE’s latest state-of-the-art control for both new and retrofit steam, gas, and hydro generators. The control hardware and software design is closely coordinated between GE’s system and controls engineering to ensure delivery of a true system solution. Integration between the EX2100e control, Mark* VIe control, Mark VI Integrated Control System (ICS), LS2100e Static Starter, and human-machine interface (HMI) is seamless. For stand-alone retrofit applications, integration with customer distributed control systems (DCS) through ModBus® Ethernet is supported.

The EX2100e control system is available in several configurations to provide flexibility for full static and regulator control. The Thyristor silicon-controller rectifier (SCR)-based systems use cells sized at 42, 53, 77, and 100 mm to economically meet field current requirements in static applications. The pulse-width modulated (PWM) systems use Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) to provide up to 35 A or 120 A outputs for Regulator system applications. These systems can support the following applications: •

Static, potential source to 8000 A



Static, compound source

2.2

Negative forcing provides fast response for load rejection and de-excitation.

Power Conversion Module (Thyristor SCR)

For EX2100e Static exciter control systems, the 3-phase, full-wave, inverting thyristor (SCR) is the standard Power Conversion Module (PCM). The inverting bridge can provide both positive and negative forcing voltage for optimum performance. Each rectifier bridge includes thyristor protection circuitry, such as snubbers, filters, and fuses. The thyristor bridge module is forced-air cooled. For most applications, redundant cooling modules that are normally energized during operation are used. A thermistor monitors the PCM temperature. A set of alarm and trip contacts trigger an alarm at a high temperature level, and a trip at a higher temperature level. Depending on the application, the PCM may include protective components for the SCRs. A conduction sensing circuit, in coordination with the controller software, monitors each SCR bridge for blown fuses, missing gate pulses, or open/shorted SCRs. Reactors are located in the ac legs that are feeding the SCRs. The snubbers are a resistor/capacitor (RC) circuit from the anode to the cathode of each SCR. The cell snubbers, line-to-line filters, and line reactors together perform the following functions to maintain proper operation of the SCRs: •

Limit the rate of change of current through the SCRs and provide a current dump to aid in starting conduction



Limit the rate of change in voltage across each cell



Limit the reverse voltage that occurs across the cell during cell commutation

2.3

M1 and M2 are identical.

Controller Redundancy

In the warm backup (WBU) and multi-bridge configurations, the EX2100e control features redundant control with triple modular redundancy (TMR) for voted I/O and protection, including the field ground detector (FGD) function. The control includes Master One (M1), Master Two (M2), and Controller (C) modules. M1 and M2 are independent controls, each with automatic and manual regulator functions. Either M1 or M2 can control the bridge firing, as determined by the operator, or a forced transfer by C. In the WBU configuration, M1 controls bridge #1, and M2 controls bridge #2. In the multi-bridge configuration, the Master in control fires all bridges. The M1 and M2 control modules each contain a UCSB controller for processing the application software. The C controller is responsible for M1/M2 transfer and provides the third element of TMR I/O and protection. In the redundant control, simplex bridge configuration, M1, M2, and C, are provided with a single bridge. In the simplex control configuration, only the M1 control and a single bridge are provided, and only a simplex FGD is available.

Communication between Redundant Controllers

2.3.1

Multi-bridge and Power Bridge Redundancy

The EX2100e control multi-bridge option is available for large static exciters. This option uses redundant controls (M1, M2, and C) with up to four full-wave SCR bridges that share common ac input and dc output circuits. The multi-bridge configuration is applicable to 8,000 A dc, 50/60 Hz, and may be configured as follows: N+0, N = 2, 3 N+1, N = 2, 3 N+2, N = 1, 2

A power bridge online maintenance feature that uses a 5-pole disconnect switch is available.

12

GEI-100783D

All power bridges receive gating commands from the active control (M1 or M2), and support the full field voltage and current needs of the generator field. The operator has full control to select which of the redundant controls are active or inactive. Bi-directional bumpless transfer between active and inactive controls is standard. In the N+1 and N+2 configurations, sophisticated monitoring and protection circuits detect a failure or misoperation of any single power bridge, and exciter operation continues while the faulty bridge is automatically shut down.

2.3.2

Warm Backup and Power Bridge Redundancy

The EX2100e control WBU option is available for small to medium sized static exciters, which require power bridge redundancy, and the total power needs of the generator field can be supported within one PCM. This option uses redundant controls (M1, M2, and C) with two full-wave SCR bridges that share common ac input and dc output circuits. The WBU configuration is a cost-effective way to obtain N+1 bridge redundancy when N = 1.

The active power bridge receives the gating commands from the active control (M1 or M2) and supports the full field voltage and current needs of the generator field while the backup power bridge’s gating circuit is inhibited. The operator has full control to select which of the redundant power bridges is active or inactive. Bi-directional bumpless transfer between active and inactive bridges is standard. Sophisticated monitoring and protection circuits detect a failure or misoperation of the active power bridge, delays transfer (if needed to clear and SCR leg fuses), and activates the backup power bridge without operator intervention.

Typical 77 mm or 53 mm WBU Cabinet Lineup

2.3.3

Redundant Control and Simplex Bridge

The EX2100e redundant control, simplex bridge option is available for economical redundancy. This option uses redundant controls (M1, M2, and C) with a single full-wave SCR bridge. This system provides twice the mean time between forced outage (MTBFO) afforded by a simplex control with simplex bridge. Bi-directional bumpless transfer between active and backup controls is standard.

Power for the contacts is supplied from the M1 and M2 power supplies or only the M1 (simplex). The EAUX interfaces with the EXAM to support the field ground detector functionality. The EXAM senses the voltage across the ground resistor and sends the signal to the EAUX through a nine-conductor cable. The EAUX interfaces with the M1, M2, and C CSLA control boards through HSLA boards. The EAUX is available in two groups (versions). Both groups accept the EAUD daughterboard, which converts the 41DC interface from a standard 125 V dc coil driver mode to a high-speed contactor interface used in some EX2100e control systems.

2.6.4 Refer to GEI-100775, EX2100e Excitation Control CT Expansion (ECTX) Board Instruction Guide.

The ECTX board contains a single isolation current transformer (CT) for generator current measurements. It provides an optional third CT interface between a customer generator CT and the EX2100e static excitation control. The ECTX mounts as a daughterboard on the ESYS module, which provides interfaces to two customer CTs as a standard configuration that meets many customer applications. If the customer installation uses a full set of three CTs, the ECTX can be supplied to provide the EX2100e interface to all three CTs.

2.6.5 Refer to GEI-100770, EX2100e Excitation Control DC Fanned Feedback (EDFF) Board Instruction Guide.

The EDFF board measures bridge dc voltage and current feedback.

EDFF Board

The EDFF board measures field current and voltage at the SCR bridge and interfaces to the EX2100e Excitation Control Auxiliary Interface (EAUX) over a high-speed fiber-optic link. The fiber-optic link provides voltage isolation between the two boards, as well as high-noise immunity. Field current is measured using a shunt in the dc field circuit. The field voltage feedback circuit provides eight selector settings to scale the bridge voltage, depending on the bridge application. The EDFF scales and converts the field current and voltage at the exciter or regulator output into frequency feedback signals. It consists of voltage-to-frequency (V-F) converter circuits: one for field current feedback and one for field voltage feedback, for up to three redundant control sections M1, M2, and C. The EDFF is available in three groups: H1 for TMR, H2 for dual, and H3 for simplex systems, respectively.

2.6.6 Refer to GEI-100774, EX2100e Excitation Control Bridge AC Feedback (EBAC) Board Instruction Guide.

The EXAM provides attenuation between the EX2100e control and the EAUX. It is mounted on a bracket with the EDFF board in the auxiliary cabinet and contains a sense resistor that is connected to a resistor network across the field. The EXAM applies the low frequency ±50 V square-wave signal that is supplied from the EAUX to one end of the sense resistor. The resulting current, due to a field ground, generates a voltage across the resistor that is sent back to the EAUX for the Field Ground Detection (FGD) function.

2.7.3 Refer to GEI-100466, De-excitation Control (EDEX) Board Instruction Guide.

EXAM

EDEX Board

The EDEX is the main board in the de-excitation module. It is also used in the crowbar module. The EDEX provides de-excitation SCR firing, conduction sense feedback of the de-excitation module, and voltage retention to ensure operation in the event of a power failure. The EAUX opens the 41DC contactor (41A/41B) or breaker, and transfers de-excitation signals from the auxiliary contacts to SCR firing circuits on the EDEX. Note The EDEX is usually controlled by the EAUX. However, it can self-initiate de-excitation if the control fails.

Power Supply Modules

The EX2100e control power is supplied by the following: •

IS200EDIS EX2100e Power Distribution (EDIS) module



125-28 V dc power supply module

2.8.1

EDIS Module

The EDIS module interfaces customer ac and dc control power supplies to the control system hardware. The EDIS accepts a 125 V dc source from the station battery, and one or two 115 or 220 V ac 50/60 Hz supplies, that are connected through a pluggable screw terminal board. The ac is rectified and filtered in ac-to-dc (DACA) modules. The resulting 125 V dc is diode-coupled with the other dc sources to create a dc bus that feeds the controllers, I/O boards and modules, and bridge interface boards. Fused outputs from the EDIS supply power to the EBRG, EAUX, and 125 – 28 V dc power supplies. The EDIS provides transient protection for the incoming supplies and overcurrent protection, isolating switches, and power on indication for the outputs. The EDIS supports either simplex or redundant outputs for auxiliary functions, such as VersaMax or Mark VIe control I/O modules and Ethernet switches, and provides a redundant 28 V dc power supply for the local operator interface.

2.8.2

125 – 28 V DC Power Supply Module

The 125 – 28 V dc power supply module converts 125 V dc from the EDIS into the 28 V dc voltage required for the control system. For redundant control applications, there are three independent power supplies that supply power to each of the controllers (M1, M2, and C). These power supplies are located in the power supply module behind the EDIS. The module supplies 28 V dc to the controller. Power is also supplied to other modules, as follows:

22

GEI-100783D



28 V dc to the EDEX and Crowbar module



28 V dc to the EDFF



28 V dc to the touchscreen

2.8.3

DACA Module

The DACA (or DACB) module is an ac-to-dc converter that is powered by a 115 or 220 V ac source and produces 125 V dc. The DACA and battery source provide a redundant 125 V dc supply for the EDIS. Two DACAs may be connected to the EDIS if required for greater power supply reliability.

2.9

Devices and Modules

The following additional devices and modules are available in the EX2100e Thyristor system: •

DC and AC Isolation devices



Shaft Voltage Suppressor (SVS)



Crowbar module



Field Flashing module



Control Operator Interface (COI) (Optional)



Touchscreen (Optional)

2.9.1

DC Isolation Device

For most applications, a field interrupting dc contactor in the rectifier bridge dc positive output is used to connect the exciter to the generator field leads. The dc contactor and the de-excitation module together form the internal field breaker function used to remove stored energy in the generator field during trip events. Two optional dc contactors can be provided to interrupt both the positive and negative field leads. The dc field breakers use a de-excitation module in place of the shorting contactor as a more cost effective option.

For some applications, a dc field breaker is used. The dc field breakers interrupt the output of the exciter and use a shorting contact to de-excite the generator field through a discharge resistor. In the multi-bridge configuration, a dc field contactor is the standard offering, which may be 1-pole or 2-pole. This breaker is located within the dc exit section of the multi-bridge lineup, which eliminates the need for a separate dc field breaker cubicle.

2.9.2

AC Isolation Device

An internal manual ac disconnect switch is available for small to medium size systems, below 600 V ac. This switch is a disconnect device between the secondary of the PPT and the power bridge in the static exciter. In most cases, it is a molded case, 3-phase, manually operated, panel-mounted switch that permits the customer to close and open the ac input supply. Applications where an external ac breaker is required are also supported.

An optional ac breaker may be supplied for systems smaller than 2,000 A. This breaker replaces the ac disconnect device between the secondary of the PPT and the static exciter. It is a molded-case, magnetic trip breaker. The ac disconnect and the ac breaker are not necessary in the EX2100e Thyristor system for proper operation. Inclusion of these devices is based on customer requirements.

2.9.3 Brushless applications and some static exciters do not require the SVS.

Shaft Voltage Suppressor

Excitation systems that produce a dc voltage from an ac supply through a solid-state rectification process cause ripple and spike voltages at the exciter output. Due to their rapid increase and decay times, these voltages are capacitively coupled from the field winding to the rotor body. This creates a voltage on the shaft relative to ground that, if not effectively controlled, may damage both journals and bearings. The Shaft Voltage Suppressor (SVS) is a filter that conducts the high-frequency components of the induced voltages to ground and limits shaft voltage caused by thyristor commutation to less than 5 to 7 V zero to pk.

2.9.4 A pole slip event is when the generator loses synchronism with the power grid.

Crowbar Module

A crowbar circuit is applied for most hydro applications (salient pole generators) and some steam or gas applications (wound rotor generators). During a pole slip event, high voltages can be induced from the generator stator back on the generator field. This high voltage can damage the excitation system and/or the generator field if the induced voltage rises above destructive levels. The crowbar module safely limits the induced voltage below the destructive level for the excitation system and the generator field. The same hardware that is used to implement de-excitation is used to implement the crowbar function. However, with the crowbar, the discharge thyristor is reversed. The load for the crowbar must be a resistor, and the resistor may be shared with the rapid de-excitation resistor. The functionality of the crowbar module, thyristor with snubber, and conduction sensor, are the same as for the de-excitation module. The crowbar’s thyristor is gated when the anode-to-cathode voltage of the SCR exceeds a certain value. Once the crowbar conducts, the reverse current induced by the pole slip event has a conduction path, thus limiting the voltage on the generator field and exciter output.

2.9.5 An optional ac field flashing module is also available.

Field Flashing Module

The field flashing module supplies approximately 15 - 20% of no-load field amperes (AFNL) to the generator field during the startup sequence. Field flashing from a dc power source is the standard method of flashing. Field flashing is applied for a maximum of 15 seconds. If field flashing is unsuccessful after this time period, the start sequence stops and a Fail to Flash is annunciated. The dc field flashing module is powered from either a 125 V dc or 250 V dc station battery and has a maximum rating of 375 and 100 A. The ac field flashing module accepts an ac 1-phase input that is stepped down to approximately 27 V ac through a transformer. The module is rated for a maximum of 400 A dc for 15 seconds. AC input voltage of 380, 400, 415, and 480 V is supported.

Control Operator Interface

The Control Operator Interface (COI) is an optional cabinet door-mounted remote touchscreen interface that displays and controls EX2100e signals (if remote control is needed). It connects directly to the control system through the UDH; however, it is a less-functional, more cost-effective control interface than an HMI. The COI configuration uses a hard disk drive, Windows®-based touchscreen interface, with either a 254, 305, or 381 mm (10, 12, or 15 in) liquid crystal display (LCD) touchscreen. The screen displays operation status, alarms, and COI configuration.

2.9.7 The touchscreen is shipped pre-configured from the factory.

Touchscreen

The optional touchscreen is mounted on the control cabinet door and provides full exciter operation. The touchscreen communicates with the controller over the UDH, which is the Ethernet local area network (LAN) normally connected to UCSB connector E1. When the touchscreen’s heartbeat icon is pulsing, it is communicating with the exciter system.

The touchscreen can be disabled and is password-protected to prohibit local operation.

During start up, the touchscreen displays the IP address of the UCSB controller to which it is connected. This must match the IP address of the M1 controller of the exciter system.

Refer to GEH-6781, EX2100e Excitation Control User Guide.

Refer to GEI-100787, EX2100e Excitation and LS2100e Static Starter Control Systems Touchscreen Local Operator Interface Instruction Guide.

Attention The touchscreen includes bar graph and variable displays to indicate system conditions, such as generator megawatt (MW) and mega volt-amperes reactives (MVARs), field current and voltage, and regulator balance (null balance). Diagnostic displays, such as alarm history, exciter parameters, variables and I/O values, application data, and I/O interface, provide system information for maintenance and troubleshooting.

3 Control Software The EX2100e control software supports high performance and helps the customer and field engineers understand, install, commission, tune, and maintain the excitation control system. The exciter software is configured and loaded from the ToolboxST application and resides in the controllers. The software is represented on the ToolboxST Component Editor screen by control blocks that are linked together to display the signal flow. The generator voltages and currents from the PTs and CTs are the source of the control signals needed by the automatic (generator terminal voltage) regulator, most limiters, and protection functions. They are wired to the ESYS, which acts as a signal conditioner to isolate and scale the signals. The conditioned signals are fed to the controller. The system simultaneously samples the ac waveform at high speed and uses advanced mathematical algorithms to digitally generate the needed variables. The output of the software transducer system includes the following: •

Generator voltage



Generator active current (average in phase with watts)



Generator reactive current (average in phase with reactive power, VARs)



Generator frequency (current)



Slip (signal representing the change in the rotor speed)

The transducer system uses the output to calculate the following:

The second part of this option is a review with the engineer. The customer can review all paperwork relevant to the engineering and testing of the requisition. This would include the elementary, I/O list, alarm list, layouts, outlines, test sign-off sheets, and such. This documentation provides the basis for certification that the customer's hardware and software went through the proper engineering, verification, and test processes. Customers should advise GE eight weeks prior to shipment of their intent to visit the factory to inspect his equipment. GE will inform the customer two weeks prior to the inspection date so that the customer can make travel arrangements.

5.2.2

Option B

An additional cost is associated with this customer witness test option.

This customer witness option consists of two demonstrations: •

Hardware Demonstration: This is an audit of the routine factory tests previously performed. The duration of this witness demonstration is typically two to four hours.

Refer to the section, Routine Factory Tests.



Software Demonstration: The customer's application software is downloaded to a simulator panel at a convenient workstation area (not the customer's equipment) to verify its integrity, functionality, and conformance to the specifications. The simulator panel uses the same printed wiring boards and software that are used in the customer’s equipment to model the specific application, or a typical generator and its field. The engineer uses the simulation to check the integrity of the system by exercising special functions. The duration of this witness demonstration is approximately four hours. The software demonstration simulates a normal startup and control sequence, which includes: − − − −

Emulating the necessary contactor(s) and relays Checking feedback echoes for closing verifications Activating regulators in both the manual and automatic modes Displaying any faults

If selected, this option will be included as part of the initial purchase order. If a customer decides to purchase this option after the initial order drawing release, an amendment to the PO will be required. If this option was not initially purchased, notification of a change order is required at least eight weeks prior to shipment of the equipment. GE will inform the customer two weeks prior to the test date so that the customer can make travel arrangements.

Glossary of Terms Auto Regulator Reference (AUTO REF) generates the auto control (AC) setpoint variable for the automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Operator commands, (raise and lower inputs) come from direct inputs or over a data link from an HMI operator station, or from a plant DCS or remote dispatch system. Note The AUTO REF and MANUAL REF blocks can be configured with upper and lower limits, presets, and up/down ramp times.

Automatic and Manual Reference Follower (Tracking) are software-implemented ramp functions that adjust the non-active regulator output to automatically track the active regulator. That is, when the auto regulator is controlling the generator, the manual regulator tracks, and when the manual regulator is controlling the generator, the auto regulator tracks. This provides for smooth transition when a transfer occurs from one regulator to the other. Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) maintains the generator terminal voltage constant over changes in load and operating conditions. The error value (average generator voltage minus the composite reference output from the EXASP block) is the input to a proportional plus integral (PI) regulator with integrator windup protection. In most applications, AVR control output directly controls the firing command generator, which controls the gating of the power bridge SCRs when the AVR is enabled. Note On applications that require an inner loop regulator, such as compound (voltage and current sourced) exciters and some high ceiling exciters, the manual regulator uses the control output from the AVR as a setpoint input.

DCS Interface (ModBus RTU) slave data link is supported to interface with customer DCS systems. This link uses TCP/IP support over Ethernet 10/100baseT hardware. Both commands and data can be supported. Exciter AVR Setpoint (EXASP) combines a number of functions to produce the reference input to the AVR and the variables to support regulator tracking. The reference output from this block is a summation of:

GEI-100783D



Stabilizing signal from the PSS block



Output of the AVR reference block



Limiter signal from the underexcitation limiter (UEL) block



Output from the reactive current compensation/active reactive current compensation (RCC/ARCC) block



Combination of frequency and generator voltage to generate the V/Hz limiter signal



External test signal to support injection of white noise and step test signals

Exciter Phase Unbalance (EUT) monitors the secondary voltage from the 3-phase input PPT. If a voltage phase unbalance condition exists, an alarm is generated, and a trip signal is initiated after a time delay. Note EUT is not available in the EX2100e control Regulator system.

Generator Field Temperature Calculation measures the resistance by dividing the field voltage by the field current. From the known field resistance at 25°C (77 °F) and the linear resistance temperature change in copper, the algorithm calculates operating temperature. An adjustable high temperature alarm output contact is also included. Generator Overvoltage Trip (59G) monitors the generator armature voltage and initiates a trip signal upon detecting an unacceptably high voltage. Generator Simulator (GEN SIM) is a detailed generator model that is included as part of the excitation control system software. It can be configured to closely match the operation of the real generator. It can also be used for operator training, and can support the checkout of regulators, limiters, and protection functions while the unit is shut down. Hydrogen Pressure/Temperature Limiter compensates the configuration parameters of key generator limiters and protection functions based on generator cooling. For hydrogen-cooled generators, the correct parameter is the internal hydrogen pressure, and for air-cooled generators, it is air temperature. In either case, the exciter uses a 4-20 mA input to capture the parameter. The three limiters affected by pressure/temperature compensation are: •

Underexcitation limiter (UEL)



Overexcitation limiter (OEL)



Stator current limiter

Note The intent of this function is to correlate limiter action to the valid generator capability curves.

Entering the parameters of three generator capability curves configures compensation. Sophisticated software in the exciter extrapolates this data into an infinite number of curves needed to translate the present operation condition of the generator into the correct limiter configuration parameters. Loss of Excitation Protection (40) detects a loss of excitation on synchronous machines. It can provide the GE-recommended settings, which require two separate relay characteristics. The function is performed within software code and can accommodate offset settings and two diameter settings. The recommended offset settings are both equal to one-half the machine transient reactance (X'd/2). The small diameter setting is equal to 1.0 per unit on the machine base, and the large diameter setting is equal to the machine synchronous reactance (Xd). The small diameter setting has no time delay and the large diameter setting has an adjustable time delay.

Each of the two relay’s characteristics (offset, diameter, time delay) are independently adjustable and can be used to initiate a TRIP signal. GE recommends the use of two relay characteristics since there is some concern about the performance of the voltage regulator when it is operating on the under-excited limit. The regulator may undershoot while trying to maintain the limit and cause the apparent impedance to momentarily enter the relay characteristic. If only one relay characteristic is used (small diameter), there may be undesired operation as a result of any regulator undershoot. Using the large diameter setting with time delay helps to avoid this problem with undershoot. Manual Regulator (FVR) controls the generator field voltage or current, letting the generator output voltage. The manual regulator, like the AVR, uses a PPI regulator with integrator windup protection and its control output directly controls the firing command generator that controls the gating of the power bridge SCRs when enabled. The Manual Regulator has two inputs: •

Setpoint or reference for most applications, the manual regulator setpoint or reference input only comes from the MANUAL REF block and is only in control of the power bridge when selected by the operator or after a control transfer. For applications that require an inner loop regulator to be used with the AVR, when the AVR is in control of the generator, the setpoint input comes from the AVR control output.



Generator field feedback (indicates the type of manual regulator) Field Voltage Regulator (FVR) is the typical manual regulator supplied on most applications and uses the generator field voltage as the feedback input. While FVRs do permit the current to vary as a function of the field resistance, GE has selected the FVR as its standard manual regulator to make the manual regulator completely independent from the over excitation limiter.

Manual Regulator (FCR) is a special application of the manual regulator and uses the generator field current as the feedback input. While it does regulate constant field current over varying field temperature, GE has not selected the FCR as its standard manual regulator because it inhibits the signal independence from the over excitation limiter. Manual Regulator Reference (MANUAL REF) generates the manual setpoint variable for the manual voltage regulator (MVR). Operator commands, (raise and lower inputs) come in from direct inputs or over a data link from an HMI operator station or from a plant DCS or remote dispatch system. Manual Restrictive Limiter limits the under-excited operation of the EX2100e while the manual regulator is selected (FVR or FCR). It also does not allow the manual regulator to track the automatic regulator when the unit is operating below the field voltage limit called for by the manual restrictive limiter. Offline Overexcitation Protection (OLOT) serves as backup to the overexcitation limiter when the generator is offline. If the generator field current exceeds 120% of no-load field current while operating offline (in either the automatic or manual regulator mode) and the limiter cannot correct an overexcitation condition, this function will initiate a trip signal after a time delay.

Overexcitation Limiter (OEL) protects the generator field from damage by events that require abnormally high field currents. These high currents, over an extended time, can overheat the field and cause damage. Generator fields are designed to ANSI standard C50.13, which specifies the over voltage as a function of time that the field is designed to follow. This standard uses curves to describe the field overheating as a function of time and current. The OEL design approximates the curve of field voltage versus time. The OEL interfaces directly with the power bridge firing command generator, therefore it can protect the generator field from damage in either automatic or manual regulator mode. The function is not active under normal operation conditions. This allows the exciter to respond to any generator fault condition without current limit for a time period of about one second. After this, a two stage current limiter is activated. The first stage normally limits the current to a high value. The thermal load into the field is integrated, using the known heating time constant of the field, until reaching the field limit. At this time, the current limiter transfers to the lower limit. When the event is over, the integrator discharges based on the cooling time constant of the field, which is slower than the heating time constant. Note The current limit values are selectable based on the operating mode of the generator. When the generator is offline, the offline limits are used, and when the generator is online, the online limits are used.

Overexcitation Protection (OET) is a backup to the over-excitation limiter and can be supported with or without the C (protection) controller. If an over-excitation condition should occur which the limiter cannot correct, then a trip signal is produced. This function approximates the curve of field voltage versus time defined in ANSI standard C50.13. Potential Transformer Fuse Failure Detection (PTFD) detects loss of PT feedback voltage to the voltage regulator. If the sensing voltage is lost or if it is single-phased, there is a transfer to the manual regulator and an alarm output is provided. If the PPT is fed from an auxiliary bus instead of the generator terminals, then a second set of PT signals must be supplied to independently monitor the generator terminal voltage. Power System Stabilizer (PSS) provides an additional input to the automatic regulator to improve power system dynamic performance. Many different quantities may be used by a PSS, such as shaft speed, frequency, synchronous machine electrical power, accelerating power, or some combination of these signals. The PSS offered in the EX2100e control is a multi-input system using a combination of synchronous machine electrical power and internal frequency (which approximates rotor speed) to arrive at a signal proportional to rotor speed. This comes from the integral of accelerating power, but with shaft torsional signals greatly attenuated. Reactive Current Compensation (RCC/Line Drop) has two modes: RCC and Line Drop. The RCC mode permits sharing reactive current between paralleled machines. Line Drop mode allows for better regulation of voltage at some point down stream from the generator terminals. Stator Current Limit (SCL) determines the AVR/VAR control. When the generator stator current exceeds the rated value, the exciter changes from AVR control to a VAR control preset. Once the stator current is less than the rated value, the exciter returns to AVR control.

Transfer to Manual Regulator upon Loss of PT detects loss of PT feedback voltage to the ac voltage regulator. If the sensing voltage is lost, the regulator forces its output to ceiling for 0.5 sec and then transfers to manual. This is distinctly different from the PTFD function, which does not force the regulator to ceiling before transferring. Underexcitation Limiter (UEL) is an auxiliary control to limit the AVR demand for underexcited reactive current. The UEL prevents reductions of the generator field excitation to a level where the small-signal (steady state) stability limit or the stator core end-region heating limit is exceeded. Performance is specified by identifying the region of the limiter action on the generator capability curve. Unit Data Highway Interface (UDH) connects the exciter with the turbine control system, HMI or HMI viewer/data server, and GE controls. The UDH is based on EGD protocol. The UDH provides a digital window into the exciter where variables can be monitored and controlled. It also supports the ToolboxST application configuration and maintenance tool for the exciter. VAR/PF Control is accomplished by slow ramping of the AVR reference setpoint. The VAR/PF is selected by operator command and the VAR/PF value is controlled using the raise/lower push-buttons. When the exciter interfaces with a Mark VIe turbine control system, this function is typically included. Volts per Hertz Limiter (V/Hz Lim) limits the generator V/Hz ratio to the programmed setting in the EX2100e. This function uses two inputs from the software transducer, average generator voltage and generator frequency (its V/Hz ratio is configurable). Typically, the generator is considered to be operating acceptably within ±5% of rated terminal voltage at rated frequency. Volts per Hertz Protection (V/Hz 24G) serves as a backup to the V/Hz limiter and can be supported with or without the C (protection) controller. The protection scheme consists of two levels of V/Hz protection. One level is set at 1.10 per unit over V/Hz with an inverse time period, and the other level is set at 1.18 per unit with a two second time period. In operation, this means: •

From 1.0 to 1.10 per unit no alarm or trip occurs



From 1.10 to, but not exceeding, 1.18 per unit an alarm is activated with trip time inversely proportional to the magnitude of the over V/Hz



At 1.18 per unit trip time is 45 sec (adjustable from 6-60 sec)



If over V/Hz exceeds 1.18 per unit, either initially or during the inverse time period, trip activation occurs in 2 sec (adjustable from 1.7 to 2.8 sec) Note Both trip and time setpoints are adjustable.

LS2100e Static Starter Control

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II) – This document contains proprietary information of GE and is intended for internal use only. It may not be used, shown, reproduced, or disclosed outside of GE without the express written consent of GE.

Chapter 1 Equipment Overview The LS2100e Static Starter control is an adjustable speed ac drive system specifically designed to start a gas turbine generator set. The static starter delivers variable frequency current to the generator stator as the turbine is accelerating to full speed. This chapter introduces the static starter control and presents a general product overview.

System Overview The LS2100e control operates the generator as a synchronous motor to accelerate the gas turbine set according to a specific speed profile, thus providing optimum starting conditions. The LS2100e control eliminates the need for separate starting hardware, such as an electric motor or diesel engine, torque converters, and associated auxiliary equipment, and opens up critical space around the turbine base. The LS2100e control contains a digital control that interfaces seamlessly with various GE Energy turbine and excitation controls including the Human-machine Interface (HMI) and Historian products. These devices communicate with each other over an Ethernet-based unit data highway (UDH) to form a fully integrated control system. The ToolboxST* application used to configure the LS2100e control is the same application used to configure the gas turbine and excitation controls. The LS2100e control power converter is available in two power ratings: 8.5 MVA and 14 MVA. Both systems are designed to provide an optimal match to the starting power requirements for both GE Energy frame 7 and frame 9 gas turbine generator sets. The system architecture supports Ethernet local area network (LAN) UDH communication with other GE Energy equipment, including the ToolboxST application, EX2100e Excitation control, Mark* VIe turbine control, and the HMI.

LS2100e Control System Overview

The LS2100e control supplies variable frequency ac power to the stator of the generator, which enables operation as a synchronous motor during the starting sequence. The static starter control also provides the field voltage reference, allowing it to control the generator field and operate as a synchronous motor. At approximately 90% speed, the LS2100e control disengages and does not function during normal operation of the generator. Generator starting results from phase-controlling the output of the Silicon-controlled Rectifier (SCR) bridges. Digital regulators in the controller generate the SCR firing signals. The controller regulates the output voltage to provide variable frequency, which results in the smooth acceleration of the generator.

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II) – This document contains proprietary information of GE and is intended for internal use only. It may not be used, shown, reproduced, or disclosed outside of GE without the express written consent of GE.

Software Overview The Universal Controller Stand-alone Version B (UCSB), a microprocessor-based controller, starts the LS2100e control code. The software consists of modules (blocks) combined to create the required system functionality. Block definitions and configuration parameters are stored in flash memory, while variables are stored in random-access memory (RAM). Use the ToolboxST application to interrogate the blocks when power is applied to the LS2100e control.

The LS2100e control uses an open architecture system with a library of existing software blocks configured from the ToolboxST application. The blocks individually perform specific functions, such as logic gates, proportional integral (PI) regulators, function generators, and signal-level detectors. The dynamically changing I/O values of each block can be observed in operation, which is valuable during startup or troubleshooting.

Summary diagnostics display with the HMI alarm screens through the UDH.

All diagnostics are time tagged with the system time obtained from the Ethernet UDH. Any computer connected to the UDH can display the diagnostics using the ToolboxST application or the operator interface.

Refer to GEH-6708, ToolboxST User Guide for LS2100e Static Starter Control for more information.

The LS2100e control selects either forced or load commutation firing modes. Protection functions include instantaneous overcurrent, bridge differential current, generator overvoltage, and source bridge undervoltage and overvoltage.

Safety Precautions

Warning

Warning

Warning

This equipment contains a potential hazard of electric shock or burn. Only personnel who are adequately trained and thoroughly familiar with the equipment and the instructions should install, operate, or maintain this equipment, or have access to the location where it is installed.

To prevent electric shock or burn while servicing the equipment, personnel must understand and follow all safety requirements for working around dangerous voltages. Obey local site lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and follow GE instructions when performing any adjustments, services, or other tasks requiring physical proximity or contact with the circuit boards, electrical components, or wiring of the static starter. Due to the large amount of energy passing through the static starter power converter, failure to properly reinstall shields or to completely latch doors and covers compromises these safeguards and places personnel at higher risk when within the environment of the static starter. Understand and follow all safety procedures and warning labels.

Shock and burn hazard boundaries for the equipment are dependent upon site specific application conditions, including isolation transformer voltage and mega volt-ampere (MVA) rating, as well as the alarm clearing time of the power sources feeding the equipment. It is the responsibility of the customer to perform an arc flash analysis of the system, understand the hazard boundaries that exist, and employ adequate safeguards to protect personnel who may be in the proximity of the equipment, whether working on it or not. These safeguards include restricted access for unqualified personnel and use of appropriate LOTO procedures and PPE for qualified personnel who access the equipment.

Warning

To prevent personal injury or death, personnel must be aware of arc flash hazards, and must maintain safe distances at all times as determined by released energy calculations. The extent of arc flash hazards is not known until the final site installation is complete; therefore GE recommends that an arc flash assessment be conducted after each installation.

The Arc Flash Protection Boundary (AFPB) for LS2100e control equipment is 3.5 m (10 ft) (based on assumed installation conditions that may exist in a typical static starter application). These calculations are based on equations published in NFPA™-70E, Electrical Safety in the Workplace (2008). It is the responsibility of the customer to perform an arc flash analysis of installation and implement appropriate safeguards.

Note When the control cabinet is attached to the power converter lineup, the control cabinet may be within the hazard boundaries of the power converter. Appropriate PPE levels to access the control cabinet may therefore be higher than might be expected based solely on hazards within the control cabinet itself.

Causes of Arc Flash Events Evaluation of the root cause of arc flash failures in exciters, static starters, and similar power conversion equipment shows that many arc flash events can be prevented with diligent installation and maintenance procedures. Causes and Preventative Practices for Arc Flash Events

Causes

Best Preventative Practices

Loose power bus, bolts, and harnesses (contributed to more than 25% of the events evaluated)



Torque all power connections.



Apply torque marks.



Periodically inspect that marks are aligned.



Verify that all connectors are snug.



Verify that all connectors are free of mechanical stress.



Verify that all tools and parts are removed after installation and maintenance.



Retrieve and remove dropped fasteners and any chips or shavings from installation.



Do not store spare parts within the cabinets.



Replace all shields and barriers after maintenance work.



Cover openings to keep out water, contaminants, and animals.



Keep cabinet doors securely closed.



Follow installation procedures carefully.



Inspect cables for protection, support, and separation.



Inspect components and assemblies for adequate mounting and voltage clearances.

Poor maintenance practice, such as keeping openings sealed and air filters clean



Follow maintenance guidelines appropriate for site conditions.

Catastrophic component failures, sometimes due to external causes such as inadequate cooling, excessive vibration, damage to insulating mica sheets or sleeves, transient overvoltage, or application beyond ratings



Monitor and mitigate external conditions that can lead to premature failures.

Digital Front-end (DFE) and Detached Control Cabinet Applications Some EX2100e excitation control and LS2100e static starter control installations may include a control cabinet that is separated from the power converter lineup. Examples include EX2100e and LS2100e DFE applications and some EX2100e and LS2100e LCI Exciter Compartment (LEC) installations, which locate the controls in a separate room of the LEC from the power converters, to isolate personnel in the controls area from the arc flash hazards of the power converter. While such an arrangement greatly reduces the risks of shock, burn, and injury from arc blast pressures, personnel should understand that hazardous voltage and energy levels are present in the vicinity, and are exposed when the control cabinet door is opened. □

Wear appropriate PPE for the equipment. For a separated EX2100e control cabinet, this is typically PPE-0. For a separated LS2100e control or pump panel, this is typically PPE-1



Field installation of harnesses for separated control cabinets can introduce hazards and failure modes if proper procedures are not followed. Failures at wire and cable connections are one of the leading causes of electrical equipment misoperation, including unnecessary trips and failure of protective functions such as the 86 lockout circuit to operate when needed. Watch out for: − − − − − −

GEH-6798C

Open circuits or loose connections Short circuits Inadvertent contact and energization of cables with unintended voltages Insulation damage from installation or abrasion over time Conductor damage such as kinks, stretching, and stray strands at terminations Voltages present on harnesses during maintenance due to remote equipment not locked out. Establishing an electrically safe state for work on the controls in some situations may also require lock-out to be performed on the power converter, and vice versa. Poor terminations and stress on connectors. If harnesses are supplied pre-terminated, ensure the terminations and connectors are not damaged during harness installation. Poor routing and protection of harnesses. Where harnesses pass through building or cabinet walls, provide adequate protection against damage and sealing to prevent propagation of contaminants during normal operation and arc blast gases during fault events. Refer to the applicable Installation and Startup manual, the section, Preventing Cable Damage for the equipment. Refer to the section, Related Documents for a document list. Failure to separate harnesses by voltage and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) levels. Refer to applicable Installation and Startup manual, the section, General Cable Specification and Routing Guidelines for the equipment.



Be sure protective and functional grounding is provided for the detached equipment, per instructions provided in the system elementary diagram. A minimum #2 AWG grounding wire must be provided from the detached control equipment to the building system ground point. The power conversion cabinets must also be bonded to this point.



Look for hazards such as those in the above subsections during inspections following installation and maintenance.

Additional Safety Reminders

Chapter 1 Equipment Overview



Always know the voltage approach and arc flash boundaries for the equipment you work on or are exposed to, and wear appropriate PPE.



PPE always includes hearing protection. Arc flash events generate high sound levels and blast pressure waves that can cause permanent hearing damage.



While PPE may provide protection from shocks and burns, it does not provide protection from injuries such as falling or being thrown by an arc blast pressure wave. To avoid such injuries, always de-energize and apply lockout for all maintenance activities in areas where arc flash hazards exist.



Equipment may be energized from multiple sources, including unintended or inadvertent sources. Never assume any conductor is safe to touch.



Electromechanical devices such as relays and contactors are not suitable lockout devices, since they can be re-energized electrically.



When equipment is installed in rooms with small volumes, consider adding room pressure relief vents that open during arc blast events to reduce the blast pressure. The exhaust from these vents must be directed away from personnel and other equipment.



Consider installing ground fault protection on control power supplies to the equipment, to provide additional safety for site personnel.



Always be alert to safety. Shock, burns, and other injuries happen in an unanticipated instant, but can cause a lifetime of impact.

The LS2100e control is a static, adjustable frequency control for a synchronous machine using Load Commutated Inverter (LCI) technology. It uses application-specific, microprocessor-based software to control the speed of a generator. The static starter control consists of three cabinets:

Refer to the section, Power Conversion Cabinet for further details.

Refer to the section, Control Cabinet for further details.

Refer to the section, Pump Cabinet for further details.



Power conversion cabinet



Control cabinet



Pump cabinet

The power conversion cabinet contains the electronic components that form the power converter. The power converter is composed of a source bridge that feeds a load bridge through a dc link reactor. A transformer isolates the LS2100e control from the ac system bus and provides the correct voltage at the rectifier terminals. The isolation transformer’s internal impedance limits the magnitude of any downstream bus faults. The source bridge is a line-commutated, phase-controlled thyristor bridge that produces a variable dc voltage output to the externally mounted dc link reactor. The reactor smooths the current and keeps it continuous over the system’s operating range. The reactor output is fed to the load-commutated thyristor bridge, or load bridge. The load bridge produces a variable frequency ac output to the generator’s stator terminals. The control cabinet contains the UCSB controller, I/O, power distribution, and power supplies. The pump cabinet contains the coolant pumps and other elements of the cooling system.

Configurations The LS2100e control is available in two power ratings: 8.5 MVA and 14 MVA. Both systems are designed to provide an optimal match to the starting power requirements for both GE Energy frame 7 and frame 9 gas turbine generator sets.

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II) – This document contains proprietary information of GE and is intended for internal use only. It may not be used, shown, reproduced, or disclosed outside of GE without the express written consent of GE.

Power Conversion Cabinet The power conversion cabinets have hinged covers that require a tool for opening and are equipped with a padlock hasp for locking the cover in the closed position. Panels bolted on the cabinet cover the rear sections, requiring access only for high voltage bus connections. Located inside the power conversion cabinets are the following: •

Power Conversion Module (PCM)



Current Sensor Interface (FCSA) boards



Voltage Feedback Scaling (NATO) board



High Voltage Gate Interface (FHVA) boards



High Voltage Bridge Interface (FHVB) boards



Field Gate Pulse Amplifier (FGPA) boards



Source bridge line filter



Load bridge line filter

Power Conversion Module The PCM includes the source and/or load bridge rectifiers, snubbers, current sensors, and leg reactor assemblies. The components vary for different bridge ratings based on the power output required. An external 4160 V input/2080 V output delta-wye connected transformer supplies 3-phase power (source bridge power) to the PCM.

Bridge Rectifiers Refer to Chapter 1 Equipment Overview and the figure, LS2100e Control System Overview for more information.

Chapter 2 Functional Description

The LS2100e control contains a 12-pulse source bridge rectifier and a 6-pulse load bridge rectifier. For the 8.5 MVA system, the 12-pulse source bridge is composed of two 6-pulse source bridges connected in series. The ac sources for the bridges are supplied from delta-wye transformer secondary windings and displaced in phase by 30°. Each bridge rectifier is a 3-phase, full-wave thyristor bridge. Each bridge contains six SCRs (thyristors) controlled by one LS2100e Static Starter Gating Interface (LSGI) board and three FGPA boards. The 14 MVA system contains three 6-pulse SCRs in the source bridges and four SCRs in the load bridges per phase. Liquid cooled heatsinks provide cooling for the SCRs and snubbers.

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II) – This document contains proprietary information of GE and is intended for internal use only. It may not be used, shown, reproduced, or disclosed outside of GE without the express written consent of GE.

Leg Reactors and Cell Snubbers The commutating reactors are located in the ac legs feeding the SCRs, and the snubbers are resistance capacitance (RC) circuits that run between the anode and the cathode of each SCR. The snubber resistors are located behind the SCRs (mounted on long heatsinks). The snubber capacitors are located beneath the SCRs. The cell snubbers, line filters, and line reactors perform the following functions to prevent misoperation of the SCRs: •

Limit the rate of current change through the SCRs and provide a current boost to aid in starting conduction



Limit the rate of change in voltage across the cell and limit the reverse voltage that occurs across the cell during cell commutation

The SCR snubbers include current sharing resistors that help balance the current flowing in each SCR; they also detect voltage across the SCR to aid in fault detection. The FHVA detects short circuits in the snubber capacitors in the 14 MVA system.

The source snubber capacitors on the 8.5 MVA bridge are redundant. The FHVB contains circuitry that detects a short circuit in either capacitor and sends feedback that allows the control to safely remove voltage from the bridge without additional component failures.

8.5 MVA System Redundant Snubber Capacitors

FHVA Board Refer to GEI-100224, Static Starter Control High Voltage Gate Board DS200FHVAG1A.

GEH-6798C

The FHVA is the high voltage gate interface for the 14 MVA bridges. It serves as an SCR gate interface and cell voltage monitor. It provides an isolated path for gate power from the FGPA to the SCR with noise protection. The static starter uses one FHVA for every SCR. The FHVA also includes current sensors to detect whether the SCR is conducting or blocking voltage. It sends cell status data to the FGPA board, and, if blocking voltage is detected, the red C STAT LED indicator is lit.

LS2100e Static Starter Control

GE Proprietary and Internal (Class II) – This document contains proprietary information of GE and is intended for internal use only. It may not be used, shown, reproduced, or disclosed outside of GE without the express written consent of GE.

FHVB Board Refer to GEI-100530, Static Starter Control High Voltage Bridge Interface Board for Gas Turbines IS200FHVBG1.

The FHVB is the high voltage bridge interface for the 8.5 MVA bridges. In addition to the functions of the FHVA, the FHVB supports redundant snubber capacitor failure detection. The FHVB board contains circuitry that detects a short circuit in either capacitor and sends feedback that enables the LS2100e control to safely remove voltage from the bridge without additional component failures.

Current Transformers Two current transformers (CT) provide source bridge output current feedback signals. The mAmp output signal is input to the FCSA. The FCSA provides excessive voltage suppression and sends signals to the LSGI through a copper wire connected to a 12-pin plug on the LSGI. The CTs are located on the Phase A and C legs of each source bridge. Phase B current is calculated by the LS2100e control.

Current Sensors Two LEM® current sensors provide the load bridge output current feedback signal. The FCSA provides 24 V dc power to the LEM from the control cabinet. The mA output signal is sent to the FCSA. The FCSA provides excessive voltage suppression and sends signals to the LSGI through a copper wire connected to a 12-pin plug. The two current sensors are located on the Phase A and C legs of the load bridge. Phase B current is calculated by the LS2100e control.

FCSA Board Refer to GEI-100222, Static Starter Control Current Sensor Interface Board DS200FCSAG1A.

The FCSA provides a common end point between bridge current sensing devices and the LS2100e control. It performs interconnection, termination and suppression. Each FCSA contains end points for two ac current transformers (ACCTs), two LEM current sensors, and an LEM power supply input.

NATO Board Refer to GEI-100225, Static Starter Control Voltage Feedback Scaling Board DS200NATOG1A.

Chapter 2 Functional Description

The NATO provides voltage feedback scaling (attenuation) of the bridge’s three ac and two dc voltages. The NATO uses attenuating resistors between line voltage and ground to produce a feedback signal that is sent to the LSGI through a ribbon cable. Stab connections provide options for selecting outputs to the LSGI. There is one NATO for each bridge. There are two types of NATO: group 2 and group 3. Group 2 is optimized for 4160 V bridges (load bridge). Group 3 is optimized for 2080 V bridges (source bridges).

FGPA Board Refer to GEI-100223, Static Starter Control Gate Pulse Amplifier Board DS200FGPA.

The FGPA interfaces the control cabinet to the power bridge. A fiber-optic interface connects the LSGI to the FGPA. The FGPA receives the gate commands from the LSGI and controls the gate firing of up to six SCRs on each of the two bridge legs. It is also the interface for SCR status feedback. LED indicators display the SCR conduction status. Three boards are required for each bridge (one per phase). Each FGPA supplies gating power of sufficient magnitude and duration for one phase of a SCR bridge and sends it to the CTs on the FHVA (or FHVB), which provides an interface to the SCRs.

Refer to GEI-100781, LS2100e Static Starter Gating Interface (LSGI) Board Instruction Guide for more information.

The switching power supply circuit converts ac input to the dc control voltages required for status and gating functions. It receives 120 V ac input from the control cabinet (FUG) and produces the following voltages: •

P5 (4.7 - 5.1 V dc) for logic power



P15 (13.5 - 14.5 V dc) not monitored



P40 (25 V dc) for gate back porch



P90 (80 V dc) to start gating

As a status monitor, the FGPA accumulates SCR voltage information from the FHVA (or FHVB), and transmits the data to the LSGI, including the status of the switching power supply.

Source and Load Bridge Configuration

Line Filters Metal oxide varistors (MOV) provide overvoltage protection.

2-8

GEH-6798C

Each bridge has its own RC filter that protects the thyristors from voltage spikes caused by commutation. The line filter is protected by fuses, which contain blown-fuse indicator switches monitored by the control. The source bridge line filters are located above the PCM and the load bridge line filter is located below the PCM.

Pump Cabinet The pump cabinet is located behind the control cabinet and contains the components that form the cooling system. The cooling system transfers heat to a heat exchanger from heat producing devices, such as SCRs and high-wattage resistors. The liquid cooling system is a closed-loop system with a covered reservoir for makeup coolant. Coolant circulates from the pump discharge to the heat exchanger, is sent to the power conversion bridges, and returns to the pump. To maintain coolant resistivity, a portion of the coolant is bypassed to a deionizer system. The liquid cooling system is composed of the following features: Refer to the section, Coolant Mixture for more information on the water and propylene glycol mixture.

Refer to the section, Resistivity Meter for more information.

Isolation valves allow the pumps to be changed without draining the system.

Redundant pumps circulate the coolant. The pressure switch and coolant pressure should be checked to verify they are working properly. The gauge pressure switch and interlocking pump motor starters provide automatic transfer to the backup pump at 3.6 kg (8 lb) per square inch (psi). Normal gauge pressure is 15 - 40 psi. The coolant circulating system is self-venting. During normal operation, it does not require air venting or purging. The outlet side of the power conversion bridge contains a manual vent. Ventilation to the atmosphere is through a vent in the top of the reservoir.

The reservoir is low-density polyethylene with a screw cap. Keep the reservoir covered to prevent unnecessary contamination of the system, coolant evaporation, or spillage.

A liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger for remote mounting is optional and does not use cooling blowers.

The liquid-to-air heat exchanger option includes redundant cooling blowers. A coolant temperature switch and interlocking blower motor starters provide automatic transfer to the backup blower.

Caution

The heat exchanger is usually mounted at the same elevation as the static starter control. If the heat exchanger is mounted above the static starter, coolant draining back into the system from the heat exchanger can overfill the reservoir if the pump is shutdown. Place the reservoir vent at an elevation above the highest point in the closed loop cooling system to prevent spillage if the pump is shutdown.

Coolant Temperature and Condensation Control A temperature regulating valve in the pump cabinet controls the coolant temperature within the bridge to a minimum of 18ºC (65 ºF) while the pump and LS2100e control are running. The valve keeps the bridge temperature above the ambient dew point to prevent condensation from forming within the bridge. Above 35ºC (95 ºF), the temperature of the coolant being delivered by the heat exchanger limits the maximum temperature in the bridge. A valve that is not fully closed could allow condensation to form, resulting in arcing faults in the bridge. A valve that will not fully open could cause the bridge to overheat and trip on the Coolant Temperature fault. Under certain operating conditions, it is possible to determine if the temperature regulating valve has failed.

Blower status displays only when it is enabled in the system (P.Blwr_Enabled enables blower status). The Coolant Temp alarm is factory set at 68°C (155 °F) and the Coolant Temp fault is set at 77°C (170 °F). These should not require adjustment.

Temperature displays the present coolant temperature. If the coolant temperature increases beyond the Coolant Temp alarm level, an alarm is generated. If the coolant temperature increases above the Coolant Temp fault level, the software shuts down the LS2100e control bridge. Resistivity displays the present electrical resistivity of the coolant. The deionizer, when operating properly, keeps the conductivity of the cooling solution low and its resistivity high. If the coolant resistivity is below the Pump Resistivity alarm level, an alarm is generated. If the coolant resistivity is below the Pump Resistivity fault level, the software shuts down the LS2100e control bridge. Pumps M1 and M2 indicate which of the two coolant circulation pumps is currently running. If the selected pump fails to maintain pressure, the control software automatically switches to the other pump. Note It is good practice to alternate the selected pump (M1 or M2) at regular intervals to ensure the bridge has reliable backup cooling capacity and to evenly distribute wear on the pumps.

Blowers M3 and M4 indicate which of the air-to-water heat exchanger blowers (if supplied) are running. The control software automatically turns on both blowers if the coolant temperature increases beyond the Coolant Temp alarm level. Both blowers stay on until coolant temperature decreases below the alarm level and the coolant temperature alarm is reset. If the selected blower fails, the control software automatically switches to the other blower. Note It is good practice to alternate the selected blower (M3 or M4) at regular intervals to ensure the bridge has reliable backup cooling capacity and to evenly distribute wear on the blowers.

Attention

These blower references apply to the liquid-to-air heat exchanger option only (the second blower is optional). A system that uses a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger has no blowers and the blower status messages should be ignored.

Coolant Mixture Although both propylene and ethylene glycol are approved for use, propylene glycol (part number 278A2175FUP1) is preferred because of higher electrical resistance, longer deionizer life, and non-toxicity.

The LS2100e control normal operating environment temperature ranges from 0 to 40°C (32 to 104 °F). The coolant is a water and propylene glycol mixture that prevents freezing with lower ambient temperatures. The system should initially be charged with a mixture of distilled, de-mineralized, or deionized water and pure propylene glycol. Makeup coolant (coolant added to adjust the coolant concentration) must be a similar mixture to maintain the desired freeze protection. Depending upon coolant quality and cleanliness of the heat exchanger installation, initial charging of the system can require up to 24 hours for the coolant resistivity to exceed the alarm level. Distilled water (100%) may be used if there is no chance of freezing.

Caution

Caution

For freeze protection, use only pure propylene glycol without additives. Do not use automotive anti-freeze or any type of corrosion inhibitors since this contaminates the deionizer. Typical corrosion inhibitors include silicates, phosphates and borates.

Too much propylene glycol in the mixture reduces cooling system performance. Be sure to keep it at the minimum percentage required for freeze protection. The heat dissipation system is fully rated up to a maximum of 52% propylene glycol.

The concentration of propylene glycol can be selected for as much as 8°C (15 °F) above the minimum anticipated temperature since slushing occurs before the coolant freezes solid. Typical concentrations of propylene glycol in water contain some slushing between temperatures. Typical Propylene Glycol Concentrations

3.

Add either distilled water or propylene glycol, as appropriate.

4.

Verify the concentration is within the correct temperature parameters.

Caution

Adding a large quantity of makeup coolant can cause a momentary drop in coolant electrical resistance and trigger an alarm. Unless extreme contamination has occurred, the deionizer soon restores nominal resistance. A brief drop in coolant resistance does not harm system operation.

UCSB Controller Refer to GEI-100665, Mark VIe Controllers UCCx and UCSx Instruction Guide.

The UCSB controller is the heart of the LS2100e control. The UCSB controller operates as a stand-alone unit and contains all control and protection features for the LS2100e control. The UCSB controller communicates to all I/O through serial interfaces: Ethernet interface to the unit data highway (UDH) and high-speed serial link (HSSL). The LSGI board supplies the 28 V dc input power. All LS2100e configurations are supplied with a single UCSB controller.

HSLA Board Refer to GEI-100782, High-speed Serial Link Interface (HSLA) Board Instruction Guide.

The HSLA is a single or dual-port high-speed serial link (HSSL) target board. The HSSL is a high-speed point-to-point communication link between the UCSB controller and the HSLA. The HSLA is always mounted to an LSGI or LSTB host application board. A key feature of the HSLA is its field programmable gate array (FGPA), which provides logic function to control the host application board. The UCSB controller automatically performs configuration of the HSLA based on identification of the HSLA, host application board and HSSL port connection. The HSLA receives power from the host application board. The LS2100e control may be supplied with HSLAH1 (non-crossover systems) or HSLAH1 and HSLAH6 (crossover systems) boards. Refer to the sections, LSTB Board and LSGI Board for more information.

LSTB Board Refer to GEI-100780, LS2100e Static Starter I/O Terminal Board (LSTB) Instruction Guide.

The LSTB provides 32 120 V ac contact inputs and 14 dry normally open contact outputs. Three 24-point removable terminal blocks provide end points to the I/O wiring. A single HSLA on the LSTB communicates with the UCSB controller through the HSSL. The LSGI board supplies the 28 V dc input power. All LS2100e configurations are supplied with a LSTB/HSLAH1 mounted in LSTB1. Crossover configurations are supplied with an additional LSTB/HSLAH6 mounted in LSTB2.

LSGI Board Refer to GEI-100781, LS2100e Static Starter Gating Interface (LSGI) Board Instruction Guide.

The LSGI is the interface between the UCSB controller and the power conversion bridges, analog input (4-20 mA) coolant feedbacks, analog outputs (0-10 V), and pre-trip contact input. A single HSLA on the LSGI communicates with the UCSB controller through the HSSL. The LSGI provides controller independent bridge instantaneous overcurrent (IOC) protection. In the event on an IOC condition, the LSGI opens 52SS, removing input power from the bridges. The LSGI receives 28 V dc from the main power supply and distributes it throughout the control cabinet. The 28 V dc is used to power the LSGI, UCSB controller, LSTB, and the 8-port switch. The LSGI also receives ±24 V dc from the main power supplies, which is passed to the FCSA to power the LEMs. All LS2100e control configurations are supplied with an LSGI/HSLAH1, with the HSLA mounted on the LSGI in location 1. Crossover configurations are supplied with an additional HSLAH6 mounted on the LSGI in location 2.

Control Power Transformer The control power transformer provides fused 120 V ac power to the control cabinet and the FGPA. Fuses in the control cabinet protect the primary and secondary of the transformer.

Power Supplies There are three power supplies in the control cabinet: a control power supply and two LEM power supplies. The control supply receives 120 V ac from the control power transformer and outputs 28 V dc. The 28 V dc provides power to all circuit boards, the Ethernet switch, and the optional touchscreen. The LEM power supplies receive 120 V ac from the control power transformer and outputs ±24 V dc.

Converter Gating Control Refer to the section, Phase-locked Loop for more information. Refer to the section, Force-commutated Operation for more information.

When operating in any mode, the electronic control synchronizes the firing of source and load converters. It synchronizes firing to the ac line and synchronous machine bus voltages using attenuated bus-to-ground signals as its primary feedback. The LS2100e control combines these inputs to produce line-to-line analog voltages for both converters. It integrates the voltages to obtain flux signals. The flux signals’ zero-crossings are used to synchronize the phase-locked loop (PLL) for firing control of both converters. At low speed, before the PLL is effective on the load side, the zero-crossing marks are used as a timing reference for firing in force-commutated operation.

Commutation The source bridge always operates line-commutated. Therefore, the ac line voltage transfers conduction from one thyristor to the next. The load bridge may operate either force commutated or load commutated, depending on generator speed and flux level. As the generator’s rotor (field) rotates, the near-sinusoidal shaped field flux cuts the stator windings and produces a set of three sinusoidal voltages in the stator. The sinusoidal voltages are angularly displaced by 120° (electrical). The magnitude of this counter-electromotive force (CEMF) is proportional to speed and field strength. At low speeds, the induced CEMF is insufficient to commutate the thyristors in the load side converter. In this mode, the load converter must operate force commutated.

Force-commutated Operation Refer to the section, Self-commutated Operation for more information.

Force-commutated operation is used when the turbine generator is started from turning gear speed and continues until the machine CEMF is sufficient for self-commutation. In force-commutated operation, conduction of the load converter is stopped by phasing the source converter to inversion limit until the dc link inductor current is zero. Thus, the dc link current is divided into 60° wide segments of machine electrical angle. The turbine generator’s high inertia makes it impossible to accelerate rapidly. To minimize the effect of harmonic heating at the rotor slot-to-slot wedge interface, starting current is also limited. It is necessary to start the turbine generator from a (mechanical) low speed turning gear. The control can recognize machine flux at frequencies corresponding to turning gear speeds of 6 rpm, which is possible because the machine IR (current, resistance) drop is negligible at the LS2100e control operating current level. When a start is initiated, the static starter commands a field voltage sufficient to produce Amps Field No Load (AFNL) on the generator rotor. The control waits for approximately three field time constants (12 sec) for the field current to increase. During this time, the LS2100e control tracks the machine rotor position by observing voltages induced in the stator at turning gear frequency. At the end of the time delay for field build-up, the static starter applies a fixed level of current to the appropriate stator windings to produce positive torque. Normally, the LS2100e control locks onto the machine stator flux and transitions into the segment-firing mode of forced-commutated operation.

GEH-6798C

In segment-firing mode, the load bridge firing is synchronized to crossovers of the machine flux, and the machine is operated near unity power factor (PF) to obtain maximum torque per ampere of stator current. The speed regulator becomes active in segment-firing mode. At approximately 2.5 Hz, the PLL is engaged, which ends segment-firing mode. Force-commutated operation continues until the synchronous machine reaches a frequency where its CEMF is sufficient to commutate the load bridge. The LS2100e control transitions to self-commutated operation.

Self-commutated Operation The commutation time required is a function of machine current, machine (commutating) inductance, and the voltage difference between the lines involved in the attempted commutation.

In self-commutated operation, the machine must operate at a leading PF to ensure commutation of the load bridge. The electronic control acts to keep the machine PF (and torque per ampere) as high as possible. This is accomplished by firing the load bridge as late as possible while maintaining a sufficient margin for successful commutation of current from one cell to the next. For a given load current and machine inductance, successful commutation requires a corresponding amount of volt-seconds. The control reads the peak volt-seconds of the integrated line-to-line machine voltage and machine current. The machine commutating inductance is a constant stored in the microprocessor system memory. Using the current and inductance, the amount of commutation volt-seconds required is calculated by the microprocessor. Using the value of volt-seconds and peak volt-seconds of the previous flux wave, the latest possible time to fire is calculated to give a specified margin after commutation is completed. The commutating notch identified in the A-C line-to-line voltage is equal in amplitude to the simultaneous commutating bump on the B-C voltage. The corresponding notch in the A-B voltage (A and B are the two lines commutating together at this instant) is twice this amplitude; the notch area is twice the commutating inductance per phase times the current. The voltage at the commutating point, where the thyristor legs temporarily connect the lines, is near zero during commutation; the line-to-line voltage is only the forward voltage drop of the conducting thyristor legs.

Current Limit Control Due to the turbine generator’s high inertia, the software operates in current limit whenever the static starter is accelerating. At low speeds, the output current is limited to a relatively low value to minimize induced harmonic currents in the machine rotor. As the speed increases, the current limit recalibrates according to a configurable profile. When the turbine speed reaches a point at which it is capable of self-sustaining operation, the current limit is gradually reduced to zero as speed increases. This prevents a load step on the turbine when the LS2100e control is powered down.

Speed Regulator The speed reference from the turbine controller is compared to a speed feedback derived from the integrated generator voltage to develop a speed error input to the speed regulator. The output of the speed regulator is a torque command. The torque command signal is applied to both the source and load bridge control. Machine torque is the function of flux, current, and the angle between them. Therefore, adjusting stator current magnitude at a fixed angle or maintaining a constant current and varying the displacement angle controls torque. The source bridge controls the current, whereas the load bridge controls the angle. At any given time, the torque is controlled by only one of these means. The torque command to the source bridge is applied to a maximum and minimum current limiter. The minimum current level, usually 20% of rated current, is set to maintain continuous current in the dc link. The minimum current limit also affects the load-firing angle (and machine PF) whenever the torque command produced by the speed regulator is less than the minimum current limit. In this case, the load-firing angle (and machine PF) is varied as a function of the torque command, while stator current is held constant. Torque is controlled through machine PF adjustment whenever torque command is lower than minimum current limit. Whenever the torque command is greater than the minimum current limit, the load-firing angle is either at its rectifying or inverting limit. While starting, the load angle is at its inversion limit. While regenerating (braking), the load angle is at its rectifying limit. While starting, the load control adjusts the firing delay angle to be as late as possible to maintain a fixed commutation safety margin (usually 20°). This control adapts to changes in stator current and voltage to maintain constant margin angle and to maximize PF.

Phase-locked Loop The thyristors are required to fire at specific angular displacements from the ac bus voltages. A PLL tracks bus voltage and angle of the source and load controls for this purpose.

The PLL uses the zero-crossings of reconstructed 3-phase flux waves as a timing reference. At each flux wave crossing, it is possible to determine the angular position within the present cycle of phase A to neutral of the ac bus voltage. This position or phase is compared to the value in a PLL counter to derive a phase error. The error is applied to the PLL regulator, which increases or decreases the clock frequency. This, in turn, drives the PLL counter so the error is driven toward zero. The PLL counter divides an electrical cycle of phase A-N into 1024 increments, then resets at the end of each cycle. The control software can read the value of the PLL counter at any time. The time to fire a particular thyristor can be calculated using the PLL counter reading, the desired firing angle, and an appropriate offset for the cell being fired.

Control Power Supply Inputs Refer to the section, Control Cabinet for additional information.

The LS2100e control requires a separate control power connection. These connections can be directly wired to a 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 400/480 V ac source. Once this connection is made, the voltage is used to supply power within the control cabinet, as well as in the pump cabinet. The control cabinet uses only two of the phases in a step-down transformer to obtain the necessary voltage. Fuses are inserted in series with the connections to prevent overload. A 250 W heater is also supplied.

Unit Data Highway Connections The UDH integrates several different single control systems.

The LS2100e control communicates over the same unit data highway (UDH) as the Mark VIe turbine control and HMI. A typical connection to the redundant UDH network is displayed in the following figure. The UDH network uses Fast Ethernet switches. Note Switches are configured by GE for the control system. Therefore, pre-configured switches should be purchased from GE . Each switch is configured to accept UDH.

The 10BaseT cabling is used for short distances between the controller and the T-switch, and any local HMI. The 10BaseT ports in the UCSB controller and the T-switch use RJ-45 connectors. The maximum distance for local traffic at 10 Mbps using unshielded, twisted-pair cable is 100 m (328 ft). The 100BaseFX fiber-optic cabling is used for longer distance communication between the local controllers and the central control room. The 100BaseFX ports in the T-switch and the Ethernet switch are for SC-type fiber-optic connectors. The maximum distance at 100 Mbps using 100BaseFX fiber-optic cables is 2 km (1.24 mi). Redundancy can be obtained by using two T-switches with an interconnecting cable.

8-port Switch The LS2100e control provides a redundant UDH enabled 8-port switch with all units. The switch ports are defined as follows: •

Port 1, 2 and 5-8 – open ports used to connect to any simplex device



Port 3 – primary UDH connection



Port 4 – secondary UDH connection

Refer to the site-specific system elementary for connection diagrams. The LSGI supplies the 28 V dc input power.

Connect the redundant UDH into only ports 3 and 4. Connecting the redundant UDH into any other ports can cause a network failure and corrupt the entire UDH.

Caution Computer Interface A computer can be connected locally to the LS2100e control system through an empty port on the 8-port switch (do not use port 3 or port 4) or the control cabinet door Ethernet port. They all connect to the UDH. The connection provides the interface to the ToolboxST* application.

Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Gas Turbines

GEK32568j

I. GENERAL These instructions contain information intended to help the purchaser of a General Electric gas turbine and the lubricant supplier to select the proper grade and quality of lubricating oil for the turbine application. For those turbines that utilize a load gear and anti-wear additives, please refer to GEK 101941, “Lubricating Oil Recommendations with Antiwear Additives for Gas Turbines with Bearing Ambients above 500°F (260°C).” These recommendations apply to General Electric’s Heavy Duty Gas Turbines only. For lubrication recommendations for equipment other than General Electric, refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of that equipment. The successful operation of the gas turbine and its driven equipment is vitally dependent upon the lubrication system. Therefore, it is necessary for all factors contributing to correct lubrication to be present and for the entire system to be maintained in good order. The life of the equipment depends upon a continuous supply of lubricant of proper quality, quantity, temperature, and pressure. This being the case, the life and quality of the lubricant is of prime importance to the user. Experience has shown that certain fluid monitoring and condition maintenance is required. Hence, the following recommendations are made. II. VARNISHING PROPENSITY Base Oil Types and Characteristics The two most important properties of base oils used in the formulation of turbine oils are: 1.

Inherent thermal and oxidation stability

2.

Solubility characteristics of the base oil towards additives There are significant differences in performance of different base oils in these respects:

A. Group I Base Oils Base Oils are known generally to exhibit excellent solubility characteristics towards additives and degradation byproducts and are therefore more likely to keep degradation products in solution compared to Group II base stocks. However, standard Group I base oils suffer limitations in the area of thermal and oxidation stability and are unlikely to achieve the high levels of thermal and oxidation performance required by modern high performance gas turbine lubricants, as defined in this specification, without the need to heavily fortify them with antioxidants. This approach can lead to the formation of excess levels of degradation byproducts, mainly breakdown products of the antioxidants, further resulting in varnishing problems despite the superior solubility characteristics of the base oil.

Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Gas Turbines

B. Group II Base Stocks Base Stocks generally exhibit excellent inherent thermal and oxidative stability and typically give better performance response to antioxidants, which means the required thermal, and oxidation characteristics required in a high performance gas turbine lubricant can be achieved with lower dosage rates of antioxidants. This combination tends to offer products, which are initially cleaner in service - i.e. form lower levels of degradation product. However, Group II base oils are known generally to exhibit reduced solubility characteristics compared to Group I base stocks with the result that degradation products, when formed as the oil ages, tend to fall out of solution more readily and therefore have an increased tendency to form varnish. Group V Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) base stocks are known to exhibit excellent thermal and oxidative stability as well as provide superior solubility characteristics as compared to Group I and Groups II-IV base oils. PAGs, by nature are relatively polar when compared with the relatively nonpolar nature of Group I mineral oil, or with the increasingly non-polar Group II-IV base oils. Since PAG degradation compounds are polar, they will remain soluble and will not fall out of solution. By their nature PAG oils prevent the occurrence of varnish by eliminating the formation and accumulation of insoluble degradation products. Consequently non-varnishing Group V PAG based formulations are highly superior in thermo-oxidative stability. There is often a trade-off between thermal and oxidation stability and the solubility characteristics of the turbine oil. Therefore careful the selection of base oil is important in order to achieve an optimum result. III. RECOMMENDED PHYSICAL PROPERTIES For this purpose, the lubricating oil should be a rust and oxidation inhibiting petroleum, synthetic hydrocarbon, or synthetic fluid. It should be formulated against high temperature oxidation and to minimize deposits harmful to bearings or hydraulic servo control systems. Tables 1 and 2 list recommended physical properties of new oil (Table 1 is for mineral oilbased fluids and Table 2 for PAG-based fluids). The relevant ASTM test methods and recommended values are provided and the current ASTM test method should be referred to for details of each test. The oil is International Standards Organization Viscosity Grade 32 (ISO VG32) oil. The properties listed are typical of turbine lubricating oils except for the oxidation test requirements. Note that the values in Tables 1 and 2 are only recommended values and it is the responsibility of the oil supplier to provide a fluid suitable for service.

Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Gas Turbines

IV. LUBRICATION SYSTEM The lubrication system is configured to provide an ample supply of filtered lubricating oil at the proper temperature and pressure for operation of the turbine and its associated equipment. 1. Protective devices are incorporated into those systems where it is necessary to protect the equipment against low lube oil level, low lube oil pressure, and high lube oil temperature. The protective devices generate an alarm or shut down the unit if any of these conditions occur. 2. The particular arrangement of the system, the protective devices, and the system settings are shown on the schematic piping diagram for the specific gas turbine. Other information on the lubrication system is found in the service manual and includes the system’s operation, maintenance, and instructions for the various pieces of equipment used in the system. V. OPERATING TEMPERATURES Lubricating oil is exposed to a range of temperatures as it is circulated through the gas turbine. For reliable circulation of oil before starting, the oil temperature should be 75˚F (24˚C) to obtain the appropriate viscosity. 1.

8

The nominal bearing inlet oil temperature is 130˚F (54˚C). However, actual operating conditions may vary due to: a.

Customer requirements,

b. c.

Ambient conditions, and/or Coolant temperature.

2.

The lubricating system cooling equipment is configured to maintain the nominal 130˚F (54˚C) bearing inlet oil temperature when a large volume of plant raw water is available for cooling. However, when radiator systems are involved, it should be noted that while the nominal 130˚F (54˚C) bearing header will be maintained for a high percentage of the operating time, the sizing is such that for the maximum recorded and reported ambient temperature at the site, the bearing header temperature may be 160˚F (71˚C). The minimum recommended oil inlet temperature is 90˚F (32˚C). The gas turbine bearings are configured to operate satisfactorily at these inlet oil temperatures. In special cases, other configured header temperatures are used as dictated by the load devices.

3.

Operating bearing temperature rises are discussed in appropriate sections of the service manual. Typically, the lubricant temperature rise from bearing inlet to drain is in the 25˚F to 60˚F (14˚C to 33˚C) range.

4.

In some gas turbines the bearing housings are located in an area of high ambient temperature. This ambient and the sealing air may be over 500˚F (260˚C). The bearing housing is sealed with labyrinths and positive airflow such that the bearing drain spaces are at approximately atmospheric pressure. A portion of the lubricating fluid will be mixed with a small quantity of hot sealing air and will wash metal surfaces at a temperature between the bearing housing ambient and the oil drain temperature.

5.

The lubricant temperature in the tank will be 25˚F to 40˚F (14˚C to 22˚C) above the bearing header. Thus, the bulk temperature will be 155˚F to 200˚F (68˚C to 93˚C) during operation. When nonvarnishing Group V PAG fluid is used, turbine bearings will typically operate at 5°F to 10°F lower temperature. This is due to the higher thermal conductivity of Group V PAG fluid versus Group I or Group II-IV oils.

VI. CORROSION — PREVENTATIVE MATERIALS Manufacturing procedures are conceived such that all metal surfaces in contact with the lubricating oil in the lubrication system are protected from corrosion by prescribed cleaning and treating. 1.

The inside walls of the lubricating oil tank are processed at the factory using an oil-resistant paint.

2.

The inner surfaces of all lubricating oil piping, bearings, hydraulic control devices, and other apparatus whose surfaces will be in contact with the turbine lubricating oil are coated with a vapor space rust- inhibited (VSI) lubricating oil which is used as a combination test and shipping oil.

3.

In addition, 50 gallons of this oil is put in the reservoir at shipment and the system openings are closed. The oil and its vapors provide corrosion protection during shipment and installation.

4.

At installation this oil should be removed and the reservoir manually cleaned. The remaining VSI oil should be removed with a displacement flush.

5.

Vapor phase rust inhibitors are polar in nature and can impact the water separation and foaming characteristics of turbine oil. It is essential that they be completely flushed from the turbine before the new turbine oil added. It is strongly recommended that flush oil be disposed of and not re-used as operating oil. Non-varnishing Group V PAG fluids which are also polar in nature may dissolve residual amounts of VSI oil and will provide increased cleaning efficiency during the displacement flush.

6.

If necessary, lubricant suppliers may obtain information on the specific VSI oil used via contact with GE Engineering.

VII. CLEANING REQUIRED AT INSTALLATION The reliable operation of hydraulic controls and machine bearings is dependent upon the cleanliness of the lubricating oil system. During manufacture, considerable care has been taken in processing, cleaning, and flushing this system to maintain the cleanliness. Further, full flow filters are included in the system thereby filtering all of the fluid before its use. NOTE For guidance in flushing and cleaning, refer to ASTM Standard D 6439 “Standard Guide for Cleaning, Flushing, and Purification of Steam, Gas, and Hydroelectric Turbine Lubrication Systems.” This ASTM standard should be followed. Most of General Electric Company gas turbines are packaged power plants that require a minimum of flushing and cleaning at installation. NOTE It is strongly recommended that the flush/displacement fluid be of the same properties as the proposed in-service fluid, that the flush/displacement fluid be discarded after use, and that it not be reused for long-term turbine lubrication.

1.

If the installation is of a non-packaged type requiring field pipe fabrication of intricate shapes, then complete cleaning and flushing is required.

2.

From the ASTM standard for a packaged power plant the minimum practices include the following:

3.

Upon arrival of the equipment at the site, a general visual inspection should be made to become familiar with the equipment, to observe any shipment damage, and to determine that the lubrication and control systems are sealed from contamination. Take corrective action as necessary from these observations. It is important that the systems subject to contamination or corrosion remain sealed as much as possible during the installation period.

4.

The field interconnections of the piping must be clean at installation. This piping is of simple configuration to permit visual inspection and manual cleaning.

5.

During the installation, any soft or hard film temporary corrosion protective material must be manually removed.

6.

A displacement flush should be performed. Install and circulate the operating lubricant for a 24- to 36-hour period (or longer as necessary) at a temperature of 130˚F to 150˚F (54˚C to 66˚C). The auxiliary lubricant oil pump may be used. Remove and dispose of this displacement fluid.

7.

After satisfying the above items, the reservoir should be manually cleaned. The parties involved should be satisfied that the operating lubricant is clean and free of water and that it meets the manufacturer’s recommendations. The actual final fill should be made through a suitable strainer or filter, as a precaution against the accidental ingress of solid foreign objects.

8.

After filling, circulate the lubricant through the system to confirm that satisfactory flow has been established. Verify there are no leaks in the system.

VIII. OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY A. After the unit is installed, and prior to its initial starting The operator should take all precautions to ensure: 1. The lubricating system has been thoroughly flushed and is clean. 2. The supply of turbine oil is ample for operation of the unit. 3. The type of oil is in accordance with this instruction. B. During operation of the unit The operator should establish a routine inspection procedure to ensure that: 1. The temperature and pressure levels of the lubrication system are within the limits specified by the service manual and the piping schematic diagrams. 2. No leakage is observed throughout the systems. 3. The oil purity is maintained by adhering closely to the recommendations set forth by the oil vendor for sampling, purifying, and replenishing the lube oil supply or inhibitors. Water inleakage can be checked via sampling of tank bottoms.

C. Recommendations regarding oil storage and reservoir top-up: 1. The operator should store oil per the oil vendor instructions and local regulatory specifications. Most vendors recommend storing oil barrels in a covered environment. Oil barrels may not be air-tight. Therefore, in order to prevent ingress of ambient contaminants, some vendors recommend storing the barrels at an angle, such that the level of fluid in the barrel remains higher than the drum access ports. 2. The particle count of the oil tends to increase from the time of production, to delivery, and through the storage period on site. Prior to topping up the reservoir with additional oil, it would be prudent to analyze a sample to confirm the physical condition has not deteriorated beyond the oil vendor recommendations. Additionally, the oil should be added through a filter to the reservoir inlet port. The added oil should not deteriorate the overall reservoir oil cleanliness beyond the recommended cleanliness level. The recommended oil cleanliness level documentation is referred to in the lubricating oil schematic piping diagram for the gas turbine unit. If the oil vendor cannot specify a filter that would deliver the oil to the reservoir within the cleanliness limits, refer to the flushing instructions for the unit. NOTE Always follow the equipment vendor instructions for maintaining hardware or piping that comes into contact with the lubricating oil. Prior to using any external agent (such as a detergent or chemical) in cleaning these, consult with the hardware and oil vendors on the compatibility or possible side effects of the agent on the oil or hardware. IX. OIL VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY It is generally recognized that turbine lubricating fluid should be a petroleum derivative or synthetic hydrocarbon or be a Group V polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based turbine fluid. All fluids should be free from sediment, inorganic acids, or any material which, in the service specified, would be injurious to the oil or the equipment. For the case of petroleum derivatives or synthetic hydrocarbons the lubricating fluid should also be free of water, whereas for Group V PAG based turbine fluids, as much as 7500 ppm of water can be tolerated. NOTE The responsibility of supplying the proper oil for the lubricating system to meet this instruction rests with the oil vendor and the Customer. The oil vendor is expected to make recommendations to the turbine operator concerning compatibility with the VSI oil and operational sampling and testing. Further, they are expected to cooperate with the manufacturer and the operator by providing the support necessary to ensure satisfactory performance of the lubricant, such as examination of oil samples and recommendations for corrective action, if required. If necessary, lubricant suppliers may obtain information on the specific VSI oil used via contact with GE Engineering. © 2014 General Electric Company. All Rights Reserved.

X. MONITORING Lubricant condition must be monitored for reliable operation of the gas turbine. ASTM Standard D4378, “In-Service Monitoring of Mineral Turbine Oils for Steam and Gas Turbines" provides guidance for selecting sampling and testing schedules. This document recommends sampling the oil after 24 hours of service and then suggests nominal intervals depending on hours of operation. The sampling and testing schedule should be adjusted for site-specific conditions, to account for the severity of operating conditions as well as oil condition. ASTM Standard D4378 provides information that can be useful in making this determination. Oil analysis has been in a state of change over the past 10 years. Traditional tests that have been used for decades have been somewhat ineffective at predicting the remaining useful life or deposition tendencies of newer turbine oil formulations. As such, new tests have been introduced which are proceeding through the ASTM approval process. Some of those tests will be referred to in this document revision. It is important to understand that clear communication needs to take place between the turbine operator, the fluid supplier and the test lab when interpreting test results and implementing actions based on those results. A. Sampling The proper sampling techniques are important when taking lubricant samples. In order for a sample to be representative, it must be obtained either from a free flowing line or an agitated tank. 1. The preferable sampling method is sampling from a Line. The lubricating fluid in the line should be free-flowing and not deadheaded. For instance: a. The lines in the bearing header, the active filter, and active heat exchanger are free flowing; the lines to the gauge cabinet are deadheaded. b. In a machine with dual filters or heat exchangers, the inactive filters or heat exchangers do not have flowing fluid and, therefore, are not suitable sampling points. When using a sampling line, make sure that the line has been thoroughly flushed before taking a sample. Adequate amount of flushing will depend on sampling line dimensions, length and diameter. 2. Secondary sampling methods are: a. Tapping from the Tank or Reservoir: As described above, the lubricant fluid must be thoroughly agitated in the reservoir (via operation of the main lube pump(s)) and the tap line flushed before a sample can be taken. The tapping point should be located at a level between ½ and ¾ up from the bottom of the tank. In order to ensure a representative sample, fluid should never be drawn from the drain point.

GEK32568j

b. Dipping from the Tank: Where neither of the above facilities is available the lubricant fluid sample must be taken by dipping from the tank. Lubricant should be thoroughly circulated (with one or more lube oil pumps) before the sample is taken. The sample should be taken from a level between ½ and ¾ up from the bottom of the tank. Care should be taken to avoid, so far as possible, collecting any contaminant from the surface layer of the oil. Thorough agitation during the sampling process will help to minimize this; the use of a sampling “thief” will avoid introducing any fluid from the surface layer. 3. A fluid sample is probably not representative if: a. The fluid in the system is hot while the sample is cold. b. The fluid in the system is one color or clarity in a sight glass while the sample is a different color or clarity. c. The viscosity of the reservoir fluid is different than the sample when both are at the same temperature. d. It should be noted that on occasion a sample may be requested that will not be representative of the overall system. At that time, sampling instructions, as specified by the requestor, must be followed. For example, a sample might be taken off the top or the bottom of a tank to check for contamination. In such a case, the sampling point should be clearly marked on the sample container. e. When a sample is taken, care should be used to ensure that all available headspace in the container is used. In other words, the container should be as full as possible to ensure that any free oxygen is minimized. 4. Samples should be taken in a “suitable” container. To be “suitable”, the container should be: a. Clean. If in doubt about its cleanliness, use another container. If this is not possible, flush it out with the fluid to be sampled. b. Resistant to the material being sampled. For instance, the fire resistant phosphate ester fluids and some fuels will dissolve certain plastics. This includes the liner in bottle caps. To verify the container’s resistance, if time permits, allow the sample to sit in container and observe its effects. Aluminum foil makes a good, resistant cap liner. c. Appropriate for whatever handling is required. Containers with leaking tops and glass containers improperly protected are not suitable for shipment. Note that stringent packaging requirements must be followed if shipment is to be made by air. d. Of sufficient size. An extensive chemical analysis, if that is why a sample is required, cannot be done on the contents of a container that is too small. Normally one pint is sufficient unless a larger quantity is requested. e. Opaque. Certain chemical reactions can be initiated or accelerated by exposing the sample to sunlight. f.

Lubricant suppliers may provide sample containers that meet the above-mentioned requirements. These should be used whenever possible. If frequent samples are taken, an adequate supply of containers should be kept.

5. A sample should be properly marked. Markings should include at least the following information: 1) Customer name, 2) Site Name, 3) Site Location, 4) Turbine serial number, 5) Turbine fired hours, 6) Turbine fired starts, 7) Date sample taken, 8) Type of fluid sampled, 9) Sampling point, and 10) Approximate number of total hours the fluid has been in service. a. Samples from the initial fill These should be forwarded to the lubricant supplier and/or a laboratory for extensive tests; these test results will be used as a base line and the results kept for the life of the fluid. This sample should be taken at least 24 hours after the system has been placed in normal operation to ensure it is representative of oil that will be in use for long-term service. b. The frequency of other samples Frequency depends upon the service; results of previous samples should be consistent with the oil supplier’s recommendations. Sufficient tests and sample intervals are necessary to establish trends and to prevent significant lubricant operational problems. Sharing the test results among the user, oil supplier, contracted laboratory and General Electric Company Gas Turbine Division can be helpful. c. Clean Bottles for particle count analysis should be certified clean to NAS 3 (max) to avoid introducing contaminant which could potentially affect the cleanliness level result of samples being reviewed. NOTE Test result trending is critical. Making decisions based on single data points is not recommended. If test results do not follow a logical trend, re-sampling and testing would be recommended.

B. Oxidation Oxidation is the primary mechanism responsible for turbine oil degradation. As such, it is critical to understand the Oxidation stability of any proposed new oil and oils that are in service/use. Historically, test method ASTM D2272 (Standard Test Method for Oxidation Stability of Steam Turbine Oils by Rotating Pressure Vessel) has been widely accepted as way for monitoring degradation due to oxidation. This test, along with TAN (Total Acid Number) and Viscosity have been very effective in providing a complete picture for monitoring oil condition and allowing reasonable projections for the remaining useful life of the fluid. More recently, with the introduction of special, highly refined Group II and Group III base stocks and the use of complex, multi-component antioxidant systems for turbine oil formulations, this test has been proven to be less representative of used oil condition. In particular, the ASTM D2272, test when used for some modern oil formulations, has been shown to be susceptible to variation caused by the oxidation inhibitors used. ASTM D2272 is also influenced by the presence of certain additive components other than antioxidants, such as anti-wear additives, metal passivators and corrosion inhibitors, providing a misleading picture of the oxidative stability of the fluid. For this reason, and due to its poor precision, it is falling from favor as a condition monitoring technique for oils in service. Care should be taken if this test is being used for condition monitoring. For oils formulated with a standard Group I base stock and conventional antioxidant system, the ASTM D2272 test is still valid and should be continued as is recommended in Table 1. C. Synthetic Oils Synthetic oils are currently being successfully utilized in many different kinds of equipment, including heavy-duty gas turbines. Due to the very specific nature of synthetic formulations, it may be possible that the recommended values shown in Table 1 are not consistent with the values of synthetic oil being considered for use in a GE gas turbine. As was stated previously, the values in Table 1 are only recommended values. Oil that has been shown to perform successfully in the field may still be used even if all values in Table 1 have not been satisfied. Among the synthetic oils currently being successfully utilized, Group V PAG formulations offer several unique attributes that provide advantages for turbine operators; these include reduced friction, increased heat transfer, faster air release, increased water tolerance, improved solubility characteristics, and as described previously in Section II, of this document are inherently nonvarnishing. When using Group V PAG based turbine fluid, the recommended values indicated in Table 2 should be consulted.

XI. USE LIMITS- GROUP I OILS

WITH CONVENTIONAL ANTIOXIDANT ADDITIVES The lubricant supplier will have recommended use limits. However, General Electric Company also has recommendations that are stated in this section.

XII. USE LIMITS- HIGHLY REFINED GROUP I & GROUP II-IV OILS

WITH COMPLEX ANTIOXIDANT ADDITIVES The introduction of oil formulations, which utilize a Group II base stock and a combination (Phenol and Amine) anti-oxidation system has shown that the traditional parameters monitored for Group I formulations (Viscosity, Acid and Oxidation) are not as effective in trending and predicting the remaining useful life of the oil. However, it is still recommended that these 3 parameters be monitored, along with the additional tests shown in Table 4. As mentioned previously, new tests are currently being evaluated to assist turbine operators with monitoring the condition of oils formulated with Group II-IV base stocks and mixed Phenol/Amine antioxidation additives. In order to receive ASTM approval, these new analytical tests must pass a rigid testing protocol and are currently pending. They are being referenced in this document to assist turbine operators in the absence of any available approved tests and should be utilized in close coordination with the oil suppliers and testing labs.

XIV. COMMENTS A. Oil Purifying or Conditioning Systems Oil conditioning systems, configured in a “side stream” or “kidney loop” arrangement have been shown to be effective, however the main concern when considering such an arrangement is the effect it may have on specific additives to and performance of the finished oil. For example centrifuges are not recommended because of their potential for removing oil additives. The fluid supplier should be consulted when utilization of one of these systems is being considered. Full-flow filtration is included in the lubrication system; it should be noted that these filters have been sized for bearing protection. Attempting to reduce the pore size may result in complications and is not recommended. An operating gas turbine is an excellent dehydrator; thus water removal systems are normally not necessary. Water contamination is limited to condensation and cooler leaks. It is recommended that the cooling water pressure be maintained below lube fluid pressure, so that the chance of water leakage into the lubrication system is minimized. Clay filters are not recommended for cleaning of turbine oils meeting these instructions. B. Use of Additives As a general guideline customers should not incorporate any additives into the fluid. This prohibition particularly refers to the use of 1. “Oiliness additives,” 2. “Oil dopes,” 3. Preservative oils, 4. Anti-oxidants, and 5. Engine Oils. If oiling the bearing is required to facilitate rolling of the shaft during maintenance, the oil from the lubricant oil tank should be used. In some cases, the addition of certain additive components to in-service turbine oils can correct fluid performance issues. Extreme care should be taken if considering this practice and undertaken only with the cooperation of the fluid supplier. Third party additive products are not recommended.

C. Diagnostics Programs Diagnostic programs such as wear metal analysis (e.g., Spectrographic Oil Analysis Program (SOAP)), may be used as part of oil sampling and analysis. General Electric makes no recommendation with regard to use of these programs. There are, however, several reservations. These programs should be used for establishing trends; a single point in time value is not meaningful. Unlike aircraft jet engines and piston engines, there have not been and are not any studies correlating the “spot” results of these programs with performance of a gas turbine. With the type of bearings used in a gas turbine, impending bearing failure is most likely to be predicted by analysis of mechanical vibration. D. PAG Compatibility As a general guideline, the turbine operator should not mix different lubricating turbine fluids in the system. Only a small amount, less than 2 % by volume, of mineral oil or synthetic hydrocarbons can be tolerated in PAG based synthetic fluid. Contamination by a larger amount of petroleum or synthetic hydrocarbon based oil will compromise the functionality of the PAG based synthetic fluid and the turbine lubrication system itself, and must be avoided. Operators who desire to switch to a new type of oil should consult with the oil vendor and should adhere to the steps defined in Section VI regarding the cleaning of VSI oil during initial installation.

XV. APPENDIX A – TEST METHOD For detailed information concerning the various test methods, please refer to the parent published documents. The discussions below are simply intended to help explain various tests and properties and are provided for informational purposes only. A. Viscosity The viscosity of a fluid is its resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly reported in stokes which has the units of cm/sec. Centistokes (one hundredth of one stoke) are most commonly used for convenience. The viscosity in centistokes is also called the kinematic viscosity. The absolute or dynamic viscosity is expressed in poise (more commonly centipoise). It is the kinematic viscosity in stokes (or centistokes) at a given temperature multiplied by the density of the fluid at this temperature expressed in grams/cm3. The viscosity in centistokes is determined per ASTM D445, “Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (Kinematic and Dynamic Viscosities).” The viscosity is calculated from the time required for a fixed volume of fluid at a given temperature to flow through a calibrated glass capillary instrument using gravity flow. Centistoke viscosities can be converted to Saybolt and vice-versa using the tables and formulas given in ASTM 2161 “Conversion of Kinematic Viscosity to Saybolt Universal Seconds.” 1. The viscosity limits provided above are consistent with the guidelines presented in ASTM D4378 “Standard Practice for In-Service Monitoring of Mineral Turbine Oils for Steam and Gas Turbines.” High viscosity is most likely the result of oil oxidation. Low viscosity is probably the result of contamination with fuel or a lower viscosity lubricant or other fluid. 2. Viscosity Index (VI) is an arbitrary number used to characterize the variation of kinematic viscosity with temperature. A higher VI indicates a smaller decrease in kinematic viscosity with increasing temperature or in other words, the higher the VI, the more resistant to viscosity change the oil is. B. Pour Point Pour point is the lowest temperature at which a fluid is observed to flow and is determined per ASTM D97 “Standard Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Products.” It is reported in increments of 5˚F and is determined as the temperature at which fluid, contained in a tube with an inside diameter of 30 to 33.5 mm, will not flow within five seconds of rotating the tube 90 degrees from the vertical to the horizontal position. The pour point is reported more as a matter of information. Of practical concern in the configured of lubrication systems is the viscosity at which the lubricant fluid becomes too viscous to be pumped. For General Electric gas turbines the viscosity should be less than 173 centistokes for proper circulation of the fluid before starting. C. Total Acid Number (Neutralization Number) The total acid number (TAN) is the milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) required to neutralize the acidic constituents in a gram of sample. It is determined per ASTM D974, “Neutralization Number by Color Indicator Titration.”

D. Flash and Fire Point Flash and fire points are determined per ASTM D92 “Standard Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by Cleveland Open Cup Tester”. Flash and Fire Points are an indirect measure of both the volatility of the fluid and the flammability of these volatiles. Since there are more accurate ways of determining these (for instance, distillation to determine volatiles), this test is mainly of value as a quality control test. E. Oxidation Tests 1. ASTM D943: “Standard Test Method for Oxidation Characteristics of Inhibited Mineral Oils" is the traditional oxidation test for turbine oils. a. In this test, a sample of oil is placed in a container of water along with pieces of steel and copper wire that have been coiled together. The container is maintained at a temperature of 203˚F (95˚C) and oxygen is passed through it. b. The test measures the time in hours for the TAN to reach 2.0 milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram of sample. 2. ASTM D2272: “Standard Test Method for Oxidation Stability of Steam Turbine Oils by Rotating Pressure Vessel” a. This test is included as a screening test for new oils. It is normally used for quality control of particular new oil formulation. b. Although over time this test has been adopted widely as a condition monitoring test for oils in service, it has a number of disadvantages in this application. In particular: i. The result is susceptible to variation caused by certain contaminants present in the oil, and ii. Results can be influenced by the effect of additive components other than antioxidants, such as anti-wear additives, metal passivators and corrosion inhibitors. iii. In the latter case, it has been found that the volatility of inhibitors can have a significant effect on the results of this test when applied to oil in service. In screening new oils, the ASTM D2272 test should be run in the normal way and compared to the result of a second test run on oil which has been treated to remove volatiles: a. ASTM2272 Modified 1)

This pretreatment is done by putting the oil to be tested in a test tube 38 mm ID× 300 mm L. (This is the same tube used for the International Harvester BT-10 oxidation test.)

2)

This tube is immersed in a bath maintained at 250˚F (l21˚C). Clean, dry nitrogen is then bubbled through the heated oil for 48 hours at the rate of 3 liters per hour.

3)

The treated oil is then tested per ASTM D2272.

4)

The value obtained in the test of the treated oil should be no less than 85% of that obtained for the untreated.

Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Gas Turbines

b. The ASTM D2272 is an oxygen absorption test. Oil, water, and copper catalyst coil, contained in a covered glass container, are placed in a vessel equipped with a pressure gauge. The vessel is charged with oxygen to a pressure of 90 psi (620 kPa), placed in a constant temperature oil bath set at 302˚F (150˚C), and rotated axially at 100 rpm at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal. The time for the test oil to react with a given volume of oxygen is measured, with completion of the time being indicated by a specific drop in pressure. 3. Modified ASTM D-2893 B Oxidation Test Method for PAG-based Synthetic Turbine Fluid: a. The test lubricant (300ml) in a borosilicate glass tube is heated to 249.8 °F (121°C) in dry air for 312 hours (13 days). b. Both before and after the test, the kinematic viscosity of the fluid at 212°F (100°C) (KV100) is recorded according to ASTM D7042 and the percentage change recorded. c. A visual inspection of the fluid before and after the test is also made and any deposit formation recorded. F. Anti-Oxidant Additive Levels The ASTM D6971, “Standard Test Method for Measurement of Hindered Phenolic and Aromatic Amine Antioxidant Content in Non-zinc Turbine Oils by Linear Sweep Voltammetry” is gaining popularity as an effective method of quantifying the remaining antioxidant levels of oils in service and therefore giving a measurement of remaining useful life. The method is essentially a comparator technique evaluating antioxidant levels in the sample under test against the initial levels present in a new oil sample. G. Foaming Tendency The ASTM D892 “Standard Test Method for Foaming Characteristics of Lubricating Oils” specifies three sequences of bubbling air through oil. First, it is done at 75˚F; second, it is done with a new sample of oil at 200˚F; and third, the oil from the second sequence is used but operated at 75˚F. H. Rust Prevention The rust prevention characteristics of the lubricant are determined per ASTM D665 “Standard Test Method for Rust-Preventing Characteristics of Inhibited Mineral Oil in the Presence of Water.” 1. In many instances, such as in the gears of a steam turbine, water can become mixed with the lubricant and rusting of ferrous parts can occur. 2. This test indicates how well inhibited mineral oils aid in preventing this type of rusting. 3. This test method is also used for testing hydraulic and circulating oils, including heavier-thanwater fluids. 4. It is used for specification of new oils and monitoring of in-service oils.

I. Air Release D3427 “Standard Test Method for Air Release Properties of Petroleum Oils” describes the method for determining air release properties of petroleum oils. 1. Compressed air is blown through oil heated to a specified temperature. The length of time required for the air entrained in the oil to reduce to 0.2% is recorded as the air release time. 2. Air release provides a measure of the oil’s performance in hydraulic systems because entrained air results in the fluid becoming a compressible medium, which can lead to sponginess and sluggish response in hydraulic systems. 3. Entrained air can adversely affect the lubrication properties of the oil and also reduces the density of the fluid, which can lead to malfunction of critical systems. J. Insolubles 1. MPC This is the new test method for the measurement of lubricant generated insoluble color bodies in in-service turbine oils using membrane patch Colorimetry. Turbine oil degradation products lead to deposits and have color bodies that can be measured in this test. a. The MPC test extracts insoluble contaminants from 50ml of in-service turbine oil mixed with 50ml of petroleum ether onto a 0.45 nitro-cellulose membrane. b. The color of the patch is then measured by a spectrophotometer. The darker the membrane, the higher potential the fluid has for generating deposits in the turbine oil system. c. The results of this procedure are reported as a Delta E value, within the CIELAB scale, representing the total color of the patch. NOTE The above test is in the ASTM validation phase and is being referenced here to assist turbine operators with oil condition monitoring. 2. FTIR FT-IR - ASTM D7214 “Standard Test Method for Determination of the Oxidation of Used Lubricants by FT-IR Using Peak Area Increase Calculation.” Oxidation, measured by FTIR fixed path length, will indicate level of general thermo oxidative degradation. Measurement can also indicate the presence of degradation mechanisms such as dieseling and electrical spark discharge. Spectroscopy is often employed for wear metal analysis. A number of physical property tests can complement wear metal analysis and are used to provide information on lubricant condition. Molecular analysis of lubricants and hydraulic fluids by FT-IR spectroscopy produces direct information on molecular species of interest, including additives, fluid breakdown products and external contaminants, and thus complements wear metal and other analyses used in a conditionmonitoring program. © 2014 General Electric Company.

FT-IR can be used to monitor additive depletion, contaminant buildup and base stock degradation. Contaminants monitored include water and incorrect make up oil. Oxidation can be monitored as evidence of degradation of the base stock. Warning or alarm limits are currently not available, and test results should be trended and used in conjunction with a correlation to equipment performance to establish whether actions are necessary. Consultation with the oil supplier and/or test lab is required. K. Water Content The presence of water in the lubricating fluid is not indicative of decomposition but in the case of Group I and Group II-IV formulations, water can, however, promote the decomposition of the lubricating oil by reacting with additives in the oil. 1. Water may also promote corrosion, which in turn may cause filter plugging. 2. The presence of water may indicate a problem with the turbine system such as a leaking heat exchanger. 3. The source of water should be determined and corrected. For PAG-based turbine fluids, as much as 7500ppm of water can be tolerated. L. Particulates ASTM D5452 – (Standard Test Method for Particulate Contamination in Aviation Fuels by Laboratory Filtration) 1. This method details how to measure particulates in fluids by measuring the change in weight of a membrane filter after a known volume of fluid has been passed through it. Although the test was configured with aviation fuels in mind, the procedure is also suitable for measuring the mass of contaminants in turbine oils. 2. It is advisable to use a 0.45-micron nitro-cellulose membrane filter and approximately 100 ml of fluid. The particulate contamination is determined by measuring the increase in mass of the test membrane relative to the control membrane filter and the results are expressed as mg/L. 3. This is a complementary test to particle counting and membrane patch colorimetry and provides a more complete contamination profile of the fluid. 4. As stated above, the oil supplier may have other tests to determine oil conditions. These tests and any associated limits should be included in the oil-monitoring program.

Oil Recommendations

I. OBJECTIVE This document provides information to help the purchaser of a GE Generator to select and maintain the lubricating oil. This oil is required to supply lubricant to the journal bearings and, in the case of hydrogen cooled units, the hydrogen seal rings. Typically, GE turbine-generator units use a common lube oil system providing oil to both turbine and generator. The driver’s oil recommendations are usually more stringent; thus, oil recommendations are usually provided by the generator driver. However, note that cleanliness requirements for hydrogen-cooled machines may be more stringent due to tight clearances in the hydrogen seals. Similar documents for GE gas turbines and steam turbines are available and provided with the Station Designers Manual. This GEK is intended to provide guidance for GE generator only purchasers (non-GE driver) or GE generators with drivers either not having oil recommendations or having separate lube oil systems. II. RESPONSIBILITY The generator owner is responsible for obtaining lubrication oil meeting the required specifications, ensuring that the oil charge is clean when it enters the turbine oil tank, and keeping it clean during operation. This includes ensuring cleanliness of lubrication oil equipment and piping. The generator owner is also responsible for establishing an oil monitoring and maintenance program. This includes scheduling all analysis and equipment maintenance. Proper operation of the lubricating oil system with its purpose of lubricating the journal bearings and hydrogen seals depends on the lubrication oil having the proper physical characteristics and cleanliness level. Temperature, time, and contaminants cause the properties of the lubricating oil to deteriorate. The oil properties, therefore, must be monitored and contamination levels controlled during the years of turbine generator operation. Even with a properly designed, installed and operating lubrication oil system, it is still necessary to monitor the condition of the lubrication oil. For example: 1.

The rate of dirt entry into the system may be high due to many airborne particles entering through the oil deflectors and oil tank covers, such that filtration cannot remove these particles as fast as they enter.

2.

The long-term effects of air oxidizing the oil may cause changes in viscosity and neutralization numbers, and the formation of varnish and sludge. NOTE Varnish and sludge can cause the seal oil pressure regulator valve or float trap mechanism to stick. Should the float trap mechanism stick, you could have a H2 leak. This H2 would be routed up the Bearing Drain Enlargement (BDE) vent.

3.

The presence of water will gradually reduce the effectiveness of some additives, reduce oil stability for emulsions, reduce lubrication value, and accelerate rusting.

4.

Any oil purification and filtering unit must be well maintained for operation to be effective. It may be necessary in some cases to take additional steps (such as reflushing the oil system or replacement of the lubricating oil itself or use of special purification equipment) to maintain the condition of the lubrication oil within the recommendations.

III. LUBRICATION OIL SELECTION 1.

Lubrication Oil Types a.

Required Oil Type and Viscosity Grade – ISO VG 32 The required turbine-generator operating oil is a hydrocarbon-based turbine oil or combined cycle oil, of ISO Viscosity Grade 32 meeting the included new oil property requirements. For special high temperature applications ISO Viscosity Grade 46 may be recommended.

b.

Steam Turbine Oil versus Gas Turbine Oil Steam turbine oils are formulated for oxidation resistance in the presence of relatively large amounts of water, for demulsibility and rust resistance. Premium steam turbine oils have higher oxidation stability measurements (Turbine Oil Stability Test (TOST)>3500 hrs.), improved demulsibility, performance and sophisticated additives optimized for water exposure. Operating temperatures in steam turbine service are moderate; thermal resistance is a lesser consideration than in gas turbine service. Gas turbine oils are formulated for oxidation and thermal stability at higher temperature range, broader operating temperature, reduced volatility, foaming resistance and greater resistance to deposit formation. Gas turbine oil formulations are not engineered for exposure to significant amounts of moisture and the additives may not be moisture tolerant. Dedicated gas turbine oil formulations should not be used in steam turbine service.

c.

Combined Cycle Oil Combined cycle oils are formulated to provide the high temperature thermal stability and oxidation resistance necessary for gas turbine service with the moisture tolerance and rust inhibitors required in steam turbine service. Combined cycle turbine oil properties are characterized by very high oxidation stability test measurements (TOST>6000 hrs.), and low initial acidity (Neutralization Value2000 Hrs. >250 minutes

V. LUBRICATION OIL OPERATING CONDITIONS The expected operating conditions for lubrication oil are as follows: OPERATING CONDITIONS Maximum Viscosity before Starting Minimum Oil Temperature before Starting Operating Bearing Inlet Oil Temperature Normal Bearing Outlet Oil Temperature

VALUE 380 SSU 70º F [21°C] (90º [32°C] F if using lift oil) 120–130ºF [49-55°C] (See Note 2) 145–165ºF [63-74°C] (25–35ºF [14-19°C] oil temperature rise)

NOTE 1. Specific instructions for equipment prevail when they differ from this tabulation. 2. Typically, steam turbine units are controlled to 120ºF (49°C), and gas turbine units to 130ºF (55°C). In hot or limited cooling sites, inlet oil temperature specified may be higher. VI. LUBRICATION OIL CLEANLINESS A. Lube Oil Installation 1. Charge Oil The cleanliness of new oil or “charge oil” from a tanker truck is highly suspect. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that proper filtration, on the order of, is installed between the tanker truck and the oil reservoir to ensure that the installed oil meets a minimum cleanliness level of AS4059 Class 6A-D, 0E-F prior to use. 2. Use of Additives The only oil additive package shall be the one formulated by the oil manufacturer to meet the oil property requirements. The customer should not incorporate any additives into the fluid except at the request of or with the approval of the fluid supplier. This prohibition particularly refers to the use of “oiliness additives,” “oil dopes,” viscosity enhancers, preservative oils, and engine oils which have been used in the past during installation and maintenance. Under no circumstances should 3rdparty products be used to lubricate bearings at any point in time. If oiling the bearing is required to facilitate rolling of the shaft, the oil from the lubricant oil tank should be used. B. Long Term Reliability Long-term reliability requires improved cleanliness from that initially acceptable to prevent damage. Typically, lube oil is fed through full flow filters before delivery to the bearings and H2 seals. The oil quality will continue to improve as particles are removed. It is expected that in stable operation, cleanliness will be AS4059, Class 6 or 7. It is recommended to take action to restore cleanliness if the level is AS4059, Class 8 or higher.

Oil Recommendations

C. Lube System Piping Flush At installation, the entire lubricating system (equipment and piping) must be thoroughly cleaned. Weld spatter, metal chips, dirt, and other foreign matter introduced during erection or storage of the piping, etc, and any sloshing oil which has been applied to metal surfaces contacting the lube oil, must be totally removed. The flushing procedures provided by GE, when executed properly, perform a rigorous cleaning of the piping through high velocity, hi temperature oil flow, pipe vibration, and other methods. Failure to complete the flush per recommendations has been attributed to scored and damaged bearing and hydrogen seal journals, requiring costly repairs. Filtration alone cannot remove all foreign matter introduced at installation. Oil cleanliness is especially important for the hydrogen seal rings, as they require all oil to pass through a very small clearance. In the absence of a GE flushing procedure, or for more information, refer to ASTM Standard D 6439, “Standard Guide for Cleaning, Flushing, and Purification of Steam, Gas, Hydroelectric Turbine Lubrication Systems.” VII. LUBRICATION OIL MAINTENANCE Lubricant condition must be monitored for reliable operation of the turbine-generator. ASTM Standard D-4378, “In–Service Monitoring of Mineral Turbine Oils for Steam and Gas Turbines” provides guidance for selecting sampling and testing schedules. This document recommends sampling the oil after 24 hours of service and then suggests nominal intervals depending on hours of operation. The sampling and testing schedule should be adjusted to account for severity of service and oil condition. ASTM Standard D-4378 provides information that can be useful in making this determination. Full-flow oil filtration is normally provided as part of the lubrication system. During periods of continuous bearing oil or H2 seal oil operation (whether standstill, turning gear or full-speed), feed oil should be filtered. The recommended filter size is B25=100 (25 microns) or finer. The H2 seals require the cleanest oil due to their small clearance. Coarser filtration has been attributed to accelerated seal wear. VIII. DEFINITIONS A. Viscosity The viscosity or body of oil is the measure of its resistance to flow. Saybolt Universal Seconds (SSU) are the number of seconds required for 3.66 cubic inches (60 milliliters) of oil to flow through the orifice of the Saybolt viscosimeter at a specified temperature. B. Flash Point The flash point of oil is the lowest temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at which sufficient vapors are given off to form an inflammable mixture with air that will burn momentarily when a small flame is applied. C. Neutralization Value The neutralization value is the weight in milligrams of potassium–hydroxide required to neutralize one gram of the oil and expresses the total amount of mineral acid and of the organic compounds having acid characteristics.
