Description
The Harmony rack controllers refer to a series of three controllers differentiated by
their configuration memory capacity, execution speed and I/O support. The Harmony
Bridge Controller (BRC-300) can support block and rack I/O simultaneously. The
Harmony Multifunction Processors (IMMFP11 and IMMFP12) support only rack I/O.
Each controller occupies a single slot in the module mounting unit. It consists of a
single-board module that plugs into the module mounting unit. In the case of the
Harmony Bridge Controller, a Process Bus Adapter card is connected at the rear of
the module to provide cable connections to the Harmony I/O subsystem and
termination unit. As is standard, the module mounting unit provides built-in
connections for rack modules. The Harmony rack controllers use a powerful 32-bit
processor. On-board nonvolatile storage is provided for the control algorithms and
user configurations. LEDs on the module front-plate display
error messages and diagnostic data. One red/green LED displays module operating
status.
Harmony Rack Input / Output
The Harmony Rack Input / Output (I/O) system utilizes a wide variety of input, output,
and signal conditioning modules to interface process signals to the Symphony
Enterprise Management and Control System. Module types, ranging
from standard analog and digital I/O to specialty I/O such as turbine control, field bus,
and sequence of events, can be combined to provide a comprehensive set of
functionality to meet all market and industrial requirements.
The main components of Harmony rack I/O are I/O modules, termination units, and
the I/O expander bus. The Harmony controllers and rack I/O modules communicate
over I/O expander bus. Together a controller and its I/O modules form a subsystem
within the Symphony system. The controller performs the actual control functions; the
I/O modules process any inputs from and outputs to field devices for the controller.
The termination units provide field wiring termination for I/O modules. The controller
can communicate with up to 64 I/O modules connected to the I/O expander bus.
The rack I/O module types include:
In Figure 1, the 5, +15 and -15 VDC lines shown entering the system power bus bar
are the operating voltages for rack I/O devices. The 24VDC (25.5 VDC actual
voltage) line shown entering the system power bus bar is I/O power for field devices.
Additionally, the power system can provide various combinations of 24, 48, and 125
VDC field power. The major MPS III components consist of a power entry panel,
power chassis, power trays, system fan, and bus monitor.
Bus Monitor
The bus monitor checks status and generates a Power Fail Interrupt (PFI) signal in
the event of a 5, +15, or -15 VDC bus failure. The bus monitor is located on the back
of the power chassis.
Control NET
Control Network, Cnet, is a high-speed data communication highway between nodes
in the Symphony Enterprise Management and Control System. Cnet provides a data
path among Harmony control units (HCU), human system interfaces (HSI), and
computers. High system reliability and availability are key characteristics of this
mission-critical communication network. Reliability is bolstered by redundant
hardware and communication media in a way that the backup automatically takes
over in the event of a fault in the primary. Extensive use of error checking and
message acknowledgment assures accurate communication of critical process data.
Cnet uses exception reporting to increase the effective bandwidth of the
communication network. This method offers the user the flexibility of managing the
flow of process data and ultimately the process. Data is transmitted only when it has
changed by an amount which can be user selected, or when a predetermined timeout period is exceeded. The system provides default values for these parameters, but
the user can customize them to meet the specific needs of the process under control.
Harmony rack communications encompasses various communication interfaces as
shown in Figure 1: Cnet-to-Cnet communication, Cnet-to-HCU communication, and
Cnet-to-computer communication.
Control Network
Cnet is a unidirectional, high speed serial data network that operates at a 10megahertz or two megahertz communication rate. It supports a central network with
up to 250 system node connections. Multiple satellite networks can link to the central
network. Each satellite network supports up to 250 system node connections.
Interfacing a maximum number of satellite networks gives a
system capacity of over 62,000 nodes. On the central network, a node can be a
bridge to a satellite network, a Harmony control unit, a human system interface, or a
computer, each connected through a Cnet communication interface.
On a satellite network, a node can be a bridge to the central network, a Harmony
control unit, a human system interface, or a computer.
Harmony Control Unit
The Harmony control unit is the fundamental control node of the Symphony system.
It connects to Cnet through a Cnet-to-HCU interface. The HCU cabinet contains the
Harmony controllers and input/output devices. The actual process control and
management takes place at this level. HCU connection to Cnet enables Harmony
controllers to:
1. Communicate field input values and states for process monitoring and control.
2. Communicate configuration parameters that determine the operation of functions
such as alarming, trending, and logging on a human system interface.
3. Receive control instructions from a human system interface to adjust process field
outputs.
4. Provide feedback to plant personnel of actual output changes.
Human System Interface
A human system interface such as a Signature Series workstation running Maestro
or Conductor Series software provides the ability to monitor and control plant
operations from a single point. It connects to Cnet through a Cnet-to-computer
interface. The number of workstations in a Symphony system varies and depends on
the overall control plan and size of a plant. The workstation connection to Cnet gives
plant personnel access to dynamic plant-wide process information, and enables
monitoring, tuning, and control of an entire plant process from workstation color
graphics displays and a pushbutton keyboard.
Computer
A computer can access Cnet for data acquisition, system configuration, and process
control. It connects to Cnet through a Cnet-to-computer interface. The computer
connection to Cnet enables plant personnel, for example, to develop and maintain
control configurations, manage the system database, and create HSI displays
remotely using Composer engineering tools. There are additional Composer and
Performer series tools and applications that can access plant information through a
Cnet-to-computer interface.
Cnet-to-HCU Communication Interface
The Harmony control unit interface consists of the INNIS01 Network Interface Module
and the INNPM12 or INNPM11 Network Processing Module (Fig. 4). This interface
can be used for a node on the central network or on a satellite network (Fig. 1).
Through this interface the Harmony control unit has access to Cnet and to
Controlway at the same time. Controlway is an internal cabinet communication bus
between Harmony rack controllers and the communication interface modules. The
HCU interface supports hardware redundancy. Redundancy requires a full set of
duplicate modules (two INNIS01 modules and two INNPM12 or INNPM11 modules).
The secondary network processing module (INNPM12 or INNPM11) continuously
monitors the primary through a direct ribbon cable connection. A failover occurs
when the secondary detects a primary module failure. When this happens, the
secondary assumes responsibility and the primary is taken offline.
The local interface supports hardware redundancy. Redundancy requires a full set of
duplicate modules (four INNIS01 modules and two INIIT03 modules). The secondary
INIIT03 module continuously monitors the primary over dedicated Controlway. A
failover occurs when the secondary detects a primary module failure. When this
happens, the secondary assumes responsibility and the primary is taken offline.
Cnet-to-Cnet Local Transfer Module
The INIIT03 Local Transfer Module serves as the bridge between two local Cnet
communication networks. It holds the node database and is responsible for
transferring all messages between networks.
Messages include exception reports, configuration data, control data, and system
status. This module directly communicates with the INNIS01 module of the central
network and of the satellite network simultaneously. The INIIT03 module is a single
printed circuit board that occupies one slot in the module mounting unit. The circuit
board contains microprocessor based communication circuitry that enables it to
directly communicate with its two INNIS01 modules and to interface to Controlway.
Harmony Sequence of Events(SOE)
Harmony sequence of events (SOE) provides distributed event monitoring, recording,
and reporting capabilities for the Symphony Enterprise Management and Control
System. An SOE event is a transition of a digital signal from either on to off or from
off to on. A series of SOE modules collect and time-stamp these digital transition
events which are then made available to the system. Figure 1 shows the distributed
sequence of events system architecture.
An SOE module consists of a single printed circuit board that occupies one slot in a
module
mounting unit (MMU). In general, jumpers and switches on the printed circuit board
and jumpers and dispshunts on the termination unit configure the module and its I/O
channels. A cable connects the SOE module to its termination unit. The physical
connection points for field wiring are on the termination unit.
Server Node
The INSOE01 Server Node consists of the INNIS01 Network Interface module, the
INSEM01 Sequence of Events Master module, and the INTKM01 Time Keeper
Master module.
INSEM01
The INSEM01 Sequence of Events Master module communicates with the INNIS01
Network
Interface module and the INTKM01 Time Keeper Master module. The INNIS01
module is the
front end for all Cnet (control network) communication interfaces and is the intelligent
link
between a node and Cnet. The INSEM01 module communicates directly with the
INNIS01 module.
The INSEM01 module is responsible for managing the distributed sequence of
events system,
which includes managing:
1,500 points coming from the SOE I/O modules in up to 1,000 Harmony
control units (HCU).
256 complex triggers with 16 operands each.
3,000 simple triggers.
The INSEM01 module monitors Harmony control units for data on an exception
report basis, collects and sorts data it acquires, and provides SOE data to human
system interfaces for report
presentation after some predefined trigger condition occurs. Digital state transitions
are collected
at the HCU level by IMSED01 and INSET01 modules, then forwarded to the
INSEM01 module.
The INSEM01 module records the information and sorts it according to time in an
internal database. When a trigger condition occurs, the human system interface is
notified and data transfer occurs.
INTKM01
The INTKM01 Time Keeper Master module provides time information to the
INSEM01 module
and to the rest of the distributed SOE system through the time synchronization link.
The
INTKM01 module connects to an external receiver using IRIG-B time code link. The
module transmits absolute time to the rest of the system using the RS-485 time
synchronization link.
The INTKM01 module cable connects to an NTST01 termination unit. In this case,
the termination unit provides the connection point for the external receiver signals
and also the time synchronization link.
IMSET01
The IMSET01 Sequence of Events Timing module processes up to 16 digital field
inputs, and
receives and decodes the time synchronization link information sent by the INTKM01
module for a Harmony controller. The controller utilizes function code 241 (DSOE
data interface) to interface SOE data from the IMSET01 module to the INSEM01
module, and function code 242 (SOE digital event interface) to configure and access
the IMSET01 module input channels. Each channel is optically isolated, and can be
individually programmed for 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC, and 120 VAC input.
The module communicates with its Harmony controller over I/O expander bus. Only
one
IMSET01 module can operate on an I/O expander bus segment. The module cable
connects to
NTST01 and NTDI01 termination units. The NTST01 unit provides for time
synchronization link termination. The NTDI01 unit provides for field wiring
termination.
IMSED01
The IMSED01 Sequence of Events Digital Input module is similar to the IMSET01
module except that it only processes up to 16 digital field inputs for the Harmony
controller. It does not process time synchronization link information. The controller
utilizes function code 242 (SOE digital event interface) to configure and access the
IMSED01 module input channels. Up to 63 IMSED01 modules can operate on an I/O
expander bus segment along with one IMSET01 module. The NTDI01 termination
unit provides for field wiring termination.
Composer System
Composer provides a comprehensive set of engineering and maintenance tools for
the Symphony Enterprise Management and Control System. Composer is designed
to operate on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (service pack four or later) platform.
The working environment provided by Composer simplifies the configuration and
maintenance of Symphony systems. The base product contains all the functionality
necessary to create and maintain control system configurations. Applications provide
users with the ability to graphically develop
control system strategies, develop and maintain global configuration databases, and
manage system libraries of reusable software components.
Composer is designed to be compatible with INFI 90 OPEN system configurations
and is capable of importing existing WinTools configurations. Once imported, these
configurations can be fully integrated into Composer and utilize all its features.
Composer Applications
The base Composer product contains all the functionality necessary to develop and
maintain Symphony
control system configurations. There are two primary applications: explorer and
automation architect.
Explorer
The primary application of Composer is the explorer. Explorer presents the
Symphony system architecture and provides an intuitive means for organizing,
navigating and locating system configuration information. Explorer presents a user
with two main windows: system architecture and the object exchange.
System Window
The system architecture window functions similar to Microsofts file explorer. The left
pane of the window displays a hierarchical representation of the Symphony system.
When a system object is selected, the right pane displays a detailed view for the
selected object.
The system window supports two views: the document view (Fig. 1)and the data
browser view (Fig. 2). When the system window is in the document view, it will show
the configuration documents that are associated with the system object that the user
has selected. Configuration documents support long file names and can include
control logic documents, human system interface displays, or documents created by
other applications such as CAD packages or spreadsheets.
standard shapes and symbols are organized under the system folder. Users are able
to use these components but since they are part of the standard system objects
supported by Composer, users are not permitted to delete these items from the
object exchange.
To support reuse, the object exchange provides library management features such
as cutting, copying, and pasting of objects between different projects. This makes it
easy for systems engineers to share objects among projects.
Automation Architect
The automation architect provides for the visual creation, editing, monitoring, and
tuning of control logic. High-level control strategies can be created by dragging and
dropping function codes from the object exchange to the control logic document.
The monitoring and tuning capabilities (Fig. 6) of the automation architect provide the
ability to troubleshoot and maintain an operational system using the same
information used to create the system. By using the monitoring functionality, it is
possible to obtain dynamic operating values from the Symphony system. These
values are automatically presented on the same control logic documents that were
used to configure the module. Composers tuning functionality allows the change of
logic parameters as permitted by the controller. The control logic document in the
Composer application and in the module are dynamically updated when tuning
changes are made so that the documentation for the system accurately reflects the
current configuration of the controller.

Architecture
Theory of operation
At the input modules, field signals are filtered and then split, via isolating circuitry,
into three identical signal processing paths. Each path is controlled by a
microcontroller that coordinates signal path processing, testing and signal status
reporting to its respective processor, via one of the I/O communications buses. Once
each processor has a copy of the input state it votes on that data against the input
states presented by the other two processors. The voted result is then used in the
application logic. Once the application has been processed, the results of the
application logic are again compared with the other two processors. These voted
results are then written to the output cards by the processors. The output modules
share the same microcontroller architecture as the input cards, a single result is
presented to the field by passing the three processor signals through a hardware
2oo3 voting circuit.
Processor modules
The SC300E processors have been designed around Intel microprocessors. Key
features of the processor modules are:
Intel 32 bit microprocessor
Support for up to 1Mb of battery backed static RAM for application logic storage.
Error detection and
correction circuitry is used to monitor all data accessed from the RAM. Onboard
lithium batteries
provide a backup supply to the RAM for up to 6 months in the event of system
power failure.
Up to 2 Mb of EPROM programmed with Triguard SC300Es real time operating
system. EPROM can
also be used for the storage of application logic.
Common interface
All I/O modules in the Triguard SC300E share a common system interface as
depicted byFigure 1-4.

The heavy oil gun insert/retract actuator is controlled by a solenoid 5/2 valve. Once
operated the insert valve will remain in its operated position after the pulse has
been removed and until the retract solenoid is operated.
The light oil gun insert/retract actuator is controlled by a solenoid 5/2 valve. Once
operated the insert valve will remain in its operated position after the pulse has
been removed and until the retract solenoid is operated.
The HEI igniter insert/retract mechanism is controlled by a single acting solenoid 3/2
valve which is energized to insert the igniter pod.
In the oil corner start or stop sequence, neither heavy oil gun or light oil gun need to
be insertd or retracted. When advancing command which will be sent to the solenoid
5/2 valve, the oil gun is insertd via the insert/retract actuator drove solenoid 5/2 valve,
the oil gun is retracted via the insert/retract mechanism drove by instrument air.
Before energizing the HEI transformer, the igniter pod must to be insertd. When
advancing command which will be sent to a solenoid 3/2 valve, the igniter is insertd
via the insert/retract actuator drove by instrument air. When the advancing command
is missing, the igniter will be retracted to the original position.
3.3 High energy igniter (HEI)
The HEI is used to ignite oil gun in power plant station.
It includes:
HEI transformer
Igniter pod
Special cable assembly between HEI transformer and igniter pod (about six 6
meter long0
The igniter pod moves with the igniter insert/retract actuator. Its length depends
on the light oil gun requirements. Before sparking in the start or stop sequence,
the igniter pod need inserted in the atomizing area of light oil gun. After the
sparking, the igniter pod must be retracted from the flame area as a protection
against heat overload.
HEI transformer accepts the energizing signal. A high tension capacitor in the HEI
transformer is charged up with energy and then released via a special cable
assembly to the igniter pod. The resultant arc discharge converts the energy into
heat which ignites the fuel.
3.4 Oil corner shut-off valve. Atomization valve & Purge valve
Both light oil shut-off valve and heavy oil shut-off valve drove by instrument air, which
we supplied, is controlled by solenoid 5/2 valve. When opening command is sent to
the solenoid valve, the valve is opened via the pneumatic actuator. When closing
command is sent to the solenoid valve, the valve is closed via the pneumatic
actuator.
Both light oil atomization valve and heavy oil atomization valve drove by instrument
air, which we supplied, is controlled by solenoid 5/2 valve. When opening command
is sent to the solenoid valve, the valve is opened via the pneumatic actuator. When
closing command is sent to the solenoid valve, the valve is closed via the pneumatic
actuator.
Both the light oil purge valve and heavy oil purge valve is controlled by single
solenoid coil (solenoid 3/2 valve). When opening command is sent to the solenoid
valve, the purge valve is opened via the pneumatic actuator. When missing the
opening command, it is closed automatically.

DEH System
With the progress of computer technology, the Distributed Computer System (DSC)
control based on microprocessors is more and more widely used. The emergence of
digital electro-hyraulic (DEH) control systems has broken the fact that the adjustment
of steam turbine could only be finished by the special steam turbine maintainers who
were heat engineers more often than not. Meanwhile, for turbine operators, besides
the technological process of the control system, computer knowledge is also very
important. Aiming at the new generation 300MW DEH control system that is jointly
developed by Dongfang Steam Turbine Works (DFSTW) and ABB SYMPHONY, this
instruction book presents the basic concepts of steam turbine control system, the
configuration of DEH, and the primary functions, operation specifications, and
installation and debugging methods of a control system.
No steam is allowed in front of a SV; otherwise, when the valve is under check and
the rotation speed of the unit is greater than 100r/min, DEH will conduct tripping
automatically. In other words, the rotation speed of the steam turbine must be less
than 100r/min.
2 Calibration procedures
a) Enter into OIS "STEAM TURBINE VALVE CALIBRATION" picture, and select
"SINGLE CALIBRATION PERMIT" or "DOUBLE CALIBRATION PERMIT" (Both can be
selected simultaneously for off-line calibration, but only one of them can be selected for
on-line calibration).
b) When "SINGLE CALIBRATION PERMIT" is lit, only the valves of odd number can be
selected for calibration; when "DOUBLE CALIBRATION PERMIT" is lit, only the valves
of even number can be selected for calibration. Select the valve to be checked, the
corresponding key is lit.
c) After selecting the valve for check, begin to check the corresponding servoboard, and
at this time the "CHK" light on the servoboard begin to flicker (down flicker frequency is
slow but up flicker frequency is fast), meanwhile the "VALVE CALIBRATION IN
PROGRESS" light also begin to flicker (the same flicker frequency with that of "CHK"
light).
d) When "CHK" light and "VALVE CALIBRATION IN PROGRESS" light are normally on,
the check is over.
e) Again click the "single CALIBRATION" or "double CALIBRATION" buttons to quit from
the check mode, and at this time the "CHK" light is off and the "VALVE CALIBRATION
IN PROGRESS" light turns grey.
f) After finishing the check, inspect the static relation. Through the OIS station send out
a valve opening instruction, then check whether the opening instructions and the actual
valve opening meet the static relation's requirements; if not, conduct setting again
according to the above steps.
Prior to start, first generate an latching-on instruction through OIS; then reset the testing
valve block to make the emergency tripping device engaged. After latching-on, a HP
safe oil pressure is established, and all SVs and CVs are in a close state.
Permissive conditions for latching-on:
Tripping of steam turbine;
All valves in a full close state.
Push the "RESET" button in the OIS "AUTOMATIC CONTROL" menu, then the HP
tripping solenoid valve acts, the oil pressure in the upper chamber of the slide valve on
the emergency governor gear is established, and HP security oil is established; at this
time the OIS "AUTOMATIC CONTROL" menu displays the "RESET" status of the steam
turbine.
4 Startup and operating mode
1 Prewarming of HP cylinder
Prior to start, prewarming can be conducted through introducing HP by-pass steam to
the HP cylinder by way of RFV prewarming valve and HP cylinder's steam outlet.
Drivers send out a prewarming instruction to open the prewarming valve RFV, close the
vacuum valve VV, and close the HP exhaust check valve. When the temperature of the
HP cylinder reaches the specified value, keep warming for an hour, and close RFV, so
the prewarming of HP cylinder is completed.
2 HP SV (HP stop valve) prewarming
Operators send out a prewarming instruction to open 10% of the HP SV in one side and
introduce main steam into the two SVs; when the temperature of the valve bodies
reaches the specified value, the prewarming is over and the HP SV shall be closed.
3 Startup mode
3.1 Intermediate pressure (IP) cylinder start
After the prewarming is completed and the start condition is available, open VV. Select
the "STARTUP MODE" button in OIS, and then select the "IP CYLINDER STARTUP"
mode. The IP control valve will be open gradually and the speed of the unit will be
raised to 3000r/min. After grid connection, the unit has an initial load. Set up the target
load and load rate. Push the "PROCEEDING/HOLD" button. At this time a
"PROCEEDING" status displays on the menu and the unit begin to raise its load. In
order to keep the reheating pressure constant, the lower by-pass system begins to
close gradually; when the lower by-pass system is fully closed, HP and IP cylinder
switching can be conducted. Push the "CYLINDER SWITCHING" button, the switching
of HP and IP cylinder begins, that is, the IP control valve opens gradually. In order to
keep the throttle pressure constant, the higher by-pass system begins to close. When
the steam admission ratio of HP cylinder to IP cylinder reaches 1:3, it is thought that the
switch is over. HP and IP control valves participate in control simultaneously. When the
cylinder switching is in progress, the load control will be cancelled and the VV will be
closed.
3.2 Combined start by HP and IP cylinders
When the by-pass system has performance problems or hot state and extremely hot
state are used for start, a combined start mode by adopting HP and IP cylinders can be
adopted; at this point HP and IP control valves are opened simultaneously.
5 Speed control
Prior to the grid-connection of steam turbine generator unit, DEH is a rotation-speed
closed-loop isochronous control system. Its set point is the setting rotation speed.
Through the calculation of PID regulator, the servo system uses the difference of setting
speed and actual speed to control the opening of the oil servo motor, making the actual
speed vary with the setting speed. As per different start modes, the oil servo motor is
ICV or CV and ICV.
After a target speed is set, the setting speed automatically approaches the target speed
with a setting acceleration rate. When the speed reaches the critical speed zone, the
acceleration rate will be automatically changed into 400r/min/min. During speed raising,
often the steam turbine needs to be heated in medium or high speed to reduce heat
stress.
1
Except the target rotation speed set up by operators through OIS, under the following
conditions, DEH automatically set up the target speed:
When the steam turbine is just engaged, the target is the current rotation speed;
When the oil switch is just disconnected, the target is 3000r/min;
In a manual state, the target is the current rotation speed;
When the turbine has tripped, the target is zero.
When the target exceeds the upper limit, it has been changed into 3060 or 3360r/min;
In a self-start mode, the target depends on ATC;
In synchronization, the target varies with the change of the synchronous fluctuation
signals (rate of change 60r/min/min).
When the target is set in the critical range by mistake, it has been changed to a specific
critical value.
2
Acceleration rate
Warm-up of turbine
The warm-up rotation speed depends on the specific unit, and each unit has its own
warm-up speed. When the target rotation speed is reached, the speed raising can be
ceased for warm-up. If intermitting is required during speed raising, the following
operations can be conducted:
When not in an ATC mode, the operator sends out a "HOLD" instruction;
When in an ATC mode, the operator sends out a "HOLD" instruction after the system
quits from the ATC mode.
Within the critical speed zone, the hold instruction is invalid, and only the target rotation
speed can be modified.
Note: during the warm-up, the resonant frequency with rotor and blades must be
avoided.
4
When the steam turbine's speed is stabilized above 30002r/min, all systems conduct
an inspection for grid connection. A pseudo grid connection test is conducted for the
generator to check the reliability of the automatic synchronous system and the accuracy
of adjustment. During the test period, the isolating switch on the side of generator power
grid is disconnected and a pseudo grid connection test signal is sent out. As the normal
condition, the automatic synchronous system changes the frequency and voltage of
generator through DEH and generator excited system. When the synchronization
condition is met, the oil switch is closed. Because the isolating switch is disconnected,
actually the generator is not grid-connected.
As a result, during the pseudo synchronization testing, when DEH receives the pseudo
grid connection test signals and the oil switch is closed, it does not judge that the
generator is grid-connected. In this way, an initial load resulting from grid connection
and the resultant speed rising can be avoided.
During speed rising, warm-up is required. Push down the "HOLD" button in the
"AUTOMATIC CONTROL" menu of OIS. At this point, the OIS menu displays a "HOLD"
status, and the rotation speed keeps constant for warm-up. If the unit is stepping across
the critical zone, the operation of clicking "HOLD" button will be invalid.
Attention: in some works, for no DI signal of pseudo grid connection is sent to DEH,
during the test no grid connection signals can be sent to DEH; otherwise, DEH will think
that the unit has been grid-connected and thus turn up the control valve with an initial
load, which will result in considerable rise of rotation speed.
use the throttle pressure to correct the increased setting value, instead of inputting load
feedback.
Setting value = original value +3+f (p0).
At the beginning of grid connection, the target is also equal to the setting value.
1 Load up
After the steam turbine generator unit is grid-connected, in order to realize the primary
frequency adjustment, rotation speed feedback is available for the control system.
During testing or with a base load, load control can also be input. During inputting load
control, the target and setting value find expression in the form of MW. After the power
control is cancelled, the target and setting value find expression in the percentage of the
total flow under the rated pressure.
After the target is set, the setting value will approach the target value with a set change
rate, and along with it the generator power or throttle pressure will change gradually.
During the load up, often the steam turbine needs to be heated to reduce heat stress.
2 Target
Except the target set up by operators through OIS, under the following conditions,
DEH automatically set up the target:
When the power control is just input, the target is the current load (MW);
When the generator is just grid-connected, the target is the setting value for initial
load (%);
In a manual state, the target is the reference quantity (%) (valve total flow
instruction);
When the control is just cancelled, the target is the reference quantity (%);
When the turbine has tripped, the target is zero;
Under the mode of control of CCS, the target is CCS setting (%);
When the target is too large, it shall be replaced by the upper limit value.
3 Load rate
Set by operator, within (0~100) MW/min;
After the load greater than 10% of the rated load for the first time.
8 CCS control
DEH can cooperate with CCS to complete the coordination control of unit and boiler.
Under the CCS control mode, DEH is one of actuator of CCS. DEH automatically
cancels the power control and, according to the instructions given by CCS, control the
opening of all valves. DEH can give a proper judgment or restriction to CCS instructions
in terms of higher limit, lower limit, and rate of change. The signal transmission between
DEH and CCS is tabled as below:
No.

Here, it is required that during CCS input the "CCS CONTROL REQUEST" signal shall
be normally available; otherwise, DEH decides that CCS proper has canceled it and as
a result DEH changes from a CCS control mode to a valve position control mode.
When DEH receives the "CCS CONTROL REQUEST" signals, we can click the "CCS
INPUT" button in the "AUTOMATIC CONTROL" menu of OIS, and the menu will display
"CCS INPUT". Under the CCS control mode, the DEH target is equal to the CCS setting
value. At this point, the target follows the increase and decrease of CCS setting signals
and the actual load also changes accordingly. Under the following conditions, cancel
CCS:
Operators clicking the "OUT" button in the "AUTOMATIC CONTROL" menu of OIS;
TPC action;;
Manual mode;
Tripping of oil switch;;
Without "CCS CONTROL REQUEST" signals;
Runback action.
All signals between DEH and CCS connected with hard wires.
9 Valve management
The philosophy for valve management is to require that within its whole range of operation a
steam turbine can select its mode of regulation as desired and realize a undisturbed switch
between throttle control (corresponding to single valve operating mode) and nozzle control
(corresponding to sequence valve operating mode). When a throttle steam distribution mode is
adopted, the rapid start-stop and varying duty of steam turbine will not go so far as to produce
oversized heat stress, so that the unit life loss can be reduced; however, within a normal load
range when a nozzle governing variable-pressure operation mode is adopted, the unit has the
best economical efficiency and operational flexibility.
During the start, speed raising, grid connection, and with low load phases, in general
the throttle control mode, i.e., the "single valve" control mode, is adopted. With this
mode, the steam flow enters into the HP control stage in a full circle, which makes the
cylinder and rotor be heated and expanded uniformly, and as a result the heat stress
resulting from start and the mechanical stress resulting from rotor blade regulation can
be effectively lowered.
Under a normal power, a nozzle control mode, i.e., the "sequence valve" control
mode is adopted to acquire relatively high thermal efficiency.
DEH has valve management functions, that is, it can realize the undisturbed switch
between throttle control and nozzle control. Operators are able to select the steam
distribution mode of a steam turbine's control valves, and the concrete steam
distribution mode depends on the start operation mode of the steam turbine.
When the unit's load rises to a certain degree, input power control, and click the
"SEQUENCE VALVE" button in the "AUTOMATIC CONTROL" menu of OIS to display
"SINGLE / SEQUENTIAL VALVE SWITCHING". About 10 minutes later, the switching is
over. After the switching, the load shall be stable. Then switch back to the single valve
control mode. The load shall be stable. If input pressure control, and repeat the above
process, then after the switching process is over the load shall be stable. If the start is
conducted at a hot state or extremely hot state, the sequential valve mode will be
adopted forcefully. After the unit throw off the load, it will automatically set the operation
mode as sequential valve mode. If at this point you want to switch back to the single
valve mode, grid connection with an initial load is required before the switching between
single / sequential valves.
10 Overspeeds
Overspeed control and overspeed protection are available for DEH.
1 Overspeed control
1.1 Load rejection
For the time constant of the rotor of a high-capacity steam turbine is commonly very
small, the time constant of the cylinder volume is often very large. When load rejection
occurs, the rotation speed rises very quickly. If the control only relies on the system
itself, the maximum speed may exceed the action speed of the protection system and
as a result bring about steam turbine intercepting. For this reason a set of load rejection
overspeed limit logic must be set up.
If the oil switch is disconnected and load rejection occurs, both DEH hardware and
software circuits act simultaneously. The overspeed limit integrated package and the
fast solenoid valves of all oil servo motors will act quickly to close CVs and ICVs;
meanwhile the target rotation speed and setting rotation speed are changed into
3000r/min. 2 seconds later, all solenoid valves are reset, and the control valves are
restored to be under the control of servo valves, and the control turns back to normal
speed circuit control. Finally, the rotation speed of steam turbine is stabilized at
3000r/min, so that a rapid grid connection is available after the emergency disappears.
For the purpose of safe operation, there set up several layers of overspeed protection in the
system:
DEH electric overspeed protection 110%;
Mechanical overspeed protection
In addition, the following tripping functions are also available for DEH:
Mannual tripping by operator;
Sending out tripping signals by emergency stop cabinet ETS.
3 Overspeed test
Operators conduct test operation on the "OVERSPEED TEST" menu of OIS.
3.1 Mechanical overspeed test
First shift the overspeed test switch on the "OVERSPEED TEST" menu of OIS from
"NORMAL" to "MECHANICAL", then click the " MECHANICAL OVERSPEED TEST" button,
and a "TEST PROCEEDING" status will be displayed. Set the target rotation speed as
3360r/min and the speed rate as 100r/min/min for speed raising. When the speed rises so far
as to result in tripping, intercept the unit and display both the intercept speed and top speed.
After the test is over, reset the top speed, shift the overspeed test switch from the
"MECHANICAL" to "NORMAL" to quit the unit from the mechanical overspeed test.
receives the signals, spray oil solenoid valve 2YV is electrified, injects oil, and flies the
centrifugal stop ring; when DEH receives the intercepting signals of ZS2, it judges that the
spray oil testing is successful; then spray oil solenoid valve 2YV losses its electricity, the
steam turbine generator unit is reset, isolation solenoid valve 4YV losses its electricity, ZS5
returns to normal, and the spray oil testing is over.
13 HP tripping solenoid valve testing
The HP tripping solenoid valves consist of four solenoid valves, of which two valves are connected in series
and the other two valves are connected in parallel. The design is based on a principle of stop for electricity
failure, that is, the sole electricity failure of any solenoid valve will not result in the intercept of the unit;
therefore, HP tripping solenoid valves can be tested on-line one by one. The test results can be reflected by
the action of two pressure switches PS4 or PS5. When a test for 6YV or 8YV is conducted, the middle oil
pressure will be lowered, at this point the pressure switch PS4 will send out a message to show that the
solenoid valve under testing has valid action; when a test for 7YV or 9YV is conducted, the middle oil
pressure will increase, at this point pressure switch PS5 will send out a message to show that the solenoid
valve under testing has valid action.
After the latching-on for the unit is conducted, a HP tripping solenoid valve test can be
conducted.
Enter into the "TRIPPING SOLENOID VALVE TESTING" menu in the OIS, and change the
test switch from "TESTING PERMIT" to "TESTING". Press the "HP INTERCEPT TESTING"
button, and then select solenoid valves 6YV, 7YV, 8YV, or 9YV for testing. The positions of the
corresponding solenoid valve in the menu will turn red. After the test is over, the red color will
disappear. If the testing succeeds, a "SUCCESS" message will display; if the testing fails, a
"FAILURE" message will display.
Permissive conditions for valve leak testing: automatic mode; latching-on available for the
steam turbine; rotation speed within 2985r/min~ 3015r/min; tripping of oil switch; in the "LEAK
TEST" menu in the OIS the test switch is in the "TESTING" position instead of "TESTING
PERMIT" position.
1 SV leak test
The turbine speed is stabilized at 3000r/min. In the "LEAK TEST" menu in the OIS, click the
"SV TESTING" button, and the button displays "TESTING PROCEEDING" and the color is
red. The control mode changes from "AUTOMATIC" to "MANUAL", all SVs are closed, and the
rpm drops. Display the steam turbine race time record.
2 CV leak test
The turbine speed is stabilized at 3000r/min.. In the "LEAK TEST" menu in the OIS, click the
"CV TESTING" button, and the button displays "TESTING PROCEEDING" and the color is
red. The control mode changes from "AUTOMATIC" to "MANUAL", all CVs are closed, and
the rpm drops. Display the steam turbine race time record.
3 When the rotation speed reaches the acceptable value, click the "OFF TEST" button to
terminate the leak test. After the test is over, the unit trips for shutdown and restart is required.
15 Automatic limit functions
DEH is featured by automatic limit function, which is used to keep the power, throttle pressure
or valve position within certain limits.
DEH can set up the maximum and minimum load limits to limit the generator's developed
power. The value is given by the operator in the OIS.
When the difference between the measured power and given power exceeds the predeterined
value, DEH automatically cancels the power control loop and changes into a valve position
control mode to ensure the safety of the unit.
DEH also has low throttle pressure protection control function (TPC function). When the
throttle pressure drops to the set value (set by operator throught OIS), the throttle pressure
limit loop is brought into operation, outputting instructions to reduce steam valve opening so
as to limit load and help the boiler to restore its throttle pressure as quickly as possible. At this
point, the power control circuit is automatically cancelled.
DEH can also set up a maximum valve position limit to restrict the steam turbine's valve
position within a certain range. The value is set by the operator in the OIS.
1 High load limit
Operators can set up the high load limit in the "AUTOMATIC LIMIT" menu in the OIS (20~
330MW) to ensure that the DEH setting value is always smaller than the limit. After the
system is powered on, the high load limit is automatically set up as 330MW. If at this point the
load is higher than the limit, it will be automatically reduced to the limit.
2 Low load limit
Operators can set up the low load limit in the "AUTOMATIC LIMIT" menu in the OIS (0~
20MW) to ensure that the DEH load is always greater than the limit. After the system is
powered on, the low load limit is automatically set up as 3MW.
3 Valve position limit
Operators can set up the valve position limit in the "AUTOMATIC LIMIT" menu in the OIS
within (0~120)%, and after the system is powered on, the limit will be automatically set up as
120%.
Additional tripping through DEH:
Some additional tripping have been incorporated through DEH system which DEH can
generate alone by sensing data directly to it. The tripping are as follows:
1. Any turbine bearing metal temperature trip which is > 115C
2. Any thrust bearing temperature high trip > 110C
3. Turbine Over speed trip > 3300rpm
4. Main Steam temperature low trip < 430C
5. EH safe oil pressure low
6. Manual trip push button
7. EHG failure trip (it includes any malfunction in turbine main steam valves operation or any
power
supply failure to DEH system like 48V DC)
8. Any ATR trip Which includes:
a) any brg metal temp trip
b) Any thrust brg temp trip
c) Any brg drain oil temp trip > 75C
d) Rotor position trip +1.2 / -1.65
HART System
HART stands for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer. It is an open protocol
developed in the late 1980's to facilitate communication with Smart field devices. HART
communication occurs between two HART-enabled devices, typically a field device and
a control or monitoring system. Communication occurs using standard instrumentation
grade wire and using standard wiring and termination practices.
HART provides two simultaneous communication channels: the 4-20mA analog signal
and a digital signal. The 4-20mA signal communicates the primary measured value (in
the case of a field instrument) using the 4-20mA current loop - the fastest and most
reliable industry standard.
3500 series: SgTPP is using 3500 series Bently Nevada vibration monitoring
system. This comes with rack configuration system. One dedicated rack is there for
analyzing all turbine shaft vibration.
Designed using the latest in proven microprocessor technology, the 3500 is a fullfeature monitoring system. In addition to
meeting the above stated criteria, the 3500 adds benefit in the following areas:
Enhanced Operator Information
Improved integration to plant control computer
Reduced installation and maintenance cost
Improved reliability
Intrinsic Safety option
Enhanced Operator Information: The 3500 was designed to both enhance
the operator's information and present it in a way that is easy for the operator
to interpret. These features include:
Improved Data Set
- Overall Amplitude
- Probe Gap Voltage
- 1X Amplitude and Phase
- 2X Amplitude and Phase
- Not 1X Amplitude
Windows Based Operator Display Software(System1 software)
Improved integration to plant control computer:
Communication Gateways supporting multiple protocols
Reduced installation and maintenance cost:
Reduced cabling costs
Improved space utilization
Easier configuration
Reduced spare parts
Improved reliability:
Redundant power supplies available
Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) monitors and relay cards available
Communication Gateway Module: The Communication Gateway Modules are fullheight modules that allow external devices (such as a DCS or a PLC) to retrieve
information from the rack and to set up portions of the rack configuration. More than one
Communication Gateway Module can be installed in the same rack. Communication
Gateway Modules are available
for a variety of network protocols.
Relay Module: Relay Modules offer relays that can be configured to close or open
based on channel statuses from other monitors in the 3500 rack. Relay modules are
available in 4 channel, 16 channel, and 4 channel Triple Modular Redundant The TMR
Relay Module is a half-height 4-channel module that operates in a Triple Module
Redundant (TMR) system. Two half-height TMR Relay Modules must operate in the
same slot. If the upper or lower Relay Module is removed or declared as not OK, then
the other Relay Module will control the Relay I/O Module.
Keyphasor Modules may be placed in a 3500 rack (four channels maximum). If two
Keyphasor Modules are used, they must be placed in the same full-height slot and will
share a common I/O module.
3500/22M Transient Data Interface
The 3500 Transient Data Interface (TDI) is the interface between the 3500 monitoring
system and Bently Nevadas System 1 machinery management software. The TDI
combines the capability of a 3500/20 Rack Interface Module with the data collection
capability of a communication processor such as TDXnet.
TDI operates in the RIM slot of a 3500 rack in conjunction with the M series monitors
(3500/40M, 3500/42M, etc.) to continuously collect steady state and transient waveform
data and pass this data through an Ethernet link to the host software. Static data
capture is standard with the TDI, however using an optional Channel Enabling Disk will
allow dynamic or transient data to be captured as well. TDI has made improvements in
several areas over previous communication processors in addition to incorporating the
Communication Processor function within the 3500 rack.
TDI provides certain functions common to the entire rack, however the TDI is not part of
the critical monitoring path and has no effect on the proper, normal operation of the
overall monitor system. One TDI or RIM is required per rack. The TDI occupies only a
single slot in the rack and is always located in Slot 1 (next to the power supplies).
For Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) applications, the 3500 System requires a TMR
version of the TDI. In addition to all the standard TDI functions, the TMR TDI also
performs monitor channel comparison. The 3500 TMR configuration executes
monitoring voting using the setup specified in the monitor options. Using this method,
the TMR TDI continually compares the outputs from three (3) redundant monitors. If the
TMR detects that the information from one of those monitors is no longer equivalent
(within a configured percent) to the remaining two, it will flag the monitor as being in
error and place an event in the System Event List.
Rack Configuration Software
Rack configuration soft ware is a Windows based easy to install to the racks of 3500
system host software. All the racks like power module, RIM, Transient Data Interface ,
keyphasor module, vibration module etc can be configured remotely through RS232 or
10/100 T base Ethernet port.
For all the shaft vibration, bearing vibration, differential expansion, keyphasor,
eccentricity range is defined through this Software.
Alarm values and danger limit is defined to trigger relay attached to individual back pne
module.
TMR Relay module can be configured to incorporate more than one parameter to have
different alarm and trip events.
HPLP Bypass
HP bypass controller
The Sulzer HP bypass controller is an integrated system with the functions signal
conditioning, control and valve positioning (Figure 1). The type of operator interface can
be tailored to the needs of the individual plant. The below described functions for start
up as well as for shut down are fully automated.
With a few standardized interface signals the Sulzer bypass controller can be tied easily
into an overall plant automation. The duty of the HP bypass controller can be
summarized for the different operating conditions as follows:
Boiler start up
The controller has to control and increase the boiler steam pressure according to the
steam production of the boiler. The bypass has to divert the steam flow to the reheater,
thus ensuring a proper steam flow through superheater and reheater. The bypass
controller has to control the temperature of the steam to the reheater whenever steam is
flowing through the bypass.
Turbine start up
The HP bypass controller has to control the steam pressure until the boiler master
controller can take over the pressure control.
Load operation
The bypass is closed but the controller is ready to prevent excessive live steam
pressure or excessive pressure gradients.
Turbine load rejection/trip
The controller opens the bypass valves, if necessary with the help of the quick opening
devices, in order to prevent excessive live steam pressure and controls the pressure
until the turbine picks up load again.
Safety Function
Regulations of various countries allow the use of the HP Bypass valves as safety valves
for the HP part of the boiler without any additional conventional safety valves on the HP
side. for this the HP Bypass has to be equipped with a hardwarewise fully independent
safety system. Functionally this system is fully integrated into the bypass controller to
ensure smooth transients between safety and control function.
Figure 2 shows the main elements of a two line HP bypass with the main control
functions:
Pressure controller temperature controller injection water isolation valve control safety
function
1.2.1 Pressure control
Figure 3 shows in more detail the structure of the pressure controller and the pressure
setpoint generator. The different functions and operating modes of the pressure
controller are represented again in the start up diagram of Figure 4.
At the begin of a cold start the minimum opening (Ymin) is active. It ensures
immediately after ignition an open path and therefore a steam flow through the
superheater and reheater.
When there is enough steam production to reach a predetermined minimum pressure
(pmin) the controller begins to control the live steam pressure by opening the bypass
valves.
When the valve positions reach a predetermined value Ym (determined by the desired
steam flow during boiler start up) the setpoint generator begins to increase the pressure
setpoint in accordance with the steam production of the boiler, but with a limited
maximum gradient.
Once the target pressure for starting the turbine (psynch) is reached, the setpoint
generator switches to (fixed) pressure control. As the turbine starts to accept steam the
bypass will start to close until the turbine consumes all the steam produced by the boiler
and the bypass is fully closed.
As soon as the bypass is closed the pressure setpoint tracks the actual pressure plus a
threshold dp which keeps the bypass closed (follow mode). The maximum gradient of
the pressure setpoint is still limited. If the life steam pressure exceeds this gradient, the
bypass will start to open and the controller returns to pressure control mode. The
pressure is controlled by the bypass until normal operation has been restored and the
bypass is closed again.
1.2.2 Temperature control
Regarding temperature control it should be mentioned here only that accurate control of
the steam temperature under all operating conditions requires a controller well matched
to the wide range of operating conditions of a HP bypass (low load, quick opening at full
load, etc.). Accurate control of the temperature under all this operating conditions is an
important life conserving factor for the heavily stressed walls of the valves and piping.
1.3 LP bypass controller
The Sulzer LP bypass controller is an integrated system with the functions signal
conditioning, control and valve positioning (Figure 5). The type of operator interface can
be tailored to the needs of the individual plant. With a few standardized interface signals
the Sulzer bypass controller can be tied easily into an overall plant automation.
Although independent in operation from the HP bypass controller the LP bypass
controller must operate in conjunction with the HP Bypass system and allow the excess
steam flow which is not admitted to the turbine to pass to the condenser.
1.3.1 Pressure Control
The duty of the LP bypass pressure controller for the different operating modes can be
summarized as follows:
Boiler start up
The controller has to control the steam pressure in the reheater system. The injection
controller has, when ever the LP bypass is open, to control the desuperheating of the
steam so that it can be accepted by the condenser.
Load operation
The bypass is closed but the controller monitors the reheat steam pressure in order to
open and control the pressure whenever an unacceptable pressure increase is
monitored.
Condenser protection
Whenever the condenser is not able to accept the steam or the injection water system is
unavailable, the controller has to close the bypass through a separate safe channel in
order to protect the condenser.
During load operation the first stage pressure of the turbine serves as load signal for the
setpoint generator which generates a load dependent (sliding) pressure setpoint.
With large bypass valves, their flow capacity at high reheater pressure can exceed the
absorption capacity of the condenser. For such cases the steam flow to the condenser
must be limited by the bypass controller.
If power operated reheater safety valves are provided (e.g. Sulzer MSV valves),
coordinated operation of the reheater safety valves with the LP bypass can further
improve plant operation for the case of turbine trip or load rejection at high load. The
Sulzer LP bypass controller can provide the necessary signals for operation of the
reheater safety valves.
1.3.2 Injection water control
Because the steam conditions after the LP bypass de superheater are usually near or at
saturation condition, the temperature after the de superheater cannot be used as control
signal. The necessary injection water flow and valve position of the injection valve must
therefore be calculated from the steam flow and steam conditions. The steam flow is in
turn a function of the steam conditions and the valve position of the bypass valve. The
LP bypass controller provides the necessary computing functions to perform this
calculations and uses the calculated injection water demand as setpoint for the water
flow controller.

Transmitter fault
1 Controller
The controller is switched to automatic mode (HV auto) as soon as the power supply is
switched on. The controller monitors and controls the hydraulic supply unit.
By remote control inputs the controller can be switched off (HV off impulse) and on
(HV on impulse). Only when signal off (HV off) is present continuous, the controller is
blocked in the off condition, also after a restart of the controller due to reset of power
supply
2 Main pumps
The main pumps supply the hydraulic oil from the tank to the accumulator. Running of
the main pumps are displayed on control panel (Pump1) (Pump2).
As soon as the controller is switched to automatic mode (HV auto) both pumps are
started, in order to reach the operating pressure as quickly as possible. The start up
of the second pump is delayed by 3 seconds. After the monitor Press auxiliary pump
off is crossed the standby main pump is switched off. The selected main pump
remains running.
If the pressure falls below Press auxiliary pump on, the standby main pump will be
switched on again, to increase the pressure again as quick as possible. The standby
pump is switched off again once the monitor Press auxiliary pump off has been
exceeded. If the pressure falls below Press auxiliary pump on three times in a row
without attending monitor Press valve up, a pump change is carried out and the fault
message (P1<>P2) is displayed.
If there is a fault on the selected main pump, automatic switch-over to the standby
pump takes place and the fault message (P1<>P2) is displayed.
If pressure drops below Pressure too low with 2 pumps running and does not recover
within 2 minutes, both pumps will be switched off and the fault message (P<<) is
displayed.
A similar sequence takes place when starting from the zero pressure condition. If the
Pressure too low is not crossed within two minutes both pumps will be switched off
and the fault message (P<<) is displayed.
For safety and protection reasons the main pumps are always switched off at
following fault conditions:
Level low in tank (L<)
Temperature too high (T>>)
Pressure high (P>)
When above fault conditions are cleared the main pump are switched on again. At
fault (P>) the main pump is switched-over in addition and the fault message is
(P1<>P2) is displayed.
To check, if both pumps are ready for operation, the main pumps are switched over
automatically each 3 days.
3 Accumulator charging valves
The accumulator charging valves control the accumulator pressure of hydraulic supply
unit.
As soon as the main pump is started, the corresponding accumulator charging valve is
activated. When the pressure reach Press valve up the accumulator charging valve is
de energized and the oil from the main pump flows back to the tank. If the pressure in
the accumulator falls below Press valve down the accumulator charging valve is
energized again and the oil from the main pump is charging the accumulator.
If accumulator charging is shorter than 12 second three times in a row the fault
message (N2pressure) is displayed. Remark: The nitrogen must be filled in at
depressurized accumulator. Please see instructions.
4 Filter pump
In controller automatic mode (HV auto) the filter pump is continuous in operation.
Running of the filter pump is displayed on control panel (Filter pump). The filter pump is
switched off at fault level low in tank (L<).
5 Cooling fan
The cooling fan is switched on when the oil temperature exceed Temperature high.
As soon the temperature falls below the threshold the cooling fan is switched off
again. Running of the cooling fan running is displayed on control panel (Fan).
6 Heater (Optional)
For low ambient temperatures the hydraulic supply unit can be optionally fitted with a
heater. The heater is switched on if the oil temperature falls below Temperature low.
Running of the heater is displayed on control panel (Heater).
For safety and protection reasons the heater will be switched off at following fault
conditions:
Level low in tank (L<)
Temperature too high (T>>)
When above fault conditions are cleared the heater is switched on again.

enable the whole closed circuit television system serve the power plant with high effect
and great flexibility.
Camera
Camera part is the front part of the TV monitoring system and eyes of the whole
system. Its function is as follows:
Camera is selected to suit to the indoor environments and
agree with industry standard.
The selected cameras have backlight compensation function
according to the size and contrast ratio of the subject in the
whole image, the compensation electrical level needed is
calculated automatically. Even at some positions of
monitoring point the backlight phenomenon is difficult to be
avoided, the compensation function of a poor light of camera
can enable the system to produce the satisfied image, too. When the camera is shot by
strong light, the camera can not be damaged or focus light, and the image is neither
lost.
By selecting the camera with the low intensity of illumination, and the super strongly
dynamic CCD can also take relatively clear pictures in the area of faint light source.
The built-in synchronizer of the camera can select the synchronous way or outer
synchronous way according to the conditions, and under any circumstance the image
scroll wont take place in order to keep the video signal vertical and in same phase.
or in hanging installation way with corresponding support. The video signal of camera
and the RS485 control signal of decoder are directly sent to the video Streamer (VIP
X1). The camera power source AC240V of unit control room is transported to monitoring
spots, then is transformed to AC24V as power source of equipments.
The color CCD camera (LTC0455/50) with electric zoom lens (LTC 3384/21) is
installed in outdoor camera housing or indoor full function camera housing. The camera
housing is installed on electric Pan/Tilt (LTC9420/11). The decoder (LTC8566/50)
provides power source for camera, lens control and Pan/Tilt control. The camera video
signal and RS485 control signal of decoder are directly sent to the video Streamer (VIP
X1). The camera power source AC240V of unit control room is transported to decoder
which will provide power source for front equipments.
RUNBACK ( RB )
Runback function principle.
RB is the short form of Runback which means the main auxiliary fault-trip due to units actual power
limitation. Control system still force to decrease the unit target load rate. This function called auxiliary
unit fault load reduction. The perfect RB control strategy is established on the basis of coordinated
control system. Every system must be internally coordinated (coordinated control system) and such
ensure the balanced transition of the operation condition. The external coordinated control system
such as FSSS, SCS, DEH, works very fast to stable the load to be decreased to unit output for
premises of scope.

check the relating of the equipments, transfer of control mode, parameter change whether correct or
not. Finding out these problems is the basic steps towards dynamic test. The target of dynamic test
is actually finding out that after RB, checking RB function is either reasonable or not, and every

Performance calculation
2. Plant network
In this project, ABB provides a typical 2 level ,star style, switch network. The first
level is second level switch to core switch, this is backbone network with 1GBPS
bandwidth. The second level is terminal PC to second level switch, each second level
switch has 24 100M ports for user.
The plant network consists of:
1 core switch WS-3750-24 + WS-3750-12G, from CISCO.
Servers Real Time Server, 2 Performance and life Server, CMMS Server IBM
X346, from IBM
2 gateway PC(Advanced)
3 Firewalls(CISCO)
The 7 second level switches will be located in different building. They will connect to
core switch with 1G bandwidth as main network. 1 terminal PC will be used as shift in
charge PC to show analysis data to operator. The other terminal PC will connect to
second level switch in their building. 1 Firewall will be used to connect internet, its in
Maintenance department. The 2 gateway PC will connect to DCS network with firewall
isolation.
The PGIM database will be installed in RealTime Server(MIS Server) for process
data management and store.
The Performance and life Server is for performance and life calculation. The input
data
required for the calculation are read out from the PGIM database, calculated within the
Technical Calculation, and then the results are written back into the PGIM real-time
database.
3. MIS-DCS interface
For MIS-DCS interface, ABB provides 2 gateways for 2 units, the OPC protocol will
be used for connection between DCS and MIS. The 3 network adapters will be installed
in the gateway, 2 connect to DCS SW for redundant configuration, 1 connects to core
switch of MIS.
In the gateway, the OPC Scanner will be installed and configured to communicate
with PGP OPC Server (DCS side) as OPC Client; it gets process data and transfer data
to PGIM database. Firewall will be used to isolate MIS from DCS for preventing illegal
network access.
4. System protection
In the plant network, there is a very import task for network design system
protection.
Virus, illegal network access, etc., many things will menace to network system. We will
use 3 security technology- Network firewall, Virus firewall and VLAN to protect network,
servers and terminals.
Network firewall
Network firewall is be used to isolate different part in network to prevent illegal
network access. It
has 2 Ethernet ports, which have different security level. According security access rule,
the data flow through the firewall can be just transferred from high security port to low
security port. In fact, Well define DCS is high security system, MIS is low security
system, so data can be just transferred from DCS to MIS, and cannot be transferred
from MIS to DCS, so the DCS is safe. This philosophy realizes data protection for DCS.
There is also NAT technology in the network firewall, internal network use NAT to
hide network
address from external network.. In this project, internet will not know MIS network
address in power plant, and MIS will not know DCS network address, so, the vicious
network attack will be disable due to there no object - object address is invisible.
Virus firewall
Virus firewall is to prevent virus. This is software with C/S structure, it will be
installed across all network. The server of virus firewall will be updated automatically
from internet, other terminal in the plant network will get the newest virus library from
the server. In this way, network will keep away from virus.
VLAN
VLAN technology is realized in switch, it like a independent network. In the network,
we will define all Sever in special VLAN; access to these servers will be controlled by
Access List in third level of switch. Whatever IP, other VLAN, who is not authorized,
cannot access these server. Using VLAN, Virus firewall (mentioned above), these
servers is safe surely.
5. Process monitor system
ABB will realize a process monitor system in MIS of this project for users to over
view important, selective Plant Graphics & data on real time basis, historical data &
trends, and results of calculation. The product is PGIM; it includes scanner, server and
client.
Process data acquisition (scanner)
Scanners to acquire data from a number of different distributed control systems. In
addition to this on-line data transfer, manual inputs into the system (for example for
laboratory data) are also possible.
The scanners permit a preprocessing of process data. Based on the incoming values, it
is possible to derive events (messages) or to sum quantities using limit value checks.
Counters can be implemented which will integrate, for instance, the operating hours or
determine a switching frequency. This occurs when the status of binary values change.
This preprocessing can be extended at any time by linking with DLL modules (Dynamic
Link Library).
Process Data Management (Server)
PGIM includes a process data server to store:
Signal descriptions.
Current process data (real-time data).
Historical process data (long-term storage).
Process data includes these stored values:
The time of acquisition.
The physical value.
Detailed status information (for example measured value disturbed).
This data is retrieved from the lower-level distributed control systems and generated in
PGIM. The process data server is the central element of PGIM, from which all the other
functions obtain their data. It provides a high degree of safety and processing speed.
Data can be compressed for long-term storage using, for example:
Average value.
Minimum value.
Maximum value.
Last value.
Tolerance band methods.
The tolerance band procedure is the default method of compression.
With interface functions (API), the databases can be opened for read and write access
from software applications. Common interfaces (such as OLE, SQL) ensure
compatibility with the usual office environment, and common Microsoft-Office products.
Process Data Evaluation (Clients)
Networked computer systems are required for the management of process data on
process data servers. They are also required for the distribution of data to the
respective technical departments. Commercial PCs can be used as client workstations
for data evaluation, operation and configuration.
The interconnected client-server structure minimizes the data flow in the network.
Various specialized clients (software applications) provide fast and individual services
for the specific tasks of plant management.
6. Performance calculation
ABB provides PGIM Technical performance Calculation for performance
calculation
in power plant to cover customer requirements.
The program Technical performance Calculation is used to determine online
characteristic parameters of the essential plant components in energy supply plants and
to compare these parameters with set points in order to achieve an improved operation
of the plant. Variables such as efficiency, contamination factors, warming up ranges,
etc. are calculated cyclically and compared to time-variant set points.
The calculation modules provided by ABB Utilities are implemented as C-functions
and combined in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). In addition to this, own modules can be
generated by the user and included as a DLL. MS-Excel, which has access to the Cfunctions, is used as configuration surface.
The input data required for the calculation are read out from the Information
Management System (PGIM), calculated within the Technical Calculation, and then
the results are written back into the PGIM real-time database. The representation of the
results is effected in the PGIM either in process displays or in line diagrams.
Configuration of the Calculation Server (CalcServer) is effected via Excel.
Subsequently, the finished configuration is transferred as a file to the CalcServer. Then
there will be no feedback from the CalcServer to Excel until, e.g., the configuration is
balanced or the calculations of the CalcServer are stopped. Thus, the CalcServer
continues to be controlled via MS-Excel. However, Excel has not to be opened during
the whole operating time of the CalcServer, but it can be quitted after configuration.
Maximo can automate processes that are repetitive or happen on regular intervals, for
example, preventive maintenance, periodic inspections, or reordering inventory items.
Maximo.s applications are grouped into modules. The applications in a module have
similar purposes, for example, applications related to purchasing are grouped together.
Some applications, such as Work Order Tracking, function individually, while others,
such as Precautions, create records designed to be used in conjunction with records
created in other applications. Depending on your job description and security
permissions, you may have access to some or all of the Maximo modules and
applications. Chapters that appear later in this guide describe the main modules and
applications in more detail.
2. Asset Management
As utilities refocus on the fundamentals, many are increasing their investment in work
management systems. The scope of work management projects is growing to include
supply chain management, condition-based maintenance, advanced planning and
scheduling for spare parts, automated workforce scheduling/optimization, and mobile
computing. All help to drive operational efficiency and raise the return on assets. Best
practices are being introduced and becoming integral to more efficient work
management in a number of ways. Best practices build integrity-based checks and
balances into the system. Standardizing processes throughout the enterprise improves
not only the asset performance but also worker productivity and safety.
Because power plant is an asset-intensive enterprise, asset performance is the basic
and key factor to ensure the successful management of a cetain enterprise. So how to
improve the asset management of a power plant is very important and the first task to
an excellent management.
Function Design
Track asset, associated costs, histories, and failures of a serialized piece of
asset as it moves throughout a plant or facility.
Build the asset hierarchy, an arrangement of buildings, departments, asset, and
subassemblies. It provides a convenient way to roll up maintenance costs so
that you can check accumulated costs at any level, at any time. It also makes it
easy to find a particular asset number.
Use the Drilldown to view location or asset information. You can locate and
select any piece of asset by scrolling down through a location hierarchy to a
particular location and then viewing the asset there, or by scrolling down through
an asset hierarchy.
Use Asset Modeling to determine relationships between a piece of asset, its
physical location and the systems with which it may be associated.
Analyze the potential for failure based on a piece of assets location and the
possible effects on systems with which it is associated. You can setup your own
failure code system for tracing and analysis.
Enquiry associate asset information, include cost, warranty, running status,
calculate total down time for a piece of asset.
Apply calendar to any asset, so you can estimate run time and planned down
time and idle time.
Asset: to view, modify, add, or delete the main record for an asset.
Spare Parts: to create the asset hierarchy and view the subassemblies and parts of an
asset.
Specifications: to enter or view the specification for the asset as recorded in the
Classifications application.
GPS SYSTEM
CEMS
G-CEM1000 CO Monitor
Basic Principles
The G-CEM1000 uses an in-situ probe set into a duct to measure CO
concentration in the flue gases. The probe includes a section that allows the
diffusion of flue gases into the measurement zone or the dispersion of
zero/purge air out of the tube and into the duct.
The analyser uses infrared gas cell correlation technology to determine the CO
levels in the flue gases as they diffuse into the measurement chamber. The
diffusion cell enables accurate measurements to be made in high flue gas dust
levels exceeding several gram/m3.
As with conventional cross-duct analysers, this probe configuration does not
require the extraction of a sample from the gas stream and makes its
measurement by analysing the way in which infrared radiation, transmitted
through the measurement section of the probe, is modified by the gases
present.
The transceiver unit containing the infrared source and detector system,
required to measure the received light energy after its passage through the gas,
is totally isolated from the flue gas. There is, therefore, no contact between the
analyser electronics and the flue gas. Correctly installed and commissioned,
this provides the opportunity to achieve very low maintenance factors and
totally eliminates any possibility of altering the composition of the flue gases to
be measured.
The probe is inclined downward at an angle of 5o to encourage condensation to
gather at the lower end and then dissipate in the stack. For smaller duct sizes,
the G-CEM1000 may be supplied with a shorter probe and in this case, as
build-up of condensate should be less, the probe may be mounted horizontally.
A Power Supply Unit (PSU) to accept mains input voltages and provide
48V supply for the analyser.
A Data Display Unit (DDU) into which is routed the cabling from the
PSU & junction box. The unit incorporates a LCD and may be mounted
local to the analyser or remotely.
A Junction Box through which is routed the cabling from the analyser &
DDU. The unit should be mounted local to the analyser.
Although G-CEM1000 monitors can be used for process gas analysis, they
have been primarily designed to monitor pollutant emissions from industrial
stacks. Legislation governing such emissions usually requires data to be
reported in very specific formats. G-CEM1000 analysers are therefore designed
to fulfil this requirement without the need for external data manipulation.
Although differing in detail from country to country, the essential demands of
legislation are common world-wide.
2. Analogue and Logic Outputs
The DDU is equipped with two 0/4-20mA analogue outputs, fully configurable
from the keypad.
Volt-free SPCO contact outputs (50V/1A) are provided for data valid and
measurement alarm levels.
3. Analyser Protection
G-CEM1000 monitors are designed for outdoor installation and all units are
constructed to IP68 standards, designed for ambient temperatures from -20o to
+60oC. For outdoor installation, an optional weather shield is recommended for
the transceiver.
Measurement Principles
CO absorbs infrared energy. The spectrum has the typical characteristics of a
diatomic gas and comprises a number of fine absorption bands. The CO
spectrum is centred on a wavelength of 4.7m.
This type of spectrum allows the principle of gas cell correlation to be employed
in the spectrographic analysis to determine the concentration of gas present.
If a sample of a high concentration of CO is inserted into an infrared beam, the
fine absorption bands in the CO spectrum will reach a saturation point where
they are capable of absorbing all the energy in the beam corresponding to
those wavelengths.
The presence of further amounts of gas will not result in any further absorption
and thus attenuation of the infrared beam, whereas without the high
concentration sample, even small amounts of CO would produce an attenuation
of the beam.
By taking a ratio of measurements of the attenuation of an infrared beam with
and without a high concentration sample of the gas being measured, a function
can be derived which is dependent solely upon the concentration of the gas to
be measured.
Because the technique uses a sample of the gas itself as a highly specific filter,
the measurement has extremely high immunity to other interfering gases.
2.1. Measurement Elements
An infrared beam is generated from a small, black-body emitter. Radiation from
this source is focussed by a lens onto a mirror. The reflected energy is received
and focussed by a second lens onto a highly sensitive infrared detector.
Immediately in front of the detector is a band-pass filter for CO. Immediately in
front of this filter is a wheel that generates two optical paths; one has a sealed
gas cell containing 100% pure CO; the other optical path is clear. The wheel is
rotated by a stepper motor at a constant speed of 1Hz, under the control of a
supervisory processor. As each of the two channels sweeps across the infrared
beam the processor digitises the detector output to produce two detector
signals, D1 measurement and D2 reference. These values are used to
compute parameters YCO that are unique functions of CO.
Detector Operation
The detector is a two-stage Peltier-cooled lead selenide element. Lead selenide
has a very high sensitivity to infrared energy. However, in order to obtain the
necessary response for the CO measurement at a wavelength of 4.7m, the
element must be cooled to a temperature of approximately -20oC. This is
achieved by the encapsulated thermoelectric Peltier cooler. The detector
element temperature is monitored by an integral thermistor.
The thermistor resistance is monitored by the supervisory processor and is
used to control the current, and hence the power, applied to the Peltier cooler to
achieve a stable detector temperature at around -20oC.
The detector itself is a photo-conductive device. A series of pre-amplifiers
mounted within a shielded metal enclosure ensures a stable, fast response
output suitable for digitisation by the processor.
Stepper Motor Control
The supervisory processor develops a frequency signal which is used to drive
the stepper motor. Accurate timing of this signal ensures that the gas cell wheel
operates at exactly 1Hz. By counting the pulses in the frequency drive to the
motor the processor knows exactly when to digitise the detector output signal in
order to obtain the two signals necessary for the calculation of CO
concentration.
Once each revolution, a small pin on the gas wheel interrupts an optical switch
to act as a reference point for the processor to begin counting pulses for the
next revolution of the wheel.
Diagnostic Data
Each second, detector values D1 measured and D2 reference, are measured
and smoothed to maximise signal-to-noise ratio. From the smoothed values the
following parameter is calculated :
YCO = 80000 SCCO . D1 measured/D2 reference
where SCCO is a calibration constant.
The transceiver unit containing the infrared source and detector system, required to
measure the received light energy after its passage through the gas, is totally isolated
from the flue gas. There is, therefore, no contact between the analyser electronics and
the flue gas. Correctly installed and commissioned, this provides the opportunity to
achieve very low maintenance factors and totally eliminates any possibility of altering
the composition of the flue gases to be measured.
The remaining components of a G-CEM4000 analyser are :
The Gas Control Unit (GCU) that controls the input of zero and span calibration gases
into the analyser. It contains the necessary compressed air filtration and drying
equipment to ensure high quality air supply for the zero calibration and probe purge
functions. The analyser power supply and Station Control Unit (SCU) are also
housed within the GCU. The function of the SCU is as an emissions data processing
unit, communications centre for the monitor and controller of the zero and span
calibration functions. The SCU also acts as a data logging device in which hours
emission and diagnostic data is stored for retrieval in the case of loss of main data
logging in the remote pc or DCS system.
A Junction Box through which is routed the cabling from the transceiver and the
temperature, pressure and oxygen sensors and the cable to the GCU. The unit
should be mounted local to the analyser.
The Central Data Controller (CDC) that accepts data from 1 to 16 SCUs and
processes the data for onward transmission to a remote pc or SCADA system.
Normalisation
Emission limits are always defined under standard conditions of temperature, pressure and
air dilution (air dilution is defined using the waste gas CO or O concentration). Most

legislation also requires concentrations to be reported on a dry basis; i.e. water vapour in
the flue gas is not permitted to dilute the measurement. The correction of the measurement
from as measured conditions to standard conditions is known as normalisation. Like all
cross-duct analysers, G-CEM4000 analysers measure concentrations of pollutant ppm
(parts per million by volume) or %, under the conditions at the measurement position.
This basic ppm measurement is always corrected for the duct pressure and presented as
vpm by the analyser. G-CEM4000 analysers have the capability for the outputs and display

opposed to a CO level, then an external O 4-20mA signal representing Oxygen levels can

be input into the G-CEM4000. All other normalising parameters i.e. pressure, temperature,
and CO are measured as standard by the G-CEM4000

Measurement Principle
Consider the two identical transceiver units positioned at either side of the flue
(or duct), unit 1 and unit 2. The transmissivity of light from unit 1 to unit 2 (unit 1
transmitting) can be represented by the equation :
12 = K1 (D21/D11) where :
K1 = gain constant to produce
= 1 (100% transmissivity, clean air condition)
D11 = the detector output at unit 1 (internal reference level)
D21 = the detector output at unit 2
The transmissivity of light from unit 2 to unit 1 (unit 2 transmitting) can also be
represented by the equation :
21 = K2 (D12/D22)
where :
K2 = gain constant to produce = 1
D12 = the detector output at unit 1
D22 = the detector output at unit 2 (internal reference level)
This is demonstrated schematically in Figure 3.
3. Measurement Principle
Gas flow is rarely laminar. Turbulence in the flow produces a series of swirling
eddies and vortices that are transported with the bulk flow. Infrared radiation,
emitted by a hot gas system, is characterised by a flickering signal resulting
from the swirling effect of these vortices. Two infrared detectors, placed a small
distance apart, will produce very similar flickering signals, but with a
displacement in time equivalent to the time taken for the bulk gas flow to carry
the vortices from the first detector to the second.
The V-CEM5000 uses a cross-correlation technique to measure this time
displacement and hence the flow. The two signals from the infrared transducer
units are defined as A(t) and B(t) as shown below.
The time-of-flight (and hence the flow velocity) of the naturally occurring turbulent
eddies within the flow stream can be determined by cross-correlating the two signals as
shown in the following equation :
where is a variable time delay imposed on the signal A(t). Using this function
a correlogram can be computed which has a maximum when the time-of-flight
and t are equal.
