    Turbine Stress Evaluator (Tse) Turbine Stress Evaluator)

    Uploaded by

    Prakash Choudhary
    The turbine stress evaluator (TSE) helps operators safely load and unload turbine components by measuring and computing temperature margins. It monitors the inner (Ti) and mean (Tm) temperatures of three channels - the high pressure stop valve, high pressure shaft, and intermediate pressure shaft. Using these temperatures along with actual load and speed, the TSE calculates available load margins to prevent overstressing the parts. It displays the temperature and load margins to assist operators.

    TURBINE STRESS EVALUATOR ( TSE )

    (CODE: BTPP/TURBINE/002/ TURBINE STRESS EVALUATOR)

    Turbine Stress Evaluator helps the operating engineer to


    load or unload the machine quickly without stressing its
    component parts.
    TSE has three channels, viz. HP Stop Valve (HPSV), HP Shaft
    (HPS) and IP Shaft (IPS).
    Thermocouples are employed at 50% depth and 100%
    depth to measure the temperature of the Turbine metal.
    The Steam touched surface temperature (ie the 100%
    depth) is termed as inner temperature (Ti) and that of the
    temperature at 50 % depth of wall is termed as Mean
    temperature (Tm).
    For the HPSV the Ti and Tm are directly measurable and so
    the actual process values of them are taken for computation.
    Whereas for the HPS and the IPS the Ti is taken from the
    temperature of the steam nearer to the Shaft.The Tm of the shaft
    – which is a rotating body- is computed from Ti, based on factors
    like shaft diameter and the thermal conductivity of the shaft
    material.
    Ti (inner) and Tm (mean) are measured or computed for the
    above three channels. Actual Load and actual Speed measured
    are also fed to TSE for the purpose of computing available
    margins. With these available inputs the function generators in
    TSE calculate the corresponding Load margins.
    Display and Alarm provisions are made in DCS for assisting
    the Board engineer.
    Ti and Tm for HPSV, HPS and IPS are displayed along with
    their upper and lower temperature margins. The minimum of

    these three temperature margins (HPSV/ HPS/ IPS) are the ones
    taken for consideration. Inbuilt function generators in TSE
    compare the allowed temperature difference corresponding to Tm
    and based on this, upper and lower margins are calculated.
    The Load margins are derived from these temperature
    margins by function generators in TSE. Load margins are
    displayed in DCS. Upper(Pu) and lower(Pl) Load margins can be
    applied to the generated load to know the amount of load that
    can be raised or lowered at any point of time.
    If the upper or lower load margin is exceeded, the
    corresponding steam temperature can be reduced or increased
    respectively, to remain within the allowable margin.
    For slight variations in margins it is advised to wait for
    sometime or to reduce the rate of change (loading/unloading) to
    keep the temperature margins within permissible limits.
    Some pre-calculated test values are provided for checking
    the healthiness of TSE functioning. This test facility can be made
    use of to check for any faults in the TSE measurement /
    computing channels.
