ERECTION OF CONDENSER 500 MW
Prepared by: Sibnath Ray, Ex Senior Manager (Construction)
Condenser base plates are placed on the condenser concreted pedestals after marking the
locations. Located positions are properly chipped for grouting them on the pedestals. GP- 1
Grouting Cement is used for fixing the packers over the Condenser Column.
Size of the packers: 140 mm x 200 mm x 32 mm. Total Nos. of packers on each pedestal: 64
Nos.
Condenser column width = 1200 mm. Transverse center distance between two column =
3575 mm + 3575 mm = 7150 mm.
Center line from Longitudinal direction of column = 6435 mm. Hence length of each column
= 6435 + 6435 = 12870 mm
Elevation of spring bottom plate (column top surface) = - 0. 67 Meter. Zero level consider
from 34.5 Meter MSL.
Free length of spring = 645 mm: Pre compressed length = 565 mm from works. Under
loaded condition = 492 mm. At site all spring assembly sets are pre compressed at 492 mm
with the help of hydraulic jack.
Each spring set is placed over 4 Nos. packers. Each side column has 16 Nos. springs. Hence
total Nos. of packers 16x4 = 64 Nos.
From Longitudinal center line of column, packers are placed as per dimensions. Front side
packers are placed 60 mm away from longitudinal center line. Hence there is a 60 mm
distance between turbine center line & condenser center line in longitudinal direction. From
turbine center line in longitudinal direction front side (switchyard end) condenser length is 60
mm less than rear side (boiler end).
[This type of arrangement has been made for two purposes. I) Condenser rear end lifted by
139 mm & front end lifted by 37 mm by inserting packer plates. Hence rear end is higher
than by front end by 102 mm. Initially 37 mm thick shims are placed over all packers before
placement of condenser base plate, to lift front & rear end of condenser by 37 mm.
Thickness of packers under spring sets in between front & rear spring sets will be calculated
by the principle of symmetrical triangles. Here 16 Nos. spring assemblies are provided at
each condenser concreted pedestal. Extreme front side spring assembly needs not to lift. Rest
15 Nos. spring assemblies are to be lifted. Lifting value will be gradually increased & amount
will be as mentioned below. [ 102 / 15 = 6.8: 2nd spring assembly to be lifted by 6.8 mm, 3rd
spring assembly to be lifted by 6.8 x 2 = 13.6 mm, 4th spring assembly to be lifted by 6.8 x 3
= 20.4 mm ………. 15th spring assembly to be lifted by 6.8 x 15 = 102 mm] All packers are
to be placed below the spring bottom plate. After final alignment all packers are welded
together along with base plate (32 mm thick) but top packer (5 mm thick) is kept free for
movement during condenser expansion. Now check the center line of condenser through
turbine longitudinal center line. Both turbine & condenser center line will coincide. 2) There
will not be any accumulated cooling water at rear water box after stopping the CW pump as
water will flow from rear water box to front water box due to downward slope towards front
end. During running condition weight of water at rear end will be more than front end. To
compensate the above load rear end spring coils capacity has been enhanced as per
requirement.]
Distance between two sets of packers is 780 mm (390 mm + 390 mm) in longitudinal
direction. Gap (in transverse direction) between two packers is 200 mm.
Fabrication of Bottom plates, dome wall, side wall plates etc. are done as per drawing.
Bottom plates, dome wall side, wall plates are checked for dimensions as per log sheet at 17
Meter Turbine Floor.
Bottom plates are in two segments. These two bottom plates are placed on prepared bed at 17
Meter TG floor for joining them by welding process. Surface ovality is checked by water tube
gauge. Tolerance will be with in ± 12 mm. Proper stiffener are welded over two bottom plates
to arrest bending during joining of two bottom plates by welding process. Stiffeners are
removed after placement in positions. After completion of welding turn up the bottom surface
at top. Hot Well part is welded on the bottom plate surface. Fixed all 32 Nos. spring
assemblies at their proper positions by tag welding process. Placed 37 mm thick shims over
all the packers of concreted condenser pedestals to lift front & rear end of condenser by 37
mm. Now total assembly is placed on the packers of concreted condenser pedestals by EOT
crane through switchyard end. Again check the ovality & should be with in ± 12 mm.
MTP (Main Tube Plate) front & rear end are in two segments. At 17 meter TG floor each
end MTP two segments are joined on the fabrication bed. Checked for ovality & straightness
at 16 points. Tolerance will be with in ± 12 mm for ovality. Placed front & rear end MTP
assemblies in position. Aligned the MTPs w.r.t. longitudinal & transverse direction of
condenser. Straightness also checked with the help of plumber. Proper fixers are arranged for
holding them in their positions. 3 Nos. wedge type keys are provided at both end of MTP for
micro shifting of MTP towards sidewise, front or rear side of MTP as the case may be for
alignment with other side MTP. Check the length between the two MTP at top, middle &
bottom at identical tube holes at twelve positions at each side as per log sheet. Again checked
the dimensions at diagonally top, bottom & diagonally bottom to top for proper alignment of
MTP. Again check the straightness by the plumber at convenient places.
Condenser side walls (Turbine side & Generator side) are in six segments. [Height of side
wall gradually decreases from front end (switchyard end) to rear end (boiler end). Front end
is 102 mm higher than by rear end. After lifting of condenser towards boiler end by 102 mm,
elevation of side wall will be same at front & rear end of side wall.]
Front side (towards switchyard side) three segments are placed on prepared bed at 17 Meter
TG floor for joining by welding process. Proper stiffener are tag welded over three side wall
plates to arrest bending during joining of two bottom plates by welding process. Rear side
(towards boiler side) end two segments are placed on prepared bed at 17 Meter TG floor for
joining by welding process. Proper stiffener are tag welded over two side wall plates to arrest
bending during joining of two bottom plates by welding process.
Front (3 pieces) & rear (2 pieces) welded side walls of one side (either turbine end or
generator end) are placed on the bottom plate in their positions. These side walls are aligned
along the longitudinal & transverse direction of condenser. Any ovality found over side plate
then pull that part through rope & locked with the bottom plate. In this process side wall
straightness can be corrected. Check the space for middle part of side wall. This space is in-
between front & rear welded side walls. Straightness of side wall is checked by plumber.
After proper alignment tag welded the front & rear side walls with bottom plate. Proper fixers
are arranged for holding them in their positions. Top of the above side walls are also properly
supported. Middle part of side wall is having cutting allowance. After final measurement cut
the middle part of side wall. Now placed middle part of side wall in between front & rear side
walls. After proper alignment with front & rear side walls, middle part of side wall is tag
welded with bottom plate, front & rear side walls. This condenser side wall is aligned along
the longitudinal & transverse direction of condenser. Straightness of side wall is checked by
plumber. Now middle part of side wall is welded with front & rear side walls after arranging
proper stiffeners.
In the same process other side wall of condenser is welded with bottom plate. Distance
between two side walls are to be checked at 3 to 4 positions (Top, Middle & Lower part of
condenser) for better alignment. Angle stiffeners are tag welded & pulled through ropes to
make straightness of side wall. After proper alignment, four corners of side wall plates &
Main Tube Support Plates are tag welded.
Mark the positions of Tube Support Plates (Turbine end & Generator end) on the I - Section
beams of bottom plates as per drawing. Thickness of TSP is 16 mm. Prepare 17 mm slots
with the help of two Nos. flat over I beam by tag welding process. Similar way prepare 17
mm slots over both side walls. Placed T S Plates one by one on the respective slots through
boiler side end. In this manner placed the 4 nos. TSP in slots. Hold the 4 Nos. T S Plates by
tie rods as per log sheet. Next placed the 5 nos. TSP in slots & hold them by another tie rods
as per log sheet. Centering of TSP tube holes is done by piano wire. Take the readings at top,
bottom, left & right of piano wire. Bottom reading should be less than 0.5 mm than top
reading as during welding of TSP with condenser I section of bottom plate TSP will be pulled
towards bottom by 0.5 mm. In this manner TSP tube will centered w.r.t piano wire. . Both
end condenser side wall reading of piano wire should be -0.5 mm than the other side reading.
During welding of TSP with condenser side wall TSP will be pulled towards side wall by 0.5
mm. In this manner TSP tube will centered w.r.t piano wire. During centering of tube holes
TSP may be lifted up or lower down as the case may be. Lowering can be done by cutting the
lower part of TSP. Lifting up can be done by a wedge key. Sidewise shifting can be done by
pulling or pushing the TSP as the case may be.
In this manner centering of 9 Nos. TSP from boiler end of condenser are to be completed.
Vacuum pipes are in three segments. Placed the boiler end vacuum pipe through Tube
Support Plates in positions. Tag welded the vacuum pipe with T S Plates by argon welding to
avoid deposition of welding materials inside the tube. Middle part of vacuum pipe is kept in
a convenient place on the bottom plate. Now positioned front end vacuum pipe (switchyard
side) in position. Extreme end TSP rear end flat is tag welded over I - beam of bottom plate &
two side walls in positions for placement of extreme end TSP. Placed extreme end TSP in
position through front end vacuum pipe. After placement of extreme end TSP, its front end
flat is tag welded for holding TSP in position. Centering of TSP through piano wire is done.
Method is same as mentioned above.
For placement of next TSP adopt the process as above. In this manner placed 4 Nos. TS
Plates over front end vacuum pipe (switchyard side).
Hold these 4 Nos. T S Plates by tie rods as per log sheet. Tie rods of next 3 Nos. TSP also
placed in the front end of TSP & kept them very close to previous 4 Nos. tie rods. This
method is adopted as there is not enough space for inserting tie rods of next 3 Nos. TSP.
Next placed the 3 nos. TSP in slots through front end vacuum pipe. Now tie rods marked for
next 3 Nos. tie rods are pulled out from previous 4 Nos. TSP & placed them in their proper
positions in the next 3 Nos. TSP.
In between 9th & 10th TSP (counting from boiler end) gap between tie rods are arc welded by
a short piece of tie rods. Other end of tie rods are also arc welded. Tie rods & TSP are welded
by argon welding. Main tube plate & tie rods are arc welded.
Total Nos. of tie rods 32 x 2 (Turbine side & Generator side) = 64 Nos. 4 + 1(small) = 5 Nos.
pieces are welded in position to form one tie rod.
In between 9th & 10th TSP (counting from boiler end) gap between front & rear vacuum pipe
is argon welded by the Middle part of vacuum pipe.
Insert two Nos. tubes at top & bottom of TSP (each Turbine side & Generator side) & rotate
tubes through hands during welding of TSP with bottom plate & side walls. First weld TSP
holding down flat with bottom plate & side plate is done. Afterwards welding is done with
flat with TSP. During welding process if pulling of TSP is more than the desired value then
tubes through TSP cannot be rotated. At this situation stopped welding & do the welding in
opposite direction. By this operation pulling of TSP will be in opposite direction & tubes can
be rotated through TSP.
Wall side welding to be done from top to bottom. For proper welding, welding starts 6’’
below from top of TSP & gradually goes up of TSP. Next welding process will be similar as
above. In this way complete the side wall welding with TSP. Four corners of MTP &
condenser side walls are welded. Side walls are also properly welded.
Rear end (Boiler side) is to be lifted by 102 mm than the front end. Thickness of packers
over spring sets in between front & rear spring sets will be calculated by the principle of
symmetrical triangles. Size of packers at each spring assembly is mentioned earlier. All
packers are to be placed below the spring bottom plate after lifting by hydraulic jacks. After
final alignment all packers are welded together along with the base plates (32 mm thick) but
top packer (5 mm thick) is kept free for movement during condenser expansion. Now check
the center line of condenser through turbine longitudinal center line. Both turbine &
condenser center line will coincide.
At middle part of condenser all the Tube Support Plates of each end are first welded by
anchor rods from top end to bottom end. Two Nos. each from turbine end & generator end ie
total 4 Nos. anchor rods are clubbed together & welded by anchor plate for rigidity.
Total Nos. of anchor rod: [TSP side 10 Nos. + TSP top 5 Nos]. x 2 (Turbine side & Generator
side) = 30 Nos. Each piece is formed by welding 5 piecess (4 + 1 small) in position.
Baffle plates are properly placed top the vacuum pipe over TSP & welded by argon welding.
In this zone presence of water vapor is almost nil as almost all steam has been condensed to
steam. Residue part will contain air & non-condensable gas only.
Now ready for condenser tube insertion. For easy passing of condenser cleaning ball through
condenser tubes, tubes are not cut towards entry point of ball. Hence lower parts of condenser
tubes are cut towards boiler end & for upper part tubes are cut towards switchyard end.
Condenser tubes are expanded at both ends Main Tube Plate by tube expander.
Dome wall is to be erected between condenser top 4 side walls with LP 4 side walls through a
neck piece. MTP side two dome walls are placed in positions over MTP. Top of dome walls
are aligned with the bottom of the LP side walls in vertical plane. In this position dome walls
is fixed by proper fixtures. MTP side neck joint is at top end (near to LP girder). LP side
walls (Turbine end & Generator end) are hanging through LP girder & radially locked by the
guide pin. Positions of guide pins are in pedestals No. 3 & 4. Neck joint of these two side is
done below the guide pin. Hence these two side dome wall height is small compare to MTP
sides. Condenser side wall end dome walls are placed in positions & aligned with the bottom
of the LP side walls in vertical plane. . Dome wall stiffeners are welded as per drawing. LP
Heater – 1 is also placed in position & erected as per drawings.
Condenser fill test is done by filling the water above 6” of top of condenser tube & hold it for
72 hrs. Checked for any leakage through any condenser tube, etc. If any leakage found then
rectify & again hold for 72 hrs.
Condenser water box test: Fill the condenser tube side with water & raised pressure at 7.5
kg/cm2 & hold it for 30 minutes. Test is completed if no pressure drop occurs.
Before condenser spring floating all pipes & any types of supports are to be disconnected
from condenser. Now condenser springs are floated. Checked the gap between condenser
dome wall neck & LP side wall neck. According to the gap prepare neck pieces. After
adjustment dome walls are properly arc welded. Now neck pieces are placed & welded 1st
with the LP side walls as per welding schedule & then with dome walls after maintain 3 to 5
mm welding gap. Hence condenser springs are loaded with the weight of empty of condenser
& LPH – 1. During turbine running condition weight of all pipes, water & steam are taken by
the LP Girders through LP side walls.
Important:
Before emptying cooling water through condenser, all condenser springs are to be locked to
avoid any type of lifting of condenser (It happens very rarely).

viii) Change over solenoid valve No. 1 & blocked. Change over solenoid valve No. 2
& flows under the piston of change over valve & lifts the piston
32 kg/cm2 control fluid (filtered) flows under the pilot piston through auxiliary pilot valve.
Unfiltered flows under the piston of main pilot.
Resetting of system by Start Up Fluid & Aux. Start Up Fluid
Bring Starting & Load Limiting Device to closed position (0%) from 100% open position. It
will push the bellow of Speeder gear through lever. This action will open the drain port of
auxiliary follow up piston in maximum condition.
8 kg/cm2 control fluid will create start up fluid & auxiliary start up fluid through Starting &
Load Limiting Device.
Startup fluid will flow to top of Test Valve of stop valve through test solenoid valve No. 1 &
push down the piston of test valve.
Auxiliary start up fluid will flow under the piston of Hand Trip Gear & Main Trip Gear
through Reset Solenoid Valve. This action will lift the pistons of Hand Trip Gear & Main
Trip Gear. Auxiliary start up fluid will also flow to Over Speed Actuator through Over Speed
Trip Test Device & reset the system if required. Auxiliary start up Fluid will reset Hand Trip
Gear, Main Trip Gear & Over Speed Actuator.
Control fluid will create Trip Fluid & Auxiliary Trip Fluid through Main Trip Gear.
Auxiliary Trip Fluid will flow to Hand Trip Gear, Remote Trip Solenoid Valve (RTS) &
Over Speed Actuator through Over Speed Trip Test Device & blocked.
Trip Fluid will flow 1st to Change Over Valve.
From Change Over Valve trip fluid flows to:-
1) Test Solenoid Valve 1 & 2 and blocked.
2) Top of actuator of ESV & IV through Test Valve. This action will lower down the
piston against spring force.
3) Auxiliary follow up piston & follow up piston create auxiliary secondary fluid
& secondary fluid respectively. Initially draining through theses pistons is
maximum, pressure of auxiliary secondary fluid & secondary fluid is minimum.
Secondary fluid flows to the Auxiliary Pilot of HP & IV Control Valves & just
lower down their piston of Auxiliary Pilot.
4) Trim device switched on.
During fly out of nut of emergency governor when turbine speed increases beyond its limit,
fly out nut will push the piston of Over Speed Trip actuator & release the auxiliary trip fluid
to drain. This action will also drain the trip fluid & closed the ESV, IV & Control Valves.
Whenever RTS energized for tripping of TG set through boiler, turbine, generator relay etc.,
auxiliary trip fluid will drain through RTS. This action will also drain the trip fluid & closed
the ESV, IV & Control Valves.
If Hand Trip Gear pressed downwards during any emergency condition arises, auxiliary trip
fluid will drain through Hand Trip Gear drain port. This action will also drain the trip fluid &
closed the ESV, IV & Control Valves.
Opening of ESV & IV:-
Slowly open the Starting & Load Limiting Device (SLLD) up to 50%. This action will open
the drain port of startup fluid & auxiliary start up fluid through SLLD.
Auxiliary start up fluid will drain through SLLD & pistons of Hand Trip Gear, Main Trip
Gear & Over Speed Actuator retained their position as they are in equilibrium condition.
Test valve main piston will be lifted up by spring force. This action will allow draining of trip
fluid from top of ESV & IV actuator & flow of trip fluid under the bottom of ESV & IV
actuator piston. Actuator piston of ESV & IV lifted up & lifts the ESV & IV piston for full
opening of ESV & IV.
Opening of Control Valves of HP & IV to reach turbine speed 2850 rpm:-
Open the SLLD 50% to 100%. This action will release the linkage from bellow & bellow will
come down. Speeder gear spring will lower down the leaver. This lever will lower down the
linkage of aux. follow up piston & decrease the draining port of auxiliary follow up piston.
Auxiliary secondary fluid pressure increases. Increased auxiliary secondary fluid pressure
lowers down the pilot piston of Hydraulic Governor. Control fluid flows on the top of the
main piston of Hydraulic Governor. This action lowers down the piston & lowered the
linkage of follow up piston of Hydraulic Governor. Draining through follow up piston
decreases. Secondary fluid pressure (for HP & IP) through Hydraulic Governor increases.
Feedback linkage lifted the piston & blocked the incoming port of control fluid of Hydraulic
Governor. In this condition secondary fluid pressure will be fixed till any change in auxiliary
secondary fluid pressure occurred.
As the secondary oil pressure increased it lowers further the piston of aux. pilot of
servomotor of control valve. Filtered 32 kg/cm2 oil will flow to the upper of pilot piston of
servomotor of control valve. As pilot piston moves down, main pilot will lift up. Unfiltered
32 kg/cm2 oil will flow under the main piston of servomotor of CV. Control valve lifted up.
As main piston lifted up it will lower down the main pilot through cam arrangement till it
blocked further entry of unfiltered 32 kg/cm2 oil under the main piston. Steam flows through
HP & IP control valves & turbine speed increases. When speed increases 2850 rpm primary
oil (lubricating oil) flows under the bellow of speeder gear. Speeder gear linkage lifted up &
decreases the auxiliary secondary fluid pressure. This action lowers the pressure of
secondary oil & restrict further opening of control valves. Over speed testing trip oil
(lubricating oil) also flows to over speed test device under blocked condition. Increased HP
secondary oil pressure lifted the piston of servomotor of CRH NRV. Control fluid flows in
reverse direction to the actuator of CRH NRV & opens the CRH NRV.
Speeder Gear raised to 100% for reaching 3000 rpm, synchronization & full loading of
machine:
As speeder gear raised 0% to 100% gradually, rotor speed will reach from 2850 rpm to 3000
rpm. Machine will be synchronize. After synchronization gradually open the speeder gear.
Load will increased gradually. When load increases above 50 MW, trim device solenoid
valve de-energized & trimming action withdrawn as hydraulic fluid drained through this
valve. Gradually machine will achieved full load.
LOAD REDUCING BY EHG:
As proportionate valve of EHG energized, its piston will be lower down & control fluid will
lifted up the follow-up piston lever & secondary fluid of HP & IP will reduce. Control valve
of HP & IP will be closed till load reduces to 300 MW. Load can be increased or decreased
with the help of EHG.
Controlling Mode:
If control is hydraulic governor then speeder gear is minimum position & electric controller is
in maximum position. If control is electro-hydraulic governor then speeder gear is at
maximum position & electric control is in minimum position.
AUTAMATIC TURBINE TESTER (ATT): PROTECTION DEVICE:-
Main Trip Valve & Remote Trip Solenoid:
First energized change over solenoid valve No. 1 & 2. Solenoid valve No. 1 lowers its piston
& control fluid will flows on the top of the piston of change over valve. 2nd solenoid valve

Prepared by: Sibnath Ray, Ex Senior Manager (Construction)
Civil department will hand over the TG top deck to Mechanical erection department.
They will give the elevation of concreted pedestals (1, 2, 3 & 4). They also marked the
Center line of TG in longitudinal direction & Center line of LP in transverse direction.
These two center lines are transferred to concreted pedestals of condenser. Civil
department handed over one Master Elevation Level Plate near pedestal No. 4 whose
elevation is 18 Meter as per site drawing. This is the elevation of #4 pedestal parting
plane. Mechanical erection department will cross check the all concreted pedestals
elevation & center lines & sleeves center line distances.
Now all concreted pedestals top will be chipped by chisel for better gripping during
concreting. Blue matching of all four pedestals anchor plates w.r.t sole plates
(located at pedestal bottom) was done. More than 80% blue matching achieved & 0.05
mm filler gauge not passed. Each pedestal has 4 Nos. sole plate & anchor plate for
tightening pedestal by foundation anchor bolts.
Blue matching of LP Base Plate (Front Right, Front Left & Rear Right, Rear Left) anchor
plates w.r.t sole plates (located at pedestal bottom) was done. More than 80% blue
matching achieved & 0.05 mm filler gauge not passed. Each LP Base Plate has 3 Nos.
sole plate & anchor plate for tightening LP Base Plate by foundation anchor bolts.
Before placing 4 Nos. pedestals over concreted pedestals following activities are done at
turbine floor. Clean all pedestals, remove all bearing assembly. Dimension of bearings are
checked. Shims under bearing pads are recorded. 0.03 mm shims should not pass through
top & bottom halves of bearing parting plane after tightening the bolts. Pedestals ½ bore
& full bore readings are also recorded.
Now placed 4 Nos. pedestals over concreted pedestals. Foundation anchor bolts are
placed through foundation pipe sleeves. With respect to turbine center line piano wire, 4
Nos. pedestals are centered. LP Base Plates (Front 2 Nos. & Rear 2 Nos.) are placed in
position & foundation anchor bolts are placed through foundation pipe sleeves. With
respect to turbine center line piano wire in longitudinal direction & Center line of LP
piano wire in transverse direction LP Base Plates are centered. With the help of pedestals
jack bolts elevation of 4 Nos. pedestals are adjusted. Temporary packers are placed under
pedestals for centering & leveling. Preliminary elevation is checked by water tube gauge.
Accurate elevation is checked by water pot depth micrometer. Placed water pot over
Master Elevation Level Plate, parting plane of pedestals Nos. 1, 2, 3 & 4. 1st measured
the depth of water level at Master Elevation Level Plate by depth micrometer. Then take
the readings of other water pot placed over pedestals 1, 2, 3 & 4. Elevation of Master
Elevation Level Plate & pedestals Nos. 4 is same. During the above test proper cover to
be arranged to arrest wind flow & noise also. Preferable time to conduct the test is early
in the morning (4:30 hrs. to 6 hrs.).
Elevation of # 4 pedestal elevation is 18 Mtr. as per drawing & this reading is consider as
00 reference with respect to other pedestals. Elevation of pedestal parting planes as per
drawing value is #4 → 0.00 mm: #3 → 3.38 mm: #2 → 5.02 mm: #1 → 6.53 mm.
With the help of base plate jack bolts elevation (sitting area of plum key on LP Base Plate
& its elevation is 17.200 Meter as per site drawing) of LP Base Plates are adjusted with
the help of water pot depth micrometer. Now distance between bearing pedestals, LP
Base Plates & other dimensions are adjusted as per log sheet.
Final ½ bore readings & center line of pedestals bores are checked. If half bore error
reading value is more than ± 0.2 mm, then correction is required, otherwise ignore the
reading.
HALF BORE ERROR
Half bore readings are taken at pedestals No. 1 (only rear end), 2 (front & rear end),
3(front & rear end), 4(front & rear end).
Pedestal top half is placed over bottom half. By inside micrometer bore reading is
recorded in vertical position. Half bore reading is the half of the above reading. This
reading is known as calculated reading. Now take the bottom half reading in vertical
position. This reading is known as actual reading. Difference of the above two reading
should be zero. If readings are different, then this difference reading value is known as
Half Bore Error. If actual reading is less than calculated reading then rotor will be lifted
up when rotor will be placed on bearing as bearing base is prepared as per calculated half
bore reading. For centering, pedestal of this end is required to be lowered by screwing
jack bolts. In other case action will be just reversed. If difference reading value is more
than ± 0.2 mm, then correction is required, otherwise ignore the reading.
Now tightening pedestals by foundation anchor bolts. Small size gravels are places inside
the all pipe sleeves which dampens the vibrations.
Now bearing pedestals are ready for grouting. Prepared proper shuttering arrangement
around pedestals & LP base plates so that liquid concrete material should not leaked.
Material used for grouting is PIDILITE PAGEL V1 ratio →pagel v1 (1) : water
(0.125). Poured prepared concrete mixture on the pedestals & LP base plates one by one.
At top surface of concreting small gravels are placed so that surface crack should not
occur. Curing time 20 days (minimum) to 28 days (maximum).
After completion of grouting, elongation of the foundation anchor bolts of bearing
pedestals & LP base plates are done as per design value. Again checked all the
dimensions & elevations of bearing pedestals & LP base plates. Half bore error readings
of four pedestals are also checked. All the readings should be with in drawing value.

After coupling bolt full tightening there will be minimum 2 to 3 mm gap between spigot
& recess of each coupling. After placing bearing bottom halves, centering & elevation
checking of rotors are to done one by one. Placed bearing No. 1 & 2 on their bottom
supports & centered them w.r.t piano wire.
Now ready for turbine erection.
Placed HP module on pedestals No. 1 & 2. Four side horns of bottom cylinder are
supported on their respective plum packers. Release HP rotor locks. Now HP rotor is
supported on bearings & HP cylinder assembly is supported on plum packers.
Centering of HP Cylinder w.r.t Rotor:
Bearings (1 & 2) are already centered. Centering of HP casing (front & rear side) is done
w.r.t rotor by dial gauge. Rotate the HP shaft & record the dial gauge readings.
Adjustment if required is done by adding shims or removing shims under the lubro-right
plum packer as the case may be with the help of hydraulic jacks. Suppose front top dial
gauge reading is more than bottom. Then front bottom is more open than top. Suppose
difference reading is 0.5 mm. Then 0.25 mm shim is to be added under front two side
plum packer for adjustment.
Roll Check of HP Cylinder for minimum radial clearance:
Placed 4 Nos. hydraulic jacks under the 4 horns of HP cylinder in vertical position for
lifting up & down of cylinder & kept 4 Nos. dial gauge at 4 corner of HP cylinder in
vertical position for watching the movement of cylinder. Rotate the rotor with the help of
EOT crane/ by manual. Lift all the four hydraulic jacks till they touch the cylinder horns.
This will be sense when hydraulic jacks are loaded. Now lift all the four jacks in equal
amount until force requirement to rotate the rotor increases. Stopped shaft rotation
immediately. This reading should be 0.03 to 0.045 mm. The dial gauge reading is the
minimum bottom radial clearance. Now remove shims under 4 Nos. plum keys. Lower
down all 4 Nos. hydraulic jacks in equal amount until force requirement to rotate the
rotor increases. Stopped shaft rotation immediately. This reading should be 0.03 to 0.045
mm. The dial gauge reading is the minimum top radial clearance. Top & bottom radial
clearance should be 0.70 to 0.80 mm. Now lifted all the four jacks by 0.2 mm above the
cylinder original position. Placed shims in position & lower down the jacks to shift the
cylinder load on the palm packers. All the four dial gauge readings should show zero.
Placed 4 Nos. hydraulic jacks at 4 sides of cylinder in horizontal position for shifting of
cylinder left & right side & kept 4 Nos. dial gauge at 4 sides of HP cylinder in horizontal
position for watching the movement of cylinder. 1st release RH side 2 Nos. hydraulic
jacks & operate 2 Nos. LH side hydraulic jacks to shift HP turbine module from LH side
to RH side. Operate hydraulic jacks until force requirement to rotate the rotor increases.
Stopped shaft rotation immediately. This reading should be 0.03 to 0.045 mm. The dial
gauge reading is the minimum left side radial clearance. Similar away Shift HP cylinder
from RH side to LH side until force requirement to rotate the rotor increases. Stopped
shaft rotation immediately. This reading should be 0.03 to 0.045 mm. The dial gauge
reading is the minimum right side radial clearance. LH & RH side radial clearance
should be 0.70 to 0.80 mm. Now return back the HP cylinder in original position.
For adjustment at top & bottom radial clearance shims under 4 Nos. plum packers to be
added or removed as the case may be.
After adjustment of LH & RH side radial clearance prepare 2 Nos. radial keys each for
front & rear end as per available gap. Both side key clearances will be maintained 0.02
to 0.04 mm.
Bump Check of HP Rotor:
Before bump check rotor is to be fixed at bearing No. 2. This can be achieved by
maintaining equal gap at both end thrust bearing pad spaces. HP cylinder is also to be
fixed by maintaining distance between coupling face & cylinder face as per log sheet.
Rotate individual HP rotor by manual & shift rotor towards front pedestal with the help
of jack bolt. Then bring the rotor in original position & again shift rotor in opposite
direction with the help of jack bolt. As soon as requirement of force to shift rotor
increases then stopped shifting. The summation of the above two dial gauge reading is
the minimum clearance between the moving blade & static blade. This test is known as
Bump Check. Reading towards front pedestal is positive & away from front pedestal is
negative. Positive reading should be 2.5 mm & negative reading should be 1.9 mm.
Summation of both reading should be 4.4 to 4.5 mm.
HORN DROP TEST for HP
This test is conducted for checking the loading of all four corners of bottom outer
cylinder.
Placed 4 Nos. dial gauge at four corners of the cylinder in vertical position. Now operate
hydraulic jack at one corner & lift 0.3 to 0.35 mm, so that shim over plum packer can be
removed. Now lowered down the above jack. Hence this corner will be lowered a little
bit from its previous position. Now record the diagonally opposed dial gauge reading
also. This corner may be lifted to some extent. This reading will be positive. This dial
gauge reading should be deducted from the previous dial gauge reading. This reading is
the final reading for this corner. In this manner take the other three corners of bottom
cylinder reading. Correction is done for LH & RH readings of front and rear cylinder.
Suppose cylinder front LH & RH reading is - 0.8 & - 0.6 mm respectively. Then cylinder
front LH is more loaded than front RH cylinder. For correction add shim at front RH
side after taking out from front LH side of cylinder. Thickness of shim will be 0.8 – 0.6
= 0.2 mm/4 = 0.05 mm. Hence 0.05 mm shims to be withdrawn from front LH side of
cylinder & add this to front RH side cylinder. If difference of reading is below 0.1 mm
then correction is not required.
Centering of IP Cylinder:
Placed IP bottom outer cylinder on pedestals No. 2 & 3 with the help of 4 Nos. jack bolts
fitted at four corners of IP bottom cylinder. During boxed up of IP cylinder these jack
bolts are removed after placing required shims under plum packers. Elevation of parting
plane of IP bottom outer cylinder towards both the pedestals is checked with the help of
dial gauge. Pedestals & IP bottom outer cylinder elevation will be same. Hence IP front
end parting plane elevation & # 2 pedestal elevation and IP rear end parting plane
elevation & # 3 pedestal elevations is same. Adjustment of elevation is done with the
help of jack bolts fitted at four corners of cylinder. Centering of IP bottom cylinder is
done w.r.t piano wire. 1st towards both side seal bore & afterwards middle part of
cylinder. Placed outer top cylinder over outer bottom cylinder. Alternate cylinder flange
bolts are tightened & checked the parting plane joint with 0.05 mm filler gauge & it

keyways with the help of 4 Nos. jack bolts. Elevation of bottom inner & outer cylinder
will be same & adjustment is done by four Nos. jack bolts. These jack bolts are screwed
with IP bottom inner cylinder lugs & placed on the keyways of outer cylinder & by
screwing or unscrewing IP inner bottom cylinder can be flushed with the IP outer bottom
cylinder. At the time of IP cylinder boxed up 4 Nos. packers are prepared as per gap
between IP bottom outer cylinder & IP inner top cylinder horns. Placed these packers in
positions & remove these 4 Nos. jack bolts. Placed inner top cylinder over inner bottom
cylinder. Alternate cylinder flange bolts are tightened & checked the parting plane joint
with 0.05 mm filler gauge & it should not pass. Checked the ovality at front & rear ends
of IP inner cylinder where rotor passes through them. If ovality persists then remove 4
Nos. dowel pins from outer top bottom or inner top bottom cylinder as the case may be
& correction is done after loosening the cylinder parting plane fasteners. In general at the
time of final boxed up these dowel pins are removed after heat tightening of IP cylinder
parting plane fasteners. Remove IP inner top cylinder. Placed bearing No. 3 at pedestal

Axial alignment of HP – IP Rotor:
HP & IP coupling are coupled by 4 Nos. loose bolts. Nuts are also loose fitted. HP
coupling recess & IP coupling spigot are in their position. Now checked the axial gap at
top, bottom, left & right position at zero degree & recorded the readings. Now rotate the
HP – IP rotor at 90 degree by an Iron Rod through IP rear end & checked the axial gap at
top, bottom, left, right position & recorded the readings. Similar way rotates the HP – IP
rotor at 180 & 270 degree & recorded all the readings. Then take average of the above
readings. Difference between Top, Bottom & Left, Right reading should be within 0.03
mm.
Adjustment: If reading is more, then adjustment can be done by changing the shims
under bearing bottom pads as the case may be.
Centering of IP cylinder w.r.t rotor:
Both inner & outer top cylinders are properly placed in positions. Centering of IP casing
(front & rear side) is done w.r.t rotor by dial gauge. Rotate the HP – IP shaft together &
record the dial gauge readings. Adjustment if required is done by adding shims or
removing shims under the lub-wright plum packer as the case may be with the help of
hydraulic jacks. Suppose front top dial gauge reading is more than bottom. Then front
bottom is more open than top. Suppose difference reading is 0.5 mm. Then 0.25 mm

After final adjustment of side radial clearance prepare radial keys at front & rear side.
Both side clearances will be 0.06 to 0.08 mm. This is situated at LP outer casing bottom
side.
Girder for both sides is locked by axial key at IP cylinder end. Clearance is maintained
for each key is 0.15 mm.
Horn Drop Test for LP cylinder:
As volume & weight of LP cylinder is huge Horn Drop Test is done on individual corner
& correction is done for individual corner only. At each corner there are two Nos. plum
packers. At each corner one by one shim over plum packer is removed with the help of
hydraulic jack. After releasing hydraulic jack record the dial gauge reading. Correction
method for individual corner is same as in the case of HP & IP cylinder. Correction will
be done if difference of reading is above 0.1 mm.
Bump check for LP cylinder:
Rotor is to be fixed at bearing No. 2 by maintain equal gap at both side of thrust bearing
pad. Cylinder is fixed by axial locking keys (Prepare equal thickness of keys & maintain 0.15
mm clearance). Now remove axial keys. Placed 2 Nos. hydraulic jacks each at LH & RH of
front & rear end of LP cylinder for shifting cylinder axially. Placed 4 Nos. dial gauge at 4
ends for recording movement of cylinder. HP – IP – LP couplings are coupled by 4 Nos.
loose bolts & nuts are properly tightened. Now rotate the HP – IP – LP rotor by LP rear end
through EOTcrane sling at pedestal # 4. Release two Nos. hydraulic jack at front end &
operate other 2 Nos. hydraulic jacks from rear end. As soon as requirement of force to rotate
rotor increases then stopped shifting of cylinder. The dial gauge reading is the minimum
positive reading.Next release 2 Nos. hydraulic jacks at rear end & operate front end hydraulic
jack. Shift the cylinder from IP end to Generator end till dial gauge reading shows zero. Then
further shift cylinder towards Generator end by hydraulic jacks till force requirement to
rotate rotor increases. This is the minimum negative reading. This test is known as Bump
Check. Reading towards IP side is +ve & towards Generator side is –ve. Positive reading
should be 32 mm & negative reading should be 5.2 mm . Summation of both reading should
be 37.5 mm.
Steam Path Clearance for LP:
1st fixed the rotor at bearing No. 2. This is the zero – zero position of rotor. In case of
LP cylinder, Cylinder is fixed by maintaining equal gap on both sides at axial keyways. Now
record radial & axial clearance as per log sheets.
Rotor is locked at Brg. No. 2. (Combined journal cum thrust bearing)
HP outer cylinder is locked axially at pedestal # 2 by two Nos. keys each at LH & RH
end of pedestal. Clearance is maintained for each key is 0.15 mm.
HP outer cylinder is locked radially by 2 Nos. radial keys each for front & rear end of
HP cylinder. Each side key clearances will be maintained 0.02 to 0.04 mm.
IP outer cylinder is locked axially at pedestal # 2 by two Nos. keys each at LH & RH end
of pedestal. Clearance is maintained for each key is 0.15 mm.
IP outer cylinder is locked radially by 2 Nos. radial keys each for front & rear end IP
cylinder. Each side key clearances will be maintained 0.02 to 0.04 mm.
IP inner cylinder is locked axially at outer cylinder keyways (towards HP end). Each
side key clearances will be maintained 0.02 to 0.04 mm.
LP outer cylinder is locked axially at IP end girder keyways where LP lugs rest.
Clearance is maintained for each key is 0.15 mm.
LP outer cylinder is locked radially by radial keys at front & rear side. Both side
clearances will be 0.06 to 0.08 mm. This is situated at LP outer casing bottom side.
LP inner cylinder is locked axially at outer cylinder keyways (towards IP end). Each side
key clearances will be maintained 0.06 to 0.08 mm.
LP side wall (Turbine side & Generator side) are radially locked by guide pins.
Clearance is
maintained 0.06 to 0.08 mm.
Casing locking blocks are provided for HP & IP cylinder at 4 corner of cylinder. These
plates are fixed with respective pedestals. Clearance is maintained 0.2 mm.
Girder for LH & RH sides is locked by axial key at IP cylinder end. Clearance is
maintained for each key is 0.15 mm.
HP cylinder & HP rotor expands towards front pedestal. Hence HP front glands have
labyrinth type seal ring & front pedestal end have see through type gland seal rings. IP
cylinder & IP rotor expands towards Generator end. Hence IP glands towards No. 2
bearing have labyrinth type seal ring & LP end have see through type gland rings. LP
cylinder & LP rotor expands towards Generator end. At LP, rotor expansion is the
summation of expansion of IP rotor & expansion of LP rotor. Hence here at both end
gland type is see through type.
LP shaft seal Thermal Clearance:
This seals are provided at front & rear of LP cylinder. Thermal expansion of shaft seal
assembly is 0.02 mm. These seals are fixed from # 3 & # 4 pedestals. Clearance between
LP gland box & shaft is 21.5 mm (after removing seal holders). Clearance between LP
gland box seal segments & shaft seal is 0.8 mm (after fitting of seals on seal holders).
Fixing of rotor during rotation of rotor at the time of checking:
Rotor position is to be locked during conducting roll check, bump check etc. Rotor
locking is done at two positions. One at HP – IP coupling end & other is at the rear end
of LP rotor coupling flange. In both the cases locking screws placed opposite over the
projected collar. Locking screw tips touch the collar in both direction & fixed the rotor
position during rotation of rotor.
Boxed up of IP Cylinder:
Again take the swing check at bearing No.1 as mentioned earlier. If found ok then
proceed further. Now remove IP rotor assembly. Thoroughly cleaned IP bottom cylinder.
Then positioned IP rotor assembly in position & coupled with HP & LP couplings.
Parting plane jointing paste applied on bottom IP inner cylinder & placed top inner
cylinder over bottom cylinder. Parting plane jointing bolts are fitted as per schedule &
elongated the coupling bolts after heat tightening. Similarly placed top outer cylinder &
Parting plane jointing bolts are fitted as per schedule & elongated the coupling bolts after
heat tightening. Now record the readings of IP rotor centering with IP cylinder at both
ends, horn drop test & bump check.
Boxed up of LP Cylinder:
Now remove LP rotor assembly. Thoroughly cleaned LP bottom cylinder. Then
positioned LP rotor assembly in position & coupled with IP couplings. Parting plane
jointing paste applied on bottom IP inner cylinder & placed top inner cylinder over
bottom cylinder. Parting plane jointing bolts are fitted as per schedule & elongated the
coupling bolts after heat tightening. Similarly placed top outer cylinder & Parting plane
jointing bolts are fitted as per schedule & coupling bolts are hammer tightened. Now
record the readings of LP rotor centering with LP cylinder at both ends, horn drop test &
bump check.
Preparation of coupling bolts:
HP – IP Coupling:
After final axial alignment of HP – IP coupling, coupled all the 16 Nos. paired coupling
holes by loose bolts & tighten properly. 1st open one coupling bolt & enlarge coupling
hole diameter of both the HP & IP coupling half together by honing process so that both
the HP & IP coupling half hole diameter flushed with each other. Now prepare coupling
bolt as per hole diameter & measured its weight. Bolt diameter should be less than by
hole diameter by 0.02 to 03 mm. Placed the coupling bolt in position & tighten properly.
Next open the diagonally opposed coupling bolt & do the same operation as above. In
this way prepare the other coupling bolt & tighten them in position. Difference of weight
of each coupling bolt should be within 2 grams to avoid unbalance. This is done by
grinding process.
Coupling procedure of IP – LP & LP – Gen. is same as above.
Elongation of coupling bolts:
After pipe connection of HP – IP cylinder coupling bolts are elongated to 0.31 mm to
0.34 mm after tightened by special tools with the help of EOT crane.
Elongation of IP – LP coupling bolts is 0.46 to 0.49 mm & for LP – Gen. is 0.51 to 0.54
Direction concept:
Stand in front of Front Pedestal → LH side is Switchyard & it is named as LH side.
RH side is Boiler & it is named as RH side. Again stand in front of HP – IP Turbine &
face front is
towards Boiler. Generator side will be consider as LH side & Turbine side will be
consider as
RH side.
Connection of combined ESV & CV with HP cylinder:
Measured the thickness of U Seal ring. Side by side measured the projected part of ESV
collar which will press the U Seal ring and also the depth at HP cylinder steam admission
pipe where
U Seal ring sits.
ESV collar will sits over HP cylinder steam admission pipe & press the U seal ring.
Difference between the above two reading should be the thickness of U Seal ring – 0.68
mm. When breech nut will be tighten fully U Seal ring will be pressed by 0.68mm.
Placed U Seal ring over HP cylinder steam admission pipe sitting area. Breech nut fitted
over ESV connecting end & tightened properly. After heating breech nut at
recommended temperature rotate the breech by 42 mm.
Connection of HP cylinder exhaust pipe:
Measured the depth where U Seal ring sits on HP cylinder exhaust pipe. Measure the
thickness of U Seal ring. Thickness of U Seal ring should be higher than 1.02 mm. U
Seal ring will be pressed by 1.02 mm. Pull HP exhaust pipe nearer to HP cylinder
exhaust pipe. Placed U Seal ring in position & tighten HP cylinder exhaust pipe & HP
cylinder exhaust pipe coupling flange by fasteners. The above two pipes sits on metal to
metal contact (top surfaces of spigot & bottom surface of recess). After full tightening of
flange there will be 3 mm gap between the Coupling outer flanges.
Connection of IP steam inlet pipe: IP Outer cylinder & IP inner cylinder is connected by L
type seal ring. L type seal ring is fixed inside the IP outer casing by sleeve joint. This sleeve
has outer threaded zone at bottom length & one collar at top end. There is a inner threaded
zone around the steam entry hole of inner side of outer cylinder. Placed L type seal ring over
the outer periphery of steam entry hole of IP inner side of outer casing. Positioned sleeve
collar over L type seal ring. Now screwed the sleeve for holding the L type seal ring by
maintaining 0.05 mm clearance. L type seal ring will be slightly loose fitted over outer
casing. This system allows free expansion of outer cylinder. Placed inner casing over outer
casing. IP inner casing bottom in case of lower cylinder & inner top casing in case of top
cylinder have V shaped groove where projected part of L type seal ring sits. There will be
0.05 mm clearance all around the L type seal ring & V shaped grooves of IP inner casing
bottom & top halves. After steam heating of IP cylinder L type seal ring will sealed due to
expansion. The above arrangement also allows free expansion of inner cylinder.
Connection of Actuator with Stop & Control Valves:
When hydraulic actuators & stop valves cum control valves bonnets are joined by
fasteners,
actuator piston will be compressed against spring force by 12 to 15 mm as the case may
be.
Stop valves or control valves disc will be closed rigidly against spring force.
Generator:
Generator is placed over 4 Nos. base plates (locatedk at LH side two Nos. & RH side
two Nos.). Elevation of base plate is 17.020 Meter. In between two plates axial block is
provided for axially fixing the generator. Fixing is done by both side two Nos. key. Keys
are press fitted.
There are 4 Nos. (LH side two Nos. & RH side two Nos.) base plate for generator front
bearing pedestal & 2 Nos. (LH side one No. & RH side one No.) base plate for generator
rear bearing pedestal. Elevation of these base plates is also 17.020 mm.
During checking of Generator keep axial gap between LP & Generator coupling by 27
mm as expansion of rotor is 27 mm towards generator end.
Radial clearance of generator front side blower is 2.5 to 3 mm. Axial clearance of blower
is 27 mm.
Generator can be lifted up or lowered down by hydraulic jacks at appropriate position.
Sidewise shifting is also done by hydraulic jacks. Generator is fixed by 16 Nos.
foundation bolts (8 Nos. each side). Generator front pedestal fixed by 4 Nos. foundation
bolts (2Nos. each side). Generator rear pedestal fixed by 2 Nos. foundation bolts (1No.
each side).
Exciter: Method of Exciter erection is similar to generator. Exciter is locked by 8 Nos.
foundation bolts (4 Nos. each side).
Swing check at exciter end:
During Swing check at brg. No. 7, bearing is withdrawn from brg. No.7 & hang through
EOT crane after placing the journal at dummy bearing which is hanging through sling
and maintained the same elevation of journal No.7. LP – Generator should be de-
coupled condition. Place dial gauges at LH, RH & bottom of journal No.7. LH & RH
dial gauge will show the swing of rotor at LH & RH side. While bottom dial gauge will
show whether rotor is maintaining the same elevation or not while rotor is rotating.
Rotor to be rotated through #4 pedestal with the help of EOT crane. Rotor swing limit is
0.32 mm at each end. This reading is achieved by subtracting from Max. reading to Min.
reading of each side (LH & RH).
Followings readings are taken before pipe connection, after pipe connection &
after TG deck floating.
1) Alignment of HP – IP, IP – LP, LP – Gen. & Gen. – Exciter coupling
2) Roll Check, Bump Check, Horn Drop Test of HP, IP, LP (Bump check of LP is done
before pipe
connection only. After IP to LP pipe connection Shifting of LP cylinder is not
possible).
3) Bearing clearances of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7

Earthquake Prepared by Pinaki mukherjee, Manager(PS), IPH (E), SgTPP
The word earthquake is a fear full word to all of us. The division of science related to
research and analysis of earthquake is called seismology and broadly it is in under Geology.
The word earth quake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking
of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in
the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Till date no firm forecasting is possible regarding
the earthquake. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers . The
moment and magnitude as the standard measuring quantity of the earth quake. Normally in
this scale the more numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national
seismological observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale, also referred
to as the Richter magnitude scale. Both the two type of scale are more or less similar in their
physical significance. Magnitude of this scale 3 is lower and 7 or more is called devastating.
The largest earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, although
there is no limit to the possible magnitude. Intensity of shaking is measured on the
modified Mercalli scale. The shallower an earthquake, the more damage to structures it
causes, all else being equal.
In every earthquake having an epicenter, means the point where an earthquake or
underground explosion originates the earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core,
mantle and crust. The crust and the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of
our planet. But this skin is not all in one piece – it is made up of many pieces like a puzzle
covering the surface of the earth. Not only that, but these puzzle pieces keep slowly moving
around, sliding past one another and bumping into each other. We call these puzzle
piecestectonic plates, and the edges of the plates are called the plate boundaries. The plate
boundaries are made up of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur
on these faults. Since the edges of the plates are rough, they get stuck while the rest of the
plate keeps moving. Finally, when the plate has moved far enough, the edges unstick on one
of the faults and there is an earthquake
Among the different theory behind the earthquake the most acceptable theory is plate tectonic
theory. As per this theory The plates consist of an outer layer of the Earth, the lithosphere,
which is cool enough to behave as a more or less rigid shell. Occasionally the
hot asthenosphere of the Earth finds a weak place in the lithosphere to rise buoyantly as a
plume, or hotspot. In bellow mentioned fig showing the different plate.
The earth release its internal heat by convecting or boiling the hot asthenospheric mantle
rises to the surface and spreads laterally, transporting oceans and continents as on a slow
conveyor belt. The speed of this motion is a few centimeters per year, about as fast as your
fingernails grow. The earthquake generate between the collisions of any of the two plates.
Effects of earth quake.
1. Landslides and avalanches
2. Fires.
3. Soil liquefaction
4. Tsunami
5. Floods
6. Human impacts.
Major Earthquake:-
Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater since 1900. The apparent 3D volumes of the
bubbles are linearly proportional to their respective fatalities. One of the most devastating
earthquakes in recorded history was the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake, which occurred on 23
January 1556 in Shaanxi province, China. More than 830,000 people died. Most houses in the
area were yaodongs—dwellings carved out of loess hillsides—and many victims were killed
when these structures collapsed. The1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed between
240,000 and 655,000 people, was the deadliest of the 20th century.
The 1960 Chilean earthquake is the largest earthquake that has been measured on a
seismograph, reaching 9.5 magnitudes on 22 May 1960. Its epicenter was near Cañete, Chile.
The energy released was approximately twice that of the next most powerful earthquake,
the Good Friday earthquake (March 27, 1964) which was centered in Prince William Sound,
Alaska. The ten largest recorded earthquakes have all been mega thrust earthquakes;
however, of these ten, only the2004 Indian Ocean earthquake is simultaneously one of the
deadliest earthquakes in history.
Earthquakes that caused the greatest loss of life, while powerful, were deadly because of their
proximity to either heavily populated areas or the ocean, where earthquakes often
create tsunamis that can devastate communities thousands of kilometers away. Regions most
at risk for great loss of life include those where earthquakes are relatively rare but powerful,
and poor regions with lax, unenforced, or nonexistent seismic building
Center for Seismology, Ministry of Earth Sciences is nodal agency of Government of
India dealing with various activities in the field of seismology and allied disciplines. The
major activities currently being pursued by the Center for Seismology include, a) earthquake
monitoring on 24X7 basis, including real time seismic monitoring for early warning of
tsunamis, b) Operation and maintenance of national seismological network and local
networks c) Seismological data center and information services, d) Seismic hazard and risk
related studies e) Field studies for aftershock / swarm monitoring, site response studies f)
earthquake processes and modeling, etc. The MSK (Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik) intensity
broadly associated with the various seismic zones is VI (or less), VII, VIII and IX (and
above) for Zones 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, corresponding to Maximum Considered
Earthquake (MCE).
In Zone-5- The region of Kashmir, the western and central Himalayas, North and Middle
Bihar, the North-East Indian region and the Rann of Kutch fall in this zone.
In Zone-4 - The Indo-Gangetic basin and the capital of the country (Delhi), Jammu and
Kashmir fall in Zone 4. In Maharashtra, the Patan area (Koyananager) is also in zone no-4.
In Bihar the northern part of the state like- Raksaul, Near the border of India and Nepal, is
also in zone no-4.
In Zone- 3- The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, parts of Kashmir, Western Himalayas fall
under this zone. This zone is classified as Moderate Damage Risk Zone which is liable to
MSK VII. and also 7.8 The IS code assigns zone factor of 0.16 for Zone 3. In Zone-2-This
region is liable to MSK VI or less and is classified as the Low Damage Risk Zone.
Zone-1- Since the current division of India into earthquake hazard zones does not use Zone 1,
no area of India is classed as Zone 1.Future changes in the classification system may or may
not return this zone to use.
TEN INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT POWER SCENARIO IN INDIA
Prepared By: Sourav Chatterjee, AM(PS), AHP Electrical Maintenance, SgTPP
Some interesting facts about the country's power situation to chew on:
India has an installed capacity of more than 170,000 megawatts, up from a mere 1,362
megawatts at the time of Independence in 1947.
The majority (around 60%) is generated from coal and lignite, while just under a
quarter (about 22%) is hydro-electric
Despite its soaring energy needs, India has one of the lowest per capita rates of
consumption of power in the world - 734 units as compared to a world average of
2,429 units. This is nothing compared with say, Canada, (18,347 units) and the US
(13,647 units). China's per capita consumption (2,456 units) is more than three times
that of India.
The low per capita consumption is despite the fact that the power sector has been
growing at more than 7% every year.
Homes and farms are consuming more power today than industries and businesses.
Industrial consumption has actually dropped from 61.6% in 1970-71 to 38% in 2008-
2009.
India has suffered consistent power shortages since Independence in 1947. Peak
demand shortage is more than 10%, whereas the overall energy shortage is more than
7%.
Sixty-five years after Independence, only nine states - Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat,
Karnataka, Goa, Delhi, Haryana, Kerala, Punjab and Tamil Nadu - of 28 have been
officially declared totally electrified.
India remains perennially energy starved despite 15% or more of federal funds being
allocated to the power sector. Bankrupt state-run electricity boards, an acute shortage
of coal, skewed subsidizes which end up benefiting rich farmers, power theft, and
under-performing private distribution agencies are to blame, say experts. There is no
shortage of money, and the problem, as the Planning Commission admits, is more "in
the delivery process [than] in the system".
Transmission and distribution losses have leapt from 22% in 1995-96 to about 25.6%
in 2009-2010. The states with the worst losses are Indian-administered Kashmir,
Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. The best performers: Punjab,
Himachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
India's first power generation company was the private Calcutta Electric Supply
Corporation (CESC) started in 1899. The first diesel power plant was set up in Delhi
in 1905. The first hydro-electric power station was set up in Mysore in 1902. At the
time of Independence, about 60% of India's power sector was privately owned.
Today, about 80% of the installed capacity is in the hands of the government. Private
companies own 12% of the capacity.

MODIFICATION WORK AT COAL HANDLING PLANT STAGE# 1 PREPARED BY : SUBHAJIT PAUL, AM(PS) CHP (MM)
PROJECT: FIXING OF RAIL AT TP-1, TP-1A & Crusher house
Problem:
In CHP uncrushed coal from trackhopper passes through TP-1, TP-1A & crusher house
(Conv 3A/B & RBF- 1&2) before entering into crusher. At TP-1 & 1A because of fall
height every now and then, the impact idlers at the intake of C-2A/B & C-3A/B are getting
damaged causing belt sway, skirt coming out, coal spillage etc. The chutes were also
extensively damaged.
Impact of the problem:
As a result, of above every now and then gates are to be changed, frequent outage of
conveyor 2A/B & 3A/B and interruption in coal evacuation was taking place.
Objective
To reduce the downtime of C-2A/B & C-3A/B and to improve evacuation from track
hopper.
Measures taken
A rail has been inserted across the intake chute of conv 2A/B, conv 3A/B & RBF just
above coffin box to reduce the impact of coal lumps falling from greater height. Thus, the
conveyor & the impact rollers & chutes at loading zone are protected from frequent damage.
Result:
Outage of C-2A/B, C-3A/B & RBF due to damaged impact idler, skirt problem or
chute leakage has been comprehensively reduced.
RAIL INSERT AT TP
PROJECT: Removal of impact table (garland idlers) of Paddle Feeder - 4
Problem
Garland idler system is very maintenance prone. Replacement of garland idlers requires
lifting of conveyor belt, cutting of impact table, removal of damage roll, reaffixing of new
roll, reaffixing of impact table and finally release of conveyor belt. Frequency of
replacement of garland idlers is at least thrice a year per plough feeder.
Secondly, a span of conveyor belt remains hanging hence has a tendency of belt sway at
load condition. Moreover, weight of garlanding system is approx. 2 MT, which is
practically an unnecessary weight. Plough feeder travels with this weight. This is an
unnecessary weight on the travel wheels & hence causes travelling problem
As the space between the skirt rubber & the belt is very small, with slightest pressure of
coal skirt was coming out of belt causing coal spillage and creating unclean working
atmosphere at the passages along the conveyor belt.
SOLUTION
To avoid the above discussed problems, our motivated team of Engineers carried out brain
storming session and found following solutions as most suitable one.
Initially it was tried by reducing the plough feeder’s discharge chute so that gap between
chute and belt becomes 800mm.This solution sustained for some time. Hence, again
through brain storming it was decided to remove the impact table so that coal will directly
fall from chute to conveyor belt on idlers over deck plate as was done in NTPC &
suggested by Mr. Gopal Krishna (AGM; NTPC, Kahalgaon). In this case as coal will
directly fall on idlers on deck plate & damage of idlers may take place hence the deflector
plate has been extended to minimize the fall height to 400mm. accordingly, our
technicians carried out the job. First, they removed the old impact table and skirt board.
Then discharge chute has been made tapered and extended up to the conveyor. Skirt board
has been made inclined accordingly for the entire length of discharge area. The system
was successfully commissioned and handed over to operation.

OPERATIONAL WRITE UP ON TURBINE DRIVEN
BOILER FEED PUMP AT 500MW UNIT
PREPARED BY: TRIDIP DEBNATH, AM (PS), COMMISSIONING,
SgTPP
At the era of techno-commercial, Turbine Driven Boiler Feed Pump is one of the power -
saving equipment to fill feed water into the boiler with comparing of Motor Driven Boiler
Feed Pump. At 500 MW unit of SgTPP Thermal Power Plant, power consumption of
MDBFP is approx. 10 MW whereas TDBFP consumes 6.2-7.4 MW. In 500MW unit there are
two similar TDBFPs located on turbine floor.
Basic pumps (feed pumps) are same of MDBFP and TDBFP, but main difference is
drivenpower, one is Motor and another is steam turbine.

Arrangement of MDBFP
There are three sources of steam for TDBFP turbine such as APRDS, CRH and main turbine
extraction -4 at Sagardighi Thermal Power Project. Initially steam is consumed from APRDS
and pressure is set approx. 11 kg/cm2(g) and it was observed that above 300 MW load,
TDBFP run smoothly from Extraction -4 steam but CRH steam pressure very much
fluctuating. That is why it is tough to control TDBFP operation from CRH steam. APRDS
and CRH steam is controlled with Auxiliary Control Valve and if pressure is increased more
than 12kg/cm2 then a safety valve popped. TDBFP run smoothly with pressure 4-6 kg/cm2

Auxiliary Equipment and systems of TDBFP:
a) Lube Oil system: - 2 nos. AOP (AC), (one stand by and one working), One no. AC
JOP(Jacking Oil Pump), One DC EOP, Two nos. vapor extraction Fan(one standby
and one working), One lube oil tank (10M3), 2 nos .Lube oil cooler, 2 nos. Lube oil
filter, one centrifuge.
b) Governing system: - One Auxiliary Control valve, One Stop Valve, one Main Control
valve, Governing rack.
Operation of above valves: - First control oil comes from discharge header of AOP
and its pressure approx. 8-9kg/cm2. Control oil goes to hand trip valve (22250)
through trip solenoid valve 2222A and 2222B. Hand trip valve can be reset by
energized the remote engagement solenoid valve (1050). After resetting trip liver, a
trip oil (Pr.>5 kg/cm2) generated and goes to solenoid valves 2220, 2221 and electro
hydraulic converter (EHC) 1800A and 1800B. After energized solenoid valve 2221,
startup oil built up and compresses the spring at above piston of the emergency stop
valve. After that de-energized the solenoid valve 2220 and trip oil pressure opened the
ESV.
Electrohydraulic controller 1800A generated secondary oil and controls the main
control valve. Similarly 1800B controls the auxiliary control valve.

c) Feed Water System: - Water from deaerator flows through the booster pump and its
discharge is fed to Boiler Feed Pump suction. From the discharge of BFP the feed
water passes through two parallel paths of two nos. HP Heater each path (5A, 6A &
5B, 6B), economizer, and finally reaches the boiler drum.
d) Gland sealing of turbine: - Before opening of exhaust valve gland sealing should be
done as this line connected to condenser. Initially gland sealing steam comes from
APRDS line and a CRH line. After speed of turbine reaches more than 4000rpm it
goes to automatic self-sealing mode.
Following line up should be checked before steam rolling of TDBFP:-
a) Pump side: -Suction valve of booster pump should be opened and proper venting
should be done through basket strainer, booster pump casing and BFP casing
vents. All DMCW lines should be opened for jacket and seal cooling for both
pumps. Recirculation manual as well as pneumatic operated valve should be
opened.
b) Lube oil: - Oil level of MOT should be checked and it will be more than 1380
mm. All pumps breaker will be service position and LOS will be release
condition. DMCW water line should be opened for cooler.
c) Gland sealing: All drain valves should be opened before charging of gland
sealing steam. Warm up line drain will be also opened condition.
d) DCS logic should be checked. Following logics should be checked.
1. Lube oil pump A interlock:-
Start permissive:- Lube oil tank level > 1380mm.

C.
Start up Procedure of TDBFP:-
a) Lube oil charging:- First charge DC EOP for oil filling at all lube oil line after that
charge any AOP. AOP Discharge pressure set with in pressure 9-10 kg/cm2.
b) TDBFP put in Barring:- JOP start and set pressure 100 kg/cm2 at discharge point (0
mtr). Open turning gear valve and if turbine not running then hand barring require and
set JOP two line valves( Two valve first full closed then open slightly approx 1/8th
turn). Lube oil Pressure of after barring valve will be within 3.5 to 4 kg/cm2 and
barring speed reaches 260-280 rpm.
c) Gland Sealing charging:- First open the APRDS main isolating valve at PRDS floor
then ensure the steam temperature more than 300 deg. Centigrade. Open the
individual manual individual isolatingvalve of PRDS. During charging of gland
sealing, open all casing and line drain valves (MTL08,MTL06,MTL07,MTL09) .
Initially gland steam header pr. controller take in manual mode and increase control
valve command more than 55%. After increasing gland steam header pressure, set
header pressure 300mmwc and put the controller auto mode. During charging of
gland sealing, motorized bypass valve (MTW71A) may be opened 6-10 %. After
established the gland sealing, opened the exhaust valve.
d. ESV opening:- First reset the governing system and wait some times for reaching the
trip oil pressure as well as above piston pressure more than 5kg/cm2 then open the
ESV with manual mode. During ESV opening, Drain valve CRHV 153 will be opened
condition.
e. Rolling and loading the turbine:- Increase the demand of the auxiliary control valve
and maintain the live steam pressure up to 4 kg/cm2 .Then set 1600 rpm at speed reference
because a on feedback given for running of TDBFP(If MDBFP tripped at that time but MFT
will not be taken place because TDBFP running feedback on condition at that time) .
Soaking will be continued till the temperature reaching 150degree centigrade at BFP casing
100%. Speed of the TDBFP may be increased as per requirement of discharge pressure of
BFP. Maintain the live steam temperature above 300 degree centigrade. Steam from
Extraction -4 may be charged at 300 MW load and above because at that time steam pressure
is 4kg/cm2 and more. TDBFP may be put in auto mode and speed reference will be varied as
per requirement of system in auto mode. Live Steam pressure may be put in auto mode with a
set point and Auxiliary control valve demand also varies as per requirement of set point.
TDBFP run smoothly with steam of extraction -4. A safety valve has been installed at after
auxiliary control valve and it popped above 12 kg/cm2 steam pressure. So it is very difficult
at CRH pressure because CRH valve (EXV15) open at pressure 12.7 kg/cm2 and above 287
degree centigrade temperature.
Shut down procedure of TDBFP:-
Reduce the speed up to 1500 rpm corresponding reduce the live steam pressure with
help of auxiliary control valve.
Then Tripped the turbine and speed will be reduced gradually and JOP will be started
at below speed 510 rpm.
Isolate the all steam valves.
Barring valve will be opened at below speed 510 rpm and finally it will be run with
barring speed (250-280 RPM)
If the 100% BFP casing temperature reduced at below 85 degree centigrade the
barring gear valve may be closed.

SAS INTEGRATION AT SAGARDIGHI
Er. Narayan Mohan Dhar, HOD (TEC-IT), SgTPP, WBPDCL
Er. Kaushik Dasgupta, AM (TEC-IT), SgTPP, WBPDCL
With the advent of SgTPP Phase I (2*300) MW, WBPDCL has step into a new era of
modernization in the field of Power System Engineering. Phase I of SgTPP has been
equipped with state of art fully numerical relays, IEDs and SCADA (Supervisory control and
data acquisition) system which have change the concept of Electrical Protection and Control
System. The Nari Electric RCS-9700 SCADA system compromises of Bay Control Units
(BCU) for individual bays of switchyard. These bays are used for real time and continuous
monitoring and supervision of analog (Current, Voltage etc) and binary (CB state, Isolator
feedback etc) data. Raw data are collected from switchyard at these BCUs and processed
therein. The SCADA system used GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events) for
communication. GOOSE is a controlled model mechanism in which any format of data
(status, value) is clubbed into a data set and communicated within a time period of few
milliseconds. Actually GOOSE is a subdivision of Generic Substation Events (GSE), which
is a control model of IEC 61850 helps to provides a fast and reliable mechanism of
transferring event data over entire switchyard network. All BCUs here are function through
GOOSE technology. Individual BCUs are unique networking ID and are communicated with
sub-station layer through NR developed IEC 103 Transmission Protocols. The sub-station
layers compromises of all data of individuals BCU and communicated to station layer/server
of SCADA. The server processed, stores, back-up, all such data and provides SLD, report,
alarms SOE, graphs and other features to HMI for real-time monitoring and control of the
switchyard equipment.
Numerical relays are like IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) also communicate with field
protection instruments (CT, CVT, CB etc) and provide protection of all electrical equipment
installed at switchyard. These are very compact models and can be configured for several
protection functions at a single device. There is an Interposing Relay for every protection
function which used to communicate the fault details and tripping elements with the SCADA
system. These IEDs used RS-485 for communication and hence communicate with SCADA
system via a protocol convertor. The protocol convertor can convert the RS-485 to IEC 103
protocol and thus all SOE and fault details can be viewed and analyzed with a single click
from control room HMI.
With commissioning of Stage II (2*500) MW and extension of 400KV switchyard (inclusion
of International feeders for power trading to Bangladesh), the Power System Engineering at
SgTPP has step further ahead. Stage II has come with concept of Bay Control Rooms (BCR)
at switchyard premises which includes BCU and Relays of one diameter of Bays. These
reduce huge cost of power cable laying for CT PT and other control cables from switchyard
to control room. The data of BCU and Relays are converted into optical fiber and transmitted
to control room. In control room data are revert back to IEC 104 protocol for communication
with new SCADA server. The new SCADA is Alstom make DS-AGILE.
Among all these technology advancement there arise a challenge for SAS Integration
(Substation Automation System). The existing (NARI) and new (Alstom) SAS has used
different communication protocol for data supervision and control. The existing SAS used
IEC 103 protocol whereas the new SAS used IEC 104 protocol. The IEC 103 protocol is not
an open protocol and hence the control room seems to maintain two SCADA HMIs for
separate portions of the same switchyard. This is a real concerned part from operation aspect.
After lots of brainstorming and efforts Alstom SAS seems to fail fetching data from NARI
SAS as NARI use their proprietary protocol which is not interoperability. With help of
knowledge of NARI SAS of SgTPP concerned department and NARI electric hardware
support, at last this major problem has been sorted out. Phase-I NARI system has RTU
(Remote Terminal Unit) which used to communicate between SCADA and DCS system. The
detailed study and discussion with NARI engineers help to find a way-out that the existing
RTU can be used to change over IEC 103 protocol to IEC 104 for providing existing SAS
data to Alstom make new SAS. For this an extra programmable CPU has been installed by
NARI engineer to the existing RTU. This CPU helps to convert IEC 103 protocol to IEC 104
but not vice versa is possible. Once this conversion is achieved SgTPP concerned department
studied and help to provide all networking ID address and all data structure of individual bays
(Telecontrol, Telecommunication etc) to Alstom engineers for their integration. On receiving
such existing SAS data-structure Alstom then was able to configure all these data to the new
SAS. The existing SAS data converted to 104 protocols by NARI- RTU’s new CPU and
forwarded to Alstom system. At Alstom end a new Gateway was installed which receive the
104 protocol based existing SAS data and communicated with the Alstom DS AGILE
servers. Thus supervision and control of the existing SAS can be done through the new SAS.
At last, the much desire SAS integration becomes successful.
