this systems, to describe the operation of Cogeneration boiler unit, how to startup and
shutdown the process using documented procedures, how to respond safely and efficiently to
disturbances and malfunctions in the process, understand how temperature and pressure affect
the operation of a Gas Turbine Unit.

Gas Turbine section, in which compressed air and fuel oil or fuel gas are ignited, driving the
turbine, which in turn drives the electric generator. In the Generator section, which produces
75 MW electrical power at 3000 RPM, with a voltage of 15.75 KV at 50 Hz.

5.Condensate System
6.Plant Utilities
The purpose of this system is to generate a low power auxiliary electrical output.The
gas turbine engine is composed of a single axial flow air compressor, combustion chamber
(combustor), and a single axial flow turbine housed in one unit and rotating on a common
shaft. Its shaft rotation speed is geared down via a gear box to drive the electrical generator,
which is connected to the compressor end of the shaft.
COGENERATION BOILER 6
ProSimulator
The gas turbine is started initially by the diesel starter, which is on a common shaft
with the torque converter. A gear box on the same shaft shaft is connected to the turbine shaft,
and converts the lower diesel shaft speed to the higher speed required for the compressor and
turbine operation. The compressor and turbine are mounted on a common shaft. When the
turbine reaches 900 RPM, fuel and air can be mixed and fired in the combustor.
Air flows into the compressor through the air intake port, and is compressed to 25.5
kg/cm2. It is then delivered to the combustor through guide vanes which diffuse the air
equally to the combustor burners. Fuel oil or fuel gas are delivered under governor pressure
control through the fuel nozzles into the burner cans, where it is mixed with the compressed
air and ignited.
Once the fuel is ignited, the compressor turbine rotation becomes self-sustaining. As
the air-fuel mixture burns, the gas of combustion expands and flows across the turbine
blading, providing rotation to the shaft to drive the compressor and generator.
The gases exhausted from the turbine section flow through the gas flue and either out the
stack or into the HRSG to produce steam for other plant operations.
The generator is an air-cooled 75 megawatt (MW), 15.75 kilovolt (KV) machine
whose shaft is driven by the compressor-turbine shaft through a gear box.
A motor-driven exciter establishes the field voltage to the generator. The terminal
voltage of the generator is controlled by either a rheostatic manual voltage regulator or an
automatic voltage regulator.
The generator 15.75 KV terminal voltage is boosted to 230 KV across the transformer.
The voltage regulator maintains the deviation between the generator high-side voltage and the
grid voltage at zero volts by adjusting the excitation field to the generator. That is, the
transformer voltage is matched with the grid voltage at the main bus.
The governor system regulates the power generated which is set by the load controller
by adjusting the flow of fuel to the turbine combustor.
The generator core is cooled by a filtered air system.
Turbine - Generator Lube Oil System
The lube oil system is a major auxiliary to the turbine generator. It provides
lubrication and heat dissipation for the turbine, compressor, and generator shaft bearings and
seals, including: Generator shaft bearings, the turbine-compressor thrust bearing, the turbine-
compressor shaft bearings, the generator gear box, the turbine auxiliary gear box, and the
diesel shaft torque converter.
The lube oil is taken from the lube oil tank by one of three available lube oil pumps
and is delivered to the bearings, gears, and oil seals of the components mounted on the shafts.
Besides providing lubrication to the bearings and gears, the lube oil picks up heat generated
there and keeps the bearing and gear temperatures within a safe operating range. From the
bearings, gears, and seals, the hot lube oil drains back to the lube oil reservoir.
The main lube oil pump is driven by the turbine shaft. Normally, this pump delivers
the oil to the bearings and gears. During startup, or when the main pump is out of service, a
motor-driven pump is used. The lube oil discharged from either of these pumps flows through
the air-cooled lube oil cooler. The cooler fans reduce the temperature of the hot lube oil to a
COGENERATION BOILER 7

temperature suitable for cooling the shaft bearings. The lube oil then passes through two lube
oil filter strainers in the lube oil manifold line, which remove particles and debris from the oil
before it is delivered to the shaft-mounted components.
COGENERATION BOILER 8
ProSimulator
The steam released into the upper part of the steam drum flows to the superheater
section of the HRSG. Here the greatest amount of heat from the gas turbine exhaust is
delivered to the steam. The steam becomes superheated and passes through a desuperheater.
The steam temperature controller regulates the flow of attemperating spray water, diverted off
the feed water line, into the desuperheater. To keep the steam temperature from rising above
setpoint, the spray is injected into the superheated steam, where it absorbs the excess heat,
thus reducing the steam temperature. The steam then exits the HRSG and is directed to the
facilities or processes for which it is intended.
A motor-driven forced draft (FD) fan provides additional combustion air for the fuel
gas or fuel oil.The combustion of the air-fuel mixture, along with the recovered heat from the
GT, produces the heat needed to turn the boiler water into superheated steam.The fuel to be
used, either oil, gas, or a mixture of both, is selected by a manual control. The fuel flow,
which is based on the steam flow generated, is regulated by flow controller FC02. Feed water
temperature, pressure, and steam supply back pressure are variables selected by the instructor,
and affect the operating conditions of the HRSG.

As boiler load demand increases, the Combustion Control system increases the demand for
air. Air flow to the boiler increases, raising the furnace pressure. The induced draft fan speeds
will increase as the steam flow increases. The furnace pressure is adjusted to match the
setpoint by changing the induced draft fan inlet vane positions. This control scheme will
maintain the pressure design point over the full range of operating conditions.
