Q

While the plant is operating, the in-service discharge pressure drops low enough to start the CE standby pump. Pressure is returned to normal. What is the status of the standby pump?

A

Still running, it will need to be secured manually

Q

What cools the main generator collector housing? Where is the collector housing located? What cools the HX?

A

A fan, attached to the main shaft of the generator, circulates air over the heat exchanger and through the exciter unit by the fan due to turbine rotation

176’ Turbine Building, south side of the Main Generator

normal chilled water

(independent from the stator cooling and isophase bus duct cooling systems)

17
Q

Where is the Stator Leak Monitoring System located?

A

At the Stator Cooling Water Skid

18
Q

What is the purpose of the SLMS (stator leak monitor system)?

A

To identify a stator bar leak as early as possible while the generator is in operation to allow enough time to plan for repair during the next outage
(This is accomplished by monitoring the head tank vent for evidence of hydrogen)

minimize the possibility of low stator cooling water system oxygen
concentration by providing a means to inject air into the system head tank

19
Q

What alarm signals are included on the new SLMS (stator leak monitor system) panel?

A

Hydrogen concentration >1.5%
Low air flow
Oxygen < 2ppm

20
Q

What happens upon a loss of Stator Cooling? What is the purpose of the time delay for the generator trip?

A

Will cause a turbine and generator trip that will cause entry into the load rejection procedure.

The primary sensor for each trip initiates a 70 second time delay relay. When this relay is energized, the local and control room alarms are actuated. Unless the primary sensor returns to normal within the 70 second time frame, the turbine will trip

21
Q

How long may rated current be maintained for upon a loss of Isophase Bus Cooling?

A

30 minutes

22
Q

How does the CE system interface with IA?

A

system valve control

23
Q

How does the CE system interface with NN?

A

powers the control and power instrumentation panel

24
Q

How does the CE system interface with NG?

A

powers pump motors

25
Q

In the CE system, what is powered by NK?

A

powers the local annunciator and generator trip relays

26
Q

The CE water coolers are piped in series on the shell (stator water) side, and in parallel on the tube side (TC). Which side of the cooler is provided with valves for isolating a single cooler with the other still in-service?

Why is the shell side in series?

Where are the coolers located?

A

tube side (TC)

because they are only 80% capacity each

140’ turbine building, NE corner

27
Q

Concerning the CE system, what is the purpose of the duplex strainer? Location?

A

to remove particulate material that might come from the outlet of the filter (in case of high filter D/P) and allow for strainer basket change out online in the event of a fouled strainer.

140’ turbine building, NE corner

28
Q

What is the purpose of the CE stator cooling filters?

A

replaceable cotton wound cartridge filters

to clean the water before entering the main generator, which prevents arching

a third filter is upstream of the deionizer

generator inlet filter has a high D/P alarm at the local panel

29
Q

In the CE system, what is the purpose of the deionizer?

A

maintains stator cooling water at a low electrical conductivity by continuous removal of ions

deionizer is in a bypass line that gets 10% of stator cooling water flow

30
Q

Where are the CE filters and deionizer located?

A

140’ turbine building, NE corner

31
Q

What is the purpose of the stator cooling flow control valve, FCV-12?

A

provides a manual means of coolant flow adjustment to the generator bushings

flow based on the percentage of total flow required by each section

32
Q

In the stator cooling system, what does the new SLMS (stator leak monitor system) provide that the old one doesn’t?

A

analog signals to ERFDADS

digital alarms to the control room

33
Q

In the CE system, what does oxygen do for the stator bars?

A

creates a corrosion resistant layer

a hydrogen leak into the stator bars prevents oxygen from getting to the stator bar surface

34
Q

How much hydrogen permeates through the stator cooling insulating connections in the main generator? What is the flow path of the permeated hydrogen?

A

two to 3 cubic feet per day

gets into the stator cooling water and goes back to the coolant tank, then is vented to atmosphere through a vent line with an S-loop for condensed moisture drainage

air injection is provided from SLMS (stator leak monitor system) to minimize hydrogen in the tank

35
Q

What happens when the Stator cooling and isophase bus duct cooling systems lose TC?

A

stator cooling temp will increase and trip the generator

isophase bus coolers will require a load reduction to maintain bus temp within limits

36
Q

What happens to the CE system when IA is lost?

A

stator cooling water system temperature control valve fails to the flow through coolers position

37
Q

What happens to the CE system loses NN?

A

loss of local alarms

38
Q

What happens to the CE system on a loss of NG?

A

loss of stator cooling pumps, generator trip

loss of isophase bus cooling blowers, load reduction

39
Q

What happens in the CE system on a loss of NK?

A

loss of tripping power
