Q

Describe Diesel Generator Governor operation in Transition Mode.

A

When SWYD power is regained after a LOOP, this mode allows the operator control of EDG speed to begin parallel ops and restore offsite power to our in-house buses.
* Occurs when Sync SS is placed in the “Tie-A3 (B3)” position
* When the 3-2 tie breaker has been re-closed, the EDG Governor shifts back to speed droop mode.
* When SIAS & LOOP have been reset, the Voltage Regulator shifts back to speed droop mode.

Q

Describe the air flow path through the Unit 1 EDG.

A
  • Through steel louvers into EDG building
  • EDG Building air then enters the Air Intake box on top of Generators thru intake filters and flows into the Turbocharger, which compresses air to get more energy out of it.
  • After exiting the Turbocharger, the air passes through the After-cooler, which removes the heat added by the turbocharger before it enters the engine.
  • Air then enters a common air header which supplies air to each of the cylinders
  • After exiting the cylinders, engine exhaust air flows through the turbocharger turbine, providing the motive force for its operation
  • Exhaust air leaves via a Flexible Connection to Exhaust Bellows From the exhaust bellows, air travels thru exhaust ductwork exits the EDG buildings

49
Q

What are the EDG Auto Start signals?

A

The EDG’s will start on either of these two signals:

1) Loss of Off-site Power (LOOP); or
2) Safety Injection (SIAS)

Notes:
* LOOP – Signal is generated by under voltage or degraded voltage schemes.
* SIAS signals are train dependent (i.e. ‘A’ train SIAS starts the ‘A’ EDG)

50
Q

Describe the Unit 1 LOOP U/V & Degraded Voltage Schemes.

A

Unit 1 – 4160V (A3/B3)

  • U/V – 2/2
  • D/V – 2/2

Unit 1 – 480V Load Center (A2/B2)

A2 or B2:
* D/V – 2/2 with a SIAS / CIAS / MSIS

51
Q

Describe the Unit 2 LOOP U/V & Degraded Voltage Schemes.

A

Unit 2 – 4160V (A3/B3)

  • U/V – 2/2
  • D/V – 2/3 with a SIAS

Unit 2 – 480V Load Center (A2/B2 & A5/B5)

A2 or B2:
* U/V – 2/3
* D/V – 2/3
A5 or B5:
* U/V – 2/3
* D/V – 2/3

52
Q

Describe what happens when a LOOP is sensed.

A

The following occurs on the affected 4160V bus (A3/B3):
* 3-2 tie breaker(s) open
* Loads shed - (CCW, HPSI, LPSI, CS, AFW, PZR Htr)
* EDG(s) start
* EDG Output breaker(s) close - when EDG is at rated speed & voltage
* EDG(s) operate in isochronous mode

  • If LOOP occurs and the EDG’s were initially shutdown – An emergency bus U/V condition is generated, the 3-2 breakers open, and the EDG’s auto start in the Isochronous & Unity Modes on LOOP auto start signal. The output breaker closure should occur within 10 seconds. Normal previously running loads will then sequence on based on their particular load block.
  • If LOOP occurs and the EDG’s were initially running - EDG trips on over-current, and is locked out. An emergency bus U/V condition is generated, the 3-2 breakers open. EDG trips must be reset locally. Once trips have been reset, the EDG will automatically start and the output breaker will auto close. Previously running loads are sequenced back on to the bus.
  • If LOOP occurs coincident with a SIAS and EDG was shutdown- An emergency bus U/V condition is generated, the 3-2 breakers open, and the EDG’s auto start in the Isochronous & Unity Modes on LOOP auto start signal. The output breaker closure should occur within 10 seconds. All loads required for the SIAS will sequence on based on their particular load block.
53
Q

Describe the EDG response to a SIAS signal.

A
  • If off-site power is available, and a SIAS occurs – The associated train EDG will start in the emergency mode, but the output breaker will not close because the safety related emergency buses do not lose power. All SIAS related loads start at once. EDG operates in the emergency mode until manual action is taken to reset SIAS and stop EDG
  • If EDG running paralleled to the grid, and a SIAS occurs - SIAS trips EDG output breaker open (trip applied for 1.2 seconds), but the output breaker will not re-close because the safety related emergency buses do not lose power. All SIAS related loads start at once. EDG operates in emergency mode until manual action taken to reset SIAS and stop EDG
  • If the EDG running as the sole source of power, and a SIAS occurs - SIAS trips EDG output breaker open (trip applied for 1.2 seconds). The emergency bus U/V occurs and the 4.16 KV 3-2 breakers open. Bus load sheds. Individual breakers open on UV. The EDG output breaker re-closes. Loads sequence on the bus based on their particular load block.
  • EDG Surveillance Run Nearing Completion with SIAS - EDG running on shutdown timer during the 10 minute cooldown at 450 RPM. Get SIAS EDG increases speed to 900 RPM and remains running unloaded with output bkr open.
  • EDG surveillance just started and EDG at idle speed and emer. signal comes in - Idle signal over-ridden EDG speed increases to 900 rpm. EDG will then respond accordingly if a SIAS or LOOP. Note: if Start control switch [master start control] is in Isolate, the auto start signals are blocked to the EDG.
54
Q

56
Q

Describe the EDG Diesel Shutdown Sequence.

A

Normal EDG Shutdown
* Normal start / stop EDG switch will not work unless the EDG Bkr is open
* Once EDG is unloaded and output breaker is open, Taking the EDG switch to “STOP” will:
 Ramp down the EDG speed to 450 rpm and starts a 10 minute cooldown timer.
 After 10 minutes, the EDG shuts down

57

Q

Describe the operation of the EDG Output Breaker Normal / Isolate Switches.

A
  • Place in Isolate prior to closing breaker locally
  • Allows Breaker Control with Switch on Breaker Door
  • Prevents Breaker from closing on an ESFAS signal
  • Mechanical Close Button on the Breaker itself ALWAYS works
  • 1B & 2A EDG switches insert a new set of appendix R control power fuses
75
Q

List Important EDG Procedure Precautions / Limitations.

A
  • Starting the Diesel with lube oil temperature less than 65°F will result in serious damage to lube oil system components.
  • In an emergency with lube oil temperature less than 65°F and NO other power source available to the vital buses of that unit, then the EDG should be idle started and warmed up for 2 minutes before going to rated speed and being released for service.
  • Declare EDG inoperable if oil temperature is less than 85°F.
  • Do not fast start the EDG if oil temperature is less than 85°F.
  • If engine oil temperature decreases to less than 90°F as determined by calibrated pyrometer, the EDG should be idle started (450 rpm) for warmup and the standby heaters operation verified.
  • For an emergency start, the EDG requires NO support from other plant systems except 125 VDC from its respective DC bus. Long term operation, greater than 1 hour, requires 480 VAC power for the fuel transfer system.
  • If a Unit 2[1] EDG is removed from service for an extended Allowed Outage Time (AOT) of greater than 72 hours, a Unit 1[2] EDG shall be removed from service only for maintenance required to ensure or restore OPERABILITY of the Unit 1[2] EDG and for a period NOT to exceed 72 hours per ADM-17.16, Implementation of the Configuration Risk Management Program.
