Q
  1. What does it mean if the bottom green bar on the FD fan Master % output bar is ahead of the top green bar? What does the yellow bar indicate?
A

The green bars indicate the percentage of output of each FD fan. (East and West). If the bottom green bar is ahead of the top green bar, the fans are biased higher to the east. The yellow bar indicates the demand of the fans.

Q
  1. What are you enabling when you call up the turbine fuel trip cutout overlay and click on the enable button?
A

Enable the boiler to tie to the turbine, if one trips the other will trip

17
Q
  1. If the boiler will not go into purge, how can you find out what is holding it out?
A

On the burner control page click the boiler purge permit button and the permissives that have not been met will be highlighted in red

18
Q
  1. When the O2 master is in auto, what is it controlling?
A

FD fan speed to control excess O2 to setpoint

19
Q
  1. How do you change O2 set point on the O2 controller?
A

Excess 02 page click on the up or down arrows or manually enter set point value.

20
Q
  1. Explain the two-step operation to trip a condensate booster pump?
A

Decrease fluid drive to minimum, trip the pump by clicking the safe button click safe button again to get the NAT on the motor control station

21
Q
  1. Explain the procedure for enabling the FW/Drum Pressure control.
A

The controller becomes active when both the startup valve and SUBFP controls are placed in auto and the #3 heater inlet is closed

22
Q
  1. What should the set point be for the FW/Drum pressure control?
A

450-550 psi

23
Q
  1. What is the procedure when getting off of the FW/Drum pressure control to #3 inlet valve?
A

Continually monitor drum level. Between 900 - 1000 psi swap to #3 heater inlet valve. Equalize the feed pump and drum pressure, take the piddle valve to manual and begin opening the #3 inlet valve. As #3 inlet valve opens, back out the piddle valve. If the piddle valve is left in auto it will back out by itself.

24
Q
  1. How do you trip the MBFP?
A

Ensure that the SUBFP is maintaining drum level, decrease MBFP to 3000 RPM and click on the safe button on the MBFP control station.

25
Q
  1. What are the permits to latch the turbine on the Turbine Master Screen?
A 
Back pressure below 5”
Steam seals I/S
Min of 18.5” vacuum
EH system I/S
Seal oil system I/S
Auto stop oil pressure
SOB and BOP pumps running, DC oil pump in auto
Thrust bearing, low bearing oil pressure, overspeed and low vacuum trips reset
Generator alarms reset
26
Q
  1. Explain how you would put a coal mill in service by using the coal mill screen.
A

Have operator check mill and feeder to be started, also load feeder Belt and put in remote.

  1. Bag house or precipitator in service
  2. Pull up mill graphic
  3. Ensure mill ready and ignition permits met.
  4. Exhauster inlet damper and hot air damper in auto (set point at 150°).
  5. Exhauster discharge gate open.
  6. Feeder control station at minimum and in manual.
  7. Turn siren on 2 minutes prior to starting mill.
  8. Watch opacity and start on new 6-minute average.
  9. Start mill motor and watch amps raise and lower to normal
  10. Open hot air gate, observing temperatures to 110 to 120°
  11. Start feeder at minimum
  12. Ensure feeder speed increases to 30% minimum.
  13. After 50 seconds, slowly increase feeder speed monitoring other feeders ensuring that they equalize.
  14. Maintain ignition permit for 3 minutes, once feeder speeds are equal place feeder in auto.
27
Q
  1. What does it take to get a “Mill Ready” white light located on the feeder motor MSS station? Ignition permit?
A

Mill ready:

  1. Breaker racked in.
  2. Safe run in run.

  6. Feeder in remote.
  7. Feeder inlet gate open and belt loaded

Ignition permit:

  1. 3 out of 4 igniters in service or
  2. Adjacent feeder speed above 50% or main gas elevation in service.
  3. Air flow greater than 30% but less than 40%
  4. Tilts at zero and in manual.
28
Q
  1. On the Generator Master screen, explain how you would put the regulator in service.
A
  1. Close in field breaker and ensure you see a “NAC”
  2. Close in VR control switch
  3. Observe generator voltage increases to approximately 24KV, do not let voltage exceed 25KV. Open field breaker if voltage increases past 25KV
  4. Increase voltage with the voltage adjuster to 24KV if needed
  5. Place voltage regulator mode control switch to “auto” once the “Ready To Transfer” light is backlight
29
Q
  1. What control station must be in auto before you can roll the turbine from the ATC Master screen?
A

Turbine master

30
Q
  1. On the LMCC screen, what does it take to get the “Boiler follow” light to light up? Turbine follow?
A

Boiler follow - place turbine master in manual

Turbine follow - place boiler master in manual

31
Q
  1. What must happen in order to get the “MW Control” light to come on?
A

Boiler master, turbine master and fuel/air must be in auto

32
Q
  1. Explain how you would put #8 LP feed water heater in service from the LP feed water heater screen.
A

Reset heater trip.

  1. Place A and B valves in auto.
  2. Ensure set point is at zero.
  3. Open extraction block valve approx. 20% to warm up heater.
  4. Once heater is warmed up open extraction block valve fully.
33
Q
  1. Explain what will happen if the Water Induction Protection System (WIPS) operates on one of the HP feed water heaters.
A

It will trip the heater and cause the by-pass to open, once the by-pass is open the inlet and outlet valves on the heater will close. The extraction block valve will also close.
