The major equipment in thermal power stations are

Boiler

Power transmission and
Equipment

In boiler fuel fired and steam is generated and superheated under high pressure. This
superheated steam under high pressure is supplied to high pressure cylinder of steam turbine
and expanded the low pressure exhaust steam from HP cylinder is taken again to the boiler
and reheated.
The reheated steam is used in the intermediate pressure and low pressure cylinders of the
turbine for expansion and finally steam is dumped in to the condenser the condensate from
the condenser is extracted by a condensate extraction pump and flows to the desecrator
through a series of low pressures heaters. The feed water from the detractor is pumped back
to the boiler by the boiler feed pump through a jet of high-pressure heaters.
HP bypass station
The HP bypass station while operating with a LP bypass station enables boiler operation by
establishing steam flow from main steam line to cold reheat (CRH) line and from hot reheat
(HRH) line to condenser with out co-ordination with turbine.

What is HP bypass system The process of by passing the steam from HP turbine directly to cold reheat line (CRH) line is
known as HP-bypass. The equipment, which passes steam into the re-heater by passing the
HP casing of the turbine, is known HP bypass.
What is LP by-pass?
The equipment, which passes, steam directly in to the condenser by-passing the IP and LP
turbine casing and is known as LP bypass.
Why HP/LP bypass system?

E or quick rising of steam parameters.

Holding of seam parameter
Attaining steam purity
Protect the reheater from overheating as well as overpressuristation

The by-pass system will be operation during the following conditions

Warm start
Hot start
Load rejection
House load operation
Quick shut down of turbine
Turbine trip

HP bypass station consists of the following

Combined pressure reducing and de-superheating valve with electrohydraulic actuators of HP by pass (BP1 & BP)
Spray water isolation valve with electro-hydraulic actuator (BD valve)
Spray control valves with electro-hydraulic actuators for temperature
control (BPE1 & BPE2) of HP bypass.

LP bypass station consists of the following

Combined stop and control valves with electro-hydraulic actuators for LP bypass LPBP1,
LPBP2.
Spray control valves with electro-hydraulic actuators for temperature control (LPBE1 &
LPBE2) of LP by pass
NECESSITY How by pass system works

During turbine trip/load rejection

When turbine into takes place. The steam supply to turbine totally cut off from the main
steam line.
The high pressure and high temperature steam passes through the HP (high pressure) by pass
valve where the pressure of the steam is reduced and de-superheated steam than passes
through the re-heater to ensure minimum flow through reheater.
The hot low-pressure steam from the reheater outlet is once again isolated from the
intermediate & low-pressure turbines and by-passed through the low-pressure by-pass system
to condenser after pressure reduction and de-superheating.
Reheated steam after by passing IP and LP will pass through LP by pass station where its
pressure reduction & de-superheating takes place and finally dumped in to the condenser.
During short trip/load rejection
By this by-pass system a minimum circulation is maintained in the boilers tubes super heaters
and re-heaters with low firing rate during turbine trip.
When the turbine is ready for rolling the by pas system can be gradually closed to allow
steam to pass through the turbine as the high temperature high pressure steam in the main
steam line and the re-heater outlet are readily available for quick re-start.
Following the turbine trip if the boiler steam temperature is maintained just above the turbine
metal temperature. The unit can be put into operation as soon as the turbine is available for
re-start.
Necessity of HP-LP system

To establish required steam parameters at super-heater and re-heater

outlets in short time for best matching of turbine metal temperatures.
To handle the difference between team generated and that consumed by the
turbine under transient conditions the difference is fed to the condenser
Enables quicker warming up of steam lines
To protect re-heaters
To maintain main steam pressure of pre set value is main steam line during
start up

Graph between temperature and time for turbine and boiler

During shut-down
In this screen a graph is drawn showing the temperature of the boiler steam and the turbine
metal versus the time following a shutdown. The boiler steam temperature is shown in green
and that for the turbine metal temperature is red.

During start up
During the operation the steam temperature entering the turbine should always be higher than
the turbine metal temperature.
Once the short tripping is over turbine requires steam at higher temperature as the
temperature of the turbine parts have not cooled much during the short period due to effective
insulation and high mass of materials.
If a re-start is needed after shut down interval on its the boiler steam temperature Tbs is
much lower than the turbine metal TM temperature as can be seen from the graph.
Hence it will be necessary to raise the boiler steam temperature to a value higher than the
turbine metal temperature before any steam could be admitted in to the turbine.
This is necessary to avoid thermal stresses due to temperature change in the thick walled
component like the turbine this temperature rise is shown by the dotted line.
This temperature rise is shown by the dotted line for 1 and for 2 and for 3 at three different
rates of temperature rise which takes the time of T1,T2 and T3 respectively where T is a time
taken for the boiler to give the steam temperature higher than the turbine metal temperature
reduction in time T will allow a quick re-start of the unit
How to the reduce the time TB?
The boiler steam temperature can be raised faster by increasing the rate of firing, thus
increasing the boiler load this is due to the fact that the steam temperature is dependent on the
boiler load.
Boiler load can be increased only by opening of HP/LP bypass valves as turbine valves
cannot be opened due to temperature difference between main steam temperature & turbine
metal temperature.
Re-heater protection Function of reheater
Reheater is used to increase degree of superheat of exhaust steam from HP turbine.
Why re-heating is required If we consider the Rankin cycle with out reheating. The nos. of stage handling the steam
below the saturation line are more the blades of these stages are subjected to heavy erosion
caused by water droplets.
To minimize the erosion steam is taken from HP exhaust to re-heater where the heat is added
to increase the temperature of steam.

The nos. of stages handling wet steam is reduced.

Besides providing an effective means of reducing the moisture content of steam in LP
turbines I also reduces blades erosion and improves the stage efficiency. Re-heating makes it
possible to achieve higher thermal efficiency and larger power output.
ADVANTAGES Advantages of HP-LP bypass system are

PRDS valve
Function of PRDS valve
It reduces /maintains pressure of main steam equal to CRH line
Construction details
This screen shows the cut away view of the HP bypass valve. The main components are

The valve body

The valve steam
The value seat of the jet cage
The pressure seal plug
The bearing carrier and
The packing nut

Valve body
The valve body is made up of low alloy steel 2 and chromium and 1 molybdenum suitable
for high working temperature and pressure since these valve are normally kept closed and are
required to come in operation very quickly the design of the body has been arrived at after
considering the thermal stresses. To keep these thermal stresses low an attempt has been

made to keep the valve thickness as minimum as possible by selecting the shape of the body
as spherical and using a forged material instead of casting.
Valve system
Valve steam is o high chromium alloy steel with 11% chromium and 1% molybdenum this
material has a very high yield strength from a very high pressure to a low pressure this is
associated with sonic velocities resulting in large turbulence noise and vibration. Cross
turbulence creates high noise level whereas the fine turbulence disintegrates faster and causes
less noise. This can be achieved if the steam flow in its narrowest cross section is divided into
individual partial flows, which is sufficiently separate from one another.
Valve stem
This graph shows how the noise level is reduced by using a slotted stem.
A close up view of the slotted stem is shown in this screen.
The valve stem is guided at both its ends as shown in the diagram.
Valve seat
Valve seat is shown in red and is made up of low alloy steel with 2 and chromium and 1
molybdenum. To ensure complete seat tightness, this is sufficed with fast deposits at valve
stem-seating portion using heinous alloy.
Jet cage
Is made out of low alloy steel, which prevents direct impingement of spray water to the valve
body. It also creates turbulence in the steam water mixture for rapid evaporation. The shape
of the jet cage makes it flexible against stresses induced by vibration.
Pressure seal plug
Pressure seal plug is made out of low alloy steel to keep the bottom portion of the valve end
closed. Spray water is injected inside the valve through the inclined holes drilled in the
pressure seal plug. This also provides the bottom guide for the valve stem.
Bearing carrier
Shown in the red is the bearing carrier made out of satellite and provides upper guiding of the
stem. The link seat construction of the bearing carrier presents the transfer of vibration to the
gland packing.
Packing nut
Screw tight packing nut as shown in red is made out of 13% chromium steel and keeps the
gland packing sufficiently tightened to ensure leak tight gland.

HP-LP BYPASS SYSTEM IN LMW

Interlock and operation
Assessment

In LMW Russian design turbines the capacity of each HP and LP bypass system is 30%. In
this case if turbine trips he boiler also trips and each of these system is capable of handling
30% of the total steam capacity generation of the boiler.
In case of KWU turbines connected with a BHEL (combustion engineering) boiler , the Hp
by-pass is 60% bypass, there by, meaning that it can handle 60% of the steam generated by
the boiler and LP by pass is a 100% by pass, capable of handling the total steam generated by
the boiler. In this case on a turbine trip, boiler does not trip.
HP bypass systems in both LMW as well as KWU sets are the same. But LP by-pass system
is of different construction.
The main features of LPBP used in LMW are explained.

LP bypass pressure control valve The function of the LP bypass control system is to monitor the pressure in the reheat system
and to control it under certain operating conditions during start up and shut down and at
operation below minimum boiler load.
The volume of steam not utilized by the IP and LP cylinders of the turbine must be passed to
the condenser via the LP bypass valves.
This requires the bypass control system to maintain the pressure in the re-heater constant in
accordance with the pre-set value.
In the event of disturbances e.g. load shedding or trip-out the amount of excess reheat steam
passed to the condenser depends on the capacity of the condenser.
Function
LP by-pas station is utilized for following tasks

To control the steam pressure after re-heater

To establish flow of steam from reheat lines to condenser by its opening
proportional to the opening of HP bypass valve.
To release steam entrapped in HP turbine and reheater circuit in case the
generator circuit breaker opens.

TROUBLESHOOTINGS PROBLEMS FACED

Blocking of the small control
holes in the spool or in the
filter holders.

Blocking units
Choking of sintered bronze
filter

Seizing of the piston of

blocking elements in deblocked condition

PROBLEM CAUSE
Blocking of the small control
holes in the spool or in the
filter holders is primarily
caused by extraneous matters
in the hydraulic system.

Cleaning small control holes

as per the recommended
procedures given in O & M
instructions
Cleaning and if necessary
replacing the sintered bronze
filter

Whereas, choking of sintered

bronze filter can be caused
either by extraneous matters
in the hydraulic system or by
the precipitation of paraffin
like substance from the oil on
the filter
Fine extraneous matters
Seized blocking elements
getting into close clearance
cannot be serviced as such
(0.004 to 0.006 mm) between but can be repaired by
the spool guide bush and
piston.
1) Replacing the
damaged
piston with a
new oversized
one
2) Increasing the
corresponding
bore of piston
guide bush to
eliminate any
damage marks
followed by
ultrasonic
cleaning etc.

Step 1
BP1 valve not opening on pressing push button.
Check if flickering lamp is on.
Tap indicator if indicator is lightly stuck up it will move .
Step 2
Check if sufficient oil pressure from SOL10 card
Step 3

REMEDY
The inoperative servo valves
can be serviced by

Check LEDs in card fronts in BP1 control loop.

Step 4
Check voltage at cubical terminals
Step 5
Check if valve is opening actually.
Step 6
Check voltage at junction voltage
Recommendation
It is advised that spars blocking elements to be kept on stock as recommended in O & M
instructions.
Precaution
If power supply fails by which HP-LP bypass control system becomes inoperative closing
signal impulse under REMOTE MANUAL operation will no larger be available to the
concerned valves.
Under such conditions the valve may change its position in absence of stay-put facility due to
seized blocking elements.
To avoid this you should have an un-interrupter power supply to HP-LP bypass system.
