Q

Condensate Pumps: Trips and Interlocks

A

→trip on Lo-Lo Level in (0.2’) hotwell (2/3 coincidence)
→discharge valve and pump controlled via same H/S: taking H/S to start opens discharge valve; pump starts once valve is 10% open

→if pump doesn’t start once discharge valve is 10% open, valve auto closes
→overcurrent must be reset locally at breaker via keyswitch (normal for most of our non-safety pumps)

Note: has been found that >80% RTP, MFPs will trip on Condensate Pump trip

Q

Tech Spec 3.7.6 CST Minimum Level (Modes 1-3)

A

→Minimum level of 53% (244,000 gallons)
→applicable in Modes 1-3

When activated either generator lockout relay (86-1/1G or 86-2/1G) will initiate the following:
→Turbine trip →opens Generator output breakers 8000/8010 (U1) or 8020/8030 (U2) →Exciter Field Breaker opens →trips non-safeguards normal supply breakers to 6.9 kV from UTs →stops MT cooling →stops UT cooling →stops Isophase Bus Duct cooling →enables transformer fire protection deluge valves
26
The following events will initiate a generator lockout: (17)
The following events will initiate a generator lockout: **1. Total loss of field** 2. 345 KV system voltage less than 85% in conjunction with a total loss of field 3. Field ground 4. Pilot exciter short **5. Generator phase differential** 6. Stator ground **7. Distance protection/ Main transformer ground: the distance protection or a ground on either main transformer has a 1.4 second time delay; trips make up step 2 in the ground fault protection scheme** 8. Main transformer sudden pressure 9. Unit auxiliary transformer phase differential 10. Primary trip signal for generator output breaker 8000 or 8010 (8020 or 8030) 11. Volts per hertz **12. Generator-transformer phase differential** 13. Unit auxiliary transformer sudden pressure 14. Unit auxiliary transformer over current 15.

27
AC Seal Oil Pumps
→1 in service, 1 in standby →79 gpm PDP →Pump A powered from uB3-1 →Pump B powered from uB4-1 →normal seal oil pressure maintained at 12-15 psid →standby pump auto starts on low system pressure of 10 psid
28
DC Seal Oil Pump
→powered by uD2-2 →auto starts on low system pressure of 5 psid →if no seal oil pumps can be started within an hour, shut down the unit and reduce H2 pressure to 2 psig (per ABN-402) →recirc solenoid valves auto close on loss of seal oil pressure (<1.5 psid) to prevent H2 leakage
29
Exciter Enclosure Emergency Ventilation Purpose and Setpoint
→provided to permit continued operation in the event of a cooler failure →louvers in the hot (lower compartment) and cold (exciter enclosure) air compartments are automatically opened by actuators admitting air from outside the exciter enclosure and discharging the hot air through openings below the coolers. →Setpoint: 122°F
30
Excitation Current Flowpath
→Pilot Exciter: permanent magnets send AC to TVR →TVR sends variable DC to Main Exciter stator →Main Exciter Stator sends AC to Main Exciter Rotor →Main Exciter Rotor sends AC to to Rectifier Wheels →Rectifier Wheels send DC to Main Generator Rotor (a.k.a. field winding) →Rotor rotation feeds AC to Main Generator Stator →Main Generator Stator feeds AC to electrical system grid
31
How do we ensure that Instrument Air doesn't mix with hydrogen inside the Main Generator?
When Instrument Air is not in use, it is physically disconnected, so there is no flow path into the generator.
32
Indication of a turbine runback in effect?
→ALB-6D Win 1.9 "ANY TURB RUNBACK EFFECTIVE" will be lit →will not be lit if already below runback power setpoint →for auto runbacks, the annunciator on Digital Control System (DCS) is illuminated for **9 minutes**
33
Auto Runbacks
→HDP Trip: 35% per min to 800 MW (70%) →MFP or Condensate Pump Trip: 35% per min to 700 MW (60%) →C3 / C4: 200% per min for 1½ sec, then off for 28½ sec; repeat until condition clears
34
Manual Runbacks

35
How does the Main Turbine Turning Gear work?
Turning Gear is supplied from 2 valves: →requires both valves to be open to initially roll the turbine →speed varies between 80 and 190 rpm dependent upon whether vacuum established →auto close if thrust bearing LO pressure 25# →alarm actuated if EITHER valve is open AND <9 rpm on main turbine →neither valve will open if generator breakers are closed u-HV-6554A Turning Gear Valve #1: →auto opens at 230 rpm decreasing →auto closes at 260 rpm increasing →manually operated <50 rpm due to lack on fine control at low speed u-HV-6554B Turning Gear Valve #2: →used to initially roll the turbine →auto closes at 15 rpm increasing →can be manually opened <15 rpm
36
Turbine Exhaust Hood Spray Valve
→solenoid valve opens at 194°F with >1340 rpm →sprays condensate into the area to lower temps →happens mostly at low power with low steam flow available to cool area →condensate line taps off header before drain coolers →solenoid valve must be manually closed once temp restored, but will auto close when high temp clears if LP turbine inlet steam pressure ≥7 psia →separate MOV provided if solenoid valve insufficient to maintain temps →if exhaust temp can't be maintained <212°F, turbine is manually tripped
37
Main Turbine Aux Lube Oil Pumps
→3 pumps, A, B, & C →powered from uB1, uB2, uB3 →A and B auto start at 110 psig →C auto starts at 103 psig →during normal startup, Aux Lube Oil Pumps can be shut off around 1700 rpm because Main Oil Pump will have developed enough pressure
38
Main Turbine DC Lube Oil Pump
→powered from uD2 →auto starts at 32 psig bearing header pressure →only supplies bearings
39
Main Turbine Shaft Lift Oil Pump (SLOP)
→auto starts at 510 rpm decreasing →auto stops at 540 rpm increasing
40
Main Turbine Main Oil Pump
→located in HP turbine front pedestal →driven by gear attached to HP turbine shaft →provides all the lubrication needs of the Main Turbine / Main Generator once turbine reaches 1800 rpm →during normal startup, Aux Lube Oil Pumps can be shut off around 1700 rpm because Main Oil Pump will have developed enough pressure
41
Shaft / Gland Seal Steam Systems
→initially supplied from Aux Steam; as turbine power increases, turbine becomes self-sealing at ≈40% turbine power →Gland Steam supply header maintained at 4” WC via AOVs (supply and leakoff); valves fail as is on loss of air or power →leakoff directed to FW Heaters 5 and 6 →leakoff header from Gland Seals and leakoff from stop and control valves is directed to Gland Steam Condenser →Gland Steam exhaust uGS-0141, 0142 vented to PPV to ensure monitoring if SG tube leak →opening the emergency bypass to atmosphere on either the Main or Auxiliary Gland Steam Condenser will result in an unmonitored release to atmosphere
42
EHC Pumps and Pressures

43
EHC Operating Temperatures
→EHC fluid maintained at 131°F ± 9°F to maintain constant viscosity for proper operation of turbine valves →minimum 70°F for starting EHC pumps →Fyrquel is used because of its high flashpoint (475°F)
44
EHC Control Fluid Pressure, Function
→114 psig fluid directed to Startup Fluid Solenoids, Trip Block Valve and EHC Converter →used to control the overall hydraulic system.
45
EHC Startup Fluid Pressure, Function
→114 psig fluid supplied from the Startup Fluid Solenoids and directed to Test Valves, which are used to stroke test stop and control valves →essentially used to reset the system for power operation.
46
EHC Trip Fluid Pressure, Function
→114 psig fluid supplied from the Trip Block Valve and directed to the EHC Converter, Test Valves, Reset Valve, Trip Test Valves and HP/LP Stop Valves →used to open the HP stop valves and is the source for Secondary Fluid. →Trip Fluid also ports 445 psig fluid to open the LP Stop valves
47
EHC Secondary Fluid Pressure, Function
→114 psig fluid coming from the EHC Converter and supplied to HP and LP Control Valves →used to control the HP and LP Control Valves by porting 455 psig fluid to actually operate the valves
48
Digital Control System Load Rejection Feature
→designed to prevent overspeed of turbine in event of load rejection →initiated by: →any power level, load rejection >290MWe per second →lower loads, IF actual load drops below 160MWe, AND actual load is 160 Mwe lower than load target →when circuit initiated, EHC will transfer from load control to speed control →speed control setpoint automatically set to value ≈ current actual load →reset C-7 as required once desired load is reached to prevent instrument failure from causing spurious steam dump actuation
49
What do the HP and LP Stop and Control Valves do on a Turbine Trip?
Valves close to prevent overspeeding of the turbine. LP Control Valves only throttle down on large loss of electrical load to help overspeeding of the Main Turbine. Note: during normal operation at power, HP & LP Stop Valves are normally open with LP Control Valves fully open and HP Control Valves 50% open.
50
Main Turbine Speed Signal Probes
→total of 8 speed probes (6 used, 2 installed spares) →3 probes provide input to software overspeed →3 probes provide input to hardware overspeed →each of the six speed channels (3 for hardware overspeed, 3 for the software overspeed) is automatically tested once every 24 hours when turbine >40 rpm →tests verify that speed channels trip when speed is simulated >1980 rpm
51
Main Turbine Bearing Temperature Limit?
if bearing temp ≥245°F, turbine must be tripped immediately
52
Turbine Trip Hardware Overspeed Subsystem
Hardware Overspeed Sub-system utilizes a set of three dedicated speed channels, each of which provides a trip signal to the Relay Protection System. Upon receipt of trip signals from any two of these speed channels, the relay logic de-energizes all three output relays which subsequently de-energize all three Turbine Trip Block solenoid valves, causing the turbine to trip.
53
Main Turbine Trips
→Hardware / Software Overspeed >1980 rpm →Low lubricating oil pressure (2/3) 25 psig (2 sec time delay) →Condenser A (or B) (2/3) 21" Hg AND 900 rpm →Excessive shaft displacement (2/3 probes) > ± 39 mils →Trip Fluid Pressure <29 psig → **P-14 Hi-Hi SG Level** 84% U1, 81.5% U2 (2/3); controlling level channel not used → **P-4** → **PW Head Tank Lo Level** (2/2) <78% (if turbine >1710 rpm) → **PW Lo Flow to Stator** (2/2) <610 gpm (if turbine >1710 rpm) → **PW Lo Flow to Rotor** (2/2) <580 gpm (if turbine >1710 rpm) → **PW Low Flow to Bushings (A, B or C)** (2/3) <23.3 gpm (if turbine >1710 rpm) → **PW Hi Temp** (2/2) >140°F (if turbine >1710 rpm) → **MSR A or B Shell Level Hi-Hi** (2/3) → **Main Condenser Vacuum** <21" Hg (if turbine >900 rpm) →Generator terminal box high water level (2/3 level switches) →MSR A or B Separator Level Hi (2/3) →Generator Lockout 86-1 →Loss of Field →TG Protection →SSPS / AMSAC →Manual from MCB →Manual Local PB →SI (indirectly; not a direct trip)

Heater Drank Tank Level Control Failures / Malfunction
HDP Common Discharge LV-2592 controlled by auctioneered HI signal from LT-2592A/B: →failing low has minimal impact →failing high will cause 2592 will go full open →could result in HDT level lowering to 2/2 level HDP trip (5%) HDT-02 Alt. Drain Valve LV-2594 controlled by auctioneered LOW signal from LT-2594B/C: →failing high will have minimal effect →failing low will cause 2594 to close if open Note: the Lo-Lo Level HDT-02 5% trip of the HDPs comes off of different level transmitters than the ones that control LV-2592 & 2594.

Extraction Steam Source and Application Points
72
SGBD HELB Isolation Valves u-HV-2397A through 2400A
→AFW Auto Start, Train B →HELB, Train B (120,000 lbm/hr, 240 gpm) →valves fail closed on loss of power or air →powered from uED2-1 HELB & SGBD Isolation - "AH, PHART."
73
SGBD Isolation Valves u-HV-2397 through 2400
→Train A uED1-1 →Train B uED2-1 →fail closed on loss of power or air →failure of either train solenoid will result in closure of valves Valves Close On: →P - Phase A (train related solenoid) →H - HELB, Train A (120,000 lbm/hr, 240 gpm) →A - AFW auto start (train related solenoid) →R - Rad Hi SGBD Sample Rad Monitor (RE-4200), Train A →T - Temperature Hi >150°F downstream of SGBD HX, Train A HELB & SGBD Isolation - "AH, PHART."
74
What is the max flow through SGBD filters?
→360 gpm per filter before resin beds →both filters normally in service
75
What sort of leakage are the SGBD demins designed to handle?
20 gpd primary to secondary leak with RCS activity equivalent to 1% fuel defect
76
→Max blowdown flow per SG? →Max blowdown flow total (all 4 SGs combined)?
→150 gpm →600 gpm
77
What is the max flow through SGBD bottom nozzles on the SGs?
→Unit 1 - 104 gpm →Unit 2 - 35 gpm Difference is due to difference in SG material wear properties.
78
How is flow rate from SGs to SGBD controlled?
→flow after HX throttled to ~200 psig through PV-5180 →manually controlled at CB-08 →this is what starts/stops flow when aligning
79
Once SGBD passes through the containment penetration, how many valves does each blowdown line have? What are they?
Each line has three valves: →SGBD Isolation Valves (CIVs) u-HV-2397-2400 ("PHART" Valves) →HELB Isolation Valves u-HV-2397A-2400A ("HA" valves) →flow balancing valves HV-5175-5178
80
Supplemental SG Blowdown Valves HV-2440 through 2443
→not always required to be open for U1 since bottom blowdown rate is much higher →fail open AOVs →position indication from ZL lights on MCB →no auto functions
81
How would the loss of SGBD affect the plant?
→SG pressure/temp rises (provides more steam to main turbine) →turbine control valves would close due to control circuit sensing that load has increased with no change in steam demand →amount of energy removed by Main Turbine remains the same; RCS temp would increase →Rx power would go down due to negative reactivity from temp increase →600 gpm flow ≈2.5% Rx power
82
How does SGBD discharge location affect flow?
→when flow is directed back to HX (to Heater Drains via HDT-01), Condensate = SGBD flow (preferred) →when flow is not directed back to HX (going to Main Condenser, CST, or Turbine Bldg Sump), Condensate = 2x SGBD flow →maintain condensate temp 35°F below Heater Drain Tank temp →prevents flashing to steam
83
What are the temperature limitations for SGBD?
→outlet temp from SGBD HX should be maintained <130°F to protect demin resin from damage
