Abnormal situations / contingencies
• Tripping of an auxiliary -- Stand-by should take-over, or run-back / interlocked trip.
• Parameters deviate from normal -- safety valves open, HP / LP bypass, operator intervention on alarms.
• Tripping of a Unit causes thermal shocks and reduces plant life; should be avoided / prevented as long as possible.

• Coal to electricity efficiency : 30 – 35 %.
• Variable cost : 114 p/kWh, if coal cost (landed) is Rs 1500 / ton, consumption = 0.7 kg / kWh, aux = 8%.
• MCR goes up (down) when circulating water temperature goes down (up).
• Over-load capability: design margins, VWO, short-time over-stressing.
![Page 9: 1 GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES -- Bhanu Bhushan -- a3bhanu@gmail.com (August, 2011)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe01a28abf838cb3429/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

• Oil support required below about 60% MCR, depending on which mills are operating.
• Turbine blades overheat if load < 20% MCR.
• Start-ups and controlled shut-offs require a few hours each, considerable operator effort & alertness, extra cost and reduce life.
• Daily shut-off not recommended, but Units with high fuel cost can be boxed up by turn.

Combined cycle power plants
• Gas to electricity efficiency : 45 – 50 %.
• Critical parameter : Firing temp. of GT; direct effect on MW, efficiency, life, cost.
• MCR goes up (down) considerably when ambient temperature goes down (up).
• O/L capability only at the expense of life.
• GT operation at part - load is not desirable; one GT in a module should be switched off.

• All CCPPs should be preparing for 2 - shift operation; may be Module-wise by turn.
• Gas supply system must have adequate “line - pack”.
• Frequency response only at the expense of life or efficiency. Operated in constant firing temperature mode. No FGMO.
• Full-load trip causes high thermal stresses and reduces GT life by 500 hours.

Nuclear power plants
• No bulk mining; no bulk transport.
• No ash; no CO2 emission.
• Reactor power controlled by inserting / withdrawing the control rods.
• The critical parameter for stable reactor control : temperature differential of coolant across the reactor.

Impact of frequency variations on generating stations
• When frequency falls, output capability of plants of all type goes down, due to slowing down of auxiliaries (for thermal & nuclear), and due to slowing down of compressors (for gas turbines).
• Frequency fluctuations have serious implications for Nuclear, but can be safely withstood by plants of other types.

• Turbine speed• Bearing lubrication; H2 sealing• Even cooling of turbine casing & rotor• Steam temperature & pressure• Furnace draft• Condenser vacuum• Reactor cooling• Plant lighting• Controls, alarms, fire-fighing.
