READINESS CRITERION
Commissioning activities in hydro project begin with the filling of waterways on
the down stream side (common tailrace) and up stream side (Head Race or
Penstock) of the machine. This implies readiness of hydro set which broadlycomprises of following equipments and their readiness criteria :
1. Draft Tube and Liner, Spiral casing, Tail Race Channel, Penstock and gates etc. for
their erection and checks from the point of view of cleanliness, civil grouting work for
the hollow portions between metal and concrete contact surfaces etc.
2. It is to be ensured that there is no impediments in the free flow of water from any
projecting lumps of concrete/reinforcement rods etc.
3. The grouting plugs have been welded and flush grinded as per Drawing requirement
and no obstruction exists from any local bending of metallic liners etc. in the water
path.
4. Painting work of underwater parts with black anticorrosive paint has been completed.

The Machine itself has been made ready mechanically along with its auxiliaries. This will
include the following major equipments/systems/works and other preparations :
Turbine & Turbine Pit :
1. Runner blade and chamber clearances have been checked and found OK to ensure that
no rubbing is likely to occur during start up and running.
2. Air inflated repair seal of Turbine shaft is OFF and cooling water to working seal willbe available when CW system is charged.

Phase sequence of Generator voltage and Gridvoltage must be the same.
Two voltages must be equal, i.e. IV1I - IV2I=0.
The generator frequency must be nearly equal tothe Grid frequency, i.e. f1- f2 0.
At the instant of synchronizing, the two voltagesmust be almost co-phasal, i.e. 12 0.
The
followingconditionsmust besatisfied:
Finally the machine is synchronized with the grid at
the partial load.

The degree of criticality of these parameters are in thefollowing order:
,V,f.
The inertia of the incoming machine being very smallagainst that of the grid, even with considerable f, themachine will easily be pulled into synchronism.
Voltage difference, if large, can result in heavy exchange ofVAR and can result in voltage fluctuations, if large enoughleading to instability.
Large can result in heavy exchange if MW, often goodenough to cause torsional damage to the shaft system.

PROCEDURE:
The load shall be increased in steps and load rejection test made at
successively higher loads up to the maximum expected to be placedon the unit. For example: rejections may be made at 25%, 50%, 75%and 100% of the rated load as well as from the maximum load thatmay be agreed upon.
Two rejections shall be made at each load. One rejection is made
under governor control to no load gate or needle opening, the othermay be an emergency shutdown by stop solenoid.
If specified, load rejection tests shall be made by means of theemergency valve or by any other emergency device.
After the completion of each load rejection test, the pressure rise andturbine speed rise data shall be analyzed to ensure that the specifiedsafe limits will not be exceeded during the next higher load rejectiontest.
