Procedure Title

Gas Turbine Generator Commissioning Procedure

Test the „Fail-Safe Solenoids‟ The term „fail-safe solenoid‟ describes any solenoid that is required to be independently deenergized in the event the unit is to be tripped. A fail-safe solenoid can be identified by the presence of master protective relay contacts in its circuit. Because these solenoids are hardwired to master protective relay normally open contacts it will ensure that the fail-safe solenoid will be de-energized when a trip signal is received. During normal unit operation, a fail-safe solenoid is normally energized and de-energized by an interposing relay that is operated by a PLC output.

3.2. Discrete Input Checks Discrete or Digital Inputs: Discrete inputs are listed in the IO list. The preferred method to check the integrity of discrete inputs is to simulate the process condition operating the field device, for example, by applying process pressure to a pressure switch. Toggling the actual device is the next best method. Jumpering or removing wires is also acceptable where simulation or toggling is not possible. When jumpering, always jumper at the field device. Each input should be verified to the PLC, HMI screen and/or alarm per the IO list. Verify that the field device is in its proper state per the IO list. If not, set device to proper state and correct the software, I/O list or drawing as required. Verify description is correct.

Record data

Check Completed

Completed by / date

Verify that all discrete inputs are connected at the panel per the Turbine Controller drawing. Check for grounds on field wiring. If a ground is found, isolate field circuits to locate ground. Apply power to the discrete input circuits by closing the appropriate circuit breaker or inserting the required fuse (refer to Turbine Controller drawing).

3.6. Discrete Output Checks Verify that all discrete outputs and any field devices driven by these outputs are connected at the control panel per the Turbine Controller drawing. Contacts being driven by discrete outputs may be „wet‟ with power supplied by the ICS system or may be „dry‟ with power being supplied from another source. Refer to the Turbine Controller drawing. Some discrete outputs may drive Motor Control Center devices. Verify that all Motor Control Center circuits are locked out or safe to operate. MCC function checks are done in section 3.9. Use the following procedures as a guide and verify each discrete output in the IO list. Record data

Check Completed

Using the IO list and the Turbine Controller drawing as a guide, toggle each PLC discrete output. Verify that the field device controlled by the relay changes state as the PLC output is toggled. For certain solenoids, the Master Protective Circuit must be energized; see the Master Protective Circuit checks. If it is not possible to verify a change in the field device, use a multimeter at the field device interface point to verify a change in the circuit. Verify that the relay contacts are in the proper deenergized state, e.g., the NC contacts are closed when the relay is de-energized.

4.0 System Checks 4.1 Electro-hydraulic actuator Tests Application: This section provides instructions for calibration of an electro-hydraulic actuator with servo valve and LVDT/RVDT position feedback. (Check box if this section is not applicable for this commissioning) Feedback Calibration For each device listed on the Electro-hydraulic Actuator Calibration Table below, perform the following steps: 

Position feedback (LVDT/RVDT) calibration



Actuator Stroke Test

Ensure that the fuel supply is mechanically isolated from the turbine fuel system by something other than the gas turbine controller. A Signal conditioner is used to convert the LVDT feedback from the actuator to a 4-20 mA signal for the turbine controller. The purpose of these checks is to calibrate the signal conditioner so that the LVDT feedback accurately represents actuator position. This requires driving the actuator against its „closed end‟ mechanical stop and adjusting the signal conditioner, then driving the actuator against its „open end‟ mechanical stop and adjusting the signal conditioner and repeating the procedure until fully closed and fully open consistently yields values as close to 20 and 4 mA as possible. This procedure requires an HMI access level of maintenance or higher.

Actuator LVDT/RVDT Calibration Record data

Check Completed by Completed / date

Reference the relevant sheet of the controller drawing. Install an ammeter in series between the actuator LVDT signal conditioner and the controller analog input card. Install a mechanical indication device (dial indicator, protractor, etc) to show the actual mechanical travel of the actuator. Ensure that hydraulic oil pressure is available. If required, the hydraulic trip circuit will be enabled when the test is enabled. From the Maintenance Menu of the HMI, access the relevant Test display for the valve / actuator; this requires at least a maintenance level password. Enable the actuator Servo Test. Select „Enter Output To actuator Servo Coils‟ and enter a value (+ or – Vdc) that will move the actuator to the open position. With the actuator fully open, adjust the „zero‟ on the signal conditioner to yield a 4.00 mA feedback output signal to the turbine controller. Select „Toggle Voltage Sign‟. This should change the output to the servo coil move the actuator to the closed end stop. With the actuator fully closed, adjust the „span‟ on the signal conditioner to yield a 20.00 mA feedback output signal to the turbine controller. Continue back and forth from fully closed to fully open, adjusting the span and zero to get as close to 20.00 mA and 4.00 mA as possible. Record the data in the LVDT calibration section of the table below. Doc ID: TIS-CS-GT-G-01

4.3. Synchronization Checks Application: This document provides instructions for performing Manual Synchronization, and applies units regardless of the Exciter/Voltage Regulator applied. PHASE ROTATION CHECKS Required Tools: Voltmeter rated for generator terminal voltage, high voltage gloves, face shield and ground mat. A full voltage test with “hot sticks” across like phases is highly recommended. A full voltage rotation test consists of utilizing a voltmeter rated for the voltage of the generator. The following is a short procedure that should be carried out by qualified personnel only. Ensure that the breaker is racked out and in the test position before performing checks. Locate a high voltage test stick for checking the voltage difference (hence phase angle) between the Bus and Generator Phase A, then B and then C. Only persons with proper training should attempt this procedure. Record data

Check Completed

Completed by / date

Verify that field wiring between the generator control panel and the switchgear is complete and correct. Turn the voltage regulator off. Tape off area for testing personnel only. Rack out generator breaker and expose bus bars. Verify the breaker close circuit is disabled and that synchronizing is OFF. Verify bus voltage and frequency readings on control panel meters. Record readings. Start the unit and bring it to synchronous speed. Start the voltage regulator. At the generator control panel, verify that the synchronizing lights and the synchroscope are functioning.

At the generator control panel, verify that Voltage Raise and Lower Switch is working. Verify that the raise and lower voltage buttons are working on the HMI. At the generator control panel, verify that Governor Raise and Lower Switch is working. Verify that the raise and lower speed/load buttons are working on the HMI. Adjust generator voltage and speed until the generator and bus voltage and frequency as indicated on the meters are the same, with the synchroscope is rotating slowly in the fast direction. When the sync lights are extinguished and the sync needle at 12 o‟clock position, verify that Phase A Generator-to-Bus voltage difference is zero using the high voltage test sticks. At 6 o‟clock verify that Phase A Generator-to-Bus voltage difference is at the maximum voltage. This proves that the synch scope indicates inphase when the buses are actually in phase. When the sync lights are extinguished and the sync needle at 12 o‟clock position, verify that Phase B Generator-to-Bus voltage difference is zero using the high voltage test sticks. At 6 o‟clock verify that Phase B Generator-to-Bus voltage difference is at the maximum voltage. This proves that the synch scope indicates inphase when the buses are actually in phase.
