  1. Design Criteria forLP BYPASS SYSTEM

  2. LP Bypass system provide a very effective means of controlling reheat –steam flow during • Startup • Low-load / part load operation • Sudden load rejection

  3. It enhances fast starting capability of turbines from all initial conditions e.g. Cold condition Warm condition Hot Condition

  4. LP steam-bypass system operate in parallel with the turbine Protect Condenser from excessive temperature and pressure that could result from sudden injection of superheated steam

  5. Ensure coordinated control between HP and IP turbine control valves and the steam bypass systems to operate at any remaining load Subsequently reloaded in a controlled manner

  6. Schematic Diagram of Bypass System

  7. The controls for LP Bypass system are combination of electrical and well proven hydraulic system • Electro-hydraulic converter provides the necessary link between hydraulic actuator and electrical system

  8. The LPBypass Controller acts as a maximum pressure Controller • It regulates the reheater pressure either to the fixed set value or suitably derived variable set value • If the reheater pressure exceeds this set value, the Controller causes the electro-hydraulic converter to operate and initiate bypass operation

  9. Set Value formation The Two set values – fixed and variable are formed for the LPBypass control system set value to be used is determined by a maximum value selector For the formation of variable set point, a pressure transducer is used to measure the steam pressure in HP turbine

  10. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS RESULTING FROM LOAD REJECTION Upon receiving load rejection signal from electrical system: • Turbine Speed Controller assumes control of the TG set • It initiates fast closure of HP & IP turbine control valves through position controller • Fast closure of turbine control valves cause an immediate decrease in HP 1st. Stage pressure

  11. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS RESULTING FROM LOAD REJECTION • Pressure increases in main and reheat steam systems • These pressure changes are sensed by HP and LP Bypass controllers • Respective bypass valves are opened

  12. If LP steam- bypass system fails or the condenser cannot accept LP bypass steam , Safety Valves open and dump steam to atmosphere

  13. Hydraulic Mode of Operation • The controller controls plunger coil of Electro Hydraulic Converter • With increase in voltage, the jet pipe is deflected towards right • Converter piston moves downwards leading to generation of LPB signal oil through Follow-up pistons provided in the hydraulic control system

  14. Hydraulic Mode of Operation • Two Follow-up Pistons actuate and open first stage of water injection valve • Remaining two Follow-up Pistons generate signal oil for opening LPBypass stop and control valve

  15. ADJUSTMENT OF LPBYPASS CONVERTER

  16. Design of LPBypass Valves for 210 MW Steam Turbine • Controlled by 8 bar mineral oil

  17. Design of LPBypass Valve for 500 MW Steam Turbine • Controlled by 36 bar FRF

  18. Protection Devices • Low Vacuum Condensor Protection • Spray Water Pressure Switch • Condensor Temperature Protection

  19. Protection Devices cause closure of bypass station in case of following eventualities • Condensor vacuum is low ( > 0.6 bar absolute ) • Spray water pressure is low (< 8.5 / 9.5 bar ) • Temperature of condenser body is high (> 90° C )

  20. Water Injection Valves operate in two stages • Second stage Water Injection Valves open when steam flow through LPBypass Valves increases more than 45 %
