Protection – General understanding?
What we already know.
n Operation of the BOILER, TURBINE, GENERATOR are closely coupled
n A trip on any one of the three has a direct impact on the continued operation of the other two causing interruption to power production process
n Why Trip – On occurrence of any unsafe or abnormal operating condition the BOILER, TURBINE, GENERATOR are tripped individually
Protection – General understanding?
What does TRIP mean
n Boiler trip : q Stops fuel feed to Furnaceq Purpose – To clear out combustibles from the Boiler and prevent any
explosive condition from persisting
n Turbine trip : q Close all steam admission valves (ESV, GOV Valves)q Purpose – Stop steam admission to ensure turbine coasts down and
Open all drain lines of steam admission pipes upstream / down stream valves to prevent accumulation of water which may enter the Turbine
n Generator trip : q Opens CB connecting Generator to Grid
n Purpose – Isolate system from faulty generatorq Opens Field Circuit Breaker to cut-off excitation

Situations Causing Explosive conditions?
Numerous situations can arise in connection with the operation of a boiler furnace that will produce explosive conditions.
q Interruption of Fuel or air supply or ignition energy to the burners.
q Fuel Leakage into an idle furnace and the ignition of the accumulation accumulation
q Repeated Unsuccessful attempts to light up without appropriate purging
q The Accumulation of an explosive mixture of fuel and air as a result of a complete furnace flameout
Requirement
Multiple burner boilers require two independent control systems.
q One to control steam production i.e. Boiler q One to control steam production i.e. Boiler Control System and
q One to control the fuel burning equipment i.e. Burner Management System
BMS - What are the basic Functions?

n Prevent firing unless a satisfactory furnace purge has first been completed.
n Prohibit start-up of the equipment unless certain permissive interlocks have first been completed.
Monitor and control the correct component sequencing during start-up and shut-n Monitor and control the correct component sequencing during start-up and shut-down of the equipment.
n Provide component condition feedback to the operator and, if so equipped, to the plant control systems and/or data loggers.
n Provide automatic supervision when the equipment is in service and provide means to make a Master Fuel Trip (MFT) should certain unacceptable firing conditions occur.
n Execute a MFT upon certain adverse unit operating conditions.
