Q

For the Turbocharger, describe its operational design basis and the normal operating range.

A

Uses hot exhaust gases to drive a turbine that takes in fresh air, compresses it (15 to 24 psig), and forces the air into the cylinders on the intake stroke. Exhaust temperatures (loaded) reach approximately 1200°F. To prevent heat damage to the turbocharger and to ensure cool air is discharged into the intake manifold, jacket water and lube oil are piped to the turbocharger. At full rated load and speed, the maximum allowable turbocharger inlet exhaust gas temperature is 1350°F

Q

What are the features of the Emergency Diesel Generator Output Breaker Interlocks for automatic operations?

A
  • Both incoming bus supply breakers (i.e., from both the Safeguard Bus 152-105 and SUT 1‑2 152-106) are open.
  • The generator overcurrent/differential lockout relay is reset.
  • No bus overcurrent lockout relay present.
  • Adequate EDG output voltage (as determined by the “127D” voltage relays [3/3 logic]).
  • Confirmed 2400 V AC bus load shed (3 and 4 together = 106-D1 relay made up) The confirmed load shed is necessary to assure that the bus is sufficiently clear to preclude excessive blockloading of the generator upon breaker closure.

Q

What lockout protection is provided to the Emergency Diesel Generator output breakers?

A

Lockout protection is provided to preclude auto-closure of the EDG breaker to a faulted bus. The bus lockout protection initiates when the normal supply (Station Power/Safeguards) breaker trips on overcurrent. The EDG will automatically start on an undervoltage signal but the overcurrent trip will block the EDG breaker automatic closure until the overcurrent lockout relay has been manually reset.

Q

What is the Woodward Governor mechanical subsystem for speed/load control for the Emergency Diesel Generator?

A
  • It provides backup for the electrical governor during EDG operation.
  • The mechanical governor limits fuel to the engine to maintain the speed at setpoint.
  • The speed setpoint is maintained higher than the electronic governor setpoint.
  • Speed droop is applied to the speed setpoint to ensure proper operation (stability) when the EDG is paralleled to the grid.
  • A speed droop control knob located on the governor sets the speed droop input. If the EDG is operated in the isochronous (unit) mode, the speed droop must be set to zero to maintain frequency at 60Hz

Q

What is the Woodward Governor electrical subsystem for speed/load control for the Emergency Diesel Generator?

A
  • The electronic governor control system normally assumes control of the engine fuel supply after intial startup.
  • It uses the electrical input section of the governor/actuator to control the generator output frequency in the unit mode or load in parallel mode.
  • The Woodward EGA Controller is located at Panel C-22 (C-26).
  • The electronic governor operates in the isochronous (unit) mode when the PARALLEL/UNIT selector switch is in the UNIT position and in the droop mode when in the PARALLEL position.

Q

What is the Unit Control Mode of the Woodward Governor electrical subsystem for speed/load control for the Emergency Diesel Generator?

A
  • Established by the unit/parallel switch in the UNIT position
  • Used to control frequency during emergency operation when the generator operates independently from other 60Hz power sources.
  • In Unit mode, load shed breaker interlocks assure that the generator can only be connected to a dead bus.
  • Loading of the generator is “controlled” by the load shed system (which clears most loads from the bus automatically before generator connection), in conjunction with the DBA/NSD sequencer (which “controls” the maximum step loading and the total generator load automatically following connection to the bus).

Q

What is the Parallel Control Mode of the Woodward Governor electrical subsystem for speed/load control for the Emergency Diesel Generator?

A
  • Established by the unit/parallel switch in the PARALLEL position
  • Used to control generator load during EDG load testing.
  • EDG runs in parallel and follows frequency with station or offsite power sources (grid), which appear as an infinite bus to the EDG.
  • When supplying power to the infinite bus (grid) during parallel operation, the emergency generator must be prevented from carrying too much real and reactive load due to fluctuations of grid frequency and voltage.

Q

What is Speed Droop Control?

A
  • To prevent excessive real loading and add stability to the control system, the electronic governor operates with speed droop while in the Parallel Control Mode.
  • Speed droop is set internally in the EGA (electronic governor control).
  • Speed droop automatically adjusts the speed setting to a preset value based upon generator output (load).
  • To prevent excessive reactive loadings and add stability to the control system, the voltage regulator operates automatically with voltage droop while in the Parallel Control Mode.

(a) The voltage droop mode prevents the generator from carrying too much reactive load in the over-excited or under-excited mode with respect to the infinite bus (grid).

Q

What are the EDG 187 Relays?

A

Three (187) differential relays (one per phase) are connected to current transformers, one set on the neutral side of the generator windings and the other set on the bus side of the 2400V EDG incoming circuit breaker.

This arrangement protects the generator, generator incoming circuit breaker and the power cables against faults in this zone.

The relays trip the 2400V EDG breaker via lockout relay (186) and shut down the diesel engine via the shutdown relay (SDR).

Q

What are the EDG 151 Relays?

A

Three inverse time overcurrent relays (151) are connected on the generator side of the EDG 2400V breaker to protect the EDG circuit from overloads.

They function by tripping the EDG breaker via lockout relay (186) and shut down the diesel engine via the engine shutdown relay (SDR).

The relays provide an alarm at 100% of the generator nameplate loading and trip the generator at 110% of the nameplate rating, based on 3125 KVA at 80% power factor.

The overcurrent trip logic is a two out of three (2/3) coincidence.

Trip Setpoint is 824 amps.

Q

Describe the consequences of operating the Emergency Diesel Generators under improper temperature, pressure or flow parameters (water, air, oil)

A

If lube oil pressure <= 40 psig and EDG not tripped, then trip it.

If lube oil pressure DP > 20 psid, then EDG in operable. If conditions allow, shut down unit.

If lube oil temperature >= 200F with no service water, then trip it. Otherwise unload and secure if plant conditions permit. If less than 90F then EDG in operable.

If raw water pressure <= 25 psig and loss of service water, then trip the diesel. If operation required, maintain JW Temp <195F and Oil <205.

JW pressure less than 10 psig trips off crankcase exhausters and requries unit shut down if other power available.

If JW temperature >= 195 or <=95, then EDG in operable. If conditions permit, unload and stop.

If starting air pressure < 95 psig on two indicaters, EDG is inoperable.

Q

Describe the consequences of operating the Emergency Diesel Generators in an under excited condition.

A

Excessive reactive load can result in generator high currents and over-heating. When the rotor field excitation is less than that required, leading reactive current flows in the generator stator windings. These flows in the generator stator winding can cause the stator end-turns can overheat, this leads to insulation damage. If left unchecked, the rotor field strength can weaken to the point that the generator could “slip a pole”. This causes catastrophic failure of the coupling between the prime mover and the generator, and sometimes worse

Q

Describe the consequences of operating the Emergency Diesel Generators in an over excited condition.

A

Over excitation of a generator causes saturation of the magnetic core of the generator, and stray flux may be induced in non-laminated components that are not designed to carry flux. Excessive flux may also cause excessive eddy currents in the generator laminations that result in excessive voltages between laminations. This may cause severe overheating in the generator or transformer and eventual breakdown in insulation”
