Gas Turbine Trip

Vijay

Season's Greetings!

Pls. be informed that we are facing the Gas turbine (Solar) Trip on "High Start Gas Fuel Flow", during start-up of the machine with in approx..8- 10 Sec. after the Purge time step is completed.

Alarm Grp. name: FSNL ,
Tag name: FN_High_Start_Fuel_Flow,

Following are the observations:

Main Fuel Gas Pressure: 24.1 Bar (350 Psig)
Primary Shutoff Valve opens
Secondary Shutoff Valve opens
Gas Torch valve opens
Igniter becomes - ON

ECT Avg. reading visually noticed reached to 240 deg. C for a very short time. The trend plotted it at 45 deg C only.

Fuel Gas flow remains at Zero at this stage. This reading reaches to 250 momentarily during Gas Fuel Control Pressure check step.
Main Fuel Gas Valve command reaches till 6%
Main Fuel gas Valve position feed back achieved 6%


Action taken :
Torch Gas Pri. regulator out put was checked and found at 35 psig,
Torch Gas Sec. regulator output checked and found at 24 psig.

Kindly advise the way forward.

please note that for your problem for any gas turbine startup fuel - minimum fuel required for firing, increase fuel v/v opening to 10% because of increase in fuel may be increase temp more than 240c. therefore temp holds the trip circuit.

if the temp> 240 degreeC trip circuit holds and turbine start-up sequence will go to next step

Vijay,

There hasn't been much discussion around Solar gas turbines here on control.com, so that's probably why you haven't had a response. I'm hesitant to hazard a guess without knowing more about the logic/sequencing/programming in the control system.

Wish I could have been more help!
