Gas Turbine Gas turbine is a heat engine. The process includes:-  Compression:- Drawing air into the engine, pressurizing it and then feeding it to combustion chamber.  Combution: Typically made of a ring of fuel injector that inject a steady steam of fuel into combustion chamber where it mixes with the air. The combustion produces a high temperature and high pressure gas steam that enters and expands through the turbine.

Expansion :- Of the product of combustion in a turbine. Start-up of the GT:- Start-up of the GT is driven with the help of starting equipment which runs the generator as a motor with speed increasing from 0 to 600 rpm. At this speed piolet flame ignited in combustion chamber, fuel (gas/naphtha) enters and combustion take place.

Start-up of the Gas turbine The speed increases further both with the help of generator motoring and the combustion of the fuel up to about 2000 rpm. At this speed starting equipment is switched off and only the generator is made ready for synchronisation with the grid. After synchronizations, the turbine load increases up to base load with more and more fuel entering the combustion chamber.

Application of Gas Turbine Conventional applications are:-  Simple Cycle Operation  Combined Cycle Operation  Electric utility companies use gas turbine predominantly in simple cycle and combined cycle applications.  Combined cycle operation is much efficient than open cycle operation.

Simple Cycle operation A simple cycle operation turbine is a type of gas turbine most frequently used in the power generation, aviation(jet engine) and oil and gas industry (electricity generation) and mechanical drives.

Combined Cycle Power plant The Combustion Turbine:- Natural gas is mixed with air and burned in the combustion chamber to create the high pressure gasses needed to spin a turbine. This part of the plant is a single cycle combustion turbine. These are sometimes called CTs. CTs are normally designed to meet peak loads. The Combined Cycle Power Plant:- A combined cycle power plant is a dual cycle power plant. The “2 nd ” part of the combined cycle is a heat recovery unit. It takes advantage of the energy in the exhaust gases to create steam. The steam spins a turbine to generate electricity. The combined cycle plants are normally designed to meet base and intermediate loads.

Heat Recovery Steam Generator

Waste Heat Recovery Boiler Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) have found application in a wide range of industries where the co-generation of steam and electricity is required, in order to obtain an independent power plant and negligible emission levels.

Transformer A transformer is a device that transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled electrical conductor. A changing current in the first circuit(the primary) creates a changing magnetic field, in turn this magnetic field induces a changing voltage in the second circuit(the secondary). By adding a load to the secondary circuit one can make current flow in the transformer, thus transferring energy from one circuit to the another.

Basic Principle:- The transformer is based on two principles: firstly that an electric current can produce a magnetic field (electromagnetism) and secondly that a changing magnetic field within a coil of wire induces a voltage across the ends of the coil (electromagnetic induction). By changing the current in the primary coil, it changes the strength of its magnetic field; since the changing magnetic field extends into the secondary coil, a voltage is induced across the secondary.electric current magnetic fieldelectromagnetismelectromagnetic induction

Continue:- Daily Inspection : - Checking of oil level in transformer & tap changer, relief vent (explosion vent) diaphgram color of silica gel. If white/pink, then replace & HT and LT voltage and suitable adjustment through tap changer if required. Quarterly Inspection: - Checking of bushings for cracks and dirt deposits. Clean & replace if necessary, dielectric strength of oil and its water content, radiator fans, pump bearings, on load tap changer driving mechanism, gear box oil level, contacts, oil level in breather, top up oil if necessary and replace burnt or worn out contact. Half Yearly Inspection: - Checking on load tap changer (OLTC) and driving gears mechanism, clean, adjust and replace contacts and brake shoe etc.

Yearly Inspection:-  Testing of transformer oil for acidity, water content, dielectric strength & Tan Delta & filter if necessary.  Measurement of insulation resistance & compare with the value at the time of commissioning.  Tighten all gasketed joints e.g. tank cover, radiators.  Check all relays, alarm contacts & their operation. Five Yearly Inspection:-  Over all inspection by lifting of core & coils, washing them with clean, hot dry oil tight all nuts & bolts, on LT bus bar.  Painting of transformer externally.  Dehydration & filtration of oil (It has to be done 1 ½ to 2 year intervals).
