We have a problem at our 925 MW gas turbine power plant with harmonics. We get spurious trips of the gas turbine vibration systems and unexpected CO2 discharges. The harmonics were traced back to the auxiliary transformers that provided the hotel load for the plant. When lightly loaded the...
What types of fire protection systems can be used for a local gas turbine-generator control room in which the turbine control panel and motor control center are located? Are there any code requirements for the type of gas used? Is so what are the codes? I understand FM-200 gas can be used in...
I need to build a storage building for power plant chemicals and wanted to know what standards or best practices are available for construction of such a structure, particularly with reference to containment, drainage, and ventilation.
What are the chemical limits being used for water chemistry monitoring for an induced draft, counter cooling tower for the following parameters:
pH
Conductivity
Total hardness
Calcium
Total Alkalinity
Chloride
Silica
Iron
Turbidity
What are considered the most important parameters to monitor?
Is a there an IEEE code that regulates the materials used for mechanical fasteners connecting a copper busbar? At this newly constructed power station we have experienced a short between two phases of the 4160 V busbar, which apparently initiated at a loose bolted connection on one phase. The...
