FGMO TRIAL OPERATION

SOUTHERN REGION FGMO TRIAL OPERATION

FROM 08:00 Hrs TO 12:00Hrs ON 9TH Feb’08
 Present FGMO Scheme for 3X200 MW units
Frequency tracking from 49.0 to 50.5 Hz at
tracking rate of 0.02 Hz/min.
Droop 8 %
Load limits +/- 10 MW (+/- 5%)
No dead band.
No command to boiler with df signal.
 No manual intervention required for
primary response

CHANGES REQUIRED FOR FGMO TRIAL

1. DROOP AT 6%
2. MANUAL INTERVENTION IF REQUIRED FOR SECONDARY RESPONSE
TO NORMALISE GENERATION TO ORIGINAL SET VALUE

FGMO TRIAL ( 08:00 HRS TO 12:00HRS)

 ACTUAL GENERATION WITH + 2 or 4 MW ABOVE SCHEDULE

 MANUAL INTERVENTION TO BRING BACK GENERATION TO

NORMAL SET VALUE AT 1% RATE PER MININUTE

 NOT TO BE PANIC ON (-) UI DUE TO FGMO

 NOT TO LOAD MACHINES ABOVE EFFECTIVE FGMO RANGE

TO COMPENSATE GENERATION LOSSES OF OTHER UNITS

 IN CASE FREQUENCY JUMPS ABOVE BREAK-EVEN FREQUENCY

GENERATION SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AS IT IS OR (<) SCH
 Proposed Operation Action Plan
1 Declared capability of 1935 MW for stage-1&2 and 468Mw
for stage-3 will be given from 07:30Hrs to 12:30 Hrs for 9th
Feb’08
2 Unit generations of 190MW for stage-1, 500MW for stage-2 &3 will be
maintained from 07:30Hrs onwards
3 By 08:15 Hrs Grid Frequency will be brought to 50Hz by SRLDC

4 All units FGMO operation will be ensured between 08:15 Hrs to

08:30Hrs
5 SRLDC will be communicated about FGMO enabling

6 Monitoring of primary response and manual intervention for

secondary response will be carried out
7 Data recording as per SRHQ data sheet parameters to be ensured in
all units
8 Unit wise all emergencies and deviations to be captured during
FGMO trial operation and reports to be prepared by unit controllers.
