Remote Jihar Satellite Gas Station (SGS) approximately 3.5 km. by
overhead line.
Jihar Phase-2 – The power transfer from Phase-3 to Phase-2 is
restricted and is allowed only under dead bus condition at Jihar
Phase-2 switchboard. No Parallel operation of Jihar Phase-2 and
Phase-3 source is allowed. To ensure the same, necessary key
interlock to be provided by HPC at the receiving 20 kV Switchboard at
Jihar Phase-2.
6.1.4 The bus-bar system of Main 6.6kV Switchgear will have three bus sections (Bus “A”,
Bus “B” & Bus “C”) interconnected with two bus-coupler breakers. The bus-coupler
breakers shall act as isolators without any protection element. All the MV motors of
the GTP i.e. motors > 150 kW (except for Produced Water Pump Motor rated at
315kW and will be fed from VSD rated at 400V) is fed from the 6.6kV Switchboard.
6.1.5 The 6.6kV supply voltage from 6.6kV-SWG-01 will be stepped down to 400V via
ONAN type step down transformers to feed the LV loads of the following
switchboards as indicated in the Key SLD :
- PMCC-0.4kV SWG-01 via Step down transformers 2970-GTP-TR-01 & 2970-
GTP-TR-02
- PMCC-0.4kV SWG-02 via Step down transformers 2970-GTP-TR-03 & 2970-
GTP-TR-04
- ADMIN-PCC-01 via Step down transformer 2970-ADMIN- TR-01

kV. The Plant total load requirement is as detailed in Electrical Load Lists (JI-191-EL-
01-2970-10002 & JI 191-EL-06-4300-10002).
During normal operation, the total power requirement of Jihar GTP/SGS/LQ will be
met by 2 nos. 9000 kW, 6.6 kV, 3 phase, 50Hz, Gas Turbine Generators operating in
parallel. In Island mode of plant operation, it is envisaged to operate two GTG‟s in
parallel sharing total plant running load and the third generator will be maintained
as a standby generator. The standby generator will be brought into service in case of
planned shutdown of the running generator for maintenance or in the event of
tripping of any one of the operating generators due to fault.
Equal Sharing the load between two running GTGs at any given point of time is
controlled by the in-built VAR and Watt load sharing module provided in the CSP
(For details refer DEIF - User Manual). Each generator has a dedicated Generator
control and protection panel (GCP) including the excitation system, Automatic
Voltage Regulator, Generator protection relays and other accessories and a Unit
Control Panel (UCP) for Turbine Control and protection. In addition a Common
Synchronising Panel (CSP) is provided for the Synchronising and Control of the three
GTG‟s and also On/Off control of the Grid Incomer breakers.
Based on the damage curve furnished by the Generator manufacturer, an impedance
earthing philosophy has been adopted for the MV system and accordingly the neutral
of each of the generator can be connected to earth via Neutral Grounding Resistor
(NGR), which will restrict the earth fault current to 200 A.
Each NGR is equipped with Vacuum contactor suitable for remote operation from
CSP. The logic provided in the common synchronising panel shall ensure that out of

the running Generators only one of the Generator Neutral shall be earthed at any
given time and in the event of generators operating in parallel with the grid, the
GTG NGR‟s are not connected in circuit. On/off status and alarms for NGR‟s are
provided on Common Synchronising panel Mimic panel.
The Gas Turbine Generators and NGRs will all be located outside the MCC building at
a distance of around 120 meters.
The Generator Control Panel, Unit Control Panel and Common Synchronising panel is
located in the SDCS room which is within the MCC building.
9.1.2 GTG Operation & Control Philosophy:
Generator Control – From GCP and CSP.
Turbine Control - From UCP.
Status Monitoring – At GCP /CSP / SDCS / DCS.
Generator Protection – At GCP.
For the Generator control and protection, each of the 3 GTGs is provided with
Generator Control Panel (GCP) and a Common Synchronising Panel (CSP).
a) The CSP shall house the generator control and metering equipment as below:
DEIF Auto synchroniser, DEIF Active load sharing controller, Reactive load
sharing controller.
The CSP is also provided with both manual and automatic synchronising
facility of the GTG‟s with the grid. However during the parallel operation of
the GTG‟s with the grid the load sharing control will be carried out by the
SDCS. The SDCS monitors the total power requirement of the plant and based
on the total power demand on the system, calculates the amount of the fixed
power to be drawn from the grid (based on the set point input from the
operator) and the variable power to be drawn from the GTG‟s and
accordingly provides the necessary 4-20mA control signals for kVAR control to
the AVR and kW control to the governor for each of the GTG‟s. The SDCS
provides 4-20mA signals to the individual generator GCP / UCP panels thus

The GCP provides facility for both manual and auto synchronisation of the
generators. The GTG starting and synchronising is carried out by the operator from
the GTG UCP. The synchronising process can be carried out either in manual mode or
in auto mode as decided by the operator. Once the system is ready for synchronising
the incomer MV breaker close command is initiated by the CSP via hard wired signal
and the generator is synchronised to the bus.
The generator status, protection and metering signals are available on the GCP front
panel. In addition these signals are communicated from the GCP to the SDCS via
serial link.
The control supply of the GCP /CSP is 24 V DC and is derived from dedicated VRLA
battery system being supplied as part of the GTG package.
9.1.3 Parallel operation of the GTG‟s with Syrian Grid:
In Grid parallel operation mode, two GTG‟s are envisaged to operate in parallel with
one of the grid incomer feeder sharing the total plant normal running load. Due to
the fault level restriction on the 6.6kV switchboard, parallel operation of two GTG‟s
with only one grid incomer feeder is allowed. Necessary mechanical and hardwired
interlock have been provided in the Common synchronising panel to disallow parallel
operation of two Grid incomers at the same time and parallel operation of the three
GTG‟s with the Grid.
During the future scenario of GTG‟s operating in parallel with the grid, the two
running generators will be set to deliver the total power requirement of the plant
and the grid will be kept floating on to the system to meet a minimum floating
power requirement and the same is to be set by the operator at the SDCS. In case of
tripping of any one of the operating generators, the grid will make up for the short
fall of power only to the extent as set by the operator on the SDCS.
The System Study Reports including the Transient Stability Study, Load Flow Analysis
Report and the Short Circuit Report have detailed the power flow and response of
the system during various operating scenario.

Note:
While implementing the above Syrian Grid interface to the 6.6 kV System, Company
to take into account the following design criteria for the tie-in connection:
a) The Grid Transformer Rating and impedance to be selected such that the total
short circuit contribution of the grid when operating in parallel with two GTG‟s to
be limited to 50 kA ( i.e. within the rated short circuit capacity of the 6.6kV
switchboard).
b) The earth fault current at the 6.6kV system to be restricted to 200A by providing
suitably rated NGR and earth fault settings taking into account the Stator Damage
curve of the Siemens GTG‟s. In the event of Generator operating in parallel with
the Grid, the GTG NGR need to be disconnected from circuit and the NGR
provided on grid incomer transformer need to be earthed. The sizing of the grid
transformer NGR shall be carried out by HPC taking into account the stator
damage curve of the GTG.
9.1.4 Interlocks
Necessary interlocks have been created within the CSP to ensure the following:
- Prevent closing of the grid incomer feeder when three of the GTG‟s are
operating in parallel.
- Prevent closing of the GTG NGR contactor‟s when the grid NGR is in circuit.

relays and meters. The neutral of the DG set is solidly earth. The DG set is provided
with facility for no load trial from the local control panel at the DG skid.
9.2.2 1250 kVA Emergency DG Set Operation & Control Philosophy:
DG Control – From DG GCP
DG Protection – DG GCP
DG Status Monitoring – DG GCP/ SDCS
The status monitoring of the EDG is carried at the EDG GCP and from remote SDCS
via Serial Link.
During normal operation, the Main GTGs/ Grid are feeding power to the system, the
transformer incomer from the 6.6kV-SWG-01 to the normal cum emergency
switchboard –PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 is in „closed‟ condition, the bus coupler breaker
and the incomer breakers from EDG set are in „open‟ condition.
The EDG set will automatically be brought into service on loss of the main power
supply from the GTGs. On loss of power from the Main GTGs, and on sustained
simultaneous under voltage condition on both the transformer incomer lines EDG
GCP PLC will initiate an auto start command to the EDG.
In addition to the above, the EDG set is also provided with synchronising facility to
enable re-instatement of the normal supply on to the PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 on
resumption of GTG/Grid power for bump less, make before break, reinstatement of
normal power to the essential services system.
Under plant normal operating condition periodic no load test on the EDG set is to be
carried out by the operator to ensure the healthiness of the EDG set. The normal
cum emergency switchboard is not designed for the short circuit current that could
occur during the load trial of the DG set during parallel operation of the DG set with
the transformer.

normal power failure condition. The start of the 200kVA UPS DG set is manual and
need to be initiated by the operator on receipt of Main DG set start failure alarm on
the SDCS. On failure of auto starting of the main 1250 kVA DG set under a plant
emergency condition the 200kVA UPS DG set need to be started manually within a
time frame of 15 minutes as this DG set is not designed to cater to simultaneously
the charging current of the UPS battery and the UPS load under a battery discharged
condition.
The UPS DG set is controlled from the UPS DG GCP placed in the MCC building SDCS
room. On receiving the main 1250 kVA DG set starting failure alarm on the SDCS
panel, the operator to initiate a manual start of the UPS DG at the DG GCP. On
receipt of the DG set ready to take load feedback on the DG GCP, the operator to
manually operate the three position incoming supply changeover switch on the UPS
panel and change the position of the switch from mains supply to DG supply thus
bringing in the DG power to feed the UPS system. In case all the three change over
switches are not on the same source of supply a discrepancy alarm will be generated
Local to panel and remotely at the SDCS. On resumption of normal GTG/ Grid supply
or the main 1250 kVA emergency DG supply the operator to manually switch off the
UPS DG set after unloading and bring in the main supply. There is no synchronising
facility available for the UPS DG at the UPS DG GCP panel. However there is no break
in the UPS supply to the load as the UPS battery will be feeding the load during this
transition phase from the Main supply to DG supply and vice versa.

Monitoring – at PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 Switchboard & SDCS (via serial link).
Feeder Protection and Metering – at PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 Switchboard vide Discreet
Feeder vision relays (PB Gold) for outgoing MCCB feeders and motor vision relays (PB
Gold) for outgoing Motor feeder, Advanced Feeder Vision relays for incomer and Bus
couplers as detailed in the respective SLD.
Protection for EDG incomer feeders is located at EDG GCP.
During normal operation of the above switchboard, with the incoming lines healthy,
both the transformer incomers are in „closed‟ condition while the bus coupler is in
„open‟ condition. Local operation by the operator for transformer incomer and bus
coupler feeders is permitted in Test and service Position from the switchboard. In
the Local mode the breaker closing operation is performed by selecting Auto-
Independent-Manual (A-I-M) selector switch in Independent or Manual mode and the
Local/Remote (L/R) selector switch in „local‟ mode and close the breakers through
breaker control switch (TNC) at the switchboard.
Under the loss of any one of the main incoming supplies detected through under
voltage sensing at line voltage, the respective incomer, which has lost the supply
voltage, will „trip‟ and bus coupler will „close‟ automatically. The above change over
operation will take place if the Auto-Independent-Manual (A-I-M) selector switch
(located on Bus coupler panel) is in „Auto‟ position. Changeover is inhibited if the
incomer breaker has tripped on fault.
Under the restoration of the incoming supply at the incomer, which is open, A-I-M
selector switch shall be put to Manual mode and trip selector switch (TSS, on bus
coupler) shall be kept on Bus coupler position by the operator. L/R switch on second
incomer breaker to be put in „Local‟ mode. Now the operator to initiate the close
command of the second transformer breaker (this command will be routed through
synchro-check relay) and on closing of the second transformer incomer breaker, the
bus-coupler breaker will open automatically after momentary paralleling of two bus
sections. After achieving normal configuration of power supply to PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-
01 (transformer incomer breaker „close‟ and bus coupler „open‟), L/R switch to be
put in „Remote‟ position and A/I/M selector switch to be put in „Auto‟ position by
operator.

Under loss of supply on both incomers (i.e. failure of upstream GTG/ Grid supply,
when grid supply is made available in future), incomer and bus coupler breakers will
trip automatically due to undervoltage condition. The 1250 kVA DG GCP will sense
this simultaneous undervoltage on the two transformer incoming feeders as a plant
emergency condition and it will initiate auto start of DG set provided the mode
selector switch in DG GCP is in Auto mode. Once the DG set is started and ready to
take load, the DG GCP will first provide close command to the bus coupler breaker to
ensure the PMCC-0.4kV SWG-01 is a continuous bus. Then it provides close command
to the DG breaker (the close command will be routed to one of the two DG CB based
on the position of the emergency CB selector switch on the DG GCP. Due to any
reason if the selected breaker fails to close then the DG GCP routes this command to
the second DG breaker) thus ensuring that the Emergency power is made available to
the switchboard.
Under the restoration of the incoming supply to any one of the transformer incomer
feeder, the DG GCP senses restoration of voltage on the incoming lines and initiates
the back paralleling sequence automatically after a time delay of 2 minutes (this
time delay has been introduced to avoid back paralleling under transient conditions).
On achieving synchronism between the DG and the transformer incomer feeder the
DG GCP initiates a close command to the transformer breaker thus allowing the DG
set to run in parallel with the main transformer supply with the DG sharing a
predefined set plant load. After a set time delay of 2 minutes, the DG GCP
automatically starts unloading of the DG set and trips the DG circuit breaker.
With the above, the entire PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 is being fed by one transformer
incomer feeder with the bus coupler breaker closed. For restoration of the second
transformer incomer feeder the A-I-M selector switch shall be put to Manual mode
and trip selector switch (TSS, on bus coupler) shall be kept on Bus coupler position
by the operator. L/R switch on second incomer breaker to be put in „Local‟ mode.
Now the operator to initiate the close command of the second transformer breaker
(this command will be routed through synchro-check relay) and on closing of the
second transformer incomer breaker, the bus-coupler breaker will open
automatically after momentary paralleling of two bus sections.
It is possible to trip all circuit breakers from the Switchboard irrespective of the
position of the Local/ remote selector switch, A/I/M switch position. The selection

of local or remote control of breakers is made manually at the switchboard.
Monitoring is not affected by the position of the local/remote control switch. Lock
out relays can only be reset locally, and not from the remote position.
All outgoing power feeder control shall be local to the switchboard by the operator
both in test and service condition.
All outgoing motor/heater feeder control shall be from local in test position and
from remote LCS/ UCP/DCS based on the control philosophy described in the
respective P&ID. The DCS / UCP (as applicable) will also receive the Run, Stop, Trip

PMCC-0.4 kV SWG-01 Emergency Switchboard
Step-3: Objective is to energise the 6.6 kV switchboard.
Energization of 6.6 kV Switchgear at the MCC Building: The dead bus closing of the
bus-tie AB and bus-tie BC from the common synchronising panel is to be carried out
manually. Operator to ensure that the 6.6 kV switchboard is a continuous bus with
all bus coupler breaker closed before starting of the GTGs under plant start-up
condition.
Identify and start one of the GTGs (either GTG-2841 or GTG-2842 or GTG-2843). The
feeders for the GTG-Auxiliaries shall be kept in ready to start condition, so that they
can start when the signals are received from the GTG-UCP. The GTG Auxiliaries are:
Starter Motor, AC Lube Oil Pump Motor, Main enclosure Vent Fan motor, Vent Air
filter bleed fan motor, Lube Oil Tank Heater, all 110V DC and 24V DC loads etc.
The first GTG is brought into circuit by dead bus closing of associated 6.6 kV incomer
breaker. The incomer circuit breaker close command in the GCP is executed by the
operator from common synchronising panel after ensuring that the NGR of the GTG
that is being brought into circuit is connected to the system, thus ensuring that the
6.6 kV system is earthed.
On closing of the first GTG incomer breaker on to the MV switchboard, the 6.6 kV
system gets energized and the 6.6 kV bus Voltage, kW and current feedback along
with breaker status is available to the SDCS.
Step-4: Objective is to energise the distribution transformers
On receipt of the above information, the operator can initiate manual closing of the
4 nos. 6.6 kV /0.42 kV, 2.5 MVA transformer (2970-GTP-TR-01 / TR-02/ TR-03/ TR-

04) breakers either from the 6.6kV switchboard or from the SDCS panel and charge
the GTP distribution transformers.
Step-5: Objective is to switchover from the EDG supply to GTG power
On Energization of incoming line feeders of PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01, back
paralleling sequence of the EDG with one of the transformer breaker will
take place automatically from the DG GCP (provided DG GCP is in Auto mode)
and on achieving of synchronism the closing of the selected incomer
transformer breakers will happen automatically (provided A/I/M selector
switch at the bus coupler panel is in Auto position and L/R selector switch is
in Remote position). Under this condition, the emergency DG set will be
operating in parallel with one of the transformers for a pre-defined time,
sharing the total load to a pre-defined set point. Under this circumstance one
of the transformer incomer feeder and EDG feeder will be operating in
parallel with the bus-coupler closed. After the pre-defined time the EDG will
de-load and trip automatically. Now the PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 is running with
the normal GTG power fed through transformer 2970-GTP-TR-01 and bus
coupler breaker closed.
After tripping of the 1250kVA EDG, the operator to initiate the close
command of the second transformer breaker (this command will be routed
through synchro-check relay) and on closing of the second transformer
incomer breaker, the bus-coupler breaker will open automatically after
momentary paralleling of two bus sections.
At this stage, the LV switchboard PMCC-0.4 kV SWG-01 is energised and is in normal
operation. Now all the balance loads of the switchboard can be brought into service.
Step-6: Objective is to energise the Process LV Switchboard – PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-02
On Energization of 2.5 MVA transformers (2970-GTP-TR-03 and TR-04),
operator to initiate manual closing of transformer LV breakers I/C-1 (Cubicle
No.: 16) and I/C-2 (Cubicle No.: 19) and energise the Normal Switchboard
with the bus-coupler breaker (Cubicle Nos.:17) kept open.

Step-7: Objective is to start the second GTG and MV loads with pre-conditions of the
minimum power requirements:
With the Normal and emergency LV loads in circuit, the first GTG is partly
loaded. Based on the process operating requirement, the operator has to
decide on the starting of the second GTG. The MV motor loads are to be
started considering the running reserve capacity of the GTGs.
The minimum power required and the pre-conditions for starting of the large
motors including the Chiller motor and Sales Gas Compressor motors are as
defined in the Electrical System study report. The second GTG is brought into
circuit by the operator by initiating the auto-synchronising operation from
the common synchronising panel.
10.2 Condition B - Plant Electrical System Start-Up Procedure with the presence of
Grid supply (when grid supply is made available in future)
During initial start-up of the plant the following sequence of operations need to be
followed in the presence of Grid supply (when grid supply is made available in
future):
Step-1: Objective is to energise the 6.6 kV Switchboard.
The first step for the energising of the 6.6kV Switchboard is to ensure that the 110V
DC UPS system of GTP is commissioned and batteries are fully charged thus ensuring
control supply for the board. Next Operator to ensure that the 6.6kV Switchboard
incomer and outgoing breakers are open and operator to manually carry out the
dead bus closing of the bus-tie AB and bus-tie BC from the common synchronising
panel . Operator to ensure that the 6.6 kV switchboard is a continuous bus with all
bus coupler breaker closed before starting of the GTGs under plant start-up
condition. The grid incomer is brought into circuit by dead bus closing of the 6.6 kV
grid incomer breaker from the Common Synchronising panel. The incomer circuit
breaker close command in the GCP is executed by the common synchronising panel
after ensuring that the NGR of the grid incomer that is being brought into circuit is
connected to the system, thus ensuring that the 6.6 kV system is earthed. Only one

of the grid incomer will be connected in circuit at any point of time and mechanical
interlock has been provided in the 6.6 kV switchboard to prevent closing of the two
grid incomer breakers at the same time taking into account the fault current
limitation of 50kA on the offered switchboard.
Step-2: Objective is to energise the power transformers to ensure start-up power for
the GTG auxiliaries
On closing of the grid incomer breaker on to the MV switchboard, the 6.6 kV system
gets energized and the 6.6 kV bus Voltage, kW and current feedback along with
breaker status is available to the SDCS
On receipt of the above information, the operator can initiate manual closing of the
4 nos. 6.6 kV /0.4 kV, 2.5 MVA transformer (2970-GTP-TR-01 / TR-02/ TR-03/ TR-04)
breakers either from the 6.6kV switchboard or from the SDCS panel and charge the
GTP distribution transformers.
On charging of transformers, operator to manually close the LV breakers of 2970-
GTP-TR-01 and 2970-GTP-TR-02 with bus-coupler breaker open to energise PMCC-
0.4kV-SWG-01.
Step-3: Objective is to energise all emergency and critical process loads connected
to the Normal cum Emergency Switchboard for plant start-up as per Step 2 of Clause
10.1.
Step-4: Objective is to start the plant GTG‟s
Identify and start one of the GTGs (either GTG-2841 or GTG-2842 or GTG-
2843). The feeders for the GTG-Auxiliaries shall be kept in ready to start
condition, so that they can start when the signals are received from the GTG-
UCP. The GTG Auxiliaries are: Starter Motor, AC Lube Oil Pump Motor, Main
enclosure Vent Fan motor, Vent Air filter bleed fan motor, Lube Oil Tank
Heater, all 110V DC and 24V DC loads etc.
The first GTG is brought into circuit by synch closing of its 6.6 kV incomer
breaker to the 6.6kV Switchboard. The incomer circuit breaker close
command in the GCP is executed by the common synchronising panel after

ensuring that the NGR of the grid incomer is connected to the system, thus
ensuring that the 6.6 kV system is earthed.
Now one GTG and the grid supply will be operating in parallel and will be
sharing the load based in the load sharing set values provided in the SDCS
system. During load sharing between the GTG and the Grid, the grid will
make available the instantaneous short fall of power on the system based on
instantaneous load demand and the amount of power to be delivered by the
GTG will be controlled by SDCS based on 4-20mA reference signal.
Based on the process load requirement the operator to decide on the start of
the second GTG if required similar to the starting procedure followed for the
first GTG. Under this condition two GTG‟s and the grid supply will be
operating in parallel and will be sharing the load based in the load sharing
set values provided in the SDCS system. During load sharing between the
GTG and the Grid, the grid will make available the instantaneous short fall of
power on the system based on instantaneous load demand and the amount of
power to be delivered by the GTG will be controlled by SDCS based on 4-
20mA reference signal.
Step-5: Objective is to energise the Normal LV Switchboard PMCC-0.4 kV SWG-02
On synch closing of the GTG incomer breaker on to the MV switchboard, the
6.6 kV bus Voltage, kW and current feedback along with breaker status is
available to the SDCS. On receipt of the above information, the operator
either manually from 6.6kV switchboard or remotely from the SDCS initiates
the closing of the 2 nos. distribution transformers ( 2970-GTP-TR-03 and 04)
LV breakers feeding the 0.4 kV normal switchboard and charge the PMCC-
0.4 kV-SWG-02 with the bus-coupler breaker (Cubicle Nos.:17) kept open.
Now the PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-02 is running with the normal GTG/ Grid power
fed through transformers 2970-GTP-TR-03 and 04.
At this stage, all the main LV switchboards –PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 and PMCC-0.4kV-
SWG-02 are energised and in normal operation. The LV loads of Process and utility
can be started and the plant will continue operation under 1 Grid supply & 1 or 2

Step-6: Objective is to start MV loads with pre-conditions of the minimum power
requirements.
With the Normal and emergency LV loads in circuit, and the load shared
between the GTG and grid supply based on the pre-defined set points, the
GTG‟s will be partly loaded. The MV motor loads are to be started
considering the running reserve capacity of the GTGs and grid power import
set point
The minimum power required and the pre-conditions for starting of the large
motors including the Chiller motor and Sales Gas Compressor motors are as
defined in the Electrical System study report.

and feeding the critical loads of the GTGs.
10.4 Condition D - Plant Abnormal Operating Condition -GTP
Situation-1 – Tripping of one of the GTG’s due to fault.
Under plant normal operating condition, when one of the GTGs trips on fault, the
full operating load of the plant will come on the other operating generators / Grid
connection depending upon the Plant operating scenario at that given point of time.
Scenario 1 - 2 GTG’s operating in parallel without grid connection.
Under this scenario, the total plant operating load will come on the one operating
generator.
a) In order to sustain the plant with the one operating generator, it will be
required to limit the load on the 6.6 kV bus to the capacity of the operating
generator set point ( i.e. 9MW at 45 deg C). For this, bulk load shedding will
be required, adopting a fast load shedding scheme and the same will be
achieved using df/dt function and fixed frequency setting of the numerical
relays provided on the 6.6kV bus.

b) The estimated maximum load on the plant works out to be 15.58 MW
(including 4MW Phase-2 load). On loss of one generator the total load of the
plant is required to be restricted to the capacity of one operating generator
i.e. 9MW and accordingly the following loads will be tripped immediately to
limit the power consumption to one of the operating GTG‟s whilst still be
able to continue with the plant process partially :-
- Priority-1 – Outgoing Tie Feeder to Phase -2 (4MW)
- Priority-2 - Outgoing Transformer feeder to Administration PCC & to LQ PMCC
(1.67MW)
- Priority – 3 - Recycle Compressor Motor (1.22MW)
With the above motors / feeders tripped, the total load on the system is
restricted to less than 9 MW and the same will be met by the one operating
GTG.
Based on the transient stability study, the above load shedding is required to
be carried out within a time period of 500ms to avoid sustained under
voltage/ under frequency condition on the 6.6kV bus leading to tripping of
the other operating generator causing a complete plant shutdown.
Scenario 2 - 3 GTG’s operating in parallel without grid connection.
Under this scenario, the total plant operating load will come on the
remaining two operating generators which will still be able to meet the total
plant load requirement without any interruption in supply.
Scenario 3 - 1 GTG operating in parallel with the grid connection.
Under this scenario, the available power from the grid will be around 10 MW
(i.e. considering a 12.5 MVA transformer).
The following loads will be tripped immediately to limit the power
consumption to the grid transformer output whilst still be able to continue
with the plant process :-
- Priority-1 – Outgoing Tie Feeder to Phase -2 (4MW)

Priority-2 - Outgoing Transformer feeder to Administration PCC & to LQ PMCC
(1.67MW)
With the above feeders tripped, the total load on the system is restricted to
less than 10 MW and the same will be met by the one operating grid
transformer.
Scenario 4 - 2 GTG’s operating in parallel with the grid connection.
Under this scenario, the total plant operating load will come on operating
generator and the grid supply, which will be able to meet the total plant
load requirement without any interruption in supply.
Situation-2 – Tripping of one grid incomer due to fault.
During plant normal operation only one of the grid incomer feeder will be in circuit
due to the mechanical interlock provided on the MV switchboard which ensures only
one grid breaker will be closed at any point of time. Under plant normal operating
condition, when the connected grid incomer trips on fault, the full operating load of
the plant will come on the other operating generators depending upon the Plant
operating scenario at that given point of time.
Scenario 1 - 2 GTG’s operating in parallel with the grid connection.
Under this scenario, the total plant operating load will come on to the two
operating generator which will be able to meet the total plant load
requirement without any interruption in supply.
Scenario 2 - 1 GTG operating in parallel with the grid connection.
Under this scenario, the total plant operating load will come on the one
operating generator and the operations as detailed under Clause 10.4
Condition-D, Situation-1, Scenario-1 will be repeated.

Situation-3 – Tripping of one of the large Motors (Sales Gas Compressor Motor or
Chiller motor) due to electrical fault.
a) Under plant normal operating condition with two GTGs feeding the plant
loads or 1 GTG with 1 grid supply feeding the plant loads, when one of the
large motor – i.e. the Sales gas compressor motor or the Chiller motor trips,
a sudden load throw off condition is sensed by the 6.6 kV System.
a) The MV Switchboard will sense an over voltage/ over frequency condition.
The Control system of the GTGs- which are all operating in parallel and
communicating to each other, will sense an over voltage/ over frequency
condition of the 6.6 kV System due to the generation being more than the
demand. Accordingly the GTG control system will reduce the output from the
operating GTGs by going into droop mode of operation. The imbalance caused
during the transient period is within acceptable limits.
b) On loss of one of the large motors, the DCS/Package UCP shall take up
control of the process by tripping / closing of the necessary loads based on
the plant process operating philosophy.
c) Operator shall study the Electrical Fault Sequence of Events (SOE) recorded
at the SDCS causing the tripping of the large Motor on fault. Based on the
type of fault, the operator shall decide if the fault is major or minor.
d) If minor, the fault shall be cleared by the operator in minimum time, keeping
the two generators in operation on reduced load. On clearance of the fault
the large motor shall be brought into circuit by the operator via LCS/ DCS/
package UCP at the specified loading conditions with base load as defined by
the system study report.
Situation-4 – Sustained Overload Condition on the Running system
a) During plant normal operation, the total calculated running load on the
system is as per Electrical Load Schedule (JI-191-EL-01-2970-10002 & JI 191-
EL-06-4300-10002). Based on the present load list the total Jihar Phase-3

plant operating load shall be met by two operating generators or 1 generator
& 1 grid supply under all operating conditions.
b) During sustained overload on the system, as monitored by the SDCS, the
Operator can initiate the starting of the third GTG (under 2 GTG & No grid
operating scenario), if time permits. Else the operator shall initiate the
tripping of non critical loads to maintain the load within the generation
capability of the two GTGs. The tripped loads can be brought back into
circuit by the operator after starting of the 3rd GTG.
c) Under the operating scenario of 1 GTG & 1 Grid, any shortfall of power will
be met by the grid by making appropriate setting of power to be drawn from
the grid at the SDCS by the operator.
Situation- 5– Tripping of the Distribution Transformers feeding the bus-section-A /
B of LV Switchboards – PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 or PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-02.
a) On Loss of supply to bus-section A or B of either PMCC-0.4 kV-SWG-01 or
PMCC-0.4 kV-SWG-02, under voltage condition is sensed by the auto change
over logic of switchboard which will initiate an auto change-over, enabling
the closing of the bus coupler breaker thus resuming power to the entire
switchboard from the healthy transformer.
In case of failure of auto-transfer the affected bus section load will loose
power and an alarm will be generated.
On loss of supply to both bus sections A & B of PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01, an under
voltage condition is sensed by the 1250 kVA DG GCP thus implying loss of
main power from the GTG / Grid supply. The 1250 kVA DG GCP will initiate
an auto start of the DG set
b) The EDG is expected to energise and brought into circuit in approx. 20
seconds. The breaker closing operations to ensure power to the Normal cum
emergency switchboard is carried out by the EDG GCP panel without the
intervention of the operator. The tripping of the transformer incomer
breakers 2970-GTP-TR-01 and 02 on under voltage condition will happen

automatically at the switchboard to prevent back feed of power from the
Emergency DG to 6.6kV Switchboard. On tripping of the Transformer incomer
breakers, the DG GCP will initiate the closing of the bus coupler breaker of
PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 to ensure the switchboard operates as a solid bus and
ensuring emergency power is made available to all the emergency loads
connected to Bus-A and Bus-B. With this critical emergency loads at the
Normal cum Emergency switchboard PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 is catered by the
EDG set via the power feeders that will remain closed even on loss of Main
GTG power.
c) Once the operator has established and cleared the fault that caused the GTG
tripping, the two running GTGs are brought back into circuit by following the
applicable steps of Condition-A. In the event of a major fault on the tripped
generator, then the operator has to establish the process power requirement
by bringing in the one healthy generator and standby generator into circuit.
d) Under the back paralleling sequence the DG GCP will initiate synchro closing
of one of the transformer incomer breaker (either 2970-GTP-TR-01 or TR-02
based on the priority selection at GCP) with the DG breaker. Once the
transformer breaker is closed, the 1250 kVA EDG and the 2500kVA
transformer will be operating in parallel with the bus coupler breaker closed
and feeding power to the entire normal cum emergency board. The EDG will
share the load with the transformer to a predefined set point and will run in
parallel for a predefined set time of 2 minutes. After this preset time the
EDG GCP will initiate the unloading of the DG set and tripping of the DG
incomer breaker automatically. Now the entire PMCC-0.4kV-SWG-01 is being
fed by one of the distribution transformer with the bus coupler breaker
closed. Now the operator shall initiate the synchro closing of the second
transformer incomer breaker from local to the switchboard by placing the
trip selector switch in the bus-coupler position. With this synchro closing of
the second transformer incomer breaker the bus coupler breaker will be
tripped as per two out of three breaker logic. Operator to note that only
momentary short time parallel operation of the DG set with the distribution
transformer is envisaged due to the fault level restriction of the PMCC-0.4kV
SWG-01 as highlighted in short circuit study report.
