Startup Purge Credit Benefits Combined Cycle Operations

== BEGIN QUOTE ==

Over the past few years, HRSG purge issues have been extensively discussed at industry conferences. Some—in particular, a large segment of CC suppliers and operators—suggest eliminating the purge requirement on cycling units. However, the safety need for eliminating combustible gases remains. A concept for modifying the purge requirements to credit prior purges for cycling CCs was first introduced to the NFPA Technical Committee for Heat Recovery Steam Generators in 2003. The NFPA Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code Committee established a task group in 2006 to pursue the idea and to enable CC operators to safely implement procedures that provide for a fast-start capability. The change in the code was finally issued in the 2011 Edition of NFPA 85 as the Combustion Turbine Purge Credit.

Calculating Purge Credits

The purge credit, simply defined, is when, during a normal CT shutdown, there is sufficient CT post-purge airflow to remove any residual combustible materials from the CT and HRSG system. If gases cannot seep into the ductwork, then the post-purge meets the NFPA requirements and a redundant start purge is not required.

Explanation:
Gas Turbine Power Plant Startup
During startup, the gas turbine (GT) undergoes a sequence of increasing compressor spin to reach firing speed, ignition, turbine acceleration to self-sustaining speed, synchronization, and loading. There are numerous thermo-mechanical constraints during startup of the GT, including limits on airflow velocity through the compressor blades to prevent stall, vibrational limits, and combustion temperature limits to prevent turbine blade fatigue, with the significant parameter being the turbine inlet temperature.

In combined cycle operation, the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) imposes additional thermal limitations on the gas turbine power plant, as the high temperature environment subjects HRSG components to thermal stress. The HRSG is directly coupled to the gas turbine, so changes in turbine exhaust gases induce flow, temperature, and pressure gradients within the HRSG. These gradients must be carefully controlled to prevent adverse impacts such as material fatigue, creep (damage caused by high temperatures) and corrosion. In order to avoid impacts, it takes longer to start the HRSG from cold conditions than from hot conditions. The definition of “hot” conditions varies by manufacturer, but is generally defined as within eight (8) to 16 hours of HRSG shutdown. As a result, the amount of time elapsed since last shutdown greatly influences startup time. Once-through HRSGs are used by some manufacturers to overcome the startup thermal and pressure limitations that exist with steam drums.

CCGTs are also subject to purge requirements to prevent auto-ignition from possible accumulation of combustible gases in the gas turbine, HRSG and exhaust systems. The purge is required before the unit is restarted. Purge times depend on the boiler volume and air flow through the HRSG, and are typically set to about 15 minutes. This purge time adds to the overall start time. In addition, the steam turbine can restrict the GT loading rate if the steam temperature leaving the HRSG exceeds steam turbine limits. To avoid this, temperature matching using GT holds as the load is increased may be necessary.

In order to enable faster startup, CCGT manufacturers have attempted to decouple the gas turbine startup from the HRSG and steam turbine warm-up. Process- and equipment-enhanced start options have been developed that can be used under hot start conditions. A “purge credit” allows the system purge to be completed at shutdown, eliminating the requirement for a redundant purge at next startup. The purge credit can only be used in some HRSGs that have no duct burners and where the GT is fired on natural gas only. Bypass dampers can be used to restrict the exhaust gas flow to the HRSG. However, pollution control equipment for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) are typically integrated within the HRSG and environmental regulations for these emissions may prohibit the startup of the GT without the HRSG. Another method for decoupling the HRSG and steam turbine from the GT exhaust gas uses spray water attemperators or air attemperators to control the steam temperature so that gas turbine loading is not limited for temperature matching. This enables parallel loading of the gas turbine and steam turbine.

Although hot start conditions for CCGTs vary somewhat by manufacturer, maintaining energized electrical systems, purge credit, and steam temperature control enable CCGT startup times of about 30 to 35 minutes from initiation of the start sequence. This is about half the time for conventional hot start that would require purge and gas turbine holds. In simple cycle, published start times for gas turbines are about 10 to 15 minutes.

Example sentence(s):
  • A “purge credit” allows the system purge to be completed at shutdown, eliminating the requirement for a redundant purge at next startup.
