maintenance requirements. This will ensure the equipment supplied is operated in
a safe and reliable fashion whilst taking into account its expected performance.
It is assumed that the individuals selected by the Authority to participate in the
training porgramme will have a adequate education and experience background
to be able to assimilate the training programme. However, the particulars of the
training programme may be adapted to suit the specific requirements of the
Authority, specifically to fit the intended plant organization and management
structure. It is assumed that the Authority will actively participate in such
adaptation and in the implementation of the training programme.
It is anticipated that the following groups of personnel will participate in the trining
programme:
Plant manager
Operations managers
Maintenance mangers
Shift engineers
Control room operators

9.1 Net plant Output
“Net plant Output” is the electrical power output capability measured at the main
transformer high voltage side.
The net plant output, NPO, is 8.7 MW (e).
9.2 Net Station Heat Rate
“Net Station heat Rate” is the plant energy conversion efficiency, at Net plant
Output (NPO), defined as
NSHR = tput(NPO)NetplantOu

NCV = Net Calorific Value
NCR = Maximum Continuos rating
9.3 TEST PROCEDURES
The Net Plant Output shall be determined in accordance with ANSI/ASME PTC
19.6, Part 6, “Electrical Measurements” or equivalent. The measurements shall be
made at the high voltage side of he main transformer using the calibrated tariff

attended to develops the pilot biomass power plant for generating electricity, located in
Province in Nakhon Ratchasima. The 9.9 MW power plant will gathers cassava rhizome as fuel
for electricity generation to sell to Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) via 22 kV grid
The primary fuel will be Cassava Rhizome and the back up fuel will be wood chips. The
Cassava Rhizome will be supplied to the plant from 50 kilometer around the power plant
location. The power plant will have adequate fuel storage to ensure the continuous operation.
1.2 POWER PLANT DESCRIPTION
The summary about main component and its function of 9.9 MW cassava rhizome-fired
power plant will be as follows:
1.2.1 Boiler
The boiler for firing cassava rhizome as fuel is based on proven technology using a
stoker combustion boiler. The stoker grate technology is effective in burning solid fuels that
contain fuel particles of sufficient size that they must rest on a grate to burn as well as finely
sized particles. Solid fuel is introduced into the furnace using pneumatic or mechanical
spreaders which is stoker or feeder. Spreader stokers with vibrating grates have the ability to
respond more rapidly to load changes, and operate more efficiently.
The superheater will be of the pendant type with tubes spaced to minimize fouling. The
superheater outlet(s) will be piped to a single main steam line connection. To minimize erosion,
gas velocities across the superheater tubes will not exceed 40 feet per second. The
superheater steam temperature control system will utilize water spray desuperheating.

7.4 STEAM TURBINE SYSTEM
The function of the steam turbine shall be to conversion of the thermal energy of steam
produced by the boiler to mechanical energy required to drive the generator and provide two
extraction steam lines for heating steam required in deaerator and for process steam. The
generator converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy, which is transmitted through,
the generator breaker to the generator step-up transformer.
Steam will be supplied to the steam turbine from boiler via the main steam supply piping.
Main steam will pass through the steam turbine stop valves and control valves before entering
the steam turbine.
The steam turbine bypass system is provided to bypass the steam produced in the
boiler passes through steam turbine bypass station before dumps to condenser. Spray water
for desuperheater in the bypass station shall be provided from the condensate system.
The functional turbine bypass station is to employ to reduce the pressure and
temperature of high-pressure steam bypassed from main steam piping before entering the
main condenser. It will be operated in two different modes.

During start-up operation of boiler plant, the low load firing rate control loop regulates
the boiler-firing rate to raise the gas temperature at furnace exit and build up the drum
pressure. The drum pressure is maintained at manually adjusted setting point by modulating
steam flow to the condenser through the turbine bypass control valve.
During the turbine trip, high-pressure steam from boiler plant is bypassed and controlled
through the turbine by-pass control valve.
Scope of Work
The system consists of the following equipment.
- Steam turbine bypass valve
- Control valve
- Instrument & accessory
- Steam piping

7.5 COOLING WATER SYSTEM
The cooling water system mainly consists of two (2) units of main cooling water pumps,
two (2) units of auxiliary cooling water pumps, one (1) unit of a mechanical draught cooling
tower, chemical dosing system piping system and control system. The cooling water system
provides cooling water to the condenser for the condensing main steam turbine and to the
auxiliary cooling water heat exchanger for steam turbine and other equipment. The function of
the system is to convey the heat load from the condenser and dissipate it in the atmosphere by
evaporation at the cooling tower.
Cooling water quality will be maintained at acceptable levels through the utilization of
chemical additives and blow down of cooling water to holding pond of the waste water system
and discharged to the out side cannel. The quality of blow down from cooling water will be
determined based on maintaining allowable cycles of concentration. Makeup water, which
replaces water lost due to evaporation, drift and blow down will be introduced from process
water tank of the water treatment system.
System control will be from the control room. Control modes will be established for
normal startup and shutdown and cooling water pump start/stop and equipment protection
interlocks.
