A New Learning Experience in Gas Turbine Generator a Case Study of Blackout Conditions Due to Tripping of Gtg and the Necessary Corrective Actions to Prevent the Reoccurrence

Abstract

This paper describes about the case study of a very interesting and peculiar blackout conditions (total power failure) arising out of both the Gas Turbine Generators (Two units of GTG, namely GTG-01 & GTG-02) units back to back tripping in a short span of a week’s time. It brings out the various observations noted during that condition and it’s root cause analysis. It also highlights the various possible corrective actions in a short term and long term basis to prevent the reoccurrence of such blackout situations.
