PURPOSE To ensure proper operation of the Circulating Water System and Cooling Towers by Operations Department personnel.
8 PRECAUTIONS/LIM ITATIONS .....................................................................................................................
DISCUSSION The Circulating Water/Cooling Tower Systems provide a flow of water through the main condenser to provide the heat sink needed to condense the steam flowing into the main condenser. Additionally, it is used to control the heat input to the Connecticut River within the prescribed limits to ensure compliance with the NPDES permit thermal limits.
9 PRE RE QUISITES ...........................................................................................................................................
There are three basic modes of operation of the systems:
12 PROCEDURE  
I.     Open Cycle - circulating water from the river passes through condensers directly to the discharge structure and river.
..................................................................................................................................................
: 2.     Hybrid Cycle - circulating water from the river and discharge structure recirc pipe passes through the condenser and is pumped from the discharge structure by the circ water booster pumps through the cooling towers with part or all of the flow being directed to the river.
14 A. Hydraulic Gate Control System -Intake and Discharge Structures (Startup)  
: 3.     Closed Cycle - water cooled by the cooling towers is directed back to the intake structure through the recire pipe. A closed path is established and essentially no heat is rejected to the river.
..................
The cooling towers are pre-wetted prior to normal operation and kept wet to maintain structural integrity'during cooling tower fan operation.
14 B. Intake/Discharge Structure Hydraulic Gate Local Control System .........................  
Under special circumstances, such as maintenance tests or PMTs, it is acceptable to run one cooling tower fan at a time for up to two hours without running water in the towers and without performing prior cooling tower wetting.
..............
To ensure the circ water side of the condenser remains full, a minimum of 2 circ water pumps should be running, and the vacuum priming system is placed in service as necessary to remove air from the condenser water box outlets and the discharge line just upstream of the discharge structure.
14 C. Startup of Circulating W ater System ...............................................................................
In the closed cycle mode, blowdown from the circulating water system can be maintained to control water inventory and solids formation by controlling level in the discharge basin.
15 D. Operation of Vacuum Priming System ............................................................................
Past operating experience has demonstrated that optimum plant performance is best achieved when condenser back pressure is maintained at 1.0 inch HgA. During winter months when icing is a consideration, circ water inlet temperature can be maintained greater or equal to 33°F raised by permitting flow from the discharge to the intake structure via the recirc gate.
19 E. Shifting from Open to Hybrid Cycle M ode .....................................................................
OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 4 of 52
19 F. Shifting from Hybrid to Closed Cycle M ode ..................................................................
 
22 G. Shifting from Closed to Hybrid Cycle M ode ..................................................................
When the Circulating Water System is placed on CLOSED cycle for extended periods, the pH will rise and for this reason, sulfuric acid will be added to maintain pH between 6.5 and 8.5 Standard Units (SU). The heat load on the main condenser will also increase, causing microbiological growth to increase fouling on the condenser tube sheet and tubes. To minimize this biological fouling, the condenser must be periodically treated with algaecide, sodium hypochlorite and sodium bromide, to keep the growth in check. The Chemistry Department is responsible for monitoring and maintaining CW chemistry. The Operations Department is responsible for bulk makeup to the sodium bromide, sodium hypochlorite tank and the sulfuric acid tank. Procedure OP 2181, Service Water/Alternate Cooling Operating Procedure, covers bulk makeup to these tanks.
24 H. Shifting from Hybrid to Open Cycle M ode .....................................................................
[EPU - During the winter permit period, at EPU conditions, when the river flow is less than 1500 cfs, hybrid mode is required. For river temperatures 50*F or less, hybrid mode may be used depending on wet bulb temperature, river flow and temperature as shown in Figures 17 and 18. For river temperatures >50°F, hybrid mode is required, as shown in the summer nomographs. For river temperatures 62°F or higher, closed-cycle mode is required.

W. Clearing of Debri&sect; from Intake Trash Racks NOTES
      "     If intake structure level falls to 209 ft., the intake gates will open automatically. They cannot be reclosed until level is above 209 ft.
I
      "     If intake structure level falls to 207 ft., the circ water pumps will trip. The circ water pumps cannot be restarted until intake level is above 207 ft.
      "     Operation of the recirc gate at low intake structure water levels will result in reduced flow to the deicing line due to the elevation I-          difference between the recire line (195.25 ft centerline) and the deicing line (217 ft centerline). As a result, the deicing of the SW bay may not occur.
If significant ice or trash accumulates at racks or the floating boom, do the following: (CAR 9406801)
: a.       Place the traveling screens in Manual as soon as time permits.
: b.       Dispatch an operator to the discharge structure.
C.       Open the recire gate to 50% until condenser backpressure approaches 3.0" HgAbs.
: d.       Thr6ftlth-e recirc gate to maintain 3.0 to 3.5" HgAbs until ice or trash-hiFs been pushed into mainstream of river, or ceases to move.
: e.     Close the recirc gate.
: f.     When the recirc gate has been closed for at least 30 minutes, place the traveling screens in Auto.
: g.     If leaves or trash are observed moving back toward the trash racks or floating boom, open recire gate to 5%.

X. Operation of Cooling Tower Lights NOTE Cooling tower lights are normally secured and require Operations and Security permission to turn them on.
: 1. Turning On the Cooling Tower Lights
: a.     Obtain permission from the Security Shift Supervisor and the Ops Shift Manager to turn on the tower lights.
: b.     At LP-1X, close CKT 20 (Tower Ltg Photo Cell) and check closed CKT 1 through 7 and CKT 9 to energize west cooling tower lights.
C.     At LP-lW, close CKT 14 (Tower Ltg Photo Cell) and check closed CKT I through 7 and CKT 9 to energize east cooling tower lights.
: 2. Turning Off the Cooling Tower Lights
: a.     At LP-1X, open CKT 20 to de-energize west cooling tower lights.
: b.     At LP-lW, open CKT 14 to de-energize east cooling tower lights.
Y. Individual Cooling Tower Fan Operation NOTES
* Tower wetting is not required to perform this surveillance.
* The fan may operate for up to two hours without running water in the towers and without performing prior cooling tower wetting.
: 1. Verify the selected cooling tower fan is clear of obstructions or debris.
: 2. Verify the selected cooling tower fan has normal oil level.
: 3. On panel 9-6, place the selected cooling tower fan control switch to FWD and observe the time.
: 4. Verify the selected cooling tower fan starts.
OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 48 of 52
: 5.       Locally verify no unusual noise or vibration is evident.
: 6.       When <2 hours have elapsed from fan start, place the selected cooling tower fan control switch to STP.
Z. Initial Tower Balancing Post Maintenance or on System Start-up NOTES The cooling tower distribution valves are reverse threaded and reverse seated. As a result they are operated Clockwise to Close and Counter Clockwise to Open as normal valves.
The following steps should be followed for each of the tower distribution valves. The valves may be positioned in any order, but all should be checked before tower operation or after tower maintenance that may have changed the valve positions.
: 1.     Turn the tower distribution valves clockwise to close.
: 2.       Open each valve to the initial position as follows:
* Cells 1-5, OPEN each valve 8 turns.
* Cells 6-11, OPEN each valve 9 turns.
CAUTION If a cell is overflowing badly, significant ground erosion can quickly occur. This situation needs to be promptly addressed.
: 3.     To prevent ground washout, if a cell is overflowing badly, adjust that cell first or secure CWB pumps as needed.
: 4.     If needed, rebalance the towers as follows:
If a cell is overflowing, evenly close the 4 distribution valves in that cell until overflow stops.
                    -If water depth on the cell distribution platform is less than about 1/2 of the way to the top of the retaining berm, OPEN evenly the 4 cell distribution valves until the water depth is about 1/2 to 3/4 the height of the berm.
Adjust cells as necessary until none overflow and water depth is approximately equal in each cell.

: 2)     Select the appropriate river flow. If the river flow is not an exact match to any river flow on the figure, then round down to the next lowest river flow if Figures 17 or 18 are used.
: 3)     Select the appropriate IRTC if Figure(s) 5 through 11 are used.
: 4)     Select the appropriate wet bulb temperature. If the wet bulb temperature is not an exact match for any wet bulb temperature on Figure 17 or 18, then proceed as follows:
If wet bulb temperature is >30 0 F, round up to the next highest wet bulb temperature.
0       If wet bulb temperature is <30%F, round down to the next lowest wet bulb temperature.

: 5)     For Figure 17 or 18 initial tower settings are at the intersection of the wet bulb temperature column and river flow. The information provided is defined as follows:
0       Ilyb: This means hybrid mode.
0       FOO: This means fans and the two numbers indicate the number fans required to be running.
S     G000: This means recirc gate and the two numbers indicate recirc gate position.
* For example on Figure 17 or 18, an initial setting of Hyb:F22:G03 means circ water in hybrid mode, 22 fans in service, and the recirc gate set to 3% open.

PURPOSE To ensure proper operation of the Circulating Water System and Cooling Towers by Operations Department personnel.

DISCUSSION The Circulating Water/Cooling Tower Systems provide a flow of water through the main condenser to provide the heat sink needed to condense the steam flowing into the main condenser. Additionally, it is used to control the heat input to the Connecticut River within the prescribed limits to ensure compliance with the NPDES permit thermal limits.

There are three basic modes of operation of the systems:

I. Open Cycle - circulating water from the river passes through condensers directly to the discharge structure and river.

2. Hybrid Cycle - circulating water from the river and discharge structure recirc pipe passes through the condenser and is pumped from the discharge structure by the circ water booster pumps through the cooling towers with part or all of the flow being directed to the river.
3. Closed Cycle - water cooled by the cooling towers is directed back to the intake structure through the recire pipe. A closed path is established and essentially no heat is rejected to the river.

The cooling towers are pre-wetted prior to normal operation and kept wet to maintain structural integrity'during cooling tower fan operation.

Under special circumstances, such as maintenance tests or PMTs, it is acceptable to run one cooling tower fan at a time for up to two hours without running water in the towers and without performing prior cooling tower wetting.

To ensure the circ water side of the condenser remains full, a minimum of 2 circ water pumps should be running, and the vacuum priming system is placed in service as necessary to remove air from the condenser water box outlets and the discharge line just upstream of the discharge structure.

In the closed cycle mode, blowdown from the circulating water system can be maintained to control water inventory and solids formation by controlling level in the discharge basin.

Past operating experience has demonstrated that optimum plant performance is best achieved when condenser back pressure is maintained at 1.0 inch HgA. During winter months when icing is a consideration, circ water inlet temperature can be maintained greater or equal to 33°F raised by permitting flow from the discharge to the intake structure via the recirc gate.

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 4 of 52

When the Circulating Water System is placed on CLOSED cycle for extended periods, the pH will rise and for this reason, sulfuric acid will be added to maintain pH between 6.5 and 8.5 Standard Units (SU). The heat load on the main condenser will also increase, causing microbiological growth to increase fouling on the condenser tube sheet and tubes. To minimize this biological fouling, the condenser must be periodically treated with algaecide, sodium hypochlorite and sodium bromide, to keep the growth in check. The Chemistry Department is responsible for monitoring and maintaining CW chemistry. The Operations Department is responsible for bulk makeup to the sodium bromide, sodium hypochlorite tank and the sulfuric acid tank. Procedure OP 2181, Service Water/Alternate Cooling Operating Procedure, covers bulk makeup to these tanks.

[EPU - During the winter permit period, at EPU conditions, when the river flow is less than 1500 cfs, hybrid mode is required. For river temperatures 50*F or less, hybrid mode may be used depending on wet bulb temperature, river flow and temperature as shown in Figures 17 and 18. For river temperatures >50°F, hybrid mode is required, as shown in the summer nomographs. For river temperatures 62°F or higher, closed-cycle mode is required.

For low river flow conditions (.1500 cfs) with river temperature <50°F the tables within Figure 17 for single tower operation or Figure 18 for two tower operation provide the operator with initial tower settings. The tables are based upon reactor and main generator output at EPU conditions and a 13.4°F river temperature rise. The tables contain the following information:

  • Up River Temperature from M036
  • River Volume Flowrate in FT3 per second
  • Wet Bulb temperature Twb
  • Thermal Capacity in cfs- 'F (based upon a 13.4 0F -AT)

S..initial tower settings for hybrid modes for defined conditions The new tables are used as follows:

  • Determine Up River Temperature using M036.
  • Determine river volume flow rate.
  • Determine wet bulb temperature.

Select the table with the appropriate river temperature. If the river temperature is not an exact match to any table, round down to the next lowest river temperature.

Select the appropriate river flow. If the river flow is not an exact match to any river flow on the table, then round down to the next lowest river flow.

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 5 of 52

Select the appropriate wet bulb temperature. If the wet bulb temperature is not an exact match for any wet bulb temperature on the table, then proceed as follows:

If wet bulb temperature is >30'F, round up to the next highest wet bulb temperature.

If wet bulb temperature is <30°F, round down to the next lowest wet bulb temperature.

Initial tower settings are at the intersection of the wet bulb temperature column and river flow. The information provided is defined as follows:

  • Hyb: This means hybrid mode.

FOO: This means fans and the two numbers indicate the number fans required to be running.

GOO: This means recire gate and the two numbers indicate recirc gate position.

Thus an initial setting of Hyb:F22:G03 means circ water in hybrid mode, 22 fans in service, and the recirc gate set to 3% open.

For low river flow condition with river temperature >50°F the Summer Operation Nomographs are to be used. The nomographs are revised to reflect a 100% RTP of 1912 MWth. Also included are summer derate nomographs that must be used to prevent high condenser backpressure during summer operations. These graphs provide initial power levels for acceptable back pressure based upon river thermal capacity and wet bulb temperature. Note that power reduction is only required at very low instantaneous river thermal capacities.]

1. Whenever the CW or SW discharge mode is changed, be aware that the sampling and monitoring valves may have to be realigned to ensure sampling requirements are met.

Chemistry must be notified when this occurs. (LER 88-01)

2. CW pump "B" should not be shutdown for long periods of time when ambient air temperature is below 32°F to prevent freezing of its cooling water pipes with the ventilation louvers open.
3. During subfreezing weather conditions, ice buildup on traveling screens may cause damage/failure when rotated. More frequent screen inspection may be required. Except as required by NPDES permit Part IV, Environmental Monitoring Studies, Connecticut River, operational mode of the screens may need to be altered at the discretion of the Shift Manager due to icing. (ER2002-2686_01)
4. During 2 "dweek of November to I' week in April, check Circ Water de-icing agitators placement per VYOPF 0150.01, AO Round Sheet Outside.
5. During chemical addition, operate in closed cycle. Readjust system upon verification by the Chemistry Department that circ water is within the limits of the NPDES permit.

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 9 of 52

6. Be aware that whenever the mode of operation is changed, the system requires at least 1/2 hour to reach temperature equilibrium.
7. When in Hybrid or Closed Cycle Mode changes in circulating water header pressure will affect flows to each cell in a tower. When changing Cire Water Booster Pump or tower lineups, cell flow balancing should be verified, and if required, performed.
8. Except for special circumstances, such as maintenance tests or PMTs, for which it is acceptable to run one cooling tower fan at a time for up to two hours without running water in the towers and without performing prior cooling tower wetting, do not operate cooling tower fans unless their associated cooling tower is wetted.
9. Minimize cycling of CTF 2-1.
10. Operation of radios near the hydraulic equipment can cause the gates to drift.
11. Do not operate bypass gates in the raise direction with level higher than 235' Forebay level.
12. Limit the number of 4KV pump motor starts to three starts in 5 minutes, followed by a 20 minute run or a 45 minute idle period for cooling.
13. Cooling Tower fan motor starting limits are:
a. no more than 4 starts per hour for the 125 HP fan, CT-2-1.
b. no more than 2 starts per hour cold (approximately 1041F or 40 0 C) or I start per hour hot (full load temp) for all the 200 HP fans.
c. Pause at least 6.5 minutes in OFF position before changing direction of rotation.
14. Maintain the CW intake gates shut during Closed Cycle operation. Normally, during plant shutdown the intake gates should be closed unless otherwise specified by plant conditions. During Open or Hybrid Cycle operation, at least one of the intake gates should be 100% open.
15. During the period October 15 through May 15 Open or Hybrid operation is allowed provided the following:
a. Temperature at Station 3 does not exceed 651F.
b. Rate of change of temperature at Station 3 does not exceed 5°F per hour as determined by calculating the difference between consecutive hourly average temperatures. (ER97-1567)

C. Plant-induced increase in temperature above ambient at Station 3 does not exceed 13.4 0 F.

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 10 of 52

NOTE The increase in temperature above ambient at Monitor 3 during steady state open cycle can be calculated using the following formula (which can also be used if ERFIS becomes inoperable from October 15 through May 15). If the formula is used, independent verification of the calculation must be obtained: (ER991077_05)

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 36 of 52

N. Subfreezing Operation of Cooling Towers NOTE The basic rule of thumb is to increase cooling tower inlet temperature as high as practicable while keeping operating cells at full water flow.

This will allow the warm water to flow across the outer edges of fill to prevent or correct ice formation.

1. If possible, secure #1 fan in west tower before all others in an attempt to minimize alternate cooling cell duty.
2. For mild icing (1/2" ice on fill and temperatures above 20'F), alternately sequence each fan OFF (at least every 10 minutes every hour).
3. For severe icing conditions, adjust the recirc gate or secure fans (maintaining TCrit positive) to maintain cooling tower exit temperature in the range of 70-90 0 F.
4. For more severe icing and while maintaining the margin to TCrit positive:
a. Allow each fan to coast to a minimum speed for at least 6.5 minutes before reversing direction.
b. Place every other fan in REVERSE as needed to control ice formation.
c. -Swap-direction hourly.

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 37 of 52

NOTE Isolating flow to cells should start at #1 (North End) and progress South to ensure theie are no dead legs in the distribution pipe.

5. If heavy icing continues to occur, cooling tower inlet temperature is too low and should be raised by performing 5.a, 5.b or both.
a. Incrementally open the recirc gate.
b. With the concurrence of the Operations Manager, isolate cells by:

0 Opening the header valve to FULL OPEN position to flush out any debris that may have accumulated on the valve disc and seat.

0 Closing the header valve after flushing.

0 Closing off cooling cells to keep all operating cells at full flow (water level at the top distribution pan should be 4-6 inches).

  • Stopping fans on any isolated cell.
6. Continue to sequence fans OFF or in REVERSE as necessary.

U. Operation with Low Vernon Pond Elevation NOTES

  • When Vernon Pond elevation is <212 feet, reduction of river flow into the CW intake bay may be necessary, in order to preclude excessive sediment transport into the SW system due to high water velocity (i.e., >1 fps) in the river offshore of the intake structure. (ER 97-1120)

The following Step 1 provides guidance to ensure that the CW system is operated such that the inflow into the intake structure from the river is the equivalent of two-thirds or less of full CW system flow. This will ensure that river flow velocity in the vicinity of the intake is less than 1 fps when Vernon Pond elevation is <212 feet.

At Vernon Pond elevation <212 ft., SW inlet temperature can be

-- affected when operating with the CW intake-gates-open-and with the recirc gate open about 60% or more.

1. If it is known that the elevation of Vernon Pond will go <214 ft., perform the following as required:
a. If CW system is operating with 2 CW pumps or operating in Closed Cycle mode, then no further action is required.
b. If CW system is operating with 3 CW pumps in Open Cycle or Hybrid Cycle mode, perform the following:

OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 45 of 52

W. Clearing of Debri§ from Intake Trash Racks NOTES

" If intake structure level falls to 209 ft., the intake gates will open automatically. They cannot be reclosed until level is above 209 ft.

I

" If intake structure level falls to 207 ft., the circ water pumps will trip. The circ water pumps cannot be restarted until intake level is above 207 ft.

" Operation of the recirc gate at low intake structure water levels will result in reduced flow to the deicing line due to the elevation I- difference between the recire line (195.25 ft centerline) and the deicing line (217 ft centerline). As a result, the deicing of the SW bay may not occur.

If significant ice or trash accumulates at racks or the floating boom, do the following: (CAR 9406801)

a. Place the traveling screens in Manual as soon as time permits.
b. Dispatch an operator to the discharge structure.

C. Open the recire gate to 50% until condenser backpressure approaches 3.0" HgAbs.

d. Thr6ftlth-e recirc gate to maintain 3.0 to 3.5" HgAbs until ice or trash-hiFs been pushed into mainstream of river, or ceases to move.
e. Close the recirc gate.
f. When the recirc gate has been closed for at least 30 minutes, place the traveling screens in Auto.
g. If leaves or trash are observed moving back toward the trash racks or floating boom, open recire gate to 5%.

5. Locally verify no unusual noise or vibration is evident.
6. When <2 hours have elapsed from fan start, place the selected cooling tower fan control switch to STP.

Z. Initial Tower Balancing Post Maintenance or on System Start-up NOTES The cooling tower distribution valves are reverse threaded and reverse seated. As a result they are operated Clockwise to Close and Counter Clockwise to Open as normal valves.

The following steps should be followed for each of the tower distribution valves. The valves may be positioned in any order, but all should be checked before tower operation or after tower maintenance that may have changed the valve positions.

1. Turn the tower distribution valves clockwise to close.
2. Open each valve to the initial position as follows:
  • Cells 1-5, OPEN each valve 8 turns.
  • Cells 6-11, OPEN each valve 9 turns.

CAUTION If a cell is overflowing badly, significant ground erosion can quickly occur. This situation needs to be promptly addressed.

3. To prevent ground washout, if a cell is overflowing badly, adjust that cell first or secure CWB pumps as needed.
4. If needed, rebalance the towers as follows:

If a cell is overflowing, evenly close the 4 distribution valves in that cell until overflow stops.

-If water depth on the cell distribution platform is less than about 1/2 of the way to the top of the retaining berm, OPEN evenly the 4 cell distribution valves until the water depth is about 1/2 to 3/4 the height of the berm.

Adjust cells as necessary until none overflow and water depth is approximately equal in each cell.

APPENDIX B DETERMINING AND ADJUSTING PLANT SETTINGS FOR NPDES COMPLIANCE I IEPU - BETWEEN THE DATES OF MAY 16 THROUGH OCTOBER 141 (SDR 94077)

NOTES Operations Management may implement changes to the "TCRIT Delta T Margin" or "TCRIT River Temp Rise Limit" based on instrument inaccuracy or a need to modify our limits based on previous performance.

In addition to the normal phone service, Wilder Station (Trans Canada) can also be contacted at 1-888-291-8221, 1-800-291-8105, and 1-800-291-8000.

CAUTION Removing a water box from service will cause the applicable ERFIS points, F052 to F059, to become inaccurate and may result in exceeding the NPDES permit. (ER 2002-2181)

Monitoring the plant settings is accomplished by using the following trends on ERFIS:

a. Trend 70 contains a graph of(1) Margin to TCRIT - C276, (2) Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity - C277, and (3) Heat Rejected To River - C064.
b. Trend 71 contains a graph of(1) Up River Temp - M036, (2) USGEN River Flow - C278, and (3) River Temperature Rise - C019.

C. Trend 72 contains a graph of Margin to TCRIT - C276, set on a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> scale to enhance definition.

Appendix B OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 1of 10

APPENDIX B (Continued)

2. To determine plant settings:
a. Obtain a value for:
1) C277 "INST RIVER THERMAL CAPACITY"
2) C174 "OUTDOOR WET BULB TEMPERATURE" or equivalent wet bulb temperature
3) M036 "UP RIVER TEMPERATURE"
4) River Temperature Correction Factor, as specified by Operations Management
b. Apply to the nomographs (Figures 5 through 11) for the present River Temperature plus the River Temperature Correction Factor, Wet Bulb Temperature, and Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity, to arrive at the estimated plant setting.

C. To make changes to plant settings refer to the appropriate section of the operating procedure.

3. When the schedule for Vernon Hydro will result in a reduction in river flow, the adjustments should be made at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled Vernon Hydro change, for increases in river flow adjustments should be made after the Vernon Hydro change is complete as follows:
a. Determine Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity as follows:

-IRTC = River Flow * (SYSOl2 - SYSol3)

Where: SYS012 = TCRIT River Temp Rise Limit SYSO13 = TCRIT Delta T Margin

b. Apply to the nomographs (Figures 5 through 11) for the present River Temperature plus the River Temperature Correction Factor, Wet Bulb Temperature, and Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity, to arrive at the estimated plant setting.

C. Record on plant setting change log changes in:

1) CW/CWB Pumps
2) Number of cooling tower fans
3) Gate positions Appendix B OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 2 of 10

APPENDIX B (Continued)

CAUTION

2. Monitoring of up river temperature is critical to the proper operation of the Project Save, due to the manually inputted numbers for river temperature when river temperature is changing.
3. When adjusting plant parameters for NPDES compliance, the recirc gate shall not be opened until the cooling towers are placed in service.
4. By frequently monitoring the ERFIS trends, adjustments to plant settings can be fine tuned to attain the most desirable output. 30 minutes is required to attain steady state conditions after adjustments are made.
a. Margin to TCRIT should be maintained above "0", but because of variances in inputs it may drop below "0" momentarily (ERFIS alarm). Verify that the area of the curve below "0" will be less than the area of the curve above "0" for each hour (HROO to HR59). Take steps to reduce thermal discharge as necessary to provide sufficient margin to ensure compliance for the hourly Margin to TCRIT.
b. Heat Rejected to the River should be maintained below the Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity. This will ensure that the plant does not exceed the river capacity.
c. The River Up/Down Temp. Rise should be maintained below the allowable temperature

- 'rise from the Precautions/Limitations based oncurrent-up river temperature.

Appendix B OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 3 of 10

APPENDIX B (Continued)

d. The "TCRIT River Temp. Rise Limit" (point ID 'SYS012') is a manually inputted point that is updated by the operator. As up river temperature increases, SYS012 should be changed Y2 degree before reaching the next temperature range. As up river temperature decreases, SYS012 should be changed 1/2/2 degree after reaching the next temperature range. To change the value refer to the table below:

NOTE If M036 is not available on ERFIS assume up river temperature = 631F.

M036 + River Temperature Correction Factor At,

>63 0F 20F

>59 0 F, <63 0 F 30F

>55 0F <590F 40F

<55°F 50F I

Write a Condition Report for any condition that violates or challenges NPDES limits.

e. The "TCRIT Delta T Margin" (point ID 'SYSO13') is a manually inputted point that is updated by the operator on direction from Operations Management per Step 5.

Appendix B OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 4 of 10

APPENDIX B (Continued)

NOTE If the C278 USGEN RIVER FLOW signal becomes invalid, then a fixed value (SYS010) of 1,250 CFS will be fed into C275 CONN RIVER FLOW. The flow value of SYS010 may be adjusted by Control Room personnel once they are able to obtain the correct river flow from Wilder Dam personnel (802-291-8105). If a microwave signal problem is indicated, additional information regarding the microwave signal problem may be obtained from National Grid (508-389-2441) or Northeast Utilities (860-665-6000).

5. To change the value of the manually inputted points above perform the following:
a. On the ERFIS computer keyboard, press the 'CAV' button.
b. Log in to the User Security Password screen by typing the appropriate password and pressing the Enter key.

C. Using the cursor, click on the PTID field.

d. At Data Point Selection window, type in appropriate point ID in the Point Search/Text space and then hit 'Find'.
e. Verify PTID updated to appropriate Point ID on 'CAV' screen.
f. Move cursor to VALUE field and enter new Point ID value. Press enter on the ERFIS computer keyboard.
g. Verify computer point updated using CRO alarm typer.
h. Record ERFIS point ID, original, and final values on plant setting change log.
i. Update appropriate block on plant setting change log.
j. Have a second operator verify the as left value of the computer point being changed and make a note on plant setting change log.

2. To determine plant settings:
a. Obtain a value for:
1) C277 "INST RIVER THERMAL CAPACITY"
2) C174 "OUTDOOR WET BULB TEMPERATURE" or equivalent wet bulb temperature
3) M036 "UP RIVER TEMPERATURE"
4) River Temperature Correction Factor, as specified by Operations Management
5) C275 "CONN RIVER FLOW"
b. Apply the obtained values as follows to obtain estimated settings:
1) IF UP RIVER TEMPERATURE IS <50OF, THEN refer to Figure 17 for single cooling tower operation or Figure 18 two tower operation as follows:

a) Apply Up River Temperature, the River Temperature Correction Factor, the Wet Bulb Temperature, and River Flow to arrive at the estimated plant setting.

b) IF the obtained readings are not exact matches for the values on the tables, round the -values as follows:

  • If the river temperature is not an exact match to any table, round down to the next lowest river temperature.
  • If the river flow is not an exact match to any river flow on the table, then round down to the next lowest river flow.
  • If wet bulb temperature is >300 F, round up to the next highest wet bulb temperature.
  • If wet bulb temperature is <30'F, round down to the next lowest wet bulb temperature.

c) Initial tower settings are at the intersection of the wet bulb temperature column and river flow.

Appendix D OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 2 of 12

APPENDIX D (Continued)

2) IF UP RIVER TEMPERATURE IS >50°F, THEN refer to the nomographs, Figure 5 through 11, for the present River Temperature plus the River Temperature Correction Factor, Wet Bulb Temperature, and Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity to arrive at the estimated plant setting. These settings are expected to be very conservative.
c. To make changes to plant settings refer to the appropriate section of the operating procedure.
3. When the schedule for Vernon Hydro will result in a reduction in river flow, the adjustments should be made at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled Vernon Hydro change, for increases in river flow adjustments should be made after the Vernon Hydro change is complete as follows:
a. Determine Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity as follows:

IRTC = River Flow * (SYS012 - SYS013)

Where: SYS012 = TCRIT River Temp Rise Limit SYS013 = TCRIT Delta T Margin

b. Apply the obtained values as follows to obtain estimated settings:
1) IF UP RIVER TEMPERATURE IS <50°F, THEN refer to Figure 17 for single cooling tower operation or Figure 18 two tower operation as follows:

a) Apply UpRiver-Temperature, the River Temperature Correction Factor, the Wet Bulb Temperature, and River Flow to arrive at the estimated plant setting.

b) IF the obtained readings are not exact matches for the values on the tables, round the values as follows:

0 If the river temperature is not an exact match to any table, round down to the next lowest river temperature.

& If the river flow is not an exact match to any river flow on the table, then round down to the next lowest river flow.

0 If wet bulb temperature is >30%F, round up to the next highest wet bulb temperature.

  • If wet bulb temperature is <30 0 F, round down to the next lowest wet bulb temperature.

Appendix D OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 3 of 12

APPENDIX D (Continued) c) Initial tower settings are at the intersection of the wet bulb temperature column and river flow.

2) IF UP RIVER TEMPERATURE IS >50°F, THEN refer to the nomographs, Figure 5 through 11, for the present River Temperature plus the River Temperature Correction Factor, Wet Bulb Temperature, and Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity to arrive at the estimated plant setting. These settings are expected to be very conservative.

C. Record on plant setting change log changes in:

1) CW/CWB Pumps
2) Number of cooling tower fans
3) Gate positions CAUTIONS

" Monitoring of up river temperature is critical to the proper peration of the Project Save, due to the manually inputted numbers for river temperature when river temperature is changing.

" When adjusting plant parameters for NPDES compliance, the recirc gate shall not be opened until the cooling towers are placed in service.

  • During winter operations the recire gate is routinely positioned to prevent intake structure freezing. However, when adjusting plant parameters for NPDES compliance, the recirc gate should not be repositioned until the cooling towers are placed in service.
4. By frequently monitoring the ERFIS trends, adjustments to plant settings can be fine tuned to attain the most desirable output. 30 minutes is required to attain steady state conditions after adjustments are made.
a. Margin to TCRIT should be maintained above "0", but because of variances in inputs it may drop below "0" momentarily (ERFIS alarm). Verify that the area of the curve below "0" will be less than the area of the curve above "0" for each hour (HROO to HR59). Take steps to reduce thermal discharge as necessary to provide sufficient margin to ensure compliance for the hourly Margin to TCRIT.

Appendix D OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 4 of 12

APPENDIX D (Continued)

b. Heat Rejected to the River should be maintained below the Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity. This will ensure that the plant does not exceed the river capacity.
c. The River Up/Down Temp. Rise should be maintained below the allowable temperature rise from the Precautions/Limitations based on current up river temperature.
d. The "TCRIT River Temp. Rise Limit" (point ID 'SYS012') is a manually inputted point that is updated by the operator. As up river temperature increases, SYS012 should be changed %/degree before reaching the next temperature range. As up river temperature decreases, SYS012 should be changed %degree after reaching the next temperature range. For the period October 15 to May 15 TCRIT Temp. Rise Limit is equal to 65F-M036 not to exceed 13.4 AT.
e. Write a Condition Report for any condition that violates or challenges NPDES limits.
f. The "TCRIT Delta T Margin" (point ID 'SYS013') is a manually inputted point that is updated by the operator on direction from Operations Management per Step 5.

Appendix D OP 2180 Rev. 39 Page 5 of 12

APPENDIX D (Continued)

NOTE If the C278 USGEN RIVER FLOW signal becomes invalid, then a fixed value (SYS010) of 1,250 CFS will be fed into C275 CONN RIVER FLOW. The flow value of SYS010 may be adjusted by Control Room personnel once they are able to obtain the correct river flow from Wilder Dam personnel (802-291-8105). If a microwave signal problem is indicated, additional information regarding the microwave signal problem may be obtained from National Grid (508-389-2441) or Northeast Utilities (860-665-6000).

5. To change the value of the manually inputted points above perform the following:

NOTE Changing the value of manually inputted points may impact the margin to TCRIT.

a. On the ERFIS computer keyboard, press the 'CAV' button.
b. Log in to the User Security Password screen by typing the appropriate password and pressing the Enter key.
c. Using the cursor, click on the PTID field.
d. At Data Point Selection window, type in appropriate point ID in the Point Search/Text space and then hit 'Find'.
e. Verify PTID updated to appropriate Point ID on 'CAV' screen.
f. Move cursor to VALUE field and enter new Point ID value. Press enter on the ERFIS computer keyboard.
g. Verify computer point updated using CRO alarm typer.
h. Record ERFIS point ID, original, and final values on plant setting change log.
i. Update appropriate block on plant setting change log.
j. Have a second operator verify the as left value of the computer point being changed and make a note on plant setting change log.

b. IF the result is not within the ATr limit OR the calculation cannot be performed, THEN place the circulating water system in a hybrid cycle based upon the following assumptions, per Figure 17 for single cooling tower operation or Figure 18 for two cooling tower operation if river temperature is <50°F, or nomographs (Figures 5 through 11) if river temperature is >50°F.

1250 cfs river flow

  • Use last wet bulb temperature, IF within four hours of taking the reading.

IF >4 hours have elapsed since taking the reading, THEN obtain actual wet bulb temperature using I&C M&TE equipment or ERFIS point C174, if available.

0 Obtain river temperature. Use methods in OP 2181, Local Sample Service Water Temperature Monitoring, if normal river temperature indication is not available.

0 Calculate Instantaneous River Thermal Capacity as follows. For winter operations limit IRTC to <16750 cfs- "F.

IRTC = 1250 cfs * (65"F - River Temperature)

c. Adjust tower settings per the appropriate Table. Interpolate as follows:
1) Select the table with the appropriate river temperature. If the river temperature is not an exact match to any figure, round down to the next lowest rivertemperature.
2) Select the appropriate river flow. If the river flow is not an exact match to any river flow on the figure, then round down to the next lowest river flow if Figures 17 or 18 are used.
3) Select the appropriate IRTC if Figure(s) 5 through 11 are used.
4) Select the appropriate wet bulb temperature. If the wet bulb temperature is not an exact match for any wet bulb temperature on Figure 17 or 18, then proceed as follows:

If wet bulb temperature is >30 0 F, round up to the next highest wet bulb temperature.

0 If wet bulb temperature is <30%F, round down to the next lowest wet bulb temperature.
