-Check turbo generator lube oil sump level and drain it for water. Replenish it if level is less than normal.
-Start the lube oil priming pump from the local station and check the lube oil pressure. Put the priming pump on auto.
-Check and fill up the Turbine Generator vacuum pump operating water tank to normal level.
-Check vacuum condenser condensate level from the condensate pump. Put the pump on auto so that the level is maintained all the time.
-Operate the steam drain valve to drain any condensed water from the steam line to avoid excessive hammering and vibration while starting turbo generator.
-Open the main steam inlet valve for turbo generator.
-Adjust the gland steam pressure to normal level.
-Check and open the sea water valves for vacuum pump cooler, T/G lube oil cooler and vacuum condenser are opened.
-Start the vacuum pump and bring up the vacuum in the condenser.
-Open condensate pump valves and switch on the pump.
-Check whether the condensate vacuum, gland steam pressure, steam inlet pressure, and lube oil pressure are normal.
-Start turbo generator from the local station and close the drain in the steam line.
-Check first and second stage steam pressure.
-Check condenser vacuum and water level.
-Check lube oil pressure and vibration levels.
-Check turbo generator speed, voltage, frequency, vacuum, condenser level and other parameters.
-Give control to remote station from the local control and take the TG on load.
Ljungstrom Turbine is a Radial Outflow Steam Turbine with two counter rotating discs. Blades are mounted in circles one bigger than the other. Blades of one rotor work as nozzles for the other rotor blades. This turbine design is very forgiving on wet steam. It is said that the turbine design had limitations on scaling up above 30 MW and hence could not compete with Axial Flow Turbines.
Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.

axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
It is an engine.A steam turbine is a heat engine that uses the expansion of steam passing through stationary nozzles and blades on a shaft to turn the shaft. The steam can move through the turbine axially (one end of shaft to the other end), radially (shaft to outer casing), or tangentially (around the outer edges of the turbine wheel). In an impulse turbine, the steam is expanded in nozzles and pushes the blades. In a reaction turbine the steam is expanded in the nozzles AND in the blades, the reaction of the expansion of the steam pushes away from the blades spinning the wheel in the process. The expansion of the steam is necessary to increase its velocity through the turbine.
It depends upon megawatt of turbine & design of blades.

Why extractions are taken out from steam turbine.
Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.
The preventive maintenance of steam turbine mainly entails frequent servicing of the parts. This will ensure a smooth performance of the steam turbine.
No, a steam turbine should not be operated at low loadings. This will only utilize the tips of the blades, causing twist that is outside of design parameters. You can operate this way, but the time you can do so is limited.
Firstly, vacuum is being created in turbine exhaust and condenser rather than being required. It is created to reduce the back-pressures and to improve the turbine efficiency. Also, with vacuum the designers can design large size last stage blades of LP turbine for maximizing the turbine output.

Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
The amount of electricity generated by a steam turbine in one second depends on several factors, including the size and efficiency of the turbine, the pressure and temperature of the steam, and the overall power output of the turbine. On average, a large steam turbine can produce anywhere from 1 to 5 megawatts of electricity per second. However, it is important to note that this is a general estimate and actual output can vary significantly based on specific operating conditions and design parameters.
why we are maintain vacuum in steam turbine at steam outlet or exhaust side
Steam turbine nozzle clearance is the total energy content available in steam. This is through a valve.
