At 15:19 on April 18, 2025, GT3 cranking was successfully achieved. This moment not only adds a strong stroke to the commissioning work of the entire plant, but also means that we have taken another solid and powerful step on the journey of full commissioning of the unit.
In order to ensure that the operators fully understand the process, precautions and related safety measures of the turning operation, and ensure the safety and efficiency of the turning operation, before starting, the chief commissioning engineer gave technical and safety briefings to the entire commissioning team and the participating maintenance personnel. High-speed setting is a key link in the commissioning process of a gas turbine power plant. Its purpose is to detect the installation quality and operating status of each component of the unit through rotation, and ensure the safety and stability of the unit before formal operation. After the success of GT1 and GT2 cranking, the commissioning team summarized the experience and successfully applied it to the commissioning of GT3 cranking. During the GT3 cranking control process, the equipment ran smoothly, the speed was stable, and all parameters reached the expected targets, creating good conditions for subsequent startup and grid-connected power generation.
The success of the GT3 cranking control is the result of the cooperation of all members' superb skills and rigorous work attitude. Careful operation and close cooperation ensured the smooth progress of the commissioning work. They strictly control every detail of the equipment, from speed control to solenoid valve response, from load gearbox optimization to starting current adjustment. Every link has been repeatedly verified and optimized to ensure the efficiency and stability of the equipment operation. It reflects the team members' strict control of quality during the equipment installation and commissioning process, and demonstrates the team's spirit of unity and cooperation in the face of complex tasks.
Next, all members of the Ajebandele Power Station Project will continue to promote various commissioning work throughout the plant, further optimize the equipment operating parameters, and ensure the safe, stable and efficient commissioning of the unit. The commissioning team will continue to uphold the attitude of excellence, and other members will work together to escort the smooth commissioning and stable operation of the power plant.
