Noise level for the continuously operating equipment shall not be more
than 85 dBA at a distance of 1 metre and at a height of 1.5 metre from
any equipment except in case of Turbine Generator for which noise
level shall not exceed 90 dBA. For short term exposure, noise levels
shall not exceed the limits as stipulated in the Occupational Safety &

The unit shall give MCR output under the following conditions:
- Maximum cooling water temperature at site
- Worst fuel quality stipulated for the unit
- Grid frequency variation of -5% to +3% (47.5 Hz to 51.5 Hz)
(2)
The unit shall be capable of base load operation. However, the unit shall
also be capable of regular load cycling and two-shift operation. The steam
turbine shall be designed for a minimum of 4000 hot starts, 1000 warm starts
and 150 cold starts during its life.

The sub-critical unit shall be designed for constant pressure and sliding
pressure operation. The supercritical unit shall be designed for sliding
pressure operation.
(4)
The design shall cover adequate provision for quick start up and loading of
the unit to full load at a fast rate. The unit shall have minimum rate of loading
or unloading of 3% per minute above the control load (i.e. 50% MCR).
