The document outlines the steps to safely shut down a 210 MW power generation unit for overhaul and maintenance. It involves gradually reducing boiler steam parameters and turbine load over several steps by cutting mills and heaters, before finally tripping the turbine. Key steps include maintaining temperature differences, ensuring availability of emergency equipment, monitoring parameters, and opening drains. The shutdown is completed by venting the boiler drum and stopping auxiliary systems once drum pressure is reduced.
