The paper mainly elaborates the negative pressure control technology and commissioning approaches for double-wall containment of Russian WWER-1000 nuclear power units. It also carries out an analysis and research on the layered negative pressure technology in the containment. It mainly includes the following three parts: A Russian WWER-1000 nuclear power unit adopts the structure of double-wall containment for its Reactor building, with independent negative pressure systems for the containment and the annular space between the two walls. The paper mainly elaborates the control methods and limits requirements for the negative pressure in the containment and the annular space under the normal operation condition and in case of design basis accidents, with analysis and argumentation on the design function and operation requirements of the negative pressure system for the containment and the annular space. In the paper, the design philosophy of layered negative pressure and its feasibility study are analyzed from the aspects of radiated partition, air distribution of the negative pressure system and containment separator for layered negative pressure. The commissioning methods and technical requirements of negative pressure system in the Reactor building are described in the paper. Problems encountered during commissioning are also addressed and analyzed. Operations practices prove that the negative pressure control technology for double-wall containment of WWER-1000 nuclear power unit is advanced and reliable, which meets the requirements on nuclear air decontamination emission and radiation protection, and is worthy of study, research and reference.

Abstract Digitalisation and automation can account for massive efficiencies in wells operations. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Automated Well Control are examples of "smart" technologies that can mitigate risks and costs associated with drilling wells. The Automated Well Control system was developed to monitor the well, identify an influx, take control of the rig equipment and shut in the well. MPD provides annular pressure control, real-time information of the well parameters and conditions downhole and very accurate and immediate influx detection. However, if a high intensity influx is taken that exceeds the pre-planned operational limits of the MPD package, then secondary well control is required. Therefore, a combination of Automated Well Control and MPD has been developed to deliver both pressure control and well control in a safe, efficient and less error-prone manner. On an MPD operation, the Automated Well Control system shuts-in the well as soon as it is required to do so. With Automated Well Control in MPD mode, the MPD system decides when to shut in and the Automated Well Control technology will immediately space out, stop the mud pumps and top-drive, and shut in the well using the pre-selected blowout preventer. This interface between the two systems mitigates drilling hazards using automation. The sensitivity of MPD, combined with Automated Well Control technology enables fast identification, decision making and reaction to well control events. Consequently, this fully integrated solution improves safety and operational efficiency. The MPD and Automated Well Control systems were integrated into a test rig and several tests were efficiently performed. The tool enabled immediate action in the event of influxes, providing a valuable solution for the industry. This paper briefly describes MPD and Automated Well Control and summarises the interface between the two technologies, detailing how the integrated system works on a rig. Moreover, rig trialling results and further developments are presented.

A kind of digital pressure control project is put forward to solve the problem of pressure fluctuation inside the carriage by using the experience of airplane's pressure control system. Based on the pressure difference monitored between the inside and outside of the carriage, the control signal is output to the actuator by the controller, according to the control program set in it, in order to stabilize the pressure in the carriage. After the mathematical models of the main parts of the control system are found, a mathematical model of the whole system is established. Fuzzy control technology is applied in the new control system. The fuzzy controller is designed by using the matlab software, and then the simulation system is constructed. It is proved practical by the simulation result.

It is of vital importance for the pressurizer to maintain the pressure of primary coolant because the sharp change of coolant pressure has a direct impact on the security of reactor. The study of pressurizers pressure control method is highly important and meaningful. This paper presents the researching and designing on pressure control system of a pressurizer implemented in a nuclear power plant. Both the present situation of the nuclear power and some relevant background have been briefly introduced. Proceeding on the records of simulation, we succeed in establishing the applied modeling of pressurizer and further propose the PID control technology working as control algorithm. The best set of controller parameters are chosen through comparing the results including regulation time, overshoot suppression and stability. On the base of such control method, we attempt to add neural network control technology to achieve further improvement, which turns out available and satisfying.
