<p>Currently, in power plants, the application of the extinction coil in high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point is less experienced. A research done on nuclear power plant and conventional fossil fuel power plant proved that using an auxiliary power system’s different characteristics was leading to different demands of the grounding modes. Thus, this research was done by selecting the grounding mode of high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point on the main nuclear power plants and the partial fossil fuel power plants together with the calculation of practical engineering, and optimal design schemes. The high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point grounding modes have been induced in the large-scale into the nuclear power plant and the conventional fossil fuel power plant. Methods in determining the neutral point grounding modes are used by analyzing the principles commonly used grounding modes and requirements of related codes. First, choose the suitable grounding mode according to the calculation result of capacitive current. Then, choose more conducive grounding mode to the operation of power plant according to the operation of technology equipment. The power is required from the configuration, connection of auxiliary power and the cut from the accident of auxiliary power. As some power plants which are under-construction will be putting into operation one after another, the whole set of perfect security arrangements and operating experiences will also be accumulated inevitably. As a conclusion, high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point grounding modes directly affect the running of the auxiliary power system and even affect the security of the nuclear safety and the operation of the power plant. I hope this article can play a role for reference on the selection of the auxiliary power system grounding modes.</p>

At present, in the typical design of China’s nuclear power plant, main generation system is connected to the power grid by 500 kV system. 500 kV system as a priority power source, 220kV system as an auxiliary power source. Independent operation of 500kV and 220kV system, improved the reliability of power supply of nuclear power plant. However, the DC 220V power system used to control the 500kV and 220kV system in the switch station of partial nuclear power project is not independently configured, and the design form of one set of DC system is used in the transformer station. In recent years, there are many accidents that AC power enters into the DC power system, resulted in the loss of power source in the transformer station. The loss of external power source in the whole plant is very significant. In this paper, the influence of AC power entering into DC power system on relay protection device is analyzed, the measures to prevent the AC power into DC power system are discussed, the necessity of independent configuration of DC control power system for the 500kV priority power system and 220kV auxiliary power supply system is analyzed.

Electricité de France produces about 75% of its electricity with nuclear power plants. Some hydraulic plants and most fossil fuel power plants are used to pass electricity consumption peaks. Therefore these facilities are required only intermittently. For such systems, a breakdown does not result in a production loss during a standby period. This particular feature is not taken into account by conventional availability evaluation methods. The objective of this paper is to introduce a definition of availability which holds in such a context, and to describe a mathematical method suited to the calculation of this new definition of availability.

AbstractThis study presents a combination of optimal placement and power system development with the aim of supplying electricity for Nuclear Power Plant after the trip of power plant. Power supply to the internal loads of power plant by the off-site power system is one of the main fields of research in achieving the safety Nuclear Power Plant. One of the main purposes in this article is to introduce a suitable and safe place for the construction and connection of a Nuclear Power Plant to the power system. These locations are identified by the power plants on-site loads and the average of the lowest number of relay protection after the Nuclear Power Plant trip, based on electricity considerations. Along with the optimal placement in this paper, the power system development, including the generation and transmission development in order to provide electricity with higher reliability to the Nuclear Power Plant after the trip is also presented. Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube Sampling probabilistic methods are proposed for locating the site of a Nuclear Power Plant and algorithms of Genetic and Particle Swarm Optimization for locating and developing power generation and transmission systems. The simulation results are implemented on the IEEE RTS 24-bus system, and finally suitable locations for the construction of the Nuclear Power Plant and the generation and transmission development with the aim of feeding the power plant from the off-site power system and sufficient assurance that the reactor core does not melt after the trip, are determined.

Optimizing existing nuclear power plants adding developing power technology can help find effective ways of improving variable power loads in an electric power system. One of the most promising options is combining a nuclear power plant with a newly developed autonomous hydrogen complex reported in our research. The ability of storing unused energy and releasing it when needed will raise contribution of nuclear power plants in compensating improving variable power loads, shorten emissions as well as contribution of conventional thermal power plants into electric power generation. Also, as we demonstrated in our previous research results, a low-power steam turbine plant used in the said autonomous hydrogen complex can support an auxiliary power system of a nuclear power plant reusing residual reactor heat in case of an outage.

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the earth surface, atmosphere and oceans.The global warming in recent years has been international issues. The issues come to the surfacebecause global warming has the very big impact to the world and the lives of animal, plant and human,such as world climate change. The main cause of global warming is the combustion of fossil fuel suchas coal, oil and natural gas, that released carbon dioxide and other gases to atmosphere as greenhousegases. One of alternative to retard this global warming is by replacing fossil fuel with utilization of nuclearenergy for power plant. As a comparison, a 1,000 MWe nuclear power plant as a substitute for coal fi redpower plant at the same capacity, will reduce 6,000,000 tons of CO2 gas emission per year. Consideringenvironmental aspect, the nuclear power plant is not emitting CO2 gas, so that the use of nuclear powerplant can retard the global warming. Considering economic aspect, based on operational experienceof nuclear power plants in advanced countries, it is shown that cost of generating electricity of nuclearpower plants is more competitive than fossil fuel power plant. Considering safety aspect, nuclear powerplant operating in the world, have passed by a technological test. They have also an excellent operationreliability and a very good safety system.

Due to the increase in energy demand, many countries suffer from energy poverty because of insufficient and expensive energy supply. Plans to use alternative power like nuclear power for electricity generation are being revived among developing countries. Decisions for installation of power plants need to be based on careful assessment of future energy supply and demand, economic and financial implications and requirements for technology transfer. Since the problem involves many vague parameters, a fuzzy model should be an appropriate approach for dealing with this problem. This study develops a Fuzzy Multi-Objective Linear Programming (FMOLP) model for solving the nuclear power plant installation problem in fuzzy environment. FMOLP approach is recommended for cases where the objective functions are imprecise and can only be stated within a certain threshold level. The proposed model attempts to minimize total duration time, total cost and maximize the total crash time of the installation project. By using FMOLP, the weighted additive technique can also be applied in order to transform the model into Fuzzy Multiple Weighted-Objective Linear Programming (FMWOLP) to control the objective values such that all decision makers target on each criterion can be met. The optimum solution with the achievement level for both of the models (FMOLP and FMWOLP) are compared with each other. FMWOLP results in better performance as the overall degree of satisfaction depends on the weight given to the objective functions. A numerical example demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed models to nuclear power plant installation problem.
