Abstract

The present invention provides an alternative circulation cooling method for an emergency core cooling system that, even if the emergency core cooling system does not operate normally, can prevent the implementation of containment vessel venting by suppressing a rise in pressure and temperature in the containment vessel, and can suppress the implementation of dry-well venting even if containment vessel venting needs to be performed, as well as a nuclear power plant that is capable of the same. An alternative circulation cooling method for an emergency reactor core cooling system is performed at a nuclear power plant that includes an RHR system and a MUWC system. The method includes: connecting the downstream side of an RHR heat exchanger to the upstream side of a MUWC pump, and cooling water from a suppression chamber using the RHR heat exchanger and performing nuclear reactor injecting or containment vessel spraying using the MUWC pump.

Abstract

In the present invention, in a case where a stable equilibrium point calculation is not calculable by using a Newton method, a damping factor of a mechanical system differential equation of a generator is set to be greater than an actual value of the generator of the power system. By applying pseudo-transient simulation to the nonlinear differential algebraic equation of the power system including the mechanical system differential equation of the generator, in which the damping factor is set, a norm of a mechanical system equation is found. If the found norm meets a predetermined condition, variable values of the power system at a time when the norm is found are set as initial values of the nonlinear differential algebraic equation of the power system. A stable equilibrium point is determined by applying the Newton method to the nonlinear differential algebraic equation in which the initial values are set.

Abstract

[Task] In a power conversion system, a variation in PCS alternating current voltage is suppressed during a change operation to a self-contained run according to an instantaneous voltage drop-service interruption. [Means for solving the task] During an ordinary system voltage stabilization, with change switch 25 changed to the output side of APR control circuit 22 and change switch 400 changed to the output side of charge/discharge run PWM command value preparing section 200, the power conversion system is run in a charge/discharge run mode. If the instantaneous voltage drop or the service interruption occurs, change switch 25 is changed to the output side of the self-contained run change prior current command value preparing section 60 and the constant current discharge run is carried out in which the electric power is discharged for a predetermined time duration in response to the current command value of the self-contained run change prior current command value preparing section 60. Thus, after a predetermined time has elapsed, change switch 400 is changed to the output side of the self-contained run PWM command value preparing section 30 to perform the self-contained run. At this time, the variation in PCS alternating current voltage in the power conversion system is suppressed.
