A survey study for retrofit of SOE system in the Nuclear Power Plant

원자력발전소 SOE 계통의 성능개선을 위한 조사연구

The Sequence Of Event (SOE) system used in nuclear power plants is a part of the Plant Data Acquisition System (PDAS). The SOE system of the existing nuclear power plant share the computer H/W and S/W, and required more complicated structure to provide the events or trip signals. Moreover, there are high potential of collision between synchronization signals and data transmitted to the Plant Computer System(PCS) when the synchronization signals are sent from PCS to the three SOE processors. When this collision happens the SOE system will break down, thus it is not possible to analyze the trend of events or trips. This paper issued the limitation items of the existing SOE system and proposed the revised SOE system.
