Abstract

Power system which provides electricity to the accident mitigation load for nuclear power plant should be verified to maintain the proper voltage level under the various loading and source conditions. For this purpose, it was needed to collect the voltage data of safety related buses during operation of the Reactor Coolant Pump(RCP) motor and Component Cooling Water Pump(CCWP) motor, respectively, under the certain loading condition of the plant. The data (such as, voltage, current, power factor) collected from actual measurement were used to modify the existing ETAP model and then the reanalysis was conducted to simulate the testing conditions. Through these actual measurement and analysis, it ensures that the existing electrical system analysis including assumptions and methods was conducted properly. Finally, the voltage of safety related buses was not dropped below the acceptable level, and the discrepancy between two results was within the limit.

원자력발전소의 사고 대처 부하에 전력을 공급하는 전원계통은 다양한 조건에서도 일정 전압이 유지됨을 분석을 통하여 입증한다. 이를 위하여 발전소를 일정부하 운전 상태로 유지하고, 대용량 전동기(원자로냉각재펌프(RCP), 기기냉각수펌프(CCWP))를 각각 기동하여 기동 전 후 안전관련 모선의 전압을 측정하였다. 현장 시험으로 확보된 자료(예, 전압, 전류, 역율 등)는 기존 전력계통해석 모델의 운전 조건으로 재입력하고 재분석을 수행하였다. 이는, 기존 전력계통분석에 사용된 분석기법과 가정들을 실질적인 측정과 결과 분석으로 입증하는 과정이다. 결국, 두 경우의 전압 강하는 발전소 안전에 중요한 기기의 전압이 허용전압 이하로 저하되지 않음과 두 값의 비교 결과가 요구되는 제한치 이내임을 검증한다.
