Passive Safety Systems in Modern Nuclear Power Stations
Journal Title: Acta Energetica - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue 1
Abstract
The authors present operating principles of passive safety systems used in nuclear power plants using the example of the AP1000 plant. In particular, they describe the passive residual heat removal system and the passive containment cooling system. Moreover, the paper presents an analysis of a scenario involving the failure to start of active elements (Diesel generators) in the case of a loss of off-site power. The study presents the role of passive safety systems mentioned above in residual heat removal, as well as their impact on the temperature of the working medium in the cooling circuit and the refuelling water storage tank (IRWST).

Effect of dE-NOx techniques employed in thermal power plants on fly ash properties
Coal fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion in thermal power plants, is one of the most complex and abundant of anthropogenic materials. For several years, fly ash has predominantly been used as a substitute for materi...
Development Strategies for Electric Utilities
Electric utilities are of key importance for the national economy. Many research institutions deal with issues of the power sector to find an answer to the question, which of the developed strategies to ensure energy sec...
A Method of Power System Static Stability Analysis
The paper reports on a study of changes in a power system’s operating parameters under a rise in its load. The results of these and similar studies may lead to an expansion of current views on a grid’s stiffness, its sta...
Influence of Power System on Operation of an HVDC Link. A Case Study
An HVDC link enables power and energy exchange between unsynchronised power grids. Large possibilities of controlling active power flows through such systems enable commercial transfers, as well as emergency power balanc...
