Control system for the RBMK-1500 RELAP5 model


4.3 Steam Drum Level Controller

 

A proportional-integral controller will be used to control the steam drum separator liquid level during normal operating and transient conditions. The steam drum control logic specifies the system flowrate for the feedwater and auxiliary feedwater injection systems [ ].

System Inputs for the Feedwater Controller

The drum separate level control is evaluated by comparing the drum liquid level, the drum level setpoint, the non-dimensional reactor power, and the non-dimensional feedwater flow [8].

e(t) = HDSSP + HDSCOR - HDSCUR + k1*Nrcur - k2*FFW + k3*Haux

where,

e(t) Mismatch signal, e

HDSSP Setpoint level signal (0 mm)

HDSCOR Corrective regulator signal

HDSCUR Current Drum Separator signal

k1*Nrcur Reactor capacity signal

k2*FFW Feedwater flowrate signal

k3*Haux Auxiliary signal

The feedwater valve command signal is given as follows,

U = ap*{ e(t) + 1/t*òe(t)dt }

where,

U Valve command signal

ap Coefficient of proportionally

t Time coefficient of the regulation unit

The scaling coefficients are given as follows [4];

k1 = 0.72

k2 = 0.8

k3 ~ 0.0 + 0.023

ap = 1.3 s/%

t = 25 s

Based on conversations with the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant personnel [4], the Auxiliary Signal, Haux, and the Corrective Regulator Signal, HDSCOR, are not generally important to the calculation of the feedwater flowrate. Consequently, these signals will be neglected. The remaining signals are calculated using control functions as follows;

Non-dimensional Reactor Capacity, Nrcur

The reactor capacity is calculated based on the load demand at the turbogenerators. The turbogenerators are not modeled in the RBMK model. Consequently, the capacity must be estimated using the reactor power. An estimated 5 s lag is applied to account for time delays in the hydraulic transport.

Non-dimensional Feedwater Flow, FFW

The reactor feedwater flow is based on the calculated nominal flow at steady state conditions. The steady state feedwater flow is 1178 kg/s, per side of the reactor. The auxiliary and main feedwater flows are added together to evaluate the total feedwater into the system. Due to the trip logic, only one system will be active at any time. Separate feedwater flows are required for the LHS and the RHS.

Main Feedwater or Auxiliary Feedwater Control Logic

The control of the feedwater flow versus auxiliary feedwater must be determined. It is assumed that main feedwater flow is active unless the following signals are active.

• Sharp pressure change in the deaerators

• Loss-of-offsite power

• Manual trip

Auxiliary feedwater is activated under the following signals

• Long-term ECCS Signal (see Section 4.1)

• 1 minute diesel startup time with a loss-of-offsite power [ ]

The following trip logic is performed to evaluate the termination of the feedwater flow. The inverse trip signal is evaluated and lagged to simulate the coast down of the feedwater pumps after they are tripped. Since the dearators are not modeled, the dearator pressure signal is not considered.

Auxiliary Feedwater Flow

The auxiliary feedwater is controlled in a similar manner. The flow demand signal is multiplied times the auxiliary actuation logic to specify the auxiliary feedwater flowrate. The signal is lagged to smooth transitions. The maximum flow through the auxiliary feedwater system is 350 kg/s through 5 pumps.
