Possibilities for Optimizing the Self-Starting Process of Auxiliary Electric Motors at a Nuclear Power Plant

Abstract

The existing technique of switching on the auxiliary reserve network of an NPP formulates the switch-on commands directly after a shutdown. Due to delay in activating the automatic switch, the command is completed with a certain time delay. The nature of the subsequent processes is not very predictable. It is proposed to determine, based on developed computer models of the actual equipment, the moments of formation of the reserve activation commands, thus ensuring smaller perturbations at the subsequent switch-on.
