Description

The dynamic performance of the Fueling Machine (F/M) Heavy Water (D2O) supply system for Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is evaluated using Modular Modeling System (MMS) computer code. Parametric study has been carried out to investigate the effects of dual common set pressures, the slew rate of series valve and the integration gain of magazine pressure controllers on the dynamic behavior of common header pressure during the mode changes of the F/M supply pressure. Proper slew rate of series valve is effective to attenuate the overshoot of common header pressure during mode changes, while integral gain of magazine pressure controllers is effective to control the oscillation of common header pressure. The analytical results are used for the new control system parameter settings and show good agreement with plant test data of F/M D2O supply system for Wolsong NPP Unit 1. (author)
