Modeling of Wolf Creek Generating Station Kansas Gas and Electric Company

The objectives of this study were to: assess the potential for using MMS as a tool for future engineering applications; develop a working model, BOP in particular, that could be used for future analytical work on the system modeled; and to build an in-house modeling capability for analyzing and understanding the thermal-hydraulic behavior and systems performance of the plant. The Wolf Creek Generating Station, SNUPPS Unit 1, has a nominal rating of 1150 MWe. The unit includes a General Electric, 1800 rpm, tandem-compound, six-flow turbine generator supplied with steam from a Westinghouse pressurized water reactor rated at 3425 MWt. The ultimate goal of the MMS modeling effort is to develop a working model for the entire secondary plant of Wolf Creek Generating Station. To accomplish this, the secondary plant has been divided into the following modular subsystems: high pressure feedwater heater train, low pressure feedwater heater train, power conversion system, and U-tube steam generators. The MMS model for each subsystem will be generated, debugged and executed independently before they are merged together to form the entire secondary plant. The results of the modeling effort on the models of high pressure feedwater heater train and steam generator level control system are presented
