Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear power plant accident simulation, and in particular to a network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation system and method. Background Art

[0002] Nuclear power plant simulation mainly uses modeling technology and simulation technology to obtain the operating characteristics of nuclear power plants. Modeling technology uses mathematical equations and logical control equations to describe the operating behavior and feedback of nuclear power plant system equipment, while simulation technology mainly uses computers to solve the established model equations with numerical analysis methods to obtain relevant parameter changes. Due to the particularity of the operation mode of nuclear power plants, nuclear power simulation technology plays an important role in the development of accident procedures, operator training, accident prevention and even mitigation of accident consequences.

[0003] Today's nuclear power simulation systems mainly include nuclear power simulators and engineering analysis software. Nuclear power simulators are comprehensive in function and have relatively accurate calculation results. They are divided into: training simulators (used for training and assessment of nuclear power plant staff), nuclear power engineering simulators (used for engineering design and engineering research), nuclear power plant safety analysis machines (efficient and fast safety analysis) and nuclear power simulation analysis machines (real-time analysis-level simulation analysis systems). Engineering analysis software such as RELAP5, CATHARE, COBRA, etc. are characterized by high accuracy and wide application range, and are widely used in the field of nuclear power safety analysis.

[0004] Although nuclear power simulators and engineering analysis software are widely used, they still have some shortcomings that cannot be ignored, as follows:

[0005] 1. The nuclear power simulator focuses on the training and evaluation of operator behavior. The hardware part refers to the 1:1 layout of the main control room, and the project cost is expensive.

[0006] 2. There is no data interaction interface with the unit control system, the simulation function needs to set the working conditions, and the simulation is not fast enough;

[0007] 3. The simulator uses a preset simulation algorithm, but the power plant will continue to make design changes during the construction and commissioning process, resulting in deviations between the simulator and the actual operating conditions, and reduced calculation accuracy;

[0008] 4. The engineering analysis software has no visual human-computer interaction interface, and the deduction function requires repeated setting of working conditions. The operation is cumbersome and complicated, and the calculation cost is high.

[0009] 5. Both of them do not have online functions and cannot meet the teaching and training needs of distributed personnel. Summary of the invention

[0024] The experiment management interface is used to issue system experiment task management instructions, system authority management control instructions, and display the user experiment running status of the entire system.

[0026] A further improvement of the present invention is that the simulation experiment management module includes an experiment creation unit, an experiment management unit, a statistical analysis unit and a system setting unit;

[0037] A further improvement of the present invention is that the control module adopts a template engine rendering method, AJAX technology, POST / GET request and Websocket mechanism.

[0038] A network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation method comprises the following steps:

[0046] 2) The backend of the network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation system is deployed on a cloud server, so it has a stable simulation environment, and calculation errors caused by human error or personal computer failure basically do not occur. The records of network access can be called at any time, which to a certain extent avoids repeated operation of the same working conditions and improves work efficiency.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation system according to the present invention.

[0050] Figure 2 The present invention is a flowchart of a network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0052] Figure 1 The structure diagram of a network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation system described in the present invention is a multi-user online real-time simulation system developed based on B / S architecture and SpringBoot framework, which can be divided into two parts: server and client. Figure 1 The client side shown includes a human-computer interaction interface 100 and a control module 200, and the server side includes a simulation experiment management module 300, a fast real-time simulation calculation module 400 and a data storage module 500. Through the human-computer interaction interface 100, the user can input parameters to the system for simulation, and the control module 200 is used to complete the data transmission and information interaction between the client and the server. The experiment management module 300 is used to receive client information, manage experimental tasks, call the fast real-time calculation module 400 for simulation calculation, and store the data generated in the process in the data storage module 500, and feed back the calculation results to the human-computer interaction interface 100.

[0053] The human-computer interaction interface 100 is a browser-side operation / display interface built on a B / S architecture. This structure can perform distributed information processing, effectively reduce resource costs, and improve the overall performance of the system. Through this interface, real-time display and monitoring of parameters, real-time control parameter input, and data analysis can be performed. The interface mainly includes a primary circuit operation / display interface 101, a secondary circuit operation / display interface 102, a chemical volume system and an injection system operation / display interface 103, a residual heat removal system operation / display interface 104, a key parameter real-time display interface 105, and an experiment management interface 106.

[0054] The control module 200 includes a template engine rendering unit 201 and a Web data interaction unit 202. The template engine unit 201 is used to extract page information and form a Json data file to transmit to the server. The Web data interaction unit 202 is used to perform data interaction with the server.

[0055] It should be noted that in the Web data interaction unit 202, the AJAX technology, POST request, GET request, WebSocket mechanism, and pause / restart mechanism used in this exemplary embodiment are also key features of this system. Compared with traditional web pages that need to reload the entire page to update the content, AJAX applications can only send and retrieve the required data to the server, and exchange a small amount of data with the server in the background, thereby realizing asynchronous update of the web page, which enables the system to respond to page operations quickly. POST requests and GET requests are used to obtain / update server information according to specific functional needs. In this system, in order to improve user experience and meet server computing performance requirements, the Websocket mechanism is used to control the number of experiments to avoid server overload problems caused by high concurrency. The pause mechanism in the example system is used to determine whether to enter the calculation module according to the identifier before the simulation calculation module 400 runs, thereby realizing the pause function. The specific principle of the restart mechanism is to read the saved input file at the initial moment of the system and delete the saved calculation output file, thereby restoring the initial state of the system.

[0056] The simulation experiment management module 400 includes an experiment creation unit 301, an experiment management unit 302, and a system setting unit 303. The following instructions can be issued to the data storage module through the experiment creation unit 301: create an experiment, submit an experiment report, and download an experiment report. The experiment management unit 302 can issue experiment approval and experiment rejection instructions to the data storage module. The system setting unit 303 includes a user management unit, a role management unit, an organization management unit, a resource management unit, etc.

[0057] The fast real-time simulation calculation module 400 is an executable program exe written in C++ language, which is separated from other modules, reduces the technical coupling, and is convenient for system update and maintenance. It can be called by the simulation experiment management module 300 to complete the simulation calculation, and then the output result is transmitted to the data storage module 500 in Json file format. It should be emphasized that in this system, the simulation calculation module is separated from other modules, and data interaction can only be performed with the input and output Json files. This method is a significant feature of the present invention, and its advantages are to reduce the technical coupling, avoid various memory overflows and cross-language type conversion precision loss problems. The module mainly includes physical models and input and output read and write functions corresponding to nuclear power plant systems and equipment. The models mainly include a point pile neutron dynamics model, a three-zone non-equilibrium state regulator model, a steam generator lumped parameter model, and a core and loop thermal hydraulic model.

[0058] The data storage module 500 is used to store all data in the process of the system performing simulation experiments, meeting the requirements of interface parameter display, experimental data export, experimental data caching, etc. This part mainly adopts database technology, including MySQL system library unit 501 (mainly used to store data required by the experiment management module), Redis cache library unit 502 (used to store high-frequency access data and effectively reduce disk I / O), and MongoDB storage library unit 503 (stores a large amount of data generated by the simulation calculation module to improve the response speed of the web page).

[0059] The following will be combined Figure 2 The second technical solution proposed in the present invention, a network-based nuclear power plant transient simulation method, is described in detail.

[0060] Step 1: Rationally divide the systems and components of the simulated nuclear power plant, establish corresponding models according to the target nuclear power plant systems and components, and determine the model structure parameters and operating parameters.

[0061] Step 2: Input the determined model parameters into the simulation system through the web human-computer interaction interface, and then pass them to the fast real-time calculation module through other modules for steady-state calculation. Finally, the interface displays the steady-state simulation calculation results of the nuclear power plant.

[0062] Step 3: Record the end time of the steady-state calculation as "0s", and then perform transient simulation calculation of the nuclear power plant.

[0063] Step 3: Determine whether to suspend the simulation system, input the operating parameters that need to be changed according to the requirements, and perform transient simulation calculations.

[0064] Step 4: Complete the simulation calculation, obtain the experimental results according to the parameter display interface or export the experimental document function, and perform simulation experiment analysis.

[0065] Although the present invention has been described in detail above by general explanation and specific implementation examples, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
