Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intensive design of nuclear island cold chain related system groups, and particularly to an intensive design method for nuclear island cold chain system groups based on an optimization algorithm. Background Art

[0002] The cold chain system refers to a series of systems that export the heat generated by reactors and equipment not used for power generation to the atmosphere or seawater under normal operation and accident conditions of nuclear power plants, mainly including ventilation systems, chilled water systems, equipment cooling water systems, and important service water systems, etc. The capacity design of these cold chain systems plays a crucial role in the safety and economy of power plants.

[0003] Due to the large scale of the current cold chain system design and the numerous specialties and systems involved, there are many factors to be considered during the design process. To ensure sufficient design capacity, the margins of systems and equipment need to be considered overall and iterative calculations need to be carried out repeatedly in actual design. At the same time, the cold chain systems of general nuclear power plants mainly rely on the design experience of designers during design, and the design and selection parameters of equipment are selected based on extreme operating conditions of the maximum envelope. The overall design margin of the system is large, and some equipment operates under conditions with a load lower than 30% of the design load for a long time during actual operation. Therefore, although the design of the cold chain system of the nuclear power plant meets the requirements of performance and safety, it does not form an optimal design plan that takes all factors into consideration, increases the construction cost and operation and maintenance costs of the nuclear power plant, weakens the economy of the nuclear power plant, and also affects the safe operation of equipment.
