Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of reactor operation and safety, and in particular to a method for calculating weighted power of a nuclear power plant reactor. Background Art

[0002] Reactor power is an important parameter for the operation control and monitoring of nuclear power units. It represents the heat generated by the nuclear power plant reactor per unit time and is often used for reactor status monitoring, operation control, shutdown protection, and efficiency calculation. According to different measurement methods, the common nuclear power plant reactor power is divided into the power measured by the external nuclear measurement system (hereinafter referred to as N NFME Power), power measured by the core measurement system (hereinafter referred to as N SPND Power), power calculated by primary circuit parameters (hereinafter referred to as N 1C Power), power calculated by the secondary circuit parameters (hereinafter referred to as N 2C Power), etc. The reactor powers obtained by the above-mentioned different measurement methods can be used for nuclear power plant operation control and monitoring. However, due to the different measurement methods, there are certain deviations between various reactor powers, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of response speed, accuracy and reliability. Monitoring personnel often need to conduct certain analysis before they can determine a more accurate reactor power. At the same time, due to the failure of some instruments, the reactor power measured by a certain measurement method may also have a certain deviation, affecting the judgment and control of the monitoring personnel. Considering the importance of reactor power to the operation control and monitoring of nuclear power plants, it is crucial to the safe operation of nuclear power plants to be able to monitor reactor power in a timely, reliable and accurate manner. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to further understand the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples, but it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention.

[0049] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for calculating weighted power of a nuclear power plant reactor, comprising the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: Check the reactor power measurement methods of the nuclear power unit and classify them into directly measured reactor power and indirectly measured reactor power;

[0051] Step 2: Find out the error of the directly measured reactor power and calculate the error of the indirectly measured reactor power;

[0052] Step 3: Calculate the weight coefficient of each power through the errors of various measured reactor powers obtained in step 1;

[0053] Step 4: Consider the weight coefficient of each reactor power measurement value and sum them up to obtain the reactor weighted power.

[0054] The present invention is based on a domestic VVER-1000 pressurized water reactor nuclear power unit, and the weighted power calculation method is applicable to other nuclear power units with multiple reactor power measurement methods.

[0055] In order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation of the reactor weighted power, it is important to accurately calculate the weight coefficient of each measured power. Since the most important characteristics of the reactor power of a nuclear power plant need to have high accuracy and reliability, the calculation of the weight coefficient in the present invention is based on the uncertainty of the power measurement of each power (i.e., the measurement error). The power with a large measurement error should account for a lower proportion in the weighted power. On the contrary, the power with a small measurement error should account for a larger proportion in the weighted power. Only in this way can the reliability and accuracy of the reactor weighted power be guaranteed. Taking a domestic VVER-1000 pressurized water reactor nuclear power unit as an example, it has N NFME Power, N SPND Power, N 1C Power, N 2C The four types of reactor power can be measured accurately by giving the errors of the above measured powers, and then the weight coefficient of each power can be calculated.

[0056] Reactor power monitoring can be divided into two categories: one is direct measurement, such as N NFME Power, N SPND Power, which is obtained by measurement and conversion by a dedicated instrument or system; the other is an indirect measurement value, such as N 1C Power, N 2C Power is calculated based on the measurement values ​​of multiple special instruments through a certain calculation formula or method. For direct measurement values, manufacturers generally provide the measurement error of the relevant instrument or system when supplying, that is, the error of the direct measurement value; but for indirect measurement values, manufacturers only provide the error of the basic value of the measurement of the relevant special instrument when supplying. In order to obtain the error of the indirect measurement value, it is necessary to calculate it through the error transfer formula in the mathematical method. The error transfer formula is:

[0057] For any addition and subtraction formula: X = U ± V, where the error of the value X is Δx, the error of the value U is Δu, and the error of the value V is Δv, there is the following relationship:

[0058] Δx 2 =Δu 2 +Δv 2

[0059] For any multiplication formula: X = U·V, where the error Δx of the value X, the error Δu of the value U, and the error Δv of the value V, there is the following relationship:

[0060] (Δx / X) 2 =(Δu / U) 2 +(Δv / V) 2 .
