[0045] The following is further explained in detail through specific implementation methods.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a desalination control system for a nuclear power plant. The design of the control system follows the principles of centralized management, decentralized control, and resource sharing, and realizes the functions of collecting process data, equipment operating status, automatically adjusting production data, and controlling the operation of process equipment. The system includes a control layer, a communication layer, and a monitoring layer.

[0047] (1) Control Layer

[0048] The control layer realizes the measurement, monitoring, control and protection of the process and equipment, and is mainly composed of three parts: I / O cards, processor units and control networks. Figure 1 As shown, the control layer of the seawater desalination control system of the nuclear power plant includes DCS cabinet No. 1 (1#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 2 (2#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 3 (3#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 4 (4#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 5 (5#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 6 (6#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 7 (7#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 8 (8#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 9 (9#DCS cabinet), DCS cabinet No. 10 (10#DCS cabinet), relay cabinet No. 1 (1#relay cabinet), relay cabinet No. 2 (2#relay cabinet), relay cabinet No. 3 (3#relay cabinet), and relay cabinet No. 4 (4#relay cabinet).

[0049] DCS cabinet No. 1, DCS cabinet No. 2, DCS cabinet No. 3, DCS cabinet No. 4, DCS cabinet No. 5, relay cabinet No. 1 and relay cabinet No. 2 are used to control the seawater desalination and desalination part (seawater desalination + desalination part 1) and floating water intake facilities; DCS cabinet No. 6 is used to control the chemical water electrical valve well water intake facilities; DCS cabinet No. 7, DCS cabinet No. 8 and relay cabinet No. 3 are used to control the pretreatment part; DCS cabinet No. 9, DCS cabinet No. 10 and relay cabinet No. 4 are used to control the seawater desalination and desalination part (seawater desalination + desalination part 2); the monitoring and control signals of the floating water intake facilities are connected to DCS cabinet No. 2 by communication.

[0050] I / O cards are deployed in each DCS cabinet to collect analog or digital signals from the field, convert these signals for processing by the main controller, or output the signals processed by the main controller to the field through each relay cabinet. For important signals with high availability and reliability requirements, such as regulation loop signals, redundant I / O configuration is adopted, and the input (or output) signals are collected (or output) by different modules. The failure of a single I / O card will not cause disturbances to other devices.

[0051] The K series modules have powerful redundancy functions, which are ensured by redundant configuration of the modules, so that the system can work normally even in the case of a single module failure. Installing two K-AI01 modules in the K-AT21 base can achieve module redundancy. At the same time, when the system loses power, the drive output of the final controlled device can "maintain the original state" or "safe" state.

[0052] The processor unit is deployed in 1#DCS cabinet, 3#DCS cabinet, 4#DCS cabinet, and 8#DCS cabinet. It communicates with I / O devices through the control network to collect field data and send control data. The processor unit communicates with the monitoring layer through the redundant system network (SNETA / B) to upload process data and diagnostic data. This system implements the main-hot standby mode by configuring the K-CU processor. Each pair of processors consists of two processor modules. Each processor module is an independent system, one of which is in working state and the other is in hot standby state. The standby processor module continuously updates the read information.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the working processor module exits operation due to a fault, the standby one automatically starts running without disturbance and manual intervention. The failure, removal, maintenance, etc. of one processor module does not affect the operation of the other one. At the same time, when the system has the power-off protection function turned on, if the main controller suddenly loses power, the project files and some key data that need to be maintained will be automatically saved. After powering on again, the main controller will automatically load the project stored in the controller, and restore the data items set to power-off protection to the state before the power-off.

[0054] The control network (CNET) topology diagram is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the K-BUS module is used to realize redundant communication between process I / O cards and processor units, between the main cabinet and the expansion cabinet, and complete the transmission of real-time input and output data.

[0055] (2) Communication layer

[0056] The system network connects the control layer, monitoring layer and system peripherals to ensure reliable and efficient system communication. Figure 1As shown in the figure, the desalination control system adopts a redundant network configuration. The system network (SNET) is composed of a 100M high-speed redundant network, which connects operator station 1, operator station 2, operator station 3 and the monitoring layer with the control layer to complete the data monitoring of the entire system and respond to various operation requests of the operator. The system network (SNET) adopts a star structure. The desalination and desalination part, the desalination part, and the gate well water intake system are connected to the central node of the desalination control system as sub-nodes, that is, the 24-port switch redundantly arranged in the 0CPE61 cabinet. Among them, the desalination and desalination part (desalination + desalination part2) are arranged in a cabinet room farther away, and are connected to the 24-port switch through the 6 electrical and 2 optical switches in the 0CPE19 cabinet through optical fiber links.

[0057] The seawater desalination control system can also exchange data with the energy station DCS control system through the gateway.

[0058] (3) Monitoring layer

[0059] The monitoring layer collects and displays relevant operating information, and the operating personnel monitor and control the operating conditions of the unit based on it. All operations of the operating personnel on the operator station are performed through the keyboard and mouse, and the sequential control of each subsystem of the seawater desalination can be achieved through the DCS system.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the entire production process and process can be monitored, managed and controlled through the three operator stations in the control room, and the automatic control and production management of the seawater desalination system can be completed. The three operator stations are backup for each other, ensuring that when one of them fails, the other can operate completely independently, thereby ensuring high reliability of control and data acquisition. The DCS can be configured, monitored, and programs read and downloaded through the control room engineer station.

[0061] The task of the operator station is to collect and display relevant operating information on the standard screen and user configuration screen, so that the operator can monitor and control the operating conditions of the unit. All operations of the operator on the operator station are performed through the keyboard and mouse. Each operator station is a station on the redundant communication bus, and each operator station has an independent redundant communication processing module, which is connected to the redundant communication bus SNET-A and SNET-B respectively.

[0062] The engineer station is mainly used for program development, system diagnosis, control system configuration, database and screen editing and modification. At the same time, through the communication bus, the system configuration information and related data of any distributed processing unit in the system can be called up, and the engineer can also download the configuration data from the engineer station to each distributed processing unit and operator station.

[0063] The history station can save all historical operation and fault record data for at least 1 year.

[0064] Through the design of the above three parts, the seawater desalination control system of the nuclear power plant mainly realizes the following functions:

[0065] 1) Process monitoring, control functions (including manual operation, automatic logic control and regulation control, etc.) and operation management;

[0066] 2) Provide computerized operation guidance and support to operators;

[0067] 3) Data communication;

[0068] 4) Alarm display and processing;

[0069] 5) Forms and checklists;

[0070] 6) Display and printing of variables: including variable monitoring, trend, data list, historical data display, alarm, log monitoring and display, and corresponding printing functions;

[0071] 7) Operation management;

[0072] 8) Data recording and archiving, etc.

[0073] Desalination projects involve thousands of process variables. The following measures are taken to ensure the availability, reliability and rapid response of the desalination control system in nuclear power plants:

[0074] Through fully redundant hot standby configuration of CPU modules, communication modules, power supplies, data communication networks, etc., the availability of the nuclear power plant's seawater desalination control system is guaranteed to be no less than 99.9%; when the system CPU is running at maximum load, the load rate does not exceed 60%, and the average load rate does not exceed 40%; the average load rate of the operator station and server unit does not exceed 40%.

[0075] By reducing the time of processor unit data call and optimizing the installation position of I / O cards, the data communication load of the communication network is ensured to be less than 40% on average for token ring and less than 20% on average for Ethernet under the busiest conditions.

[0076] The seawater desalination control system of a nuclear power plant also includes an ultrafiltration subsystem, a primary reverse osmosis subsystem, and a secondary reverse osmosis subsystem.

[0077] (1) Ultrafiltration subsystem

[0078] The ultrafiltration subsystem includes the connected ultrafiltration water pump, self-cleaning filter, ultrafiltration device, and ultrafiltration water tank. The ultrafiltration device system is divided into 3 groups. A self-cleaning filter is set before entering the ultrafiltration device. Its main function is to filter impurities in the water and protect the ultrafiltration membrane from damage. The ultrafiltration device system is equipped with 4 self-cleaning filters, 3 for use and 1 for backup, which can also be used at the same time.

[0079] The ultrafiltration device is used to remove suspended matter, colloids, etc. in water. Each group of 5 ultrafiltration devices operates in parallel, and the 3 groups of ultrafiltration device systems operate in parallel as units, with a total of 15 ultrafiltration devices.

[0080] Two ultrafiltration water tanks are set behind the ultrafiltration device to store ultrafiltration product water. The ultrafiltration product water supplies the reverse osmosis system with water.

[0081] Ultrafiltration device operation description: The operation of the ultrafiltration device is automatically controlled by the front and rear pressure difference or the turbidity of the water outlet, and participates in the operation control of the reverse osmosis device. The water output of the ultrafiltration device is slightly greater than the water intake of the first-stage reverse osmosis device. The two are regulated by the ultrafiltration water tank and the ultrafiltration water tank liquid level will not drop gradually.

[0082] The operation of the ultrafiltration device is directly related to the liquid level in the ultrafiltration water tank and the output of the ultrafiltration water inlet pump. When the operating conditions of the various components of the system drift due to temperature and other reasons, the ultrafiltration water production and the first-stage reverse osmosis water inlet may not match, and the liquid level in the ultrafiltration water tank may continue to decrease. At this time, the ultrafiltration water feed pump automatically increases its output through frequency conversion to increase the water production of the ultrafiltration device until the pump is stopped when the ultrafiltration water tank is at a high liquid level or frequency conversion is used to maintain the liquid level when the liquid level is high.

[0083] When the ultrafiltration tank has a low liquid level, 13 sets of ultrafiltration devices are put into operation; if the ultrafiltration tank liquid level continues to decrease, 15 sets of ultrafiltration devices are started in sequence until all are put into operation; if the liquid level does not rise at this time, the ultrafiltration water inlet pump is frequency-controlled to quickly increase the ultrafiltration tank liquid level, otherwise the subsequent equipment may be shut down. When the liquid level reaches the ultrafiltration tank high level, the ultrafiltration devices are shut down one by one according to the procedure.

[0084] (2) Primary reverse osmosis subsystem

[0085] The water produced by the primary reverse osmosis subsystem must meet the water quality and quantity requirements of the secondary reverse osmosis system source water, and mainly includes the connected primary reverse osmosis water pump, primary reverse osmosis safety filter, primary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump, primary reverse osmosis device, and primary fresh water tank.

[0086] There are 6 first-stage reverse osmosis water pumps in total, 5 in use and 1 as a spare.

[0087] The function of the primary reverse osmosis security filter is to intercept particles larger than 5μm in the effluent of the pretreatment system and prevent them from entering the primary reverse osmosis system. There are 5 primary reverse osmosis security filters, corresponding to 5 sets of primary reverse osmosis devices.

[0088] The function of the first-stage reverse osmosis high-pressure pump is to provide sufficient water inlet pressure for the first-stage reverse osmosis device. There are 5 first-stage reverse osmosis high-pressure pumps, corresponding to 5 sets of first-stage reverse osmosis devices respectively.

[0089] The primary reverse osmosis device is a unit system and operates in parallel, with a total of 5 sets. Two primary fresh water tanks are installed behind the primary reverse osmosis device to store the product water of the primary reverse osmosis device and provide water for the secondary reverse osmosis device.

[0090] Operation description of the primary reverse osmosis device: The primary reverse osmosis device is a unit system and is operated in parallel, with a total of 5 sets. During normal operation, the operation of the primary reverse osmosis device is put into operation one by one according to the liquid level of the primary fresh water tank (2 seats) and the start and stop of the secondary reverse osmosis device. When the liquid level of the primary fresh water tank is low, all the primary reverse osmosis devices are put into operation. When the liquid level of the primary fresh water tank is high, the primary reverse osmosis devices are shut down one by one. The number of primary reverse osmosis devices in operation is matched with the water consumption of the secondary reverse osmosis device through the primary fresh water tank.

[0091] When the liquid level of the primary fresh water tank drops to the set value, if the secondary reverse osmosis device is in operation, the primary reverse osmosis water feed pump and the primary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump are started one by one, and one set of the primary reverse osmosis device is put into operation. If the liquid level of the primary fresh water tank continues to drop, the primary reverse osmosis water feed pump, the primary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump, and the primary reverse osmosis device should be put into operation one by one. If the liquid level of the primary fresh water tank continues to drop, the primary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump should automatically increase the output through frequency conversion to increase the water output of the reverse osmosis device until the primary fresh water tank reaches a high liquid level and the pump is stopped or the high liquid level is maintained by frequency conversion.

[0092] When the first-stage reverse osmosis device is operating normally, it is not necessary to put all of them into operation. The first-stage reverse osmosis device automatically rotates and operates according to the set program, and the operating time of each first-stage reverse osmosis device is roughly equal.

[0093] The water produced by the primary reverse osmosis system must meet the water quality and quantity requirements of the secondary reverse osmosis system and the raw water of the plant users. The primary reverse osmosis devices are operated in parallel. The operator can selectively arrange the number of reverse osmosis devices in operation according to the actual water consumption or the equipment conditions of the reverse osmosis devices.

[0094] A high-pressure pump is installed in front of the first-stage reverse osmosis device. The high-pressure pump adopts frequency conversion control. Pressure switches are installed at the inlet and outlet of the high-pressure pump. When the pump inlet pressure is low or the outlet pressure is too high, an alarm will be issued and the pump will be stopped.

[0095] The first-stage reverse osmosis device is program-controlled and automatically monitored by DCS, and is equipped with automatic start, automatic flushing when starting and stopping.

[0096] The primary fresh water tank is part of the reverse osmosis system and participates in the overall automatic control and operation of the reverse osmosis system.

[0097] (3) Secondary reverse osmosis subsystem

[0098] The water produced by the secondary reverse osmosis subsystem is mainly used as the raw water of the desalted water treatment system, and mainly includes a secondary reverse osmosis feed water pump, a secondary reverse osmosis safety filter, a secondary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump, a secondary reverse osmosis device, and a secondary fresh water tank.

[0099] There are 4 secondary reverse osmosis water pumps in total, 3 in use and 1 as a backup, corresponding to 4 sets of secondary reverse osmosis devices respectively.

[0100] The function of the secondary reverse osmosis security filter is to intercept particles larger than 5μm in the effluent of the primary reverse osmosis system and prevent them from entering the secondary reverse osmosis system. There are 4 secondary reverse osmosis security filters, corresponding to 4 sets of secondary reverse osmosis devices.

[0101] The function of the secondary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump is to provide sufficient water inlet pressure for the secondary reverse osmosis device. There are 4 secondary reverse osmosis high-pressure pumps, corresponding to 4 sets of secondary reverse osmosis devices respectively.

[0102] The secondary reverse osmosis device is a unit system operating in parallel, with a total of 4 sets, 3 in use and 1 as a backup.

[0103] Operation description of secondary reverse osmosis device: The secondary reverse osmosis device is a unit system with parallel operation, with 4 sets in total, 3 in use and 1 as a standby. Under normal circumstances, 3 sets are in operation, and the number of operating sets can be reduced when the water consumption of the desalted water treatment system is reduced.

[0104] The operation of the secondary reverse osmosis device is also interlocked with the liquid level of the secondary fresh water tank (2 sets). When the liquid level is low, 3 sets are put into operation, and when the liquid level reaches the high level of the secondary fresh water tank, each set is shut down one by one.

[0105] When the liquid level in the secondary fresh water tank drops to the set value, three sets of secondary reverse osmosis feed water pump, secondary reverse osmosis high pressure pump and secondary reverse osmosis device are put into operation. If the liquid level in the secondary fresh water tank continues to drop, the secondary reverse osmosis feed water pump and secondary reverse osmosis high pressure pump will automatically increase the output through frequency conversion to increase the reverse osmosis water production and reach the set output until the secondary fresh water tank reaches a high liquid level and adjusts the frequency conversion or shuts down.

[0106] When the temperature drops and the water production of the secondary reverse osmosis device decreases, the secondary reverse osmosis water pump and the secondary reverse osmosis high-pressure pump use frequency conversion regulation to maintain a constant set water production of the secondary reverse osmosis membrane assembly.

[0107] This system is equipped with one set of standby trains, and the secondary reverse osmosis devices are automatically rotated according to the set program, so that the operating time of each set of secondary reverse osmosis devices is roughly equal.

[0108] The two-stage reverse osmosis devices are operated in parallel. The operator can selectively arrange the number of reverse osmosis devices to be operated according to the actual water consumption or the equipment conditions of the reverse osmosis devices. The state of the reverse osmosis devices can also be switched during the operation of the reverse osmosis devices.

[0109] A high-pressure pump is installed in front of the secondary reverse osmosis device. The high-pressure pump adopts frequency conversion control. Pressure switches are installed at the inlet and outlet of the high-pressure pump. When the pump inlet pressure is low or the outlet pressure is too high, an alarm will be issued and the pump will be stopped.

[0110] The secondary reverse osmosis device is program controlled and automatically monitored by DCS, and is equipped with automatic start, automatic flushing when starting and stopping.

[0111] In addition, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on the above nuclear power plant seawater desalination control system, the present application also provides a nuclear power plant seawater desalination control method, the main process flow includes ultrafiltration, primary reverse osmosis, and secondary reverse osmosis. The method specifically includes the following steps:
