[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The ability of the electrical system to recover after a severe disturbance is very important for the reliable and safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Transient stability analysis should be used to prove that the nuclear power plant can withstand the disturbance of the power grid and maintain the connection with the power grid without causing the generator to lose synchronization with the power grid. Therefore, in the design of nuclear power plants, it is very necessary to analyze the dynamic response of the nuclear power plant electrical system and the steady-state limit when the system changes or disturbances and before and after the changes.

[0004] When a nuclear power plant is operating normally, the high-voltage plant transformer carries the working busbar, the standby transformer is in standby state, and the working section and the standby section have clear division of labor; when a plant transformer, generator or high-voltage side of the main step-up transformer fails, the circuit breaker on the low-voltage side of the high-voltage plant transformer should be cut off, and the circuit breaker on the low-voltage side of the standby transformer should be closed, that is, the working section is put into the standby transformer side to realize the power switching process of the nuclear power plant. During the above system switching process, failures such as shutdown of the reactor, equipment damage, and long power outages causing the production line to be scrapped may occur. Therefore, it is very important for the normal operation of the nuclear power plant to verify whether the electrical system of the nuclear power plant can withstand certain disturbances and ensure system stability during the switching process.

[0025] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms used herein are for describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting of exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.

[0027] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0028] In view of the fact that the equipment is greatly impacted and the system fluctuates greatly during the power supply switching process of the existing nuclear power plant, the present invention proposes a method and system for evaluating whether the switching process meets the transient stability requirements, which can quantitatively judge the changes in the electrical quantities of the system after simulation, effectively improve the accuracy and practicality of the evaluation results, and realize the prediction of the power supply switching situation of the nuclear power plant. The following will be described in detail in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] Embodiment 1 This embodiment discloses a transient stability assessment method for a nuclear power plant electrical system; like Figure 1 As shown, a transient stability assessment method for an electrical system of a nuclear power plant comprises: Step S1, constructing a nuclear power plant AC power system model according to the single-line diagram of the nuclear power plant electrical system.

[0030] In one or more embodiments, the simulation software takes ETAP software model building as an example (other software with model simulation calculation functions may also be used), and building a nuclear power plant AC power system model includes: Input the single-line diagram of the nuclear power plant electrical system into the ETAP software, use the ETAP software to simulate the connection relationship of each electrical equipment in the single-line diagram, complete the information of each electrical equipment, fill in the corresponding component number, name, power and other parameters; thereby constructing the nuclear power plant AC power system model.

[0031] Step S2, select representative nuclear power plant operating conditions as simulation conditions, such as design load operating conditions, light load operating conditions, heavy load operating conditions, etc.; take the design load operating conditions as an example, set the corresponding load loading conditions and system parameters according to the operating conditions, wherein for the load loading conditions, consider the characteristics of the current operating conditions, select the corresponding load to be put into operation, so as to achieve the effect of matching the actual operating conditions. The load loading conditions are: 500kV power grid supplies power to the plant operating load, the plant standby generator is offline, the prospect load is offline, the auxiliary boiler is out of operation, and the load center contact switch is turned on; the system parameters mainly include 500kV power grid parameters, 220kV power grid parameters, transformer parameters, transformer tap positions, etc., which are set according to the characteristics of the current nuclear power plant site.

[0032] Step S3, using the nuclear power plant AC power system model to simulate the power plant operating conditions, and record the electrical quantities in the power switching simulation process under each operating condition. The electrical quantities include: the maximum impact current of each medium voltage motor; the maximum impact current of the medium voltage bus incoming line circuit breaker; the phase angle value of the medium voltage motor at the switching moment; the terminal voltage value of the medium voltage motor at the switching moment; the slip rate of the medium voltage motor at the switching moment; and the grid parameters (grid voltage and phase angle difference) at the switching moment.

[0033] Step S4, performing transient stability assessment based on the electrical quantity, and calculating whether the assessment conditions under each working condition meet the requirements. The assessment conditions include: (1) When the incoming circuit breaker is closed, the ratio of the motor composite voltage to the frequency is not greater than 133%. The calculation method of the motor composite voltage is as follows: ; Where: Indicates the composite voltage of the motor; Indicates the equivalent voltage of the system; Indicates the equivalent voltage at the motor terminals; Indicates the phase angle difference between the system voltage and the motor voltage.

[0034] (2) The motor’s inrush current is not greater than the motor’s stall current; (3) The impact current of the medium-voltage busbar incoming circuit breaker shall not exceed 1.2×(total calculated current value - calculated current value of the largest motor + starting current value of the largest motor).

[0035] In addition, in this embodiment, if any operating condition does not meet the transient stability assessment conditions, it is necessary to adjust the system architecture or parameters and repeat the process from step S1 to step S4 until all operating conditions meet the transient stability assessment conditions. Then, it can be considered that the system meets the transient stability requirements during the voltage switching process.

[0036] In order to verify the effect of the method provided in this embodiment, a domestic nuclear power plant A is taken as an example, the primary voltage of the plant transformer is 500kV, and the primary voltage of the standby transformer is 220kV. When the nuclear power plant is operating normally, the high-voltage plant transformer carries the working busbar, and the standby transformer is in standby state, and the working section and the standby section have clear division of labor; when the plant transformer, generator or main step-up transformer high-voltage side fails, the circuit breaker on the low-voltage side of the high-voltage plant transformer should be cut off, and the circuit breaker on the low-voltage side of the standby transformer should be closed, that is, the working section is put into the standby transformer side, and the system architecture is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0037] In each working condition, the circuit breaker status changes when the system switches from the main transformer to the standby transformer are set to simulate the system voltage switching. Taking one of the working conditions as an example, assuming that the system power supply is switched due to a plant transformer failure, the changes in the circuit breakers in the system are mainly as follows: At 0s, a three-phase fault occurs on the secondary busbar UAT-2A-X of the plant transformer ZAS-ET-2A. At 98.3ms, the medium-voltage circuit breakers of the 10.5kV medium-voltage busbars ES-1 to ES-6 are opened, and the three-phase fault is cleared at the same time. The power supply is quickly switched from the 500kV system to the 220kV system. After 5ms, the circuit breakers of each medium-voltage busbar connected to the RAT transformer are closed, and the quick switching is completed (the setting of the switching time is determined according to the specific conditions of each nuclear power plant and is only for reference); Record the following electrical quantities during the power switching simulation of each operating condition, and calculate whether the following three evaluation conditions meet the requirements under each operating condition. According to the actual situation of nuclear power plant A in the case and the dimension of the data read after simulation, the above formula is processed, and the calculation formula after processing is as follows: ; Nuclear Power Plant A uses the above formula to verify the simulation results of the medium voltage motor, and extracts the verification results of some motors. The verification results are as follows: Table 1 Nuclear power plant part A medium voltage motor composite voltage calibration table

[0038] (2) The motor impact current is not greater than the motor's locked-rotor current. Taking domestic nuclear power plant A as an example, the specific judgment conditions are as follows: Table 2 Inrush current limits for medium voltage motors

[0039] (3) The impact current of the medium voltage busbar incoming circuit breaker is not greater than 1.2×(total calculated current value - calculated current value of the largest motor + starting current value of the largest motor). Taking domestic nuclear power plant A as an example, the specific judgment conditions are as follows: Table 3 Inrush current limit of medium voltage busbar incoming circuit breaker
