Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of nuclear power plant commissioning and operation and maintenance, and in particular relates to a method for analyzing power supply failure of a sodium-cooled fast reactor DCS. Background Art
[0002] The DCS (Distributed Control System), the nerve center of a nuclear power plant, controls and monitors all critical equipment. A power failure in the DCS cabinet can lead to uncontrollable equipment or malfunctions, seriously impacting the unit's status. When a DCS cabinet loses power, maintenance personnel must urgently address the power failure and analyze its impact, including which equipment has lost control or malfunctioned, and which interlocking devices have been triggered.

When a cabinet loses power, they determine the state of the controlled devices, whether they will remain operational or shut down due to a fault, the consequences of a device shutdown, and the necessary measures. This time-consuming power outage analysis seriously impacts the timely handling of power outage issues. Summary of the Invention

[0110] b. Content modification function: add, delete, modify.
[0111] Example 2
[0112] This embodiment demonstrates the failure analysis function of a nuclear power unit.
[0113] The instrumentation and control personnel prepare a power failure analysis table, including the power supply bus, switch cabinet, switch cabinet circuit breaker, DCS power supply cabinet, power supply cabinet switch, control cabinet (relay cabinet), 220V circuit breaker, 48V / 24V circuit breaker, control equipment, and solutions.
[0114] The power failure analysis table is extracted into three tables using Excel formulas:
[0115] (1) Node table
[0116] The node table is a table that makes each column of data in the power failure analysis table into a separate table, which is used as the basic unit of the power failure analysis diagram. Figure 2 shown.
[0117] (2) Relationship table
[0118] The relationship table is used to connect the nodes in the node table in series, and also to connect the basic units of the power failure analysis diagram, which can realize the tree diagram function, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0119] (3) Response measures table
[0120] The countermeasures table lists the treatment methods for each device when power is lost, as the countermeasures for the device power outage, such as Figure 4 shown.
[0121] The administrator can import the power outage analysis table, including the node table, relationship table, and response table. After successful import, the power outage analysis table is generated. The search bar can be used to search for each node and each device for quick location, which is simple and easy to operate.
[0122] The present invention can implement the basic method of DCS power outage analysis. By identifying each power supply node and the final affected equipment and listing the power outage treatment measures, when a power outage event occurs, the impact of the power outage node on the equipment and the treatment method can be quickly located, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of handling power outage events.
[0123] The present invention can carry out power failure analysis in advance for nuclear power units under construction, facilitating the handling of power failure events.
[0124] The present invention can quickly analyze and handle power outage events for in-service nuclear power units. Before busbar maintenance work is carried out, the affected area can be analyzed in advance and repowering measures or isolation measures can be prepared.
[0125] The present invention uses the power failure analysis table as the basis. The instrumentation and control personnel compile a node table, a relationship table, and a response measure table, which are imported into the power failure analysis module by the management personnel to generate a tree display diagram. The equipment under each power supply node, the impact of equipment power failure, and the equipment power failure treatment method can be viewed by searching.
[0126] The above description is only a specific implementation method of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
