Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear power plant instrumentation and control system commissioning, specifically relating to a reactor control and protection system simulation commissioning device and method. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial component of DCS application configuration design, the reactor control system's functional design and adaptability directly impact the safe operation and availability of nuclear power units. Due to the unique safety requirements of nuclear power plants, the closed-loop response, parameter optimization, and various major transient tests of the reactor control system (RRC) during the initial commissioning and power-up phase after criticality have always been technical challenges for the joint commissioning and startup of nuclear power plants both domestically and internationally. These are also the commissioning activities most prone to unexpected shutdowns and reactor stoppages.
[0003] Traditional commissioning methods prevent commissioning personnel from assessing the dynamic characteristics of the control system during associated operation, increasing the complexity of on-site commissioning. Traditional nuclear power plant commissioning and startup techniques require that pure logic testing or dynamic verification be conducted only after primary instrumentation is installed, control cables are terminated, and the unit has established steady-state or transient operating conditions with the working fluid. Directly activating equipment or testing under actual operating conditions increases the risk of equipment malfunction or unit operation events (unexpected shutdowns or activation of dedicated safety facilities) due to various potential hardware / software configuration design or thermal / hydraulic problems, posing significant risks to nuclear power plant commissioning and startup. Furthermore, the dynamic characteristics of the control system using traditional commissioning methods rely entirely on the actual power operation after fuel loading. Considering nuclear safety and grid operation, the window for testing operating condition disturbances and large transient operating condition responses after fuel loading is very limited. If the test results are barely acceptable, there is little opportunity for further testing and parameter optimization. A set of parameters that barely meets commissioning acceptance criteria may leave safety hazards for subsequent unit operation.
[0004] The commissioning phase of a nuclear power plant is an extremely important stage in the construction process. There is an urgent need to develop DCS simulation commissioning devices and methods to effectively improve the safety and quality of commissioning. Summary of the Invention

It can not only detect hidden defects in advance, reduce the probability of equipment damage or operational events, and improve the level of commissioning safety and quality, but also effectively shorten the fault handling time and thus shorten the commissioning start-up period, which is crucial to the entire commissioning work.
[0017] 2.

During the DCS commissioning phase, once the DCS cabinet is installed at the unit site, the I / O interface device can connect the DCS cabinet and the simulation model system to form a control closed loop. When the unit's process equipment is not yet ready for operation, the simulation model system can replace the unit's process equipment to pre-commission the reactor control and protection system, identifying and correcting control logic configuration errors and parameter setting errors. The process system and equipment simulation models in the simulation model system can replace the unit's on-site process equipment, forming a control closed loop with the DCS cabinet. The virtual-physical DCS control signal switching interface switches the control signals from the virtual controller in the simulation model system to the DCS cabinet for reactor control and protection system commissioning, identifying and correcting control logic configuration errors and parameter setting errors during the commissioning process.

[0031] The IO interface device types include various IO cards that communicate with the DCS cabinet. For example, AO, DO, AI, and DI type cards.
[0032] The human-machine interaction test module is connected to the virtual DCS controller simulation model. The process system and equipment simulation models are connected to the virtual DCS controller simulation model through a virtual-real DCS control signal switching interface. The human-machine interaction test module transmits action commands to the virtual DCS controller simulation model.

The human-machine interaction test module monitors the operation status parameters.
[0033] The process system and equipment simulation model and the IO interface device are connected via a virtual-physical DCS control signal switching interface. The DCS cabinet to be debugged is connected to the IO interface device. The DCS operator station transmits action commands to the DCS cabinet to be debugged. The DCS cabinet to be debugged processes and analyzes the action commands, generates control commands, and transmits the control commands to the process system and equipment simulation model. The process system and equipment simulation model performs corresponding simulation calculations according to the control commands and generates simulation calculation results. The simulation calculation results are fed back to the DCS cabinet to be debugged. The DCS cabinet to be debugged generates operation status parameters according to the operation calculation results and transmits the operation status parameters to the DCS operator station. The DCS operator station monitors the operation status parameters.
[0034] The present invention provides a simulation and debugging method for a reactor control and protection system, which specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Establish connections between various modules in the simulation model system. The process system and equipment simulation model is connected to the virtual DCS controller simulation model through a virtual-real DCS control signal switching interface program, so as to realize the communication between the IO points in the virtual DCS controller simulation model and the process system and equipment simulation model.
[0035] Specifically, the AI, AO, DI, and DO points in the virtual DCS controller simulation model communicate with the corresponding interface points in the process system and equipment simulation models through communication interface software.
[0036] The virtual DCS controller simulation model is connected to the human-computer interaction test module through a communication interface program, so that the human-computer interaction test module can input commands and monitor the status parameters of the virtual DCS controller simulation model. Specifically, the output point of the virtual DCS controller simulation model to the human-computer interaction test module is connected to the corresponding point of the human-computer interaction test module through a communication interface program, and the output point of the human-computer interaction test module to the virtual DCS controller simulation model is connected to the corresponding point of the virtual DCS controller simulation model through a communication interface program.
[0037] Step 2: Establish the connection between the simulation model system and the I / O interface device. The simulation model system and the IO interface device are connected through a virtual-to-real DCS control signal switching interface.
[0038] Specifically, the IO interface device connects the configured IO points, such as AI, AO, DI, and DO points, on the IO interface device to the virtual and real DCS control signal switching interface via network communication. The IO points of the IO interface device establish communication connections with the corresponding interface points in the process system and equipment simulation model through the virtual and real DCS control signal switching interface.
[0039] The virtual-physical DCS control signal switching interface has a communication interface switching function. It can connect the IO points of the IO interface device to the process system and equipment simulation model as needed, or it can switch the communication interface to connect the IO points of the virtual DCS controller simulation model to the process system and equipment simulation model. This enables the switching of control signals between the physical DCS cabinet and the virtual DCS controller simulation model for a specific device in the process system and equipment simulation model. Figure 2 As shown.
[0040] Step 3: Establish the connection between the IO interface device and the DCS cabinet. Specifically, the IO interface device is connected to the DCS cabinet via hardwiring. The IO card terminals on the IO interface device are connected to the IO card terminals on the DCS cabinet via hardwiring, thereby enabling communication of IO signals between the IO interface device and the DCS cabinet.
[0041] Step 4: Perform DCS cabinet simulation debugging Select a DCS cabinet to be debugged and perform DCS cabinet simulation debugging according to the DCS debugging procedure.
[0042] Step 4.1: Based on the actual commissioning requirements, reset the process system and equipment simulation model to the required operating state, simulate the operation of the unit's process system and equipment, obtain dynamic process and equipment operating parameters, and ensure that the operating parameters provided to the DCS cabinet are consistent with the actual commissioning scenario. Step 4.2: Switch the virtual-real DCS control signal switching interface to connect with the DCS cabinet to be debugged. Through the virtual-real DCS control signal switching interface, connect the process system and equipment simulation model with the IO interface device, and connect the IO points of the DCS cabinet to be debugged with the IO interface device. This enables the process system and equipment simulation model to communicate with the DCS cabinet to be debugged. The control logic functions of the remaining un-debugged DCS cabinets are implemented by the virtual DCS controller simulation model. Step 4.3: The DCS operator station generates action commands based on actual commissioning requirements and transmits these commands to the DCS cabinet to be commissioned. The DCS cabinet processes and analyzes the action commands, generates control commands, and transmits these control commands to the process system and equipment simulation model. The process system and equipment simulation model performs corresponding simulation calculations based on the control commands and generates simulation results, which are then fed back to the DCS cabinet to be commissioned. The DCS cabinet generates operation status parameters based on the simulation results and transmits these parameters to the DCS operator station. The DCS operator station monitors and displays the operation status parameters. If the operation status parameters are inconsistent with the control commands, it indicates a problem with the control logic related to those commands, and targeted troubleshooting can be performed.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, for example, when performing a valve opening operation, the DCS operator station generates a valve opening action command. This command is processed and analyzed by the DCS cabinet under test, generating a valve opening control command, which is then transmitted to the process system and equipment simulation model. Upon receiving the valve opening control command, the process system and equipment simulation model open the corresponding valve and feed back the valve opening status to the DCS cabinet under test. The DCS cabinet generates valve opening status parameters based on the feedback and transmits them to the DCS operator station. The DCS operator station monitors and observes the valve opening status parameters. If the valve is not observed to be open at the DCS operator station, it indicates a problem with the valve's control logic, allowing for targeted troubleshooting.
[0044] Step 5: Perform offline debugging of the DCS control logic without connecting to the DCS cabinet. Step 5.1: Download the control logic configuration files of the reactor control system and reactor protection system into the virtual DCS controller simulation model.
[0045] Step 5.2: Switch the virtual-real DCS control signal switching interface to connect with the virtual DCS controller simulation model. Through the virtual-real DCS control signal switching interface, connect the virtual DCS controller simulation model with the process system and equipment simulation model to communicate, so that the process system and equipment simulation model can be connected with the control logic of the reactor control system and reactor protection system to be debugged running in the virtual DCS controller simulation model.
[0046] Step 5.3: The human-machine interaction test module generates action commands based on actual debugging requirements and transmits these commands to the virtual DCS controller simulation model. The virtual DCS controller simulation model processes and analyzes the action commands, generates control commands, and transmits these control commands to the process system and equipment simulation models. The process system and equipment simulation models perform corresponding simulation calculations based on the control commands and generate simulation results, which are then fed back to the virtual DCS controller simulation model. The virtual DCS controller simulation model generates operation status parameters based on the simulation results and transmits these parameters to the human-machine interaction test module. The human-machine interaction test module monitors and displays the operation status parameters. If the operation status parameters are inconsistent with the control commands, it indicates a problem with the control logic related to those commands, and targeted troubleshooting can be performed.
[0047] In one specific embodiment, for example, when performing a valve opening operation, the human-machine interaction test module generates a valve opening action command. This command is processed and analyzed by the virtual DCS controller simulation model to generate a valve opening control command, which is then transmitted to the process system and equipment simulation model. Upon receiving the valve opening control command, the process system and equipment simulation model opens the corresponding valve and feeds back the valve opening status to the virtual DCS controller simulation model. The virtual DCS controller simulation model generates valve opening status parameters based on the feedback and transmits them to the human-machine interaction test module. The human-machine interaction test module monitors and observes the valve opening status parameters. If the valve is not observed to be open in the human-machine interaction test module, it indicates a problem with the valve's control logic, and targeted troubleshooting can be performed.

The human-machine interaction test module monitors the operation status parameters. If the operation status parameters are inconsistent with the control commands, it indicates a problem with the control logic related to the control commands, and targeted troubleshooting is performed.
