Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of foreign object detection in nuclear power plants, and more specifically, to an automatic foreign object source detection system and method for the primary loop of a nuclear power plant. Background Technology
[0002] The primary loop of a nuclear power plant is where the reactor coolant resides. Because the fluids in the primary loop are in direct contact with the nuclear fuel, they are highly radioactive, and the reliability of the primary loop is directly related to nuclear safety. The presence of foreign objects in the primary loop can cause vibration, wear, and other aging phenomena in the corresponding equipment components. In severe cases, it can lead to the destruction of the pressure boundary integrity of the primary loop, allowing radioactive fluids to diffuse into the secondary loop and even the environment. Currently, the investigation and prevention of foreign objects in the primary loop faces the following two challenges:
[0003] The source of the anomaly is difficult to pinpoint. Foreign objects may originate from inside or outside the primary circuit. If they originate from inside the primary circuit, their source is difficult to determine due to the circulating current characteristics of the primary circuit. If they originate from outside the primary circuit, they may be related to foreign objects introduced during maintenance. In this case, it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of a large amount of maintenance data.
[0004] Currently, power plants employ root cause analysis to analyze the sources of foreign objects in the primary circuit. This method requires extensive evidence collection and verification, resulting in low efficiency and poor accuracy of the investigation results. Each investigation necessitates a comprehensive review, a process conducted manually, which leads to poor usability of the investigation data and limited applicability of best practices developed during the investigation process to subsequent foreign object prevention.

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] To address the problems of traditional methods for analyzing the sources of foreign matter in the primary loop of nuclear power plants, this invention provides an automated system and method for detecting the sources of foreign matter in the primary loop of nuclear power plants.
[0044] refer to Figure 1 This illustrates a preferred embodiment of the automatic foreign object source detection system for the primary loop of a nuclear power plant provided by the present invention. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1As shown, the automatic foreign object source detection system for the primary loop of the nuclear power plant includes: a feature parameter input module 101, an equipment information database 102, an equipment maintenance information database 104, a twin 3D model 103, an automatic foreign object detection module 105, and a report generation module 106. In this embodiment of the invention, the feature parameter input module 101 is used to input foreign object feature parameters.
[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, foreign object characteristic parameters can include multiple dimensions, such as the size of the foreign object, its material, its specifications, its mobility (i.e., whether it is movable), and the location where it was found. The more dimensions of information input, the more accurate the investigation results. Optionally, foreign object characteristic parameters include, but are not limited to: the material, specifications, location, unit status, and whether the foreign object is movable. The material of the foreign object includes, but is not limited to: its constituent components and corresponding material grades. Specifications include, but are not limited to: the size, shape, length, width, diameter, particle size, and thickness of the foreign object. Location includes: the current location of the foreign object when it is detected, such as the system or equipment in which it is located. Unit status includes: the state of the unit when the foreign object is detected. This state includes, but is not limited to, the current state of the unit and its recent possible states. For example, it could be normal operation, hot shutdown, cold shutdown, or a breach in the primary circuit. Whether the foreign object is movable refers to whether it is continuously moving in the current environment and whether it can flow from a lower elevation to a higher elevation. Among them, the parameter of whether the foreign object is movable is effective in relation to the density and size of the foreign object.
[0046] The equipment information database 102 is used to store component information of all overcurrent equipment in a primary circuit, and interacts with the twin 3D model 103 and is called by the foreign object automatic detection module 105.
[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment of the invention, the component information of all overcurrent devices in a primary loop includes, but is not limited to, the following component information:
[0048] Material information for pipes, pipe flanges, and flange gaskets;
[0049] Material information for the valve body, valve disc, valve shaft, valve disc connecting bolts, and valve chamber sealing gasket;
[0050] Material information for pump casing, impeller, pump shaft, impeller connecting bolts, and pump chamber sealing gasket;
[0051] Material information for the heat exchanger housing, heat transfer tubes, and heat exchanger gaskets;
[0052] Material information for the tank shell, internal structural components, flanges, and gaskets;
[0053] Material information for the pressure vessel shell, in-core components, flanges, and gaskets;
[0054] Material information for the steam generator casing, internal parts, flanges, and gaskets.
[0055] The equipment information database 102 can be indexed based on keywords (such as material, component, etc.) and dynamically displayed in the twin 3D model 103.
[0056] The equipment maintenance information database 104 is used to store all maintenance information of the primary circuit, and interacts with the twin 3D model 103 and is called by the foreign object automatic detection module 105.
[0057] Optionally, in this embodiment of the invention, the maintenance information includes, but is not limited to: the type of maintenance tool, the quantity of maintenance tools, the material information of the maintenance tools, the maintenance area / equipment, the maintenance operation method (such as welding, cutting, grinding, replacement, etc.), and the material information used for maintenance. The equipment maintenance information database 104 can be searched based on any one or more of the following: equipment, maintenance tools, and time.
[0058] The twin 3D model 103 is used to simulate and visualize the flow direction of media, equipment elevation, and equipment flow dimensions under various operating conditions of the primary loop system. It compares and visualizes information based on basic equipment component information and foreign object characteristics. The twin 3D model 103 uses a single device as the smallest display area, allowing users to select devices and visually displaying the selected devices and their component material information. Optionally, the twin 3D model 103 can identify the elevation, pipe diameter, and key node equipment (such as filters) of the primary loop flow equipment and display related identification information. Through this twin 3D model 103, after identifying the possible source of a foreign object, users can intuitively see the plant information and equipment information where it is located, facilitating on-site personnel to determine its specific location and further assess the accuracy of the source based on experience.
[0059] The foreign object automatic detection module 105 is used to match the equipment information database 102 and / or equipment maintenance information database 104 one by one according to the foreign object characteristic parameters, form a foreign object detection logic program and output the foreign object source detection result.
[0060] The report generation module 106 is used to generate a foreign object investigation and analysis report based on the results of the foreign object source investigation.
[0061] The automatic foreign object source detection system for the primary loop of nuclear power plants, as described in this invention, can automatically detect foreign objects, reduce the time spent on manual analysis, improve the efficiency of foreign object detection and analysis, enhance the reliability of safe operation of nuclear power plants, and continuously provide positive feedback for the prevention and control of foreign objects in power plants.
[0062] refer to Figure 2 The present invention also provides an automatic method for detecting foreign object sources in the primary loop of a nuclear power plant. This automatic method for detecting foreign object sources in the primary loop of a nuclear power plant can be implemented using the aforementioned automatic foreign object source detection system for the primary loop of a nuclear power plant.
[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the automatic foreign object source detection method for the primary loop of this nuclear power plant includes the following steps:
[0064] Step S201: Obtain foreign object feature parameters through feature parameter input module 101.
[0065] Step S202: The foreign object automatic detection module 105 matches the equipment information database 102 and / or the equipment maintenance information database 104 one by one based on the foreign object characteristic parameters to form a foreign object detection logic program, and performs foreign object source detection based on the foreign object detection logic program to obtain the foreign object source detection result.
[0066] The automatic foreign object detection model can automatically identify the source of foreign objects, saving manpower from analyzing a small amount of equipment and maintenance information, and saving personnel from repeatedly analyzing the operating status, pipeline flow direction, and foreign object boundary range of complex systems.
[0067] In a preferred embodiment, the investigation of the source of foreign objects can be achieved through the following steps:
[0068] Suppose a foreign object is detected in the current device, and the material, size and shape (sheet-like) of the foreign object are determined, and its density is greater than the density of the primary loop fluid.
[0069] The specific identification steps are as follows:
[0070] The first step is to determine whether there are filters upstream and downstream of the foreign object based on its current location, such as the current device where the foreign object is located (by matching the device information database 102 one by one). If there is a filter upstream of the current device, the filter diameter of the filter is obtained, and the initial source of the foreign object is preliminarily determined by combining the fluid flow direction (including the current device, the filter upstream of the current device, and the device located between the filter and the current device).
[0071] Second, verify the material information of the components of the current device, the upstream filter, and the device located between the filter and the current device, as well as the piping between these devices. Based on this material information, conduct a foreign object source investigation. If the material of the device located between the filter and the current device, or the flow-through component of the current device, is the same as the material of the foreign object, then the foreign object is determined to originate from the current device or the device located between the filter and the current device.
[0072] The third step involves checking the maintenance information in the maintenance information database against the maintenance information of the upstream filter and the equipment between the filter and the current equipment during the last maintenance cycle. This determines whether any tools are made of foreign material. If so, it is determined whether the tool could have dropped the thin, flaky foreign object. If not, it indicates that the object did not fall from the tool. Next, the maintenance operation method is checked to determine if any grinding operations were performed. If grinding operations were performed on the equipment between the filter and the current equipment during the previous maintenance cycle, the foreign object was introduced through the maintenance of the equipment between the filter and the current equipment.
[0073] The fourth step is to continue to accurately identify the source of the foreign object. Check whether there is any foreign object of the same material as the foreign object that may have fallen into the equipment between the filter and the current equipment or inside the current equipment. If the inspection results show that no parts of the equipment between the filter and the current equipment or inside the current equipment have fallen off, it can be determined that the foreign object was introduced from the maintenance and grinding work of the filter and the current equipment.
[0074] like Figure 3 A flowchart of a simple one-loop circuit is shown. Figure 3 In the diagram, the five flow paths are arranged in the order ABCDEFGA, with the elevation information of these seven devices displayed on the right. The numbers 1234567 represent the seven pipes.
[0075] Example 1: Suppose a foreign object is found at point C. The object is made of Z2CN1810 and is a thin sheet with dimensions of 5mm*5mm. Its density is greater than that of the primary loop fluid.
[0076] The process for identifying the source of foreign objects is as follows:
[0077] The first step is to check if there are filters or other equipment upstream and downstream of equipment C. Assuming that A is a filter with a diameter of 0.5mm, and considering the fluid flow direction, the foreign object may come from equipment A, B, or C.
[0078] The second step is to check the material information of the components of equipment A, B, and C, as well as pipes 1 and 2. If only the flow-through components of equipment B and C are made of Z2CN1810, then the foreign object may come from equipment B and C.
[0079] The third step is to check the maintenance information database of A, B, and C during the last maintenance cycle to see if there are any tools made of Z2CN1810. If so, determine whether the tool could have dropped the thin-film foreign object. If not, it means that the object did not fall from the tool. Then, check the maintenance operation method to see if there was any grinding operation. If equipment B had grinding operation in the last maintenance cycle, the foreign object was most likely introduced by the maintenance of equipment B.
[0080] The fourth step is to check whether there is any possibility of Z2CN1810 material foreign objects falling into the inside of equipment B and C. If the inspection results show that no parts inside equipment B and C have fallen off, it means that the foreign objects were introduced from the maintenance and grinding operation of equipment B.
[0081] Alternatively, in another preferred embodiment, the investigation of the source of foreign objects can be achieved through the following steps:
[0082] Suppose a foreign object is detected in the current device, and the material, size, and shape of the foreign object (smooth, elongated) are determined, and its density is greater than the density of the primary loop fluid. There is no filter in the loop.
[0083] The first step is to determine the initial source of the foreign object based on the foreign object density information, as well as the loop flow direction and elevation information.
[0084] The second step is to further screen the initial source based on whether the primary loop pipe has a lining, thus obtaining a secondary source.
[0085] The third step is to verify the material information and drawing information of each device in the loop, and then identify the source again based on the material information and drawing information of each device to obtain the source three times.
[0086] The fourth step is to verify the maintenance information of each device in the circuit, identify the source of the foreign object based on the maintenance information of each device, and finally determine the source of the foreign object.
[0087] Figure 3 A flowchart of a simple one-loop circuit is shown. Figure 3 In the diagram, the five flow paths are arranged in the order ABCDEFGA, with the elevation information of these seven devices displayed on the right. The numbers 1234567 represent the seven pipes.
[0088] Example 2: Suppose a foreign object is found at point D. It is made of 316L stainless steel, is a smooth, elongated strip with dimensions of 20mm*5mm*1mm, and has a density greater than that of the primary loop fluid. There is no filter in the loop.
[0089] The first step, based on the foreign object density information, loop flow direction and elevation information, indicates that the foreign object may come from equipment ABCDEF or pipelines 1234.
[0090] The second step is to directly rule out pipes 1234, because the primary loop pipe has no lining, and foreign objects cannot fall directly from the inner wall of the pipe in a smooth, long strip shape. Therefore, the foreign object may come from equipment ABCDEF.
[0091] The third step is to check the material information of devices ABCDEF. If only devices BC contain parts made of 316L material, it means that if the foreign object came from inside, it was caused by falling off from devices B or C. At this time, check the drawings of devices B and C to see if they have the possibility of dropping long strip-shaped foreign objects. If only device B has the possibility of dropping long strip-shaped foreign objects, it means that the foreign object is most likely a part that fell off from device B.
[0092] The fourth step is to check the maintenance information database of ABCDEF. If the historical maintenance tools for equipment C show that long, thin tools were used and that breakage occurred, it indicates that the foreign object may have originated from the maintenance of equipment C. According to the foreign object prevention management report for the maintenance of equipment C, if the broken maintenance tool was not introduced into equipment C, then the foreign object can be ruled out as originating from the maintenance of equipment C. Therefore, the foreign object originated from the breakage and detachment of a part inside equipment B.
[0093] Step S203: Generate a foreign object investigation analysis report based on the foreign object source investigation results through the report generation module 106.
[0094] Furthermore, the automatic method for detecting foreign object sources in the primary loop of the nuclear power plant also includes: comparing and visualizing the basic component information of the equipment with the characteristics of the foreign object using a twin 3D model 103.
[0095] The automatic foreign object source detection system and method for the primary loop of nuclear power plants according to the present invention have the following advantages:
[0096] Advantage 1: It can automatically narrow down the scope of foreign object investigation based on the characteristics of the foreign object.
[0097] Specifically, regarding material, the material of the foreign object can be compared with the material information of internal equipment and external maintenance materials. Those matching the material (i.e., the same material as the foreign object) are included as potential sources, thus narrowing down the range of foreign object sources. Regarding specifications, the specifications of the foreign object can be compared with the specifications of equipment parts and consumables and tools used during maintenance. Those matching the specifications are included as potential sources, thus narrowing down the range of foreign object sources. Regarding location, the flow characteristics of the foreign object can be compared to narrow down its possible activity range, thus narrowing down the range of foreign object sources. Regarding unit status, the location can be considered to determine the possible activity range of the foreign object, because different unit statuses result in different activated systems and equipment, further causing changes in the activity range of the foreign object. Regarding whether the foreign object is movable, its location can be considered to narrow down its activity range. For example, if the foreign object can only move downstream, then only upstream equipment needs to be identified as a potential source; if the foreign object can only move from high to low, then only connected high-level equipment needs to be identified as a potential source.
[0098] Advantage 2: It can automatically determine whether the foreign object comes from inside or outside the primary circuit.
[0099] Advantage 3: The twin 3D model 103 can simulate the flow of media under various operating conditions of the system.
[0100] By using a twin 3D model 103 to simulate the flow of media under various working conditions, the system can automatically narrow down the scope of investigation for foreign objects based on their characteristics.
[0101] Advantage 4: The twin 3D model 103 can simulate the elevation of system equipment.
[0102] Advantage 5: The twin 3D model 103 can simulate the flow dimensions of system equipment.
[0103] Advantage 6: The twin 3D model 103 can record basic component information of the equipment and can be compared with the characteristics of foreign objects.
[0104] Advantage 7: This system enables automatic detection and report generation of foreign objects, reducing manpower input.
[0105] Advantage 8: The accuracy of the investigation scope is positively correlated with the accuracy of the foreign object characteristics.
[0106] Advantage 9: The system automatically connects with the historical maintenance information of nuclear power plants and updates equipment maintenance information regularly.
[0107] Advantage 10: The system compares the characteristics of foreign objects with the maintenance information of system equipment.
[0108] Advantage 11: The system automatically determines the metal grade based on the proportion of foreign metal materials.
[0109] The equipment information and maintenance information both include corresponding material information. By comparing the entered material information with the material information of foreign objects, the grade information (i.e., metal grade) can be obtained.
[0110] This invention is based on the digitization of foreign object characteristics and comparison with system equipment components, maintenance consumables, common tools, and special tools. Simultaneously, based on the unit's operating mode, system medium flow direction, and equipment 3D elevation information, corresponding algorithmic functions are developed to achieve intelligent foreign object location, improve the accuracy of foreign object analysis and investigation, and detect potential equipment anomalies in advance, especially avoiding major equipment damage, thereby reducing unplanned unit shutdowns for maintenance. It significantly reduces the workload of engineers in power plant foreign object prevention teams, operations, and equipment engineers. By integrating multiple data sources, it automates and integrates data flows, standardizes foreign object analysis tools, and greatly improves the efficiency of engineers.
[0111] This invention enables rapid location of foreign objects in the primary loop system of nuclear power plants, significantly improving the automation level of foreign object detection and reducing tedious manual work. It fully utilizes the system platform to achieve data integration and interoperability, generating standardized 3D models of nuclear power plant system processes and equipment, further reducing manual input and management costs. Currently, it has been effectively applied in the tracing and analysis of foreign objects in nuclear fuel, pressure vessels, and connection systems of nuclear power plants, achieving significant results.
