Innovation Control Strategy Simulation Research of Once-through Steam Generator

Abstract

The new type of nuclear power plant adopts once-through steam generator (OTSG) which can supply steam to the turbine, control and operation of OTSG is different from the traditional natural circulation steam generator, the control strategy of the traditional natural circulation steam generator is not applicable to OTSG. In order to meet the demand of the general operation of the integrated reactor, the operation control of OTSG is put forward. The paper proposes a double const control strategy that the average temperature of the primary circuit coolant and the secondary circuit steam pressure are kept constant, also proposesa coordinated control strategy considering reactor and turbine as a whole. The control strategy is different the traditional control method. In order to verify the control strategy, simulation experiments are carried out in a full-scale simulator system. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy of OTSG in integrated reactor to meet the load demand, also can effectively guarantee the dynamic characteristics of pressure steam generator and related parameters of OTSG.
