Abstract:In order to enlarge the nuclear safety margin, ensure safe shutdown of nuclear reactors under loss of on-site and offsite power supply, and raise the unit availability through elongation of diesel fallback time under unavailability of emergency diesel generators, at present, nuclear power stations of most countries and zones in the world such as France,the U.S., South Africa, South Korea and Taiwan have been equipped with additional diesel generators, making the safety performance of above-mentioned nuclear power stations advanced in the world. In this paper, the wiring procedures,power supply mode, testing methods and the power supply and connection schemes of motor control center are described. Key words:additional diesel generator; emergency diesel generator; nuclear safety margin; emergency power supply; main wiring; test; motor control center▲
1 附加柴油发电机的功能
设置附加柴油发电机主要是为了使其具有以下功能: a) 替换功能。当电站中任何一台正常应急柴油机不可用时,附加柴油发电机即可代替该不可用柴油机,并执行其所有功能。 b) 抵抗全厂失电(station black-out SBO)功能。所谓全厂失电是指电站在失去厂内、厂外电源的同时,正常应急柴油机也不可用。此时可单独启动附加柴油发电机,并提供使核反应堆安全停堆所必需的电源。
2 附加柴油发电机主接线方式
从核安全的角度来说,核电站每台机组都设置有电气上完全独立的A、B两个系列,而每个系列的1E级中压母线又配置有一台应急柴油发电机作为该1E级中压母线的应急电源。一般来说附加柴油机同时可以作为2台机组、4台机组和6台机组的后备紧急备用电源,这主要取决于每个国家及地区核电站的电气配置。下面以2台机组为例简述附加柴油机的主接线方式。 2.1 方式一 如图1所示,这种主接线的原理是附加柴油发电机出口经过一个断路器与中压盘(CBSWG)相联,该中压盘有5个出线,其中一个出线接触器经过6.6 kV/380 V 变压器与厂内380 V AC 电源通过电气或机械连锁后为柴油机附属设备供电;另外4个出线经钥匙连锁后(即同时只能有一路接同)分别与4条1E级中压母线连接(1 LHA、1 LHB、2 LHA和2 LHB)。由于接线简单、操作方便,所以在国外的一些核电站,如南非、韩国等,这种方式被广泛采用。
