Control rod control system
Control rod control system is an executive part of control and protection system of NPP power units.
Functions of SGIU:
- automatically controlling control rods (CR) movement by signals of protections, an automatic power controller or by operator’s commands;
- indicating current position and state of CRs in MCR and BCR;
- recording, visualizing, and archiving parameters.
System advantages:
Doubling of each channel
of drive power control with “hot” reserve of protection and control functions due to automatic unstressed switching of drive control from failed channel to a reserve one with retention of all control functions;
Control of different types of drives
with possibility of their switching;
Possibility of RO control
in any mode of both manual and automatic operation control and also in RF protection modes;
Power supply of power equipment with direct current,
which allows to ensure unstressed switching from a main power supply input to a reserve one in case of a failure or voltage reduction at the main input;
Automated support of a physical experiment
to check RO SUZ effectiveness;
A developed diagnostic system
with determination and recording of step skip, slipping, jamming of a cluster;
Inclusion of a testing stand for SUZ drives into a supply set.
