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.

Other solutions for nuclear power plants

Process information system (unit’s upper level)

Central control system for the NPP power unit which provides visualization, registration and documentation of technological process parameters in all operating modes of the power unit, control of critical functions and basic safety parameters.
