Provided is a power supply system that contributes to stabilization of a power system, and the like. A power supply system includes a control unit that uses at least a part of generated power of a photovoltaic power plant and a wind power plant that generate power with asynchronous power supplies as in-plant power to be used for a motor and another load during normal operation of a nuclear power plant that generates power with a main generator that is a synchronous power supply. The control unit uses at least a part of the generated power of the photovoltaic power plant and the wind power plant as the in-plant power during the normal operation of the nuclear power plant to reduce an in-plant ratio in the nuclear power plant.

Power supply system and power supply method

An adjustable speed drive system for a primary loop recirculation pump and method of control in which a first breaker is connected to an auxiliary power supply system, an inverter is connected to the first breaker, a second breaker is connected to an output of the inverter, a gate driver supplies a gate pulse to the inverter, and an inverter control portion drives the gate driver. The adjustable speed drive system is combined with a backup adjustable speed drive system. When a malfunction in a main adjustable speed drive circuit portion including the inverter and the gate driver in the adjustable speed drive system used in a normal operation is detected, the main adjustable speed drive circuit portion is switched to the backup adjustable speed drive system, and an operation of a recirculation pump motor for driving a recirculation pump that controls a flow of a reactor core is continued.

Adjustable speed drive system for primary loop recirculation pump

An adjustable speed drive system for a primary loop recirculation pump capable of keeping a PLR pump operating even if a single malfunction occurred in a main adjustable speed drive circuit portion. The drive system for the primary loop recirculation pump has a backup main adjustable speed drive circuit portion, and a breaker for switching between an incoming destination and an outputting destination of the backup main adjustable speed drive circuit portion. A control signal of an inverter control portion is switched to control an inverter included in the backup main adjustable speed drive circuit portion, and when a malfunction occurred in the adjustable speed drive main circuit, by switching to the backup main adjustable speed drive circuit portion, the primary loop recirculation pump of a nuclear reactor is continuously controlled and operated.
