Abstract
A method and system for the real-time simulation of the dynamic operation of a nuclear power plant in which a secondary system for operating the steam turbine includes reheaters for increasing the steam temperature and pressure between the low and high pressure turbine stages, an electrohydraulic controller for operating the turbine at required speed, a condenser for condensing turbine exhaust steam, a condensate and feedwater system for pumping condensed steam back to the secondary side of a steam generator, a gland steam system for preventing leakage from and to the atmosphere, and a cooling system for the main generator, utilizes apparatus that includes a digital computer for calculating output data corresponding to physical values for the operation of the plant in accordance with input data. A control console includes automatic and manually operable devices corresponding to plant control devices for varying the input data, and indicating devices responsive to the output data for monitoring the operation of the plant.
