Analysis on the response time testing of OT/OPΔT protection for PWR
Background: The over temperature/over power ΔT (OT/OP ΔT) is a key protection to Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and the response time testing of the protection is required in technical specifications of Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR). Purpose: To have credible response time testing of the protection
including the effects of dynamic compensation unit
analysis was conducted on the requirements of the rules and the application of the design. Methods: Firstly
the application of the protection algorithm is analyzed. Then the requirements of IEEE388 and the dynamic response of the typical dynamic compensation units upon step and impulse stimulations are studied. Results: Base on the analysis
corresponding to the nominal thermohydraulics and the instrumentation and control design
a recommend testing parameter configuration set for AP1000 OT/OP ΔT protection response time testing is developed. The non-negligible effect of dynamic compensation units is concluded as well. Conclusion: As a result
the requirement of having the dynamic compensations on line for the response time testing is strongly proposed. Abstract
