Electrical balance of water-water energetic reactor-1000 nuclear reactor using ETAP

Abstract EN

In this paper, a detailed studying of electrical balance for the water-water energetic reactor WWER-1000 had discussed.

The balance of the plant is a term generally used in the context of power engineering to refer to all the supporting components and auxiliary systems of a power plant needed to deliver the energy, other than the generating unit itself.

These may include transformers, inverters, and supporting structures depending on the type of plant.

All electrical components had discussed and a case study included two WWER-1000 nuclear power reactors connected to two different electrical network voltages 750 KV and 330 KV.

In the case study, load flow analysis; short circuit analysis, transient stability; the effects of the motors’ acceleration on the system; and optimal capacitors’ placement for power factor correction purposes had studied.
