Abstract:
With the development of Chinese energy, nuclear power will face more pressure of peak load operation, such as the Hainan Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant which uses the CNP600 technology. The control of axial power difference Δ
I is one of the most difficult technical problems in peak load operation. The influences of moderator temperature, rod position of control rod, and concentration of soluble boron on Δ
I were analyzed. Based on the influence law, 3 possible schemes of peak load operation were simulated. The Δ
I control strategies were put forward, and the detail control scheme with the variety of power was supplied. The results can provide technical support for Δ
I control in peak load operation of CNP600.
