Abstract

When Gulf States Utilities Company`s (now part of Entergy Operations, Inc.) River Bend Nuclear Plant, decided to add a closed cooling water system for the plant service water, a new SCADA system was required. Previously the normal service water system shared common cooling towers and flume with the plant`s circulating water system. Closing the system required a new cooling tower with pumps and heat exchangers to be constructed in a remote location. Existing equipment in the area was controlled via a multichannel tone SCADA system that did not have sufficient spare capacity for control of the new components. This paper will discuss how a new SCADA system was designed and installed, that also included process control. It will also address the operational experience to date.

Windows-based SCADA stress-tested in Ottawa

Journal Article MacMillan, S; Roe, G - InTech

The weather in Ottawa, the seat of Canada`s federal government, poses many challenges to the owners and operators of commercial buildings in this beautiful and historic region. By far the largest of these landlords is the Canadian federal government with an excess of 600 buildings in the National Capital Region (NCR). Given the extremes of the climate, and the proximity of many of the federal buildings to each other, Canada decided many years ago to develop a system of central heating and cooling plants (CHCPs) distributed throughout the NCR. Today these plants provide steam and chilled water to approximately 125more »« less
Closed loop system lowers service water temperature

Journal Article DeWeese, C - Power Engineering; (United States)

This article describes, Gulf States Utilities completed conversion of the service water system at River Bend station to a treated demineralized water closed loop system. The modification to this 63,000-gpm system required separating service water from the larger circulating water cooling system that cools the main condenser. New service water pumps were installed along with eight parallel plate and frame heat exchangers. The heat exchangers transfer heat from the service water system to a new service water cooling system. The cooling system is composed of a 63,000-gpm five-cell mechanical draft cooling tower, three cooling tower pumps, and eight automatic pressuremore »« less
District heating and cooling systems for communities through power plant retrofit and distribution network. Executive summary, September 1978-May 1979. [City of Detroit]

Technical Report

Following DOE's RFP for District Heating and Cooling Through Power Plant Retrofit, Detroit Edison and the City of Detroit decided to respond, even though it would mean redirection and a delay in their plan that was already under study. The analysis reported here proceeded in six steps. The first step was to identify the service area under the constraint that it be within the City of Detroit and in close proximity to the candidate plant. With the basic service area to be considered established, the load within the service area was defined for the five categories of end-users chosen: generalmore »« less

The impacts of retrofitting cooling towers at a large power station

Technical Report Burns, J; Nicholson, J; Annett, J; ...

This paper presents the results of a detailed study of the impacts that a proposed mandated closed-cycle, cooling tower retrofit would have on a two unit 2200 MW{sub e} nuclear operating facility. The paper discusses the complexity involved with such an undertaking, the adverse impact on plant performance, increased operating and maintenance cost, schedule considerations, options that would minimize impacts, and the overall costs involved with such an undertaking. Retrofitting a once-through cooling water system for closed-cycle would require significant redesigns, including modifying the cooling water flow; the construction of cooling towers; review and refurbishment of the condensers, circulating watermore »« less
Redundant computer SCADA system

Journal Article Higgins, A - Pipeline Gas J.; (United States)

Piedmont Natural Gas, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., serves more than 320,000 residential,commercial, and industrial gas customers in 65 communities through 340 miles of gas transmission pipelines and 6,400 miles of gas distribution mains. The service area stretches across the Piedmont region of North and South Carolina and into the Nashville, Tenn, area. Initially, system control was handled by pulse duration modulation telemetering. Piedmont began to computerize in 1974 and by 1978 had a fully computerized SCADA system. That first system was a Super Compiler, supplied by QEI Inc., which provided Piedmont with accurate measurement, dependable control, and system security. Aftermore »« less
