Method and system for operating a boiling water reactor-steam turbine plant preferably under digital computer control

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4355434
A digital computer control system is described which operates a boiling water nuclear reactor and a steam turbine in an electric power plant. The computer applies feedforward control to the reactor system and to the turbine inlet and bypass steam valves to meet plant load demand within throttle pressure constraints. The plant is operated by the computer in the turbine follow mode or the coordinated mode. (Official Gazette)
