Signal validation in nuclear power plants: Annual progress report for the period September 30, 1986-September 29, 1987
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6521627
In large sysstems, such as nuclear power plants, chemical plants and others, signals from various instrumentation systems are channeled to control systems, protection systems, and plant monitoring systems. Validation of these signals is necessary to minimize plant downtime, to increase the reliability of operator decisions and to aid in scheduling plant maintenance. The research program at the University of Tennessee and its subcontractor, Combustion Engineering, Inc.,, is directed towards developing a comprehensive signal validation system for implementation in current and future power plants (advanced reactors). The signal validation architecture consists of parallel signal processing modules, each of which implements a diverse validation scheme. The various modules are being evaluated using PWR plant simulation data from combustion Engineering, Inc., and operational data from Northeast Utilities Millstone III plant. Currently, all the modules are being developed and tested using the IBM-AT computer.
