Abstract
Feed-water deaerator system in nuclear power plant is important to guarantee the feed water quality as it takes part in the important function for heating and deaerating of feed water in the secondary circuit. Consequently, the level protection function of deaerator relates directly to safety and economic efficiency of the entire power plant. With experience feedback from several nuclear power plants, this article proposes a complete optimization solution including instrumentation configuration for deaerator water level protection so as to reduce the probability of trigger due to the operation transient or instrument failure, so-called malfunction. Feasibility and reliability of optimization is based on the instrument performance, control logic and the comparison between the optimization solution and the original solution. The benefits of optimization solution are presented by employing technology of nowadays.
