Study on the Development of I&C Equipment Performance Monitoring Program for Nuclear Power Plants

Abstract

The equipment performance monitoring program is designed to provide guidance for monitoring the performance of equipment, with an aim to enable engineers to identify hidden hazards as early as possible and take corresponding corrective actions to achieve the purpose of equipment reliability management of nuclear power plant. The nuclear power plant realizes monitoring, control and protection of the whole plant through I&C equipment, by which to ensure the safe, reliable and economic operation of the nuclear power plant. In this paper, a set of performance monitoring program process special for I&C equipment of nuclear power plant is developed. And the RGL system (rod control system and rod position system) of a nuclear power plant is taken as an example to illustrate, analyze and summarize, which lays a foundation for nuclear power plant to carry out equipment reliability management.
