Ageing of power electronics in NPP safety systems including rectifiers and UPS systems

| 2023:952 | Dao Zhou, Huai Wang, Marie-Louise Axenborg, Niclas Krantz, And Frede Blaabjerg
Understanding ageing and degradation of safety system equipment containing power electronics is of great interest to nuclear power plants. The ageing status might impact or be the reason for sudden failure when components are hit by a transient.

This project addressed the ageing and robustness of nuclear power plant auxiliary power DC systems and UPS devices containing power electronic components. By increasing the understanding one can find better ways to monitor and predict when equipment should be replaced based on time and experienced abnormal stress.

    Impact of over-frequency events on Nordic NPPs

    This report quantifies over-frequency events by using a simulation model of the Nordic synchronous system and simulating different faults related to the HVDC links, in combination with operating conditions of high and low inertia.

    Trends of frequency deviations

    In this report grid frequency statistics of the last two decades have been examined together with analysis of inertia values of the Nordic Power System. Interviews have been held with the Nordic Nuclear Production Plant owners and the Swedish and Finnish TSOs. Conclusions are made whether it exist correlations with system quantities like frequency quality, inertia, wind power production, wear and tear of nuclear plants, and system services.
