Detailed Nuclear Power Plant Model for Power System Analysis Based on Matlab-Simulink

Tan Jin, Yue Huang, Zheng Xu

Abstract

To research the load-following capability of the nuclear power generating unit, this paper proposed a detailed mathematical model of the pressurized water reactor (PWR) which is suitable for medium- and long-term stability analysis of power systems. Analyzed the interactions between the nuclear power generating unit and the power system, through the simulations of a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system. The results show that PWR nuclear power generating unit can meet load following requirements to some degree.
