Publication number: 20240113558Abstract: A power system supervisory control apparatus, a power system supervisory control system, and a power system supervisory control method for reducing social cost and improving resilience of a power system are provided. The power system supervisory control apparatus including multiple renewable energy power supplies includes: a system influence degree evaluation section that evaluates a system influence degree when a renewable energy fluctuation or an assumed fault has an influence on the power system by using, as computation conditions, system data for obtaining a state of the power system, renewable energy fluctuation data indicative of a fluctuation of a power generation output, and assumed fault data of an assumed fault in the power system, and calculates system influence degree evaluation result data; a computation condition selection index calculation section that calculates a selection index for the computation conditions; and a condition selection section that selects the computation conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Daichi Kato, Masahiro Watanabe, Takahisa Matsuzaki, Yohei Murakami

Patent number: 11515051Abstract: In view of above problems, an object of the invention is to provide a primary containment vessel venting system having a structure capable of continuously discharging vapor in a primary containment vessel out of the system and continuously reducing pressure of the primary containment vessel without discharging radioactive noble gases to the outside of the containment vessel and without using an enclosing vessel or a power source. In order to achieve the above object, an nuclear power plant of the invention includes a primary containment vessel which includes a reactor pressure vessel, a radioactive substance separation apparatus which is disposed inside the primary containment vessel and through which the radioactive noble gases do not permeate but vapor permeates, a vent pipe which is connected to the radioactive substance separation apparatus, and an exhaust tower which is connected to the vent pipe and discharges a gas, from which a radioactive substance is removed, to the outside.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Sohei Fukui, Takahisa Matsuzaki, Kazuaki Kito, Yoshihiko Ishii, Masataka Hidaka, Tomohiko Ikegawa, Katsuki Hamada

Publication number: 20220319729Abstract: A reactor containment vessel vent system continuously releases steam generated in a reactor containment vessel to the atmosphere even when a power supply is lost. In the reactor containment vessel vent system, the noble gas filter that allows steam to pass through but does not allow radioactive noble gases to pass through among vent gas discharged from the reactor containment vessel is provided at a most downstream portion of the vent line. An immediate upstream portion of the noble gas filter and the reactor containment vessel are connected to each other by the return pipe via the intermediate vessel. When the radioactive noble gases having pressure equal to or higher than predetermined pressure stay in the immediate upstream portion of the noble gas filter, the staying radioactive noble gases flows into the intermediate vessel by the relief valve. Thus, steam permeability is maintained and the system continuously releases the steam.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Hajime FURUICHI, Takahisa MATSUZAKI

Patent number: 11404178Abstract: The invention provides a reactor containment vessel vent system capable of continuously releasing steam generated in a reactor containment vessel to the atmosphere even when a power supply is lost. In the reactor containment vessel vent system (15), the noble gas filter (23) that allows steam to pass through but does not allow radioactive noble gases to pass through among vent gas discharged from the reactor containment vessel (1) is provided at a most downstream portion of the vent line. An immediate upstream portion of the noble gas filter (23) and the reactor containment vessel (1) are connected to each other by the return pipe (24a, 24b) via the intermediate vessel (100). Further, when the radioactive noble gases having pressure equal to or higher than predetermined pressure stays in the immediate upstream portion of the noble gas filter (23), the staying radioactive noble gases flows into the intermediate vessel (100) by the relief valve (25).Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Hajime Furuichi, Takahisa Matsuzaki

Patent number: 10438707Abstract: An atomic power plant is provided including a primary containment vessel (PCV) 1, a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) 3, a main steam line 4, two steam safety relief valves (SRVs) 6, a pressure suppression pool (S/P) 8, an SRV exhaust pipe 9 which is connected to a quencher 10, a temperature measuring instrument 12 which measures a temperature inside the quencher 10, an SRV controller 13 which controls opening and closing of the SRVs 6. After a lapse of predetermined time from when the SRV 6 is opened, in a case where it is determined that a temperature detected by the temperature measuring instrument 12 is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the SRV controller 13 causes the SRV 6 to which the temperature measuring instrument 12 detecting the temperature leads, to be closed and to be prohibited from being opened.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Kazuaki Kito, Takahisa Matsuzaki, Tomohiko Ikegawa
