Patent number: 10256000Abstract: Provided are a method and system for improving control of a steam generator level for preventing oscillation of the steam generator level in a nuclear power plant. In order to prevent oscillation of a steam generator level and resultant shutdown of a nuclear reactor, which may be caused when a high-level priority control function is frequently and repeatedly turned on/off as the steam generator level is excessively increased, by improving a feedwater control system in the nuclear power plant, a proportional integral control value may be controlled to be reduced, and thus, output while a certain condition is met after a high-level priority mode is deactivated or a signal instructing to enter the high-level priority control mode may be controlled not to be output.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: KEPCO ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC.Inventors: In Ho Song, Myung Jun Song, See Chae Jeong, Ju Han Lee, Shin Whan Kim, Eung Seo Kim
