EE51FC1 ASSIGNMENT IN POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS (NUCLEAR POWER PLANT)

FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM

PLANT DATA:

DISCUSSION:
- Consisted of four reactors of type RBMK-1000, each capable of producing 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electric power (3.2 GW of thermal power), and the four together produced about 10% of Ukraine's electricity at the time of the accident. - The power plant is connected to the 330 kV and 750 kV electrical grid. The electrical energy is generated by a pair of 500 MW hydrogen-cooled turbo generators. - The worst Nuclear reactor accident in the history took place here on April 26 of 1986. On this date the reactor number four at the Chernobyl plant exploded killing 30 people immediately and almost 90.000 the 23 years after the ramp due to radiation.
