LIGHT WATER REACTOR PLANT MODELING FOR POWER SYSTEM DYNAMICS SIMULATION Abstract- New models of generating plant with the light water reactor (PWR and BWR) have been developed for simulating the plant dynamics under not only the small power system disturbances but also the large disturbances. The developed plant model enables precise and effective analysis of power system dynamics considering the nuclear plant response to power system faults by combining the plant model with the conventional power system dynamics simulation program. This paper first describes the modeling of the nuclear plant, and next outlines the application for power system dynamics simulation with nuclear plant. INTRODUCTION Power system dynamics simulation is an important and common analyzing technique used to evaluate the stable operation capability of the system to faults such as a transmission line fault caused by a lightning stroke. Power system dynamics, after a fault, is important among the component models of the system in power system dynamics simulation. Various types of generating plants because of their relatively large unit capacity ( e.g. 500-1300 M We) and their large influences on the stable operation of the power system. Early approaches for modeling of nuclear plant dynamics, under power system disturbance, have been proposed [I] 141. These are generally simplified models based on the assumption that power system disturbance such as system frequency deviation is small. The rapid closing system of the turbine steam control valve and the turbine bypass valves are not modeled in some plant models. The control and protection system models for reactor and turbine are simplified or eliminated. In contrast, f a local power system including nuclear plant is separated from a major system and islanded by transmission line fault, the disturbance of the isolated power system is generally large, Inside the plant, the control valve may be closed quickly and the bypass
