Co-simulation for real time safety verification of nuclear power plants

Safety Verification of Real Time Systems Serving Periodic Devices

In real-time systems response to a request from a controlled object must be correct and timely. Any late response to a request from such a device might lead to a catastrophy. The possibility of a task overrun, i.e., missing the deadline for completing a requested task, must be checked and removed during the design of such systems. Safe design of real-time systems running periodic tasks under th...

Real Time Dynamic Simulation of Power System Using Multiple Microcomputers

Recent developments in the design and manufacture of microcomputers together with improved simulation techniques make it possible to achieve the speed and accuracy required for the dynamic simulation of power systems in real time. This paper presents some experimental results and outlines new ideas on hardware architecture, mathematical algorithms and software development for this purpose. The ...

Safety in nuclear power plants in India

Safety in nuclear power plants (NPPs) in India is a very important topic and it is necessary to dissipate correct information to all the readers and the public at large. In this article, I have briefly described how the safety in our NPPs is maintained. Safety is accorded overriding priority in all the activities. NPPs in India are not only safe but are also well regulated, have proper radiolog...

Probabilistic Safety Analysis in Safety Management of Nuclear Power Plants

Advanced Numerical Simulation for the Safety Demonstration of Nuclear Power Plants

Existing commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs) have obtained excellent and outstanding performance records over the past decade. Nevertheless, even though the high safety level already achieved could be maintained without investing new exhaustive research efforts, anticipation of further tighter requirements for even higher standard levels should be made, which implies preparedness for new res...
