Trip signal to open the unit breaker Trip Negative sequence Step 2. Trip signal to open the generator 15 breaker (already open)

16 MAIN CONTROL ROOM First impression of the event at the control room: The light in the control room was lower Operators heard sounds that was identified as typical of motors running on unbalance voltage. Unit breaker at the 400 kv switchyard signaled both on and off position. Several alarms occurred both from: the switchyard from objects that had tripped due to phase unbalance (rectifiers and induction machines driven objects) residual heat removal pump stopped 16

19 A TOOL BOX OF MITIGATING ACTIONS Design Process Integral testing Electric separation Unbalance protection Transient overvoltage protection (surge arresters) Analysis (simulation) of postulated disturbances V&V Transient registration Supervision Compensatory measures during operation Island operation of DG during lightning and electrical maintenance No major electrical work until the lid is off (decay heat, availability of water) Specific plan during challenging plant modifications Classic approach Analysis of disturbances Reverse approach What 19 can we withstand?

20 ELECTRIC SEPARATION TOOL BOX Feed of one or two trains from standby network Both non-safety and safety busbar Only safety busbar Active protection trigger happy Feed from different locations in the grid (only applicable in some plants) Filter MG-set (or static) Separate between safety and non-safety Separate sensitive equipment (UPS) Electronic switch to be or not to be? Rectifier as a barrier Breaker before rectifier w or w/o automatic restart Cooperation with vendors How to specify at procurement? 20

21 FORMARK PLANNING HORIZON Our mission - Ensure safe and stable long-term operation Investments (target approx MEUR) More focus on maintenance 21

22 AN INTRODUCTORY CONCLUSION Robust power supply system is one of the most essential aspects for safety at nuclear power plants worldwide. This workshop shall discuss the recent progress in achieving a better understanding of "new" electrical phenomena that occurred recently, like Open Phase Conditions. This understanding will lead to improved countermeasures and to an upgraded defence-in-depthconcept. The results of our meeting shall contribute to the progress for a more reliable power supply system in the near future. Welcome! 22
