Impact Analysis of Vertical Arrangement for Conventional Island in Nuclear Power Plant
-
Abstract
In nuclear power plant, the important buildings are standardized arranged, including Conventional Island (CI) building, the floor levels and the main equipment allocation are fixed in the original blue print. In this article, the vertical level elevation means the bottom elevation of CI building VS the site elevation. In nuclear power plant, the quantity of circulating water is large; the circulating pumps are the main power consumers. So the level variable of condenser is sensitive to the electrical cost of the circulating pumps. This article is based on the project feedback and the dedicated study by nuclear power plant designers for the vertical level, analysis the use of the fix height between the top of condenser and the level of overflow pit to earn the energy, in the meantime, the bottom level of condenser water box shall be above the higher sea level in order to be able to empty condenser water boxes for maintenance, the net height of handling row, transportation between the CI building and site, etc. are taken into account. Qualitative analysis list the relative factors should be considered in new power plant site.
