ABSTRACT
The electrical voltage is one of the important parameters, which must be considered to assure the safety of any power
system. The secure, safe and reliable operation of Nuclear power plants (NPPs) needs many studies for the interaction
between the NPP and Electrical Grid. This paper presents an analysis to show the mutual interface between electrical grid
and NPP under different scenarios of abnormalities on both the electrical grid and NPP. The pressurized water reactor
(PWR) NPP mathematical models are presented in MATLAB/ Simulink. The responses of NPP key parameters under step
increase and decrease in power demand were studied and presented to evaluate and assess the load following ability of the
NPP. Then the weighted least squares (WLS) state estimation method is used to study the IEEE 30-bus system response
for a sudden shut down and generation loss of NPP by 50%. The IEEE 30 bus system voltage profile is presented and
analysed. This study can contribute to understand the performance of both NPP and electrical grid under different
scenarios of expected disturbances and this can offer certain guidance for the engineering practice.

1. INTRODUCTION
The power of NPP has been developing continually in the world, and it is expected to grow greatly in the coming
years [1–4]. Owing to the NPP high safety requirements and high capacity, large abnormalities in electrical systems
may influence seriously on NPP and electrical grids. Thus, ensuring the power networks and NPPs stability and
safety is an important issue [5].
Up to the present time, for safety, economic and environmental considerations, most NPPs operate as base
load stations without participating in the power grid frequency control.
A reliable and stable electrical grid (with reliable distribution systems, transmission systems and
production units) is an essential to the NPP safety [6].
As shown in figure (1), the Output from the generating unit (NPP) is fed to the electrical grid via the
generator transformer. During the normal operation, the electrical power is fed to NPP auxiliaries from the NPP
generating unit via the unit transformers. NPP auxiliaries can be supplied from the electrical grid when the
generator is shut down by opening the generator breaker in the connection to the generator terminals.
To provide an independent electrical power supply to NPP auxiliary equipment, one or more station

transformers provide the second connection to the grid [7]. This redundancy in power sources to NPP auxiliaries plays an
important role for nuclear safety which is called defence in depth concept.
There are an important technical issues related with the electrical grid –NPP interface. Among these issues are the
sudden increasing or reduction in the electrical power required to supply various consumers or tripping of NPP, which
supplying a major portion of the electrical grid load, these previous disturbances can result leads to an imbalance between
load and the available generation and effect on the grid’s voltage and frequency.
Frequency is one of the important parameters in power system operation, so that for the power system safety and
quality of power delivery Frequency should be maintained around its nominal value. Deviation of the frequency is usually
initiated from the imbalance between power production of generating units and the grid load. When generating units' power
production is smaller than the gird load, the system frequency will drop. In reverse, the frequency will rise when the power
production is larger than the load of the electrical grid. Since the disturbance of grid load is a problem that cannot be
eliminated due to the load demand changing of consumers, the fluctuation of frequency is unavoidable, which needs to be
monitored continuously and controlled within safe levels [8].
To study the interaction between electrical grid and NPP, a detailed model of NPP is required to obtain an overall
picture of what happened in the plant. In the previous studies, there are some detailed models for nuclear power plant have
been proposed for power system stability analysis, among them, some are linear models [9-11] which cannot be used for
large abnormalities such as load rejection. Other models were nonlinear, but some factors that are very important for power
system are not taken into consideration and took a large number of assumptions that used to simplify the model such as
simplifying the reactor model into one fuel node and two coolant nodes, so that the NPP model cant reflect accurately the
interactions between NPPs and the electrical grid [12-17]. In this study, some of previous factors are taken into account, so
the model becomes able to simulate the dynamic behavior of electrical grid and NPP.
This paper presents a model for the Westinghouse PWR NPP using Matlab/ Simulink. Based on this detailed
model, the dynamic responses of NPP under the change of electrical grid loads are studied. Also, impact of the plant
tripping and loss of NPP generation by 50% on the IEEE 30 bus system voltage profile are studied.

2. MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF NPP
The NPP can be divided into nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) and balance of plant (BOP) system. The NSSS contains
the reactor connected to steam generator (SG) and a primary or main pump.in addition, there is one pressurizer connected
to the reactor in the containment building. The BOP system mainly consists of turbine and condenser. The PWR objective
is to transfer the energy, which is produced in the reactor to the SG, where it is converted into steam to drive the turbine
generator in order to produce the electrical power (see figure 2).
Figure 2: Overview of a Nuclear Power Generation Process [18].
In this study, dynamic, detailed, and nonlinear mathematical models for the NPP systems of the Westinghouse
pressurized water reactor (PWR) NPP is developed.
2.1 Modelling the NPP Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS)
Following ref [19], mathematical model for reactor core, pressurizer, SG model and their control systems are simulated in
matlab/simulink as shown in figure 3.The detailed derivations of these models are presented in [12].

2.2 Modelling the NPP Balance of Plant (BOP) System
The model development of BOP components of a PWR plant describes models for turbine, speed control system, and
condenser. These models then connected to construct the BOP overall model of NPP.
Description of steam and water flow path in steam turbine system is as following:-
A saturated steam is supplied from the SG to the steam turbine. A portion of this saturated steam enters the
turbine and the remainder bypassed to the reheater to improve the turbine thermal efficiency.
After leaving the nozzle chest the steam expands in high pressure turbine (HPT).
A portion of the steam is extracted to the HP feed water heater (Heater 2). The remainder of the steam enters
the moisture separator that used to remove the water from steam.
The removed water feds to Heater 2.
The remaining steam is superheated in the steam reheater. And then, it enters the low pressure turbine (LPT).
A portion of this steam is extracted to the LP feed water heater (Heater 1). The remainder is expanded in the
LPT to produce the mechanical power.

2.2.3 Turbine Speed Control System
Figure (5) shows a block diagram of a steam turbine speed control system. Initially, according to the electrical generator
design frequency, the speed of the steam turbine is set at a reference value. In case of turbine speed deviation from its set
point, the speed sensor provides a signal to the comparator device. The Speed error signal (difference between actual speed
signals and the speed set point initiates the hydraulic system to an action according to the difference. The hydraulic system
provides the required power for accurate positioning and rapid movement of the steam valve system. Any changes in the
steam valve position will be proportional to the turbine output torque, which ultimately regulates the speed.

3. SIMULATION RESULTS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN ELECTRICAL GRID AND NPP
There are many technical issues related with the electrical grid NPP interface among these issues is the sudden load
rejection to NPP and the tripping of NPP [20, 21].The whole NPP Simulink model is shown in figure 7.
Figure 7: The NPP Simulink Model Structure.
3.1 Effect of Electrical Grid on NPP
Abnormalities in electrical grid lead to transients in NPP. The effect depend on the severity of these Abnormalities, may
lead to NPP islanding or even to reactor tripping. Such Abnormalities adversely effect on the life and performance of the
plant [7].
Supposing the nuclear power plant is the generation on bus (1) of IEEE 30 bus system (see figure 8).

3.1.1 A Step Increase in Power Demand
As shown in figure 9, assuming that a step increase in power demand by 15% at the time=500 sec occurs. At the beginning
of the load step increase, an imbalance between the turbine mechanical torque and the generator electromagnetic torque
occurs and this leads to the decrease in speed of the turbine firstly. Then, according to the speed error signal the main
steam governor valve will increase the steam flowrate according to demand power. Finally, the turbine mechanical power
and output electrical power will match the connected load, and speed of the turbine will be returned to its set point value.
Also, it is shown that there is permissible decrease in the buses voltage of electrical grid.

3.1.2 A Step Decrease in Power Demand
As shown in figure (10), assuming that a step decrease in power demand by 15% at the time=500 sec occurs. When the
load request sharply decreases, turbine power deviates from its set value. As the governor responses, the control valves
(CVs) close partly to reduce the flow rate of steam. So that there is a decreasing in flow of steam through the turbine, while
the steam temperature and pressure in the SG increase. Thus, the exchange of heat between the primary and the secondary
sides of SG decreases, and the temperature of coolant increases. Then, power of the turbine decreases to provide the
required power demand. Also, the electrical grid voltage will increase responding to the decrease in the load.

3.2 Effect of NPP ON Electrical Grid
Due to the large size of NPP, during operating, it plays an effective role in stabilizing the electrical grid. In a situation of
NPP tripping, an imbalance between the required load and the available generation happens. Without an additional
generation, power can be quickly imported through external connections of grid or adding generation quickly, this may
lead to degrading in voltage on the alternate connections of offsite power that may result in loss of offsite power to the
NPP.
The proposed NPP model is implemented on IEEE 30-Bus system to evaluate the effectiveness of NPP model in
this study. An IEEE 30-bus system Single line diagram is showed in figure (8). Data of buses, regulated bus data, data of
lines, capacitors and transformer data for this test system can be found in the standard power system test case archive [22]
The system has 41 branches with 24 loads, 30 buses, 4 transformers, 2 generators and 4 synchronous condensers which are
used only for supporting the reactive power.
To show the effect of NPP abnormalities on voltage profile of IEEE 30bus system, a study for three power flow
cases were presented on the IEEE 30-Bus system. First, the magnitudes of voltage and phase angles were found for the
standard base case without any change on the NPP generation level.
The other two studies were:
Total loss of generation at bus 1 and at bus 2 (NPP shutdown)
loss of NPP generation at bus 1 by 50%

The aim was to study the voltage magnitude of IEEE 30 bus system under these different previous mentioned
cases.
3.2.1 Steady State Condition
This is the standard base case without any change in generation of the system. The results obtained in case of applying
state estimation method on the system shows that buses 26 and 30 have minimum voltages (Voltage at bus 26 equal 0.9999
pu and Voltage at bus 30, 0.9922 pu) and those are the weakest buses on the system. Therefore, these two buses can be
selected to implement facts on the future work.

3.2.2 Shutdown of NPP
In case of a sudden shutdown of NPP at bus 1 occurs (bus 1 presents 85% of the total generation of IEEE 30 bus system),
the voltage of all buses reduced and goes out the safety limits. This NPP outage will lead to a significant generation loss
for the grid. In this case, the grid must have reserves enough to warrant voltage stability of the system during down-times
or shutdown of NPP.
On the other hand, in case of considering NPP shutdown at bus 2 (bus 2 presents 15% of the IEEE 30 bus system

bus1. The results containing comparison of nodal voltage magnitudes with the IEEE 30 bus system standard base case

power demand is performed and analyzed. The NPP fast response to abnormalities showed the load following ability of
this plant, as it follows the changes in the load safely with a good response. Also, a study for the impacts of the NPP on the

50% based on the power system state estimation load flow method is presented. It is found that the sudden shutdown of
NPP capable of decreasing the voltage profile at the almost buses of system, depending on the percentage of generation
lost comparing with the total generation of the network. Also, the buses voltages in case of loss of generation by 50% are
plotted, analyzed and compared with the standard base case. Hence, the objective of this current work is to present the
unbalance that occurs in the electrical network, in case of losing a large percentage of generation.
