Abstract
Ensuring transient stability of nuclear power plant units in transient modes of their operation is one of the goals aimed at achieving enhanced safety and reliability of nuclear power plants. Field experience shows that for nuclear power plants equipped with VVER-1000 reactors, matters relating to transient stability in modes involving disconnection of the power unit main equipment, such as reactor coolant pumps, turbine-driven feedwater pumps, and turbine generator, are of most concern. Specialists of the Institute for Nuclear Power Plant Research perform comprehensive investigations of the technological processes aimed at working out measures for achieving better transient stability of nuclear power plant units. The article presents the results of joint activities carried out by specialists of the Institute for Nuclear Power Plant Research and the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant on enhancing the transient stability of Unit 5 at the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant.
