TRACE MODE SCADA/HMI Controls Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant Fire Safety System

SKB Tensor company (Russia, Moscow region) has developed and successfully commissioned an automated fire safety system for units №1 and №2 of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, India (Tamil Nadu).

The automated fire safety system for units №1 and №2 of Kudankulam nuclear power plant, India runs under control of TRACE MODE SCADA/HMI (AdAstrA, Russia).

TRACE MODE SCADA/HMI performs the following functions ...

SCADA TRACE MODE 6 in Control System of European Nuclear Power Plants

A Moscow-based SNIIP-SISTEMATOM company has set up an automated system to control the neutron current in the reactors of the 3rd and 4th power units at Bogunitse nuclear power plant (Slovakia). The new control system has been developed using Russian made SCADA/HMI software TRACE MODE 6.

A similar control system has been also developed for Mokhovtse nuclear power plant (Slovakia). 

The SCADA/HMI TRACE MODE based Zirconium Electrolysis Control System Demonstrates High Reliability and Fast Payback

Chepetsk Mechanical Factory  (Glazov, Udmurtiya, Russia) is the biggest Russian manufacturer of pipes from zirconium alloys for fuel elements of nuclear reactors.

The zirconium electrolysis control system has been developed by the engineers from Chepetsk Mechanical Factory using PC-based controllers by Octagon Systems (USA), industrial PCs by Advantech and the integrated SCADA and SOFTLOGIC system TRACE MODE. It is interesting, that TRACE MODE  has been used both on operator PC (SCADA/HMI) and in controllers (SOFTLOGIC).

The SCADA/HMI TRACE MODE based control system has shown high reliability. The system availability factor have been equal to 0.984.

Best Electricity Production Performance for The Last 10 Years Has Been Achieved at Kola Nuclear Plant

As it is reported by Kola NPP official Web site, the results of plant's operation in 2003 have been summarized. The plant have achieved the best electricity production performance for the last 10 years - 9918.7 million kW-h. In 2003, the electricity generation plan has been fulfilled by 102%.

Let us remind you that in 2003 an ambitious recent project of the Unit No.1 modernisation has successfully been completed at Kola NPP. Within the framework of this project,  the TRACE MODE based control system has been installed at the central dispatcher control room. As a result of modernisation, the power plant has obtained a license issued by RF Gosatomnadzor for its further operation for the period of five years.

TRACE MODE Technologies for Integrated Development of Control Systems in Nuclear Industry

The system for the monitoring of energy released in fuel channels was commissioned for a trial operation at the State Scientific Centre of the RF Research Institute of Nuclear Reactors (SSC RF NIIAR), on the MIR-M1 research nuclear reactor. The project has been developed in TRACE MODE integrated SCADA and Softlogic-system, using ADAM-5510 (Advantech) and Micro PC (Octagon Systems) controllers.

TRACE MODE at Nuclear Power Plants: New Results

The new TRACE MODE 5 based project was implemented by the specialists of Kola nuclear power plant (Murmansk Region) in atomoc industry. It is the second case of the TRACE MODE launching at nuclear power plants.

The monotoring system of nuclear power plant units has been developed by specialists of VNIIEF-Volgogas (Sarov, Nizhny Novgorod Region) and for the first time implemented at the Kalininskaya NPP. The success of the first project has become the basis for subsequent implementations.

TRACE MODE in Nuclear Industry

Under the program of modernization in Russian nuclear industry, VNIEF Volgogas (Sarov, Russia) has developed a new TRACE MODE-based control system for the first power unit of Kalininskaya nuclear power plant (NPP). This system has been also equipped with Octagon System (USA) PC-based c. The new control system was successfully launched in January 2002 and since that stable and safe operation.
