Gj. Rogers et al., PERFORMANCE OF STATION SERVICE INDUCTION-MOTORS FOLLOWING FULL LOAD REJECTION OF A NUCLEAR GENERATING-UNIT, IEEE transactions on power systems, 10(3), 1995, pp. 1314-1320
In this paper we describe simulations, using EPRI's Extended Transient
Midterm Stability Program (ETMSP), which were performed to understand
the nature of a failed load rejection test on a nuclear unit, The fai
lure was a result of large induction motors stalling, causing protecti
ve relays to operate, Potential remedial measures were simulated and a
final solution, using a temporary voltage boost on the AVR, adopted a
nd implemented to prevent further failures.
