Replacement of Main Transformers (500Kv) new monitoring sys. Replacement of Radiation Monitors (R11 & R12) Upgrade of Reactor Coolant Pump Vibration Mon. Sys. (Rovsing) Upgrade of Digital Rod Position Indication System (DRPI)
3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 1)
3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 1) What we have done successfully regarding Control? Replacement of transmitters (Emerson) and Foxboro Modules for NUS Level Control System of Heater Exchangers (Yokogawa Sinlge Loop) Pressure Control of the Biological Barrier Ventilation Sys (Siemens SL) Upgrade of Reactor Protection System (replacement of electronic cards) Upgrade of Control Rod Drive Mechanism (replacement of cards) Upgrade of Turbine and Feed Water Ctrl Sys. (West./Emerson Ovation) Full Scope Simulator System (Training Center new building) What we are planning to do regarding Control? NSSS upgrade Pzr Level and Pressure, Chemical Volume Ctrl, Reactor Ctrl (Average Temp., Overpower and Over temp. delta T loops), Rod Insertion Limit (RIL), Steam Dump (SD), Rod Speed Ctrl, Safety Injection and Accumulator (SA) loops.
3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 1)
3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 2) COOPERATION WITH THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION Eletronuclear developed a two year project with the EC to upgrade Safety Related I&C of Angra 2. The project aimed to define a strategy for the replacement of the existing analogue I&C equipment currently used in Angra 2, mainly the systems important to safety. The project reached its conclusion in the beginning of 2013. The results has been used to modernize Angra 2 safety related I&C.
3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 2) What we have done successfully regarding Monitoring? Upgrade of Plant Process Computer SICA Installation of Thermal Transient Monitoring System Upgrade of LPMS and Vibration Monitoring System Upgrade of Aeroball System Upgrade of Reactor Vessel Level Instrumentation System What we are planning to do regarding Monitoring? Modernization of Gas Stack Monitoring (KLK) Modernization of Radiation System (replacement SINUPERM M) Modernization of Physical Protection System - (CZ)
3- Fleet Modernization (Angra 2) What we have done successfully regarding Control? Modernization of Chlorination System Modernization of Turbine Building Crane Control Modernization of Polar Bridge Crane Control Modernization of Boiler Control Loops Modernization of Reactor Control System (JS) What we are planning to do regarding Control? Modernization of Refueling Machine
