31310019C0011 P00001 ATTACHMENT NO. 1 MODIFIED DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT C.1 Title of Project Technical services related to decrement curve testing at a high power electrical testing facility.

C.2 Background High Energy Arcing Faults (HEAFs) have the potential to cause extensive damage to the failed electrical component and distribution system along with adjacent equipment and cables within the zone of influence. The significant energy released during a HEAF event can act as an ignition source to other components. By better understanding the HEAF event hazard through testing, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) can advance the state of knowledge and support developing a model to adequately evaluate this hazard in performance-based applications.

Starting in 2013, an NRC sponsored test program was conducted to obtain data to support HEAF risk model advancements (NRC-HQ-13-C-04-0012). Results from this testing and subsequent review of nuclear power plant operating experience identified several instances where the apparent damage from HEAF events involving aluminum exceeded that of existing hazard models. As such, the NRC initiated an internal generic issue program in 2016. As part of this program the NRC is assessing any risk impacts through testing and hazard model refinement.

In 2018, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published a report (EPRI 3002011923) documenting various plant configurations where HEAF can occur. One of the identified areas involves unit connected designs where there is no main generator breaker to clear the fault and the fault will persist until the generator excitation field collapses. Since there is no other isolation between the unit auxiliary transformers (UAT) /

switchgear bus and the main generator, the fault continued to be fed for the duration of the generator coast down until the voltage collapsed sufficiently to the point where the arc could no longer be sustained and extinguished. Reported cases of generator fed fault have typically been on the order of 4 to 8 seconds. There have been at least 8 known events, and likely several more, which makes this scenario realistic with probability of future events. Given the majority of nuclear power plants have this design and the potential for extend duration faults and thus large energy release, the NRC needs data via HEAF test using similar conditions, commonly referred to as generator decrement.

NRC has been (NRC-HQ-13-C-04-0012) and is currently under contract (NRC-HQ-60-15-C-0004) with KEMA Powertest LLC to perform HEAF tests that support resolution of the generic issue and a follow-on international effort (Phase II Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development [OECD] program). However, to ensure that the testing is representative for the specific scenarios involving generator decrement the NRC needs to perform testing with an energy source that mimics plant configurations. Since this is a first of a kind approach that differs from standard arc flash and HEAF testing practices where super excitation is used to maintain a constant energy source, specialized knowledge, skills, and tools are needed to ensure that the high power electrical testing facility is capable of performing the desired testing. This type of analysis is outside the scope of existing contract with KEMA Powertest LLC.

C.3 Objective The objective of this contract is to perform studies, simulations, and validation to determine if a high power testing facility is capable of replicating the decaying energy profile of a tripped plant generator from its prime mover.

13

31310019C0011 P00001 ATTACHMENT NO. 1 If it is determined that the high power testing facility is capable to perform this decrement testing, then facility modification (Contract Option) and testing will be performed to fulfil the testing needs. Testing will be performed on medium voltage electrical distribution equipment. If it is determined that the high power testing facility is not capable to perform this decrement testing, then the testing shall proceed following standard HEAF testing protocol at a lower voltage and longer duration that provides a similar total energy delivered to that of a generator fed HEAF decrement event.

C.4 Scope of Work/Tasks The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this Statement of Work (SOW). The contractor shall provide technical services to determine the feasibility of performing actual HEAF testing using a generator decrement energy source. Following the feasibility study, the contractor shall perform the tests at a high power testing facility.

The high power testing facility (i.e., the facility) is defined as an independent, short circuit test facility accredited to the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation ISO 17025 and capable of providing at least 50 megajoules (MJ) of electrical energy to the test specimen.

The contractor shall perform the following Tasks:

Task 1: Energy delivery simulation modeling Under this task, the contractor shall:

1. Develop a simulation model using standard industry practices and techniques for the facility equipment that would be used for full scale testing (Tasks 5 and 6).
2. Validate the developed model with the facility test results and make adjustment to simulation model as needed. The validation shall follow industry practices and identify simulation modeling bias and uncertainty. The simulation modeling parameters and parameter ranges spanning the test parameter requirements in Task 5 and 6 shall also be identified and documented in the finds.
3. Compare the facility capabilities (simulations) with nuclear power plant (NPP) generating station unit connected fault characteristics.
a. The NRC will acquire and provide to the contractor the NPP system characteristics directly from plants or via its collaborative research partners (Electric Power Research Institutes [EPRI]).
4. Compare the facility simulation model results to plant electrical distribution characteristics at the medium voltage bus level on the low side of the UAT.
5. Document the findings from this task in a letter report.

Task 2: Energy delivery system modification analysis Based on the results from Task 1, the contractor shall determine the capabilities of the facility to provide energy delivery profile similar to a nuclear power plant generator fed faults (generator decrement curve). A facility energy delivery decrement within 20 percent of the total integrated energy over the decay duration as compared to nuclear power plant generator fed HEAFs is considered acceptable. Information on nuclear power plant generator decrement curve can be found on the EPRI website and publicly available EPRI report 3002011923. This effort is broken down into the following sub-tasks.

Task 2.1: Generator Feasibility Study Under this sub-task, a feasibility study shall be performed to determine if the Laboratory Generator can provide a power delivery profile like a nuclear power plant generator fed fault (generator decrement curve). The deliverable for this subtask shall be a Letter Report documenting the feasibility of the Laboratory Generator to provide the power delivery profile. [Complete]

  • Characteristics of the arc during the test execution (confirmation of model used in Task 1 and Task 2.1)
2) a Letter Report containing the detailed engineering evaluation and estimation of level of effort required to complete Task 4.1. An order of magnitude estimate is defined as a high-level list of modifications, testing (if any) & deliverables (list of documents to be provided within the scope of Task 4.1).

In details, this Letter Report will include:

  • The description of the implemented model (the model developed during Task 1 and Task 2.1 will be converted to an ATP - Alternative Transient Program- model)
  • The outcome of model validation compared to KEMA Test Reports (wave-shape comparison)
  • Simulation results showing the laboratory capability with reference to the testing requirements defined in deliverable 1).
  • If any, the description of the modifications required to reach the testing requirement defined in deliverable 1).

  • A budgetary evaluation of the upgraded system components.

Information on the existing Laboratory station equipment will be used as input data. This information will regard both the original design ratings and the limitations and problems that are currently encountered in the performance of the tests including the operational aspects that need to be taken into account in the subsequent design activities.

More detailed specifications of the upgraded parts will be provided during Task 4.1, if approved by the Client All of the above will be based on the following information to be provided by the NRC prior to initiation of Task 2.2 above: Type and ratings of equipment to be tested (voltage and current);
