SNC Degraded Grid Design Criteria April 23, 2014 1
Agenda
Background
- New SNC Degraded Grid Relaying Design Criteria
Purpose Review the design criteria being used by Southern Nuclear for the new degraded grid voltage protective relaying at Hatch Nuclear Plant and Farley Nuclear plant.
These criteria draw from previous industry guidance and our own experience, experience but are not intended as a commitment to any particular existing guidance document.
Obtain NRC feedback on the criteria to help ensure that the implemented solutions meet NRC expectations for automatic protection for potential degraded grid events and resolve NRC findings from the related CDBIs.
3
Background
For a potential degraded grid event, previous designs:
y
- Relied on manual actions byy the transmission system and plant operators to prevent an occurrence.
- Some required Class 1E loads were not automatically protected t t d from f a sustained t i d voltage lt inadequacy.
i d There are currently two submittals on the docket docket, one for Plant Farley and one for Plant Hatch, that include a schedule for the degraded grid modification projects. The LAR submittals b itt l revise i each h plants l t operatingti lilicense tto include completion dates, by unit, for the modifications.
4
Background - Scope of Modifications
- Replacement of the existing degraded voltage relays
- Raising the existing voltage setpoints.
- R Replacement l t off the th existing i ti d degraded d d voltage lt relays l iincluding l di change from 2 relays to 3 relays (2 of 3 logic).
- Raising the existing voltage setpoints.
- Replacement of 4 existing startup auxiliary transformers
- Addition of 2 new startup auxiliary transformers and 230KV breakers including associated relaying, fire protection, etc.
- Upgrade of 4.16KV bus short circuit capability for 10 buses (breakers and bus bracing).
5

Definitions & Acronyms
- DVR - Degraded Voltage Relaying
- MEV - Minimum Expectedp Voltage g - The steadyy state voltage level at the 4.16kV buses that is expected when the 230kV switchyard is at the minimum voltage based on contingency studies defined by the FSARFSAR.
- MRV - Minimum Required Voltage - The steady state voltage level at a Class 1E 4.16kV bus that is required for its safety-related loads to accomplish their safety functions. The safety-related motors shall be able to start successfully with the pre pre-start start steady-state steady state bus voltage at the MRV.
8
Design Criteria - Voltage
- The DVR shall be set such that offsite power will be automatically disconnected and transferred to onsite power during an extended degraded grid condition (any voltage dip having a longer duration than expected for normal or accident operations).
- The DVR on the Class 1E 4.16KV bus will be set so that, including tolerances, voltage dropout value will be above the MRV value.
- The Th DVR voltagelt resett value, l i l di including tolerances, will be set below the MEV.
9
Design Criteria - Time Delay
- The DVR minimum time delay will be set such that, with tolerances, it will delay actuation to prevent a spurious trip due to motor starting or other momentary transient events.
- The DVR maximum time delay will be set such that, with tolerances, it will:
- be less than the maximum time allowed for the diesel generator to start and obtain rated speed and voltage.
- prevent loss of Class 1E functions when the voltage is inadequate by actuation prior to a trip of loads on overload.
10
Voltage Setpoint Methodology
- Part 1 - Using maximum expected non-accident bus loading, determine minimum acceptable steady-state voltage for normal operation.
- Part 2 - Using maximum expected accident loading, determine the minimum pre-start voltage that provides acceptable Class 1E motor starting (e.g. during LOCA block motor starting)
- Part 3 - Using maximum expected accident loading, determine the minimum steady-state voltage that provides acceptable Class 1E motor operation and starting for individual motors.
- The maximum voltage of Parts 1-3 determines the MRV (i.e. analytical limit).

DVR Voltage Setpoint Example Limiting Part Setting to detect inadequate LOCA starting Setting for voltage prior to start normal steady state requirement Setting for LOCA steady state requirement Colored bar represents the DVR voltage setting uncertainty & reset requirement 13
DVR Time Delay Setpoint Example
- At MEV, LOCA block motor starting voltage transient lasts for 7 seconds (i.e. recovers above the DVR voltage reset value).
- The duration of all other motor starting or fault transient events is less than 7 seconds.
- Upon a LOCA, the diesel must start and be at normal voltage and frequency (i(i.e.
e ready for loading) at 15 seconds seconds.
- With inadequate voltage, motors cannot stall for greater than 12 seconds without tripping on overload.
- C Considering id i DVR time i d delay l uncertainty,i the h setting i
must be between 7 and 12 seconds.
