Description

363~

VPA 82_ P 6076 POWER PLANT
Specification The invention relates to a power plant with a block of buildings for at least one steam generakor, at least one turbo~
generator, at least one switching station, at least one emergency feed-water system and at least one emergency power generator.
~ hen a power plant is erected in areas subject to a risk of earth~uakes, one must anticipate the likelihood, however, that the individual buildin~s will be mutually displaced and thus simultaneously change the orientation thereof both with respect to the compass and also with respect to the horizontal. In such an event, steam lines and other supply lines must not be disconnected nor must the angle of inclination of the building to the horizon-tal assume such values that any further use of the building is precluded.
It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide a power plant which is less vulnerable to seismic stresses than heretofore known installations and is therefore more suitable for construction in earthquake zones. Above all, it is an object of the invention to provide such a power plant wherein slewing and tilting movements of individual buildings should be kept as slight as possible in the event of a possible shift in the subsoil in horizontal and vertical direction. It is another object of the invention to keep the additional cost required .

~2~

for such a cons~ruction as low as posslble With the foregoing and other ob~ect~ ln view, there is provided, in accordance with the invent~on, a power plant with a b].ock of buildings ro-r at least one steam generator, at least one turbogenerator) at least one switchi.ng station, at least one emergency feedwater system and at least one emer~ency power generator comprising a first building housing the steam generator, a second building housing the tU~bogenerator and a third building constructed separately from the first and second buildings and being of a size for housing both the emergency power generator and the switching station in common and being thereby resistant ~o earthquakes~

This construction according to the lnvention avoids having building units which are too small. This is based upon the recognitlon that the slewing motion of a building as a result of earthquake acceleration is less, the great~r the ground or base area thereof. On the other hand, buildings which are too large and would accordingly require extremely strong and expen-5ive ~oundations are also avoided with this building methoda Furthermore, the number of the pipe and cable ducts or channels connecting the individual buildings is thereby reduced in com-parlson with heretofore known embodiments.

In accordance with a pre~erred embodiment, the emergency feed-water system is also housed in the bullding for the emergency power generator and the switchlng station. Preferably, the emergency feedwater system is housed below the level at which
2 -the emergency power gener~tor and the switching station are installed.

In accordance with a further feature of the lnvention wherein several emergency power generators are used, they are housed in a common building ln rooms which are adjacent to two opposing walls of the building~ and the ~,witching statlons are arranged ln rooms intermediate thereto.

In an additional embodiment of the invention~ wherein the power plant is enlarged by a second power plant block, this su'bdivision of the building for the emergency power generators and switching stations permits the common building for the emergency power generators and switching stations to be enlarged in an identlcal manner i e. doubled in size. Thls enables the emergency power generator to be installed and removed~ as well as supplied with f`resh air and cooling air, by the shortest route, namely via the outer wall, even after being doubled. Just as important is the fact that the doubling is possible without requiring the buildlng for the emergency power generators and switching stations provided for the ~irst power plant block to be of mirror~image construction. ~his is lmportant because~ as a result of the different construction in the individual different ~ections of this building, mlrror-imaging involves a conslderable additional structural expenditure both wlth respect to the plans f'or the buildings as well as the f'ittillgs therefor.

In accordance with a further feakure of' the invention, the common building is constructed with a f'ront wall disposed : - 3 -~2Z;~

perpendicularly to those slde walls locate(l directly ad~acent to the rooms f'or the emergency power ~enerators and f'acing the building for the steam generator. This orientation of' the common building permits cable lengths L'or conrlection to the building for the steam generator to be considerably shorter than in any other building orientation.

In accordance with an added feature of the invention, a control and operating room is arranged above the switchlng station. In the case of two power station blocks, the building for the switching stations and the emergency power generators, which is common to the two blocks, contains a control and operating room for both blocks.

In accordance w1th a concomittant feature of the invention a~d in order to avQid overlaps or intersections of' pipes and cables, the switching station, the emergency power generators and the emergency feedwater system are arranged in specific spatial regions associated with f'ixed spatial regions of the building housing the steam generator.

Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forkh in the appended claims.

Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in a power plant, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since varlous modlfications and structural changes may be made thereln without departing from the splrit of the lnvention and withln the scope and range of' equivalents of the claims
3~3~ 1 The construction an(~ metho~l of operation of the invention, however, toget}ler w'fth additlonal objects arld advant;ages thereof will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connectlon with the accom- ¦
panying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a highly diagrammatic plan view of a nuclear power plant according to the state of the art;

Fig 2 is a view like that of Fig. 1 of a nuclear power plant enlarged with a second nuclear reactor and having emergency power generators and swltching stations housed in a common building in accordance with the invention; and Fig. 3 is a view similar to that of Fig. 2 Or another embodiment of Fig. 2, showing a further development of the common building for the emergency power generato~ and switching stations.

Referring now to khe drawing and first, particularly, to Fig. 1, there is shown with reference to a completed nuclear power plant 1 a mutual arrangement of the individual buildings of the power plant. A central reactor building 2 has a circular ground plan.
It contains? in addition to a nuclear reactor, several heat ?
exchangers for a non-illustrated secondary circulatory loop. It ¦
also contains a number of electrical consumers which mus~ be suppl~ed with electrical power even in the case of a disruption due to an emergency shutdown of the nuclear reactor. A bullding 3 for a reactor emergency standby plant is located immediately next to the reactor building ~.

~ Z ~ ~ ~ 3 ~

A turbogenerator 4 ~s erected next to thc re~ctor building 2 in a separate building, namely a power house ~. A switching station building 6 is built onto the auxiliary or emergency standby plant building 3. Behind the switching station buil~ing 6, ~here is a further small, separ-ate bullding 7 ln which a nurnber of non-illustrated e~ergency power generators, u~ually ~our, are housed.
Furthermore~ an emergency feedwater system building ~3 is also provided a short distance from the reactor building 2. The bullding 8 contalns several non-illustrated emergency feedwater systems.
The buildings 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are connected together by ducts 9 to 22 which house the various pipelines and electric cables.
The connections o~ the generator to the consumer power supply have been omltted for the sake of clarity.

A power plant or station 1 of the foregoirlg type is vulnerable to large earth movements or displacements such as might cccur in areas subject to the risk of major earthquakes.

The slewing or tilting motions o~ those buildings with relatively small dimensions, such as the building 7 for the emergency power generatorsJ the emergency feedwater system building 8 and the switching station building 6 could be relatively pronounced during certain accelerated movements of the earth.

Fig. 2 shows a nuclear power plant or station 23 according to the invention, wherein only three buildings of approximately the same Bize are used in each power plant block The buildings are a reactor ~uilding 24 for the nuclear reactor and non-illustrated heat exchangers for the secondary circulatory loop for the reactor, ~2;~

a building 25 ~or a turbogenerator 26, and a third building 35 housing emergency power generators 27, 28, 2~ and 30, associated switching stations 31, 32, 33 and 31~ and a non-i~lustrated emergency ~eedwater system.

~ result of combining the indiviclual functional units o~ the power plant into three diff`ererlt buildings is that the number of pipe and cable connections laid between the buildings in ducts 36, 37 and 38 has been clearly reduced. At the same time, how-ever~ the building volume is also reduced thereby both with respect to the ducts as well as the buildings.

For safety reasons, all three of the buildings 24J 25 and 35, shown in Fig. 2,are suitably spaced from one another This provides a giYen Glearance ~or movement enabling the pipe and cable connec-tions lald between the individual buildings in ducts to absorb sli~ht shifts between the buildings elastically.

As a result of combining the indlvidual functional units 1nto only three buildings, the buildings 25 and 35 have become approxi-mately as large as the reactor building 24. On the other hand, these buildings are also not so large that their f`oundations ha-ve to be excessively thick. Finally, the arrangement of the switching stations 31, 32, 33 and 34 between the individual emergency power generators 27~ 28, 29 and 30, on the one hand, and the reactor building 24, on the other hand, means that only short cable connection lengths are needed. The nuclear power plant or station 23 represented in Fig. 2 may be doubled wlth respect to the electrical power output thereo~ by a second power plant block 39 shown ~ 7 ~

in broken lines. In this regardJ the buildings 35 arld 40 for the emergency power generators, the emergency feedwater systems and the switching s~ations associated with the two power station blocks are erecte~ as mirror images, or are bui]~ from t;he staxt as a single bui.lding of appropriate size.

Fig. 3 shows a further development of the power plant or station 23~ 39 of Fig, 2. While the reactor building 41 and the buildin~
42 for the turbogenerakor 43 are unaltered, the internal construc-tion of the building 44 for the emergency power generators 45~
46, 47 and 48, the emergency feedwater systems and the switching stations 49~ 50, 51 and 52 has been altered.

Thus, the four emergency power generators 45 to 48 and the emergency feedwater systems are housed in pairs along opposing outer walls 53 and 54 of this building, and the associated switching stations are housed in the rooms between the emergency power generators. Moreover, building 44 is so arranged ln relation to the reactor building 41 that the front wall 55 of the building 44, which is located between the two outer walls 53 and 54 ad-jacent to the emergency power generators and the emergency feed-water system, faces the reactor building 41. With this constructionJ
the pipelines and the cable connections between the two buildings 41 and 44 are as short as those of the embodiment of Fig. 2.

When a second power plant block,including a second reactor building 56J a further power house 57 and a further building 58 for emer gency power generators, an emergency feedwater system and switching stations~is builk afterwardsJ khe building 58,however, unllke the embodiment of Fig. 2, may be constructed indentically to the firs-t building 44. This avoids mirror-imaging which would be required if the building for the emergency power yenerators, the emergency feedwater system and the switching stations were constructed in the same manner as the buildings 35 and 40 of Fig. 2. This clearly reduces the cost of cons-tructions both for the bulldings and fittings or internals. Furthermore, the two switching stations of the two power plant blocks are disposed directly adjoining one another. Moreover, the two power plant regions or areas can be arranged and combined, if necessary, to form one room area or region. With this construction, all the emergency power generators and emergency feedwater systems remain accessible through the outside walls even in the case of a power plant or station formed of two power plant blocks. This facilitates installation and removal of equipment.
