Availability of the Emergency Safety Electrical System of a Konvoi Nuclear Power Plant Considering Mobile Arrangements of Diesel Generators After Fukushima

This work investigates the availability of the power system of a Konvoi nuclear power plant against a station blackout scenario considering the acquisition of emergency mobile diesel generators (DG_Ms) as an additional alternative for power supply to the plant, which is one of the post-Fukushima initiatives planned to improve safety. The study was carried out by modeling the systems involved using Markov chains. The simulation carried out through the MATLAB program showed a considerable gain in the availability of the emergency electric system when the group of DG_Ms is added to the set.
