"The new Voronezh nuclear power plant" applied support system of processes of operation

On August 1, 2016 AVV company announced delivery of an information system of support of processes of operation of the New Voronezh NPP.

Project Tasks

Within upgrade of nuclear power station, the customer set the task of accumulation of effective management of operational operation of the NPP, reliability augmentation and safety of functioning of its equipment and systems. As one of tools for the solution of this task took the information system of support of operation implemented on a software platform of eSOMS of version 3.9 of ABB ABB company^[1].

New Voronezh NPP, (2014)

Project Progress

Specialists of AVV company in cooperation with Inline Group company conducted examination of an object, developed technical specifications.

After that developed functionality:

• managements of bypasses of operators;
• maintaining operational magazines, administrative and technical orders, magazines of faults;
• managements of changes of operation personnel,
• formations of the operational reporting under results of bypasses and to data of operational magazines (sheets, official reports, operational magazines and other reporting documents).

Within the project in a system the database for bypasses of premises and the equipment is created by operation personnel, project and operational documentation is developed. The staff of AVV carried out acceptance tests, trained the staff of the New Voronezh NPP and put a system into operation.

Project Results

Works in the project began in March, 2015. In December, 2015 the operations support system was brought into operation on the 5th power unit. Until the end of 2017 it is supposed to implement a system on the 3rd and 4th power units.

Total amount of project cost exceeded 20 million rubles.

Project implementation helped:

• Increase efficiency of carrying out bypasses of the equipment (mobile electronic devices are used);
• Increase reliability and efficiency of information on a current status of systems and the equipment of the working power units;
• Increase reliability and efficiency of information on experience of operational operation.

Nikolay Stepin, deputy chief engineer for operation of the 3rd queue of the New Voronezh NPP|Ensuring reliable and safe operation of nuclear power station one of the major tasks. Its solution to a large extent depends on operation process automation level. At solutions of AVV company - deserved reputation in Russia and in the world on automation of production processes in power. This system is implemented and successfully functions on the Smolensk NPP more than two years. Therefore we expect that the operations support system of AVV eSOMS implemented on the New Voronezh NPP will allow to increase considerably efficiency and quality of work of operation personnel of the station, will reduce risk of human errors, will improve the culture of production and, in general, will provide new quality of management processes of the New Voronezh NPP.
