Performance Assessment of Conventional and Base-Isolated Nuclear Power Plants for Earthquake and Blast Loadings

The study presented in this report assesses the performance of conventional and base-isolated Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) reactor buildings subjected to earthquakes and blast loadings. Three base isolation systems, including Friction Pendulum, lead-rubber and low damping rubber bearings, are studied. This report proposes a new procedure for probabilistic seismic risk assessment of structures built on the methodology presented in the ATC-58 Guidelines and the Zion method. The procedure improves the Zion method by using fragility curves defined in terms of structural response parameters instead of ground motion parameters, providing a more suitable technique for the assessment of damage and failure of NPP components. The seismic performance assessment confirms the ability of base isolation systems to reduce spectral demands on secondary systems. Vist  for more  power plant performance

Power Plant Benefits

The Chariton Valley Biomass Project has completed two short-term test burns, cofiring switchgrass with coal, at Ottumwa Generating Station. Each of the previous test burns was conducted over several weeks. During each of these tests, an extensive data collection program on a wide range of power plant performance parameters was executed. In addition, hundreds of samples (coal, switchgrass, fly ash, bottom ash solids and liquids, economizer ash) were collected and sent out for independent laboratory analysis. Air emissions for criteria air pollutants were monitored throughout the tests. During these tests, the average heat input from switchgrass was about 2% of the total heat input for the power plant. The results of that testing showed Vist  for more  power plant performance test

Wood Group And University Of Zulia Open New Gas Turbine Test Facility In Venezuela

The test facility, which is located within the University's School of Engineering, is mutually beneficial for both parties. For WGGTV, having in-country testing capability means it can offer enhanced local support for the 35 Alstom TA1750 gas turbines it maintains for Petroleós de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), Venezuela's national oil company, under a long term contract with SIMCO, a Wood Group-led consortium responsible for operating and maintaining 15 water injection platforms for PDVSA on Lake Maracaibo. Likewise, the University benefits by being able to offer its engineering students the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience of rotating equipment during engine testing.
