original I&C
• Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR)
– Primary side
– Secondary side
• Safety
– Redundancy
– Physical separation
– Diversity
• Operating principle
– Fail safe design

Loviisa NPP I&C renewal
• Loviisa NPP is going through an instrumentation and control (I&C) renewal project
to ensure the availability of the plant until the end of the lifetime.
• The I&C renewal project was originally started in year 2005
– A new direction was adopted in 2014
• I&C renewal will be carried out in stages
• Installations are done during the normal annual outages
– Final installations in 2018
• Suppliers
– Rolls-Royce
– Metso

Model development for training and E&D simulators
• Model development was started in year 2005
• Safety analysis model was used as a basis -> extension of scope
• Main processes, most of the auxiliary processes, automation and electrical power
systems are modelled
• Requirements:
– Real time simulation speed,
accuracy, multiple applications
• Acceptance Criteria
– Pre-selected transients
•

~ 120000 binary signals
~ 28000 analogue signals
~ 6000 thermal hydraulic nodes
~ 50000 automation I/Os

Simulator training
• US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC):
– Even 65% of the accident happening in the Nuclear Power Plants happens due to
Human Factors
• Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK):
– Simulator training shall be part of the initial and refresher training given to operators who
manipulate the reactor controls in the control room.
– The simulator facility must be as representative of the plant main control room as
possible.
– The simulator's behaviour during transient and accident conditions shall adequately well
correspond to the plant's behaviour and the range simulated shall cover plant normal
operation, operational transients and accidents in the extent appropriate.
• Training topics in simulator
– Malfunctions and failures
– Operating procedures
– Events from Loviisa or from other plants

Training simulator
• Important part of basic training and in
yearly continuing training
• Training simulator must be adopted to
the changes in the plant – especially in
the control room.
• Loviisa NPP Training Simulator is
updated alongside I&C renewal
– New I&C system and monitor based
control room
– New Apros models
• Training simulator renewal follows
stages of I&C renewal

E&D simulator - Development of new HMI systems and training
simulator
• Goal is to assist
– Design of new HMI
– Development and integration of
the new Loviisa NPP
• Extensive process model tests
• Testing and development of
new training simulator
– Interfaces and communication
between the components
– New components

E&D simulator – HMI and operating procedure design and testing
• Simulator assisted Human Machine Interface (HMI)
and Operating Procedure design and testing
– Large Screen Displays
– Reactor Protection System (RPS ) and long term
protection system (LPS) HMI pre-validation
• Functionalities can be seen and tested before
installations
The Fortum E&D simulator is a very suitable tool for the testing of
systems usability of the new design at those stages in which the training
simulator is not yet available.
The tests provided useful information for the further development of the
HMIs and gave valuable insights of the ways the operators monitor and
control the process according the new concept

E&D simulator – Testing of process model
• Testing of process model
– Whole process model is tested in
various tests
– In co-operation with Loviisa NPP
operators
• E&D simulator enables tests
where manual operations from
operators are needed.
• Feedback from the plant
personnel
• Model is tested in iterations

Conclusions
• Apros simulator is available for dynamic simulation of process systems
• Extensive use of simulators in Loviisa automation renewal
– Engineering and development simulator
– Second training simulator LOKS 2 will be build
• Same process model used in several applications
• Efforts to improve process models and tools
– APROS, Testing Station
• Experience from LARA stage 1
– Good results in using simulator
• HMI display design -> operators involved early on
• Closed loop I&C testing -> even initial data faults corrected
