Coolant Flow Rate Measurement Technique for Nuclear Power Reactor Control Systems

The problems that arise during the transmission of control commands for key elements and data on their execution via communication systems over long distances at energy facilities are considered. The necessity of a new approach to solving this problem using a fiber-optic communication line (FOCL) is substantiated. A new design of analog FOCL has been developed for transmitting control commands for key elements of substations and switching data. A new method for forming an optical signal in a laser transmitting module using direct current modulation is proposed. The advantages of using a new method for generating commands for control signals and switching data using a sequence of command codes compared with digital signals currently used in control and monitoring systems are substantiated. The main parameters of the developed analog FOCL have been calculated. An experimental prototype of an analog FOCL was assembled, and research was conducted. The results of calculations and experimental data are compared. The directions for further modernization of the developed FOCL are determined to increase the distance for transmitting an optical signal up to 600 km without the use of servers, the maintenance of which in the power transmission line system in some cases is challenging, expensive, and not always possible.
