Instrumentation,Controls,and Human-Machine Interface Technology Development Roadmap in Support of Grid Appropriate Reactors
Grid Appropriate Reactors (GARs)are a component of the U. S. Department of Energys (DOEs)Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP)program. GARs have smaller output power (less than ~ 300 MWe), than those intended for deployment on large, tightly coupled grids. This smaller size is important in avoiding grid destabilization, which can result from having a large fraction of a grids electrical generation supplied by a single source. GARs are envisioned to be deployed worldwide-often in locations without extensive nuclear power experience. DOE has sponsored the creation of an Instrumentation, Controls, and Human-Machine Interface (ICHMI) technology development roadmap emphasizing the specific characteristics of GARs. This roadmapping effort builds upon and focuses the recently developed, more general nuclear energy ICHMI technology development roadmap. The primary objectives of this GAR ICHMI roadmap are to provide (1)a general framework to understand the dependencies of GARs on advanced ICHMI, (2)overall descriptions of how improved ICHMI can improve the performance and accelerate deployment of GARs, and (3)a structured set of projects addressing the highest-priority GAR ICHMI technology development needs. Grid-Appropriate Reactors are anticipated to be widely deployed in situations where their lower gross capital cost, better match to electrical grid characteristics, smaller footprint, and higher degree of passive safety make their selection advantageous over larger nuclear plants. While the Department of Energy (DOE) has recently sponsored the development of an ICHMI technology development roadmap broadly focused on its nuclear energy program, GARs have distinctive safety, operational, and security characteristics, which alter the priorities for research, development, and demonstration （RD&D)relative to their larger counterparts. Note, however, that all of the ICHMI research and development (R&D)recommended for GARs would be applicable to larger reactors, just of lower priority for the larger units on high inertia grids.
