Abstract

In a deregulated electricity market, grid connections require a contract between the electricity producers and the transmission system operator (TSO) to guarantee the power generation reliability. To comply with TSO´s rules, EDF producer checks performance of its power plants with periodical tests. For nuclear plants, a conformity evaluation method has been applied. The method is based on measurements and impact analysis of influencing parameters regarding the reliability of electric system (IPR). EDF producer has to inform the TSO of a significant IPR deviation and its impact on the plant performance. In order to support its official appraisal on the impact of drifted IPR, EDF R&D has developed a tool named DEPISTE which compares, through simulations, the stability performance with reference IPR and drifted IPR parameters.
