Hierarchy of NPEC/WG P&P Manual “Road Map of Procedures”

Baseline Document - SASB Approved December 2010 1

IEEE Power & Energy Society Nuclear Power Engineering Committee

Policies and Procedures for

Standard Development

Date of Submittal: 30 November 2012 Date of Acceptance: 05 December 2012



IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Nuclear Power Engineering Committee (NPEC) Baseline Policies and Procedures for Standards

Development

1.0 Introduction

In today’s market, standards development plays a critical role in product development and market share. In the IEEE, the responsibility for how a standard originates and evolves is managed by a Sponsor. It is essential in the management of a standard’s development to avoid any actions by the NPEC or the participants that result in a violation of procedures.

Adherence to these Policies and Procedures is an essential asset in determining the applicability of IEEE’s indemnification policy.

These Policies and Procedures outline the orderly transaction of standards activities of the IEEE/PES Nuclear Power Engineering Committee (hereafter referred to as NPEC). For the development of standards, openness and due process shall be applied, which means that any person with a direct and material interest who meets the requirements of these Policies and Procedures has a right to participate by

a) Expressing a position and its basis,

b) Having that position considered, and

c) Appealing if adversely affected.

Due process allows for equity and fair play. In addition, due process requires openness and balance (i.e., the standards development process should strive to have a balance of interests and not to be dominated by any single interest category). However, for the IEEE Standards Sponsor ballot, there shall be a balance of interests without dominance by any single interest category.

Participants engaged in the development of standards must comply with applicable federal, state, and international laws. In addition, for standards matters, the latest versions of several documents take precedence over this document in the following order:

New York State Not-for-Profit Corporation Law IEEE Certificate of Incorporation IEEE Constitution



IEEE Bylaws IEEE Policies IEEE Board of Directors Resolutions IEEE Standards Association Operations Manual IEEE-SA Board of Governors Resolutions IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual IEEE-SA Standards Board Resolutions Technical Council O&P Manual Policies and Procedures of NPEC

Anything the NPEC creates is hierarchically inferior to the documents and resolutions that are listed above its Policies and Procedures. The Policies and Procedures of the NPEC are hierarchically superior to other documents of the NPEC. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR) is the recommended guide on questions of parliamentary procedure not addressed in these procedures.

EPRI EDG EffortsDG Tune

– An alternative method to isochronoustuning of EDG governors developed byTVA in 1990’s (Ed Bradley, Rick Brehm, and MarkBowman)

– Phase I - Validation Published EPRI 3002009446,

Frequency Domain Characterizationof Emergency Diesel GeneratorSpeed Control Systems: A PracticalApproach to Governor TuningStandardization and Optimization(Can download from EPRI.com)

– Phase II – Build Spec Build Specification and additional

guidance Expected completed late 2018 or early

2019


The Common Traditional Tuning Method Review

Time Domain Tuning: Uses data recorder to capture EDG dynamic speed response for review as governor tuning adjustments are made.

The tuning process inputs a step change into system:– Bumping fuel rack (e.g., EDG stop lever; hold and release)– Momentary resistive jumper switch connected to speed controller (small signal injection)

Review output trace; Verify it matches previous traces (1/4 wave dampening)– EDG Fast Start– EDG Load Reject– Dead Bus Motor Starting

Method characteristics:– No discrete boundary of clear acceptance criteria– Relies on skill-of-the-craft for making judgement call (good enough)– Less repeatable (between technicians, vendors, engines)– Can result in wider range of tuning responses between different engines


DG Tune: How It Works

Frequency Domain Tuning:– Stimuli: Multiple discrete sinusoidal frequencies over a specified

frequency range (range of useful speed control response)– Software derives Frequency Response Transfer Function and plots Gain

vs. Frequency– Acceptance Criteria: EDGs that previously passed Tech Spec

surveillances used as baselines to create “boundary” of acceptance Baseline boundaries of previous Tech Spec acceptable EDG control

system performance = no guess work (no subjectivity)– Common technique for tuning linear control systems (e.g., main

generator voltage regulator power system stabilizer tuning (PSS))– Computer with commercial software: Requires programming

– Requires a Data Acquisition (DAQ) unit (with signal generator)– Requires frequency-to-voltage converter (flywheel frequency to volts)



Frequency Response Function (FRF):– A frequency response function is a mathematical representation of the

relationship between the input and the output of a system.– The basic functions for FFT-based signal analysis are the Fast Fourier

Transform (FFT), the Power Spectrum, and the Cross PowerSpectrum.

– Issue: The feed back signal used for DG Tune (e.g., EDG speed signal

(MPU)) is typically noisy, not a perfect replica of the DG Tune inputtest signal. The H1(f) FRF is used in situations where the output to the system

is expected to be noisy when compared to the input.

– Cross Spectral Density: Magnitude & Phase Angle– Power Spectral Density: Magnitude only


DG Tune: How It Is Connected to the Governor


DG Tune: Critical Things to Know

Baselines must be established prior to tuning the governor.

EDG running (maintenance run); not connected to Bus (output breaker open):– Tuning done in isochronous (speed control) mode

Baseline data collection: Approximately 2 minutes per EDG– DG Tune “actively” collecting data

– Does not include connecting/disconnecting DG Tune M&TE, Operations support (starting EDG), etc.

Developed for Woodward 2301A.– Method applicable to any electronic control system

For example: Could be developed for Woodward EGA that us potential transformers (PT) for frequencyfeedback

Commercially available equipment:– Computer

– Engineering control system analysis software

– Data Acquisition (DAQ) module with sine wave frequency generating capabilities

– Frequency to Voltage Converter (F-to-V) to convert flywheel gear teeth frequency to voltage

Computer Analysis: Calculates transform function and plots Gain vs. Frequency for analysis.

DG Tune: Tuning Aid


EPRI DG Tune: Phase II Objectives

EPRI DG Tune primary objectives:– A “Build Specification” such that members can build the DG Tune

equipment.– M&TE identified.– Programming approach: Frequency (sine) sweep generation using the Computer/DAQ Data collection and automated analysis

Operating and testing guidance to effectively conduct tuning with DG Tune using sine sweep method:

– Functional bench testing (ensure equipment is properly operating)
