2.1.1 Functions of a nuclear power plant

The primary function of a power plant is to generate electricity with the best possible continuity of service. In terms of control systems, this translates into operational safety requirements (availability, maintainability, reliability). In addition, the power plant must be able to contribute to the voltage and frequency stability of the grid. This is achieved by regulating the turbine-generator set and the reactor control clusters. This requirement...
