Onsite DC Power (Class 1E UPS)

> DC/UPS system is an evolutionary design feature:Motor operated valve loads are AC loads fed from the bus on the output of the 480VAC inverter, which is supplied from the batteryDC loads (I&C, switchgear control power, etc) are supplied downstream of UPS inverters by multiple 480VAC/250VDC and 480VAC/24VDC converters

> Advantages vs conventional DC system:Better reliability• A backup source of power is available to safety significant loads

from the 480VAC fast regulating transformers in the event of a failure of the normal inverter, battery or charger

• Safety significant loads are fed from a regulated power source vs. one in which voltage decays as the battery is discharged

Four fewer battery systems (24VDC)24VDC converters located close to the loads minimizes large diameter DC cabling runs

Electrical Systems Analysis

> ETAP® studies will be developed to verify the adequacy of the conceptual design

> Load flow, short circuit and dynamic analyses of the electrical system will be developed to:

Verify the adequacy of the diesel generator size and diesel generator loadingDevelop equipment specifications for transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers and MCCsDynamic transfer analyses to validate transfers to back up sources of power on a loss of a normal sourceDetermine requirements needed to assure off-site power system voltage adequacy
