PROTECTION SYSTEM AND PROTECTION METHOD OF POWER PLANT USING FPGA

摘要

Provided is a plant protection system, which determines initiation of protective actions for the plant, and more particularly to the plant protection system including four channels which controls systems that shut down the plant or mitigate consequences of abnormal conditions of the plant by detecting non-permissible plant conditions with the result of bistable logic comparing process parameters with their setpoints assigned to each channel. Accordingly, common mode failure and cyber security vulnerability caused by software are removed since the system is composed of FPGA and other types of hardware without central processing units and software in determining the initiation of plant protective actions.
